i asked a girlfriend of mine once, "so if you walked into my apt. and saw an anime wallscroll, would you have stayed?" and the answer was not good.

I'll bet; though some anime posters would probably give a worse impression than others...

I don't know why you want anything like that at your age though, regardless. I think it also depends on what kind of person she was, and the anime you choose to associate yourself with.

well, we were in Akiba (I was looking for a lens) and we were in store that had a stash of wallscrolls on display. my anime days are over, but there were moments when i'd see something (like a ghost in the shell diorama) that definitely put ideas in my head.

I assume that the dreaded answer was “yes”?
:thinking2:

Never met one single woman that shared my passion for anime. But since I am an anger shaman, larger than life and twice as ugly, they shared a passion for me, and that absolved them from their shortcomings. :smug:

I really hate all those anime type cartoons, it just seems so lazy on the part of the animator as the drawing is pants.

I don't quite understand why everyone's so down on anime. There's been some great stuff-Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Beebop, etc.

People (read: Westerners) see them as cartoons rather than actual animation for adults. The fact that we have Pokemon and Digimon and Hamtaro as our kiddy shows doesnt help the fact.

Yeap! Spent most of the pregnancy period watching Japanese cartoon: Doraemon and Miyazaki's work(re-watched lots of them, including Princess Mononoko, Laputa, Spirit Away etc~). Planning to let Babywaio to watch those cartoons DVD rather than the kids programs on TV filled with rubbish commercials.

Sounds like a plan!

Anything's better than those 'trendy' American TV-Animes, sad thing is that when I was but a wee Kronzprinz I used to watch some of it, ended when I was about 8. Thank God.

What was that link supposed to be all about? All I saw was a bunch of Japanese characters and a few pictures or links to pictures or something.
