I actually show a bit of anime to my students. When we are discussing force and motion, there are several scenes in Planetes that really demonstrate motion in free fall. These scenes are really great for illustrating how stuff actually moves when gravity and friction are not a factor.

8th grade science. Most of the kids still watch anime at that age, so they get it. The fun part is the fact that I am an Old Fart. When I make a reference to something modern, it freaks them out. One day one of my boys had his hair done rather wildly and as I walked past his desk I said "Really trying for that Goku look today, are we?" It surprised him just a bit when he realized I had that reference in my dusty old cranium.

cowboy bebop, akira, spirited away, howl's moving castle, princess mononoke, and samurai champloo are all good anime. oh and ghost in the shell, and the lesser known 1997 playstation one ghost in the shell game.

I was enjoying Attack on Titan until I realized that the series was devolving into a body-horror flesh-mecha show.

I think some anime is okay. Like, the good ones. Like Tenchi Muyo, or Dragon Ball Z; those are good. Do you agree or disagree? What are animes do you like or dislike?

Do you like the big boob woman anime or the small boob little girl pedo anime?

I don't think any cartoons are ok after about age 12, no matter how deep the "story". I'm right no matter how much the perv artist and writers are winking at you knowingly.

Nothing in Jurassic World is natural, we have always filled gaps in the genome with the DNA of other animals. And if the genetic code was pure, many of them would look quite different. But you didn't ask for reality, you asked for more teeth.
Death Note is the most entertaining TV show I've ever seen. But it's also really dumb.

You can't have a scale model of something that doesn't exist idiot. There's nothing to scale from.
