- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.

Anime is lame. Japanese media in general is childish, creepy, and not deserving of the artistic praise it gets.
That is like saying food is disgusting.
No, it's like saying Japanese food is disgusting.
I had to put my sword away after remembering that we're just posting opinions.
If I can add my own, then it's "anime powerscaler" and their BS statement of how their favorite characters is better than anything else
I mean, even though it has a wider audience it is still mostly targeted at kids/teens. I do agree though that it is a bit overrated (and surprising homogenous).
As for the creepy part, yeah can't argue with you on that. I think it's gotten a bit better over the years, but it's still hard recommending shows sometimes.
The whole "I'm a 125 year old spirit in the body of a 10 year old." thing is creepy. Adults dressing like school children and sexualized. I'm not saying other cultures are perfect either.
Here we goes . . . L*li stuff
