Why Anime Sucks: All anime about one of several things. S-ex, Robots, Telepathic abilities, Monsters, or a mix of the aforementioned. It does not address real world issues, but rather flirts around them. Anime is considered popular for only 2 reasons. 1) People watch it to escape their own pitiful harsh existence. 2) They watch it because they can empathize with these non-existent characters and think that if they watch the shows, someday a similar situation may arise in their life where they can do what they saw in their stupidly pathetic anime cartoon. Now, let’s talk about the type of people who watch anime. Anime watchers (Known as "Anime Freaks" to the rest of the world) are typically socially retarded individuals who can't or don't wish to understand the mainstream crowd, so they decide to alienate themselves by hanging out with other people who are EXACTLY like they are. Your typical anime freak will think they are "Unique". They take pride in their so called "individuality". They think that being the way they are is cool, because NOBODY else is like them. But there in lies one of life’s GREATEST ironies, because all anime freaks are ALIKE. They talk the same talk, they like the same shows, they act the same arrogant way, they even DANCE alike. Yes, EVERY anime freak out there thinks they are the -blam!- for being "unique". They even consider it an INSULT if you call them normal, yet the monotonous fools are to stuck up to realize that they are ALL ALIKE. But of course, when you point that out, they change the topic, try to insult you, or cry. Able to easily dish out why mainstream society sucks, but not able to admit the shortcomings of their very own "infallible" world. Anime freaks are so caught up trying to everything they aren't, that they are a waste of resources. They drag the importance of their natural culture as well. A typical remark to be heard is "We should all speak Japanese" or "I'm moving to Japan when I'm older". Of course, while they try so hard to pointlessly prove that Asian culture is more important and better then the culture they were born into, they seemingly forget that if it wasn't for the culture they are trying to rid themselves of, they wouldn't have the OPTION of choosing how they live. For the most part, anime freaks are ungrateful, self-absorbed, resource wasting sacks of flesh that should be put right where they belong, in North Korea, where they can live in their epitome of the lifestyle they want to have so badly. That is why Anime sucks. [i]Originally Posted by Briggs at the Junkyard Forums[/i] Hell yeah, dude.
