I fucking hate anime.

Your roommate sounds like he watches the shit made for little girls. This is better:

Cowboy Bebop

Samurai Champloo

Hajime No Ippo

And this character is just a badass:

The first series is about a pack of bounty hunters that never seem to have money or food and the shit they go through to try and catch bounties. The second one is about two guys that want to kill each other getting suckered into helping this girl from a teahouse basically find her dad. And the last one is about a bullied kid from high school picking up boxing and making it to the world stage.

Like I said, your room-mate sounds like he watches the shit made for little girls.
 
Bleach though (the series the last two vids are from) is so.... God, it had a decent story at the beginning that it totally 100% jumped the shark.

This series isn't too bad if you don't mind crazy outrageous powers and shit:

 
I know people that are still into zombies, Superman, and Batman in their 40s and I'm like holy shit, grow the fuck up.

See how stupid that sounds?
 
Would you like to be room mates? I'm 36 and a member of Nambla but to avoid incarceration i satisfy my urges for little boys by having sex with yellow and black labs. I watch mostly gay porn and recorded high school baseball games, but never any anime!!
 
This guy is a legit roommate man, I would go for it.

He even has these awesome black and yellow fur coats too!
 
My current one might but I've lived with guys who basically gave me the same argument as you just did.

I don't see how that is in anyway badass unless you are a 10 year old boy. Shitty music and cartoon characters fighting =/= badass. There is no such thing as cool anime. Also I have seen some of the avatar episodes. Apparently it's not actually anime. It's also a kids show but at least I could sit in the same room when it was playing.
 
wtf I read the title as "I fucking hate aimee"

was really looking forward to a bigass catfight between OP and stillakilla :/
 
Holy fuck, this. My little brother is a fucking addict. He's generally chill, fun to be around, and pretty decent at skiing for a seventh grader, but whenever he starts watching anime about like high school girls or something I just have to resist the urge to smack him upside the head and ask him what the fuck is wrong with him. It's just the most annoying shit ever.
 
does no one actively apply the "different strokes for different folks" mentality to their daily lives? Everytime someone is bitching to me about something they dont like that a random person does I just say it and they usually shut up.

anything that seems inherently like one of the best parts of your life could be someone else's worst nightmare.

let people do what they want, and shut the fuck up
 
Anime is visual poetry. Like poetry, there is a lot of crap out there. But, anime is not about a plot, its about emotional change over time. Its really subtle, but there is a lot of beauty and work that goes into anime. Think of it as superhero comics, but with more detail on expression and less focus on the action. I do agree on the translations, they couldnt suck more.

Believe it or not, The Matrix was based on a Japanese anime style. Notice how the camera pans to show the speaker and the other guy. Notice how eyes were more focused and longer scene were used to show expression.
 
anime is a pretty big group to generalize. there is a lot that is very cringe worthy, but some that are very serious and elegantly done. i can't stand some, but there are several that i really enjoy. miyazaki's films are all wonderful. i saw akira for the first time when i was high and it was some mind blowing shit. it really opened me up to more anime. i used to think anime was shit, now some of my favorite shows are anime

Anime is queer as fuck. I believe people only watch that shit to feel better about their microscopic dicks.
 
You just made everyone that read that lose brain cells.

In my opinion, anime is way more intricate and a lot more intellectually stimulating than what shows you can find on American television. First off, do not base the whole genre of "anime" off shitty pop songs and hentai. I would prefer, if I watch TV at all, to sit down and watch a composition that has a good storyline and a unique art style, as opposed to the humor on most American shows that have the intellectual capacity to make a seven year old laugh.

Fuck Family Guy, that kind of American humor is embarrassing.

Samurai Champloo can kick the shit out of any other American show, short of Arrested Development, but surprise, it wasn't dumb and simple enough for the mass American population, so it got canceled.

There is a reason why Japan is statistically "smarter" than the U.S., and that is probably also why anime comes from Japan and Family Guy comes from America.
 
After watching all of the "badass" anime scenes that are meant to show that anime CAN be decent, I just hate it even more. Fail.

Shit's garbage
 
You essentially initialized this post by telling others not to make generalizations. The rest of your post is a generalization.
 
Im guessing you didnt have many brain cells in the first place, the fourth season of Arrested Development comes out in may, dumbass.
 
but without anime, we would not have sexy comic-con babes

you can tell by the orgasm of this second girl^
 
miyazaki is the fuckin man, full metal alchemist is rad, afro samurai has wu tang so you have to love it, narutu is ninjas and everyone loves ninjas
 
god i hate it so much. throughout middle school and highschool all the weird kids talked about it and drew the pictures and it would fill me with rage.
 
honestly, i think nostalgia plays a big part into why some people are so into anime, its something they grow up watching. but what keeps them watching anime as adults are the complex and well written story-lines many of the shows and films have. i wouldn't pass anime off as shit until you actually watch an entire film, or at least part of a tv series.
 
Even though I'm inclined to agree, Miyazaki has made some of the most literally awesome films I have ever seen, which just happen to be anime.
 
In America anime is like a hidden treasure trove of cultural reference. A lot of it is referenced and even ripped off completely by American musicians and directors because they can get away with it. It's like a big secret that everyone who isnt prejudiced about it gets to cash in on (Quentin Tarentino, Kanye West, Etc.)
 
The culture around anime is really fucking weird.

But when i was like 10 I watched Spirited Away, dont remember the plot too well but i remember it was an amazing movie. It was the only anime ive seen but it was sick, I dunno different strokes for different folks
 
I'll hate on anime til the cows come home but as has already been said multiply times, nobody fucks with the last airbender or anything by Miyazaki. Especially Totoro.
 
Actually, The Last Airbender was mad an America, therefore it's not even anime.

Whoever has said they hate anime has obviously never watched a full season of one.

Their story lines are fucking amazing compared to shitty US programs.
 
Props to you, man. I don't like anime either, and I'm constantly surrounded by people always with their manga or watching anime or talking about the latest episode of My Little Pony.

Just kidding, generally bronies have a set of mannerisms and personality traits that kind of bother me.
