You probably just don't watch the right animes. And if you base the animes you watch after what is discussed in /a/, you should promptly kill youself.

Deathnote is soso. I enjoyed the manga more.

I watch and enjoy most animes, Yet I hate death note, I dont know if it's the fanbase or what, But ugh...

I've never watched or read Death Note and yet I'm...sort of a fan of it.

Never been to /a/.

Pretty much the only shows I like are FLCL and this. I used to be super obsessed with DBZ for about 7 years, then realized it was retarded and grew the fuck up.

I do get into watching some animes before they become huge things in the U.S. I think the subtitles are worth it to know that there's great anime out there without a shitload of 12 year-old wapanese faggots ruining it. I don't mind cosplay too much, so long as it's good, but god fucking damn. The younger portion of americans pretty much know how to ruin everything, don't they?

Oh wow. I was watching this when a blackout happened, around the time the sister was getting sick and the war was over and there was no food left. I took that as a sign and haven't watched it since.

Most likely this. Death Note, for as good of a show it is, has the most awfully fucktarded and annoying fanbase of any series I've ever seen. Including Naruto.

It's a good series. Just enjoy it in the peace and isolation of your living room/basement/bedroom and never speak of it in public areas and you'll be fine.

Holy fucking tapdancing Christ yes.

I went to otakukon (or whatever anime con it was, I went there for something buisness related.) and I must have seen about 15 pairs of Ls and Raitos chained together and about 5 fucking shinigamis.

Only one of the cosplays actually looked good, and one of them were making out, L and the Shinigami, what was his name, Ryuuk.

I hate it when you're watching a weird/creepy show/anime and a blackout happens. Not afriad of the dark, but when it happens, I don't say anything or even move until someone else does or I have to move.

Does anybody else do this?

I'm surprised. You're pretty much a mainstream fucktard just like the rest of /a/ is.Yet you hate your own kind. Oh well, not my problem. Hypocrite

>>188586
This is why everyone hates the fanbase. Seriously how can you call yourself a fan if you never even seen or read it? No point talking to a retard I guess.

>>188642
Bullshit, I consider myself an 'otaku' cept I don't hang around other anime fans because they just piss me off with their elitest bullshit; but even I haven't gone to a fucking convention. Mainly for the reason I've stated. You're a fucking anime lover. Stop kidding yourself, hypocrite-chan.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the real history of all anime and people who like it. The people who don't grow up and quit liking anime become those 40 year old 300 pound neckbeards who still live with their parents because they spend all their money on dumb anime figurines and stupid shit like that. I knew anime was stupid the second I heard people were spending hundreds of dollars on animation cels. And it was animation cels from really dumb cartoons too (not that there's any justification for it anyway).

And by the way, Grave of the Fireflies wasn't that good either, most people say it's great only because it's anime and about Japan.

I DONT LIKE THINGS BECAUSE THEY ARE POPULAR
>> SleepSick
>>188666

Nah, not just because they are popular, but popular with the wrong crowd. I can't watch Naruto because all i can think of are those "LOL SASUKE CHAN SO HAWT LOLOLO^_^ I HAET THAT BAKAFATBITCH SAKURA D|<" faggots.

Also 666 get..

People only say "you hate it just because it's popular" when they know they're called out for liking something stupid.

Uh, I don't know about that. First I saw Grave was back in 89, when all we knew about anime was that it's Chinese cartoon pornography, and I still think it's one of the best (anti) war films I have ever seen. Being more of a document than a story, I don't think it should be this easy for people to pass judgment on GotF. You can either like it, hate it, be indifferent to it, but good or bad, Grave of the Fireflies just... is.

Wow, I remember how back in the days people didn't know Japanese manufactured cartoons weren't really cartoons at all and instead had their own term and category, something someone would kill for. Oh my...

The "story" is just more victimization propaganda, as are most "anti war" Japanese cartoons (yes, CARTOONS), which were not really anti war as much as they were anti war against Japan who happened to deserve it, and was so brainwashed and delusional at that point in history that it threatened to take the extermination of their entire country to get them to stop.

>>188676I didn't watch Grave of the Fireflies but I heard something about it from a friend so I'll just talk out of my ass for a while, pretending to know what I'm talking about.

Fixed.

I don't know about other "anti-war against Japan propaganda" films, but I do know Grave of the Fireflies isn't one of those. Tell me, what part of the film made you realize that?

Replace the original dub with whatever other language and slap a few, I dunno, French or Polish, perhaps even Vietnamese flags over couple of frames and you wouldn't know the story is taking place in Japan.

You would, I'm sure, but you get the point. GotF is a story about war and suffering it brings.
If you're an American I can see why it must be difficult for you to fully understand this film and appreciate it simply for what it is, since we didn't have any recent wars taking place on your soil nor can we comprehend the concept of civilian war casualties any longer.[/trolling]
Yes, Japanese government may have been brainwashed and delusional at that point in history and the atrocities they have committed are unforgivable and unforgettable.
Those two kids weren't, along with thousands of others who didn't even know who were they in war with, or why.

Also, you think GotF is "anti war Japanese victimization propaganda", what the fuck is 'Letters from Iwo Jima', then?

I've only ever seen small amounts of it and read about it, but I do find what I've seen very appealing, and find the characters interesting.

If that makes me a retard, so be it.

And I didn't say I was a fan, I only said "sort of", faggot. I'd by no means call myself a real fan or part of the fanbase; I just like the sound of it.

Are all anime fans such babies that they can't handle any criticism of anime without pissing their pants and weeping? I mean really, it's not THAT good to justify the overreaction that apparently every single anime fan has to it.
>> Anonymous
Responding to apparently enraged and hostile-for-no-fucking-reason anti-anime people does not equal overreaction.

But I'm rather indifferent to whether or not anime is good or whatever. I like some anime, but mostly just Dragonball and Pokemon (yeah flame the shit out of me I don't really care). I prefer western cartoons.

But if you really hate anime so much, why go to a site that is filled in anime images and discussion, is founded on an interest in anime, and is filled with anime fans (not to mention visiting a board where half the people who draw draw anime)? Oh wait, for teh trollans.
