Are you an anime lover?

[QUOTE=Grayman]Absolutely not. Anime has literally diseased animation in American cartoons.

No emotions; no inflections..

>>Actually, anime gets its portrayals of emotions from things like old Tom And Jerry cartoons, with their exagerated expressions and bulging eyes, they arent meant to look real!

>>>If you dont like it, dont watch...TT isnt Anime anyway, its anime-style

Close minded, aren't we?
Mikado

AH! We've now evolved to the "dissect their post" phase of the debate now! I knew I didn't have long to wait; and just when I thought this discussion was growing stagnant.

Close-minded because I'm not impressed with monotonous unoriginality, banal storylines, and one-dimensional animation? It's a matter of opinion Mikado. I believe offering a more indepth critique and expectancy of anime animation hardly indicates "close-mindedness", but actually demonstrates a higher appreciation for it's evolvement potential beyond it's present stagnant and flacid existance.

The intuitive aspect of this is what indulges the actual stimulation for entertainment potential of a veiwer watching an animated series as compared to not accepting what could be a much better product.

Insinuating "close-mindedness" of another seems to me to be an indicator that being easily satisfied is a prerequisite of acceptance for your entertainment needs.

I think on more expanded, broader terms I suppose. No offense intended of course. Take care, it was enjoyable debating with you.

[Mikado]

You call that a debate, shutting out any real knowledge of the subject? As for easilly satisfied, what makes you think you know anything about me? Man' you take sanctimoniousness to a higher level and frankly, you havent explained how youre on a higher plane of entertainment; in my opinion, a bunch of unbelieveably over-muscular human-like hybrids in spandex underwear pondering their existances isn't particularly intellectual. But, as I said in the other post, theres no point talking to someone whos obviously SO into himself, and believes to know all the answers in the universe. Go be free and let me be free of YOU !

Sorry if I haven't been by in a while, and I sincerely apologize for touching what appears to be such a sensitive subject for you Mikado. Though the content of your response is typical and was expected, let me point out that just because you don't agree with me, there's no need for suggesting what I do or do not understand about the topic being discussed.

And personal insults are so playground.

It's just a debate board, don't get so bent out of shape just because someone doesn't agree with you.


Peace.

Only when it comes to Matt in Digimon or Brock in Pokemon

Peace yourself, if you look back at the so-called "debate", YOU were the one who started with the insults , you totally refused to even consider ANYTHING we anime lovers had to say, frankly, I refuse to have anything more to do with you!
