How do people not know this?

There are two kinds of people: people who like anime and morons.

You can also be part of both categories at the same time, as illustrated by your account here.

Now you, Dominic? 😭

Dom generally always sides with Frink, on really anything as far as my memory goes.

And another one joins the Jetrell Fo in the Frink uprising.

I’m not on the Fo wagon. I’m not saying Dom is a miniFrink or that he is copying his opinions from Frink. I’m just saying that as far as my memory serves, he usually agrees with Frink on whatever the subject may be.

That just makes him smart.

I usually agree with you, but this comment is just way too egotistical for my tastes.

Huh, typical stalling response so you don’t have to tackle the actual question.

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

He did not say that you were racist, he only said that actions that you might have taken, are taking, and will take, may be actions that can related to or fueled by an amount of racism, which is very different saying that you are a racist.

Pretty much, yeah. I’m pointing out that the “adults” on this forum saying that specifically Japanese animation/media is shit just because it’s Japanese animation/media, and an equivalent from any other country of origin would be fine, shows some undertones of racism. I’m not accusing anyone of actually being racist against Japanese people. I merely think that the thought that Japanese people are incapable of creating quality entertainment media shows a hint of racism in such actions.

Except we’re saying none of the things you’re accusing us of saying.

Then tell me. Why is it that you have no apparent problem with animation media from anywhere but Japan? You seem to think that all Japanese animation media sucks, which implies that you don’t think Japanese people/studios are capable of creating quality animation media.

I’ve never seen Bulgarian animation so I can’t comment on it.

I’ve seen every anime and none of it is good.

The fact that anime comes from Japan is irrelevant to my argument.

Ditto.

Japan is a neat country I’m sure. I like samurai films a lot. Lots of cool history and interesting customs there.

Just their animation is shit. I’ve seen lots of it, so I’d know.

You can’t say a statement like that. A broad statement on the quality of a broad medium is not possible without being ridiculous and dishonest.

Yeah, my favorite part was when Vader asked if Padme was ok, Palps said Vader killed her, and Vader said Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!

That was really good stuff and it’s obvious JJ copied it.

Leaked excerpt from Ep VIII script:

REY: I'm here about the Jedi training course, is enrollment still open?

LUKE thinks back on the failures of the past, of BEN becoming KYLO under his watch. Terrified by the possibility of having another student, he screams.

LUKE: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

  ENROLLMENT WAS IN MAY ONLY!

It’s like the Russian Revolution but with Frink.

Add a ton of asterisk to what I just said to just be safe.

No, you haven’t. Stop making this ridiculous claim as it only makes your ridiculous argument even more ridiculous and terrible.

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.

You can’t call an entire medium shit. You just can’t.

You can if the medium is anime.

No. Things don’t work that way.

No, IT IS NOT.

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

The space battle at the end does feel like old school Star Wars though.

You mean the part where the 5 year old takes out an entire armada of ships with his nifty spinning trick? It’s a juvenile film that would be tolerable as a juvenile film without Jar Jar and the Gungans. Those guys just make it entirely unwatchable.

Gonna have to agree with you here. The lightsaber battle was the best thing of this part—it is pretty nifty.

And even that is shit

I disagree.

Watch the video. Not only is the “fight” more like a dance but the choreography doesn’t make any sense. Say what you will about the OT duels but at least the choreography in ESB and ROTJ were actually reminiscent of people fighting. And that goes doubly for TFA.

I still like it, so I reiterate:

I disagree.

TV’s Frink said:

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.

Is shitty art still art?

If so, then anime is art.

An entire medium of art cannot be definitionally shitty.

See previous post.

Anime DOES NOT dictate what YOU think the medium dictates.

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.

MEDIUMS ARE NOT DEFINED BY QUALITY!
