You've obviously never listened to "Anime People" talk about Anime. If you're into Anime, you wouldn't pick up on it- you're far too gone to realize the inherent geekiness. People outside the circle see it immediately.

I'm not really suicidal, i'm what you call, a depressed nerd. But what I got is what I got.

Eh... I don't watch anime. I just don't get it. The storylines are cool, if all too often sappy (though this is true of anything dealing with storylines I generally tend to like). But the animation style itself is... well... lets just say I don't get it.

try not to think of anime as cartoons. it makes more sense if you think of it like the film industry. there are many different kinds for all ranges of audiences. some are designed for children, others are strictly for adults, while others yet almost exclusively cater to teens.
anime is cartoons that are not cartoony. most characters are not one dimensional as with western animation. and i quote animenation.com here when i say "other cartoons are almost linear. bugs bunny id thinking of his next one-liner while superman is trying to save the city at any cost. in anime though, the guy could be piloting a giant robot while thinking about his relationship and worrying about getting to his part time job."

look, i wrote a haiku-

anime? okay...
giant robots, fighting kids
dubbing is sucky


and a lymeric-

i once saw a show of anime,
it was just the beginning, so i stayed.
as i kept on watching,
i felt like vomitting,
for the show turned out to be hentai.

just for the record... NEVER MENTION HENTAI AGAIN!!

sorry for shouting but i vehemothly oppose the perversion of the art that is anime by the fetid horror of hentai. some have even discribed me as a Paladin with a +5/+5/+5 dire hammer when used to smite this abomination.

anyone feel like a new topic?

why am i the only one who's posts, join date, and location are still displayed next to my name?

You're not. You're just the only person with a location long enough to force your Join date to be right next to your picture. Look at everyone else's avatar, move your eyes about six inches to the right, and examine closely. If you need CSI Miami to come in and do a forensic analysis, I'll be happy to call them in.

Haha. Sorry ...

I never liked anime. Never got it. The art style is... visually unsettling for me. Maybe I'm just uncultured.

I always found the huge eyes and small mouths rather weird looking. It gives them a juvenile look. Maybe that's why?

"i see", said the blind man as he picked up his hammer and saw.

i guess my screen resolution is too small to show it unless i scroll. thanks.

lyc.-you're not uncultured. all it means is that you don't has the otaku sub-class.
