SHIT ON post
"You shit on the post. Why."
a lesser known fact is that the word anime is japanese and it's (rough) translation is "a thinly veiled homage to pedophilia"

The appeal of anime is that as a storytelling medium it's comparatively low budget and easier to make particularly with respect to stuff like supernatural plots and characters. If you think about it the vast majority of live action stuff on TV is just reality, sitcoms, dramas, police action, etc because those are cheap to make. Anime lets you branch out more readily into stuff that would otherwise require a huge cg budget.

It gets a bad wrap because a lot of it is made for children so people associate it with juvenile interests, and because it honestly does cater to spergy shutins. The over the top facial expressions complete with visual gags like heart eyes or sweatdrops or whatever is easy for borderline autistic people to pick up and so those people are attracted to it over live action and they make up the majority of the fanbase so they're the ones the creators cater to.

There is nothing inherent about anime as a medium that prevents it from having a more adult focused story (and there are plenty examples of this like Monster) but there's just not much money in doing that so these kinds of series are few and far between.

Anime used to be good, emotional and had a positive message. However, anime today is a poo poo and 99% of it is about some high schoolers fighting monsters in skimpy bikini.

Tujague can't see children in any context besides sexual and it's probably just a ruse to get you to look through this thread so he can crudely "prove" a "point" about anime fans being degenerates or whatever.

Animees avatar mod: I checked, and all the animees avatars are over 18, especially the sexy ones prove me wrong plus I totally meant I was going to ban them for any hint of casual pedophilia

You're right, animees avatar mod. Case closed I'll drop all charges before they reach the grand jury no harm no foul

Some anime is really good, a lot of anime is really bad, and all of it has campy, annoying tropes. But the best anime is good enough to be worth putting up with the campyness. And anyone who still thinks otherwise in tyool 2014 is an unfunny retard stuck in 1999.

As for the anime in gbs it's about as overused and unfunny as imgay and cuck. Good things come in moderation.

Maybe a little, but if we're really going to sort out who's being disingenuous around here, wouldn't we need to check certain people's hard drives for well-worn videos of cartoon eight-year-olds getting sexually penetrated by tentacles? I mean, that's what we're really talking about, right?

Why is it that the goons most outspoken against anime are always the gooniest goons themselves? "What you said you'll ban the guy who has pedophilia in his AV? Well actually I was just completely making it up and will now get weirdly defensive about it"

It's like they're just desperate for someone, anyone, to look down on, but even if you slap stilts on a corgi it doesn't make for much of a high horse.

Animes are organic compounds and functional groups that contain a basic nitrogen atom with a lone pair. Animes are derivatives of ammonia, wherein one or more hydrogen atoms have been replaced by a substituent such as an alkyl or aryl group. (These may respectively be called alkylanimes and arylanimes; animes in which both types of substituent are attached to one nitrogen atom may be called alkylarylanimes.)
