all or nothing love for anime
ok here are the facts. i'm 23 and i watch anime. it's not something i'de go screaming down the streets but hey i do what i like.
the thing is i only like SOME anime. other people tend to act like anime is some kind of sophisticated art which its not. anime is a cartoon directed at young adult to children audiences. it doesn't matter if it has blood and gore and sexual references it's still meant primarily for teenagers. thats not a bad thing But..
most anime i found to be crap. even the ones directed towards older teens is just trying too hard to be complex and adult like, which fools kiddies into thinking its actually meant for adults but anyway. sometimes i find the ones for less "mature" audiences and more simple storylines to be far more interesting. like i prefer naruto over basilisk and ninja scroll, though ninja scroll has some good moments. i like my neighbor totoro over hellsing.
the anime i have found liking to is rare and inbetween. the ones i have found to like i LOVE...but everything else seems to fall way short. its like all or nothing.
the ones i like i can count on my fingers.
movies:
princess mononoke
my neighbor totoro
spirited away
grave of the fireflies
castle in the sky
ghost in the shell
series:
naruto:without the fillers
blood+
berserk
ok the bottom line is i want to know who's on the same page as me. to say you can still be an anime lover and hate stuff like chobits and female super heroins that wear skirts up to there"you know what" giving the impression that japanese are perverts. i like anime's quirky humor but anime plotlines that involve some dude and a girl female robot that has a button up her ass to turn her on. CMON!!! i mean how can i still walk down the street with pride after watching that crap.
does anyone at all get my drift or am i alone here? if you all think i'm crazy and mentally disturbed don't bother replying. if you feel you can connect do tell me what you think and anime movies or series that you found to like.
