At this point I have to question if you even know what anime is.

Anime is Japanese animation made after WWII. That’s all that it is.

You forgot the “crappy” part, man. C’mon!

To be fair, “crappy anime” is redundant.

No, IT IS NOT.

CRAPPY CANNOT BE A PART OF THE DEFINITION OF A MEDIUM!

Yes. Like when you see anime you see crap and that is what you get when you watch it.

Stop demonizing an entire medium of art.

When it stops being utter shit, I’ll be happy to.

Saying that all anime films are utter shit is like saying that all computer animated films are utter shit.

Not really, I’ve seen some good CGI films.

I’m taking a principle stance here. An entire medium of art cannot be bad. Anime is a medium. Computer animated films is a medium. Therefore they cannot all be utter shit.

Anime is not good enough to be a medium.

Good point, but it helps the laypeople.

NO!

Your points are just FUNDAMENTALLY FLAWED AND WRONG.

Dude, just embrace it. You’ll be far happier.

Don’t fight it anymore. You’ve fought for too long, and it’s hurting you.

It’s hurting you. If you let go of this notion, you could be opened to new entertainment that might entertain you.

I’ve said before I went through an anime phase. I even listed dozens of titles I’d seen.

Then I grew up and realized they were all shit.

Honestly, I’m not sure I would call “anime” a medium. It’s just a specifier referring to animation from Japan. The medium is animation, whether that be traditional 2D animation, digital 2D animation, 3D animation, etc.

A better comparison would be just that it’s like calling all American animation terrible.

And these guys aren’t even just calling “anime” terrible; they are calling pretty much all Japanese entertainment media terrible, with the general exception for live-action film and music.

Either way, they’re just trolling every time this comes up, so I’m not sure why you’re still going at this.

You can if the medium is anime.

Oh, I’m sure they hate all sorts of Japanese media regardless of specifics, and they banner it under “anime”. I’m not saying their disdain for Japanese animation is just an act.

I just think they are smart enough to realize what you are saying, but use their hate for most Japanese animation to keep their minds closed on the matter and state it as fact that anime sucks, just because they haven’t seen any Japanese animation that they have enjoyed in adult life.

Animation is animation. I’m glad you consider animation childish and juvenile. That means you don’t enjoy animated films like Toy Story 2. Oh, what’s that now? It’s because it originated in Japan? That’s why you don’t like it? I believe that’s a hint of racism I’m picking up here.

Me being racist is a ludicrous accusation and any question related to that premise is not worth answering.
