ITT: ross gets mad about animes

I've watched animes since the age of six or seven. Back then I watched Dragon Ball Z, and was incredibly into it. When I went outside, I played I was Goku. When I watched the show, I played I was Goku. Then of course the series ended, and even being 10 I knew GT was a piece of shit, so I got into reading Manga.

For me, only Dragon Ball still capturers my attention for watching it. I like to read japanese comics more than watch their stupid cartoons. And I pretty much only watch Dragon Ball now is because I remember watching it as a kid. And the only mangas I read are Naruto, Inuyasha, Claymore, and Veritas. Most of it is so fucking shitty.

Honestly if there was an anime out there which had a story I could actually take interest in, I'd probably watch it... but even if that was the case, I'd still have no idea what's so good about it that saying "I don't like it" brings down a rain of shit. There's defensive, which would be going for someone who actually, seriously insults it, and then there's overdefensive. I shouldn't have to put up with people arguing about it just because it doesn't appeal to me, and although I could probably understand a few people failing to pick up on the times when I'm just being a dick for shits and giggles, it seems even people who know me fairly well are acting like I insulted a dead relative or something.

Yeah, but point out one anime that has absolutely none of the typically Japanese themes and/or stuff that the Japanese would balk at but stupid white kid weeaboos go for. This is Halo, not some tale about Samurai warriors, giant mechas, or pre-teen girls.

It's just not the impression I've been getting from your posts. What you're saying now is all well and good... but what you've been saying is that it will be bad because it's an anime, and that's where we're taking issue.

I grew up watching cartoons, not anime, Therefore my idea of what it should be, was totally screwed with. Plus, even when mainstream anime was being shown on TV (dragonball z, pokemon) I was already getting bored of cartoons and started to watch other types of shows. Therefore I totally missed the anime boat. Also, FYI, UK gets TV shows years after US.

I also dont like having anime shoved down my throat, thats probably another reason I have come to hate it. I'm pretty much a mainstream guy, out of lazyness really. I'm not one of these guys that goes "ooh, check out this indie rock band they are so banging, I found out when they had like 12 fans!!", I hear whats on TV/radio/in clubs, thats pretty much it. I dont go searching for new things.

For instance, Naturo, no idea what style it is and to be perfectly honest, I dont give a fuck.

I'm a man now, I dont really have time for anime or cartoons, I do watch FG, Futurama and American Dad, but thats kinda different.

Ass Burgers.

Anime is fine.
