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...

Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
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.

Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
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.

Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
I assume that the dreaded answer was “yes”?
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.

Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
I really hate all those anime type cartoons, it just seems so lazy on the part of the animator as the drawing is pants.
Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
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.

Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
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.
Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
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.Wasabi watches more anime then I do.

Re: [link] Akibahara, Japan
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.
DA
