anime is gay and makes my eyes bleed.
You aren't gay and make my eyes bleed. Your point?
took you long enough to think up a reply to that :p
No, actually unlike you I dont visit the forums every second of the day waiting for someone to post. I check back, saw your post, and said a stupid remark back, since this seems to be all what happends on gp32x these days. If you cant beat 'em, join 'em.

ohh getting feisty are we?

I applied for a job, people are away/taking classes for college early, etc. What else can I do? I hang out with people who are around, and im on the internet when im bored. I can only jack off 2 times a day, and then my penis gets irritated. WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?????

And saying "I watch anime" is a fancy way of saying "I watch cartoons". it doesn't make you smarter, cooler, or anything otherwise.




Now if you'll excuse me, im off to watch some excellent programming on HBO.

nothing at all, but when you become obsessed with it (and im not referring to you, just some other people I've met ;) ), and base your life around it, and know the special catagories of anime such as high school crushes, robots, or whatever they are in the japanese language, its pretty damn sad.

Especially when those people are nearing the age when they're no longer minors ;)

I might be paranoid here, but I almost get the feeling you are referring to me. :p

Spending money and time on anime and manga? Knowing the subcatagories and genres?! Chatting and discussing it on forums??!!!
Wow, you are right, that IS pretty sad.

Hell, almost as sad as spending money and time on videogames and consoles, knowing all the subgenres (from fps to rpg) and chatting/discussing about it on forums. ("Join my amazing gaming forums. We are fairly new and need members, but we have some interesting discussions and debates" triggers anything?)

But naturally, you couldn't compare anime to gaming. Nah, nevermind the fact that they are both hobbies. (For the retards under us, Hobby = An activity or interest pursued outside one's regular occupation and engaged in primarily for pleasure.)
Cartoons ARE FOR KIDS! Can't compare them to videogames, as videogames are a lot more mature. Blood and violence automatically makes anything more adult... Wait, what? Mature plotlines?! Frag 'm.
(Nevermind the 18+ non-pornographic anime and manga, such as Elfen Lied, Battle Royale, Lament of the Lamb, ... You probably don't have a clue what I'm talking about)

You make a valid point though, watching and or buying anime is a lot more pathetic than reading some forums all day waiting till you can jack off again.

there really is no need to be nasty. I wasn't referring to you <_<

Yes, gaming and watching cartoons 24/7 IS different. You obvious take personal offense to what I said. Pretty sad.

You take care now draken. Im not posting back.

Edit: OH, If you actually visited my forum, you would see gaming is a catagory. I have friends on their, we talk about everything else as well. In fact, I set up my plans for today on my site ;). Let's not talk out of our asses now.

Yeah, I was just feeling paranoid, I probably haven't even said on these forums I watch anime and shite.

The fact that I got 'nasty' was because you are not the first person to say that. I hate people who make generalisations on subjects they don't know a fuck about.

I give it to you though, watching cartoons 24/7 is pretty sad, but so playing videogames 24/7. Hell, anything you do on a 24/7 basis is pretty sad. I think gaming and watching anime is very comparable, please elaborate why not.

So, I'm pretty sad for replying to your post with a defensive post, eh? This is so retarded I just can't find the right wording for this...

Man, I was hoping to get a good flaming discussion out of this, but to no avail... I'm almost starting to miss the fighting against Gogeta on the emuboards forum...

I agree, but only 2% or so of the world's population plays video games 24/7.

Think of it this way, and please try to be objective: If anime didnt have a fancy name, and it was just called 'cartoons', would people list interests as 'watching cartoons'? I think not.

Anime is the japanese term for cartoons and is short for animation. It points towards cartoons made by japanese hands and are different than western cartoons, that's why people use the term Anime.
Same for manga, which is japanese for comic.

The thing is, in Japan stuff like cartoons are still a pretty big medium too. Western cartoons are by basics almost always for children, while in Japan there's stuff for every age and sex.
Same with things like for example radioshows. Since the age of television this has died and there aren't any big productions anymore, but they're still quite big in Japan.

Qua comics we're on par, we have some pretty cool and mature underground comics too if you're into that stuff. (just think of Sin City or Heavy Metal)

It's just that, while anime are basically cartoons, they are not, like western cartoons, solely based towards small children. :eek:
