You an Anime fan?.....then check out
Because who likes simple? lol
Sort of down the lines of, let the show EARN it's popularity to drive the marketing, compared to the marketing MAKES a show popular.
It's not about the Anime TITLES.... it's about the MINDSET.
"Old Guard" just watch the show, if you like it then good, if you don't like the show..... try another title.
"New Wave" just watch the show that I say you MUST WATCH AND ENJOY, no matter what YOUR tastes are.
That's the problem with people today, it's their MINDSET that's wrong because it doesn't put into account YOUR tastes. Go back, carefully re-read the entire blog. Did I once SAY "You MUST watch this Anime Title, and you MUST like it, because I say you MUST" ?
No I did not, I mentioned the titles I liked over the years, because I liked them. If you don't like them, then so be it. It's MY tastes (art, story, character, plot etc,etc,etc) that dictates what I want to watch, NOT what you TELL ME.
Then there are some people that are basically saying that you must watch this title AND you must like it. Without regards to what YOU want to get out of if, or what YOUR tastes are.
It's that second group of people that I'm both upset about, and worried for. They come across as "Strong-arm" people that if you don't like their show's artwork, or their show's characters, or their show's storyline.... then the problem is that YOU don't have any tastes at all. It's almost like saying that you don't like what THEY watch automatically puts you into a position of having to defend yourself BECAUSE you don't like the show.
I've said this before to other people, and I'll say it again. I don't mind that you like Dragonball (for ANY REASON)... just DO NOT expect me to like it as much as you do.
And if I happen to dislike your shows, that doesn't mean I don't like the whole Anime material available, I just don't like that SINGLE title. Just like MY shows are enjoyed by ME, that doesn't mean that YOU have to like them either. I want us to both just be able to agree that we've both ENJOY anime, that we just have different tastes in the shows that we DO like. Some of those tastes will include the same titles (Trinity Blood and Slayers for example), but not every single title out there.
That's where the difference between "Old Guard" and "New Wave" is really at. It's the "New Wave" people, that have the mindset that you've given up YOUR tastes in Anime titles for THEIR tastes in Anime titles.
I love my culture, in fact, the Japanese love our culture too...
As pointed out with their fan craze over our bollywood superstar - "Rajnikanth"
And, for that I love the Japanese...
Here is all the evidence behind the fact that the Japanese love my culture as much as I love my culture:

Don't tell me that next time a new manga and anime come out with an indian theme that its a japanese thing, because thats just ludicrous.
Moreover, I don't see how calling my arguments weak is helping your arguments either.
Fact of the matter is... having contradictory feelings... is contradictory feelings. How can you be repulsed and attracted at the same time?
"That's not saying "they want Caucasian features", which is insulting and laughable as an argument."
Now who has the weak arguments? You don't explain anything here... you're just trying to shove a pointless argument about feeling repulsed and attracted at the same time.... who or what feels like that? Give me one good example of feeling repulsed and attracted at the same time? And, don't point to female feelings... cause thats just weak.
If you are drawing japanese characters with caucasian features and calling those characters purely japanese... thats just delusional.
Saying that manga characters, just cause they are made by japanese people are all japanese is also delusional. Thats like saying Snake eyes and Storm Shadow from G.I. Joe are caucasian just cause their creators are caucasian.
BTW, Snake eyes and Storm Shadow are japanese in G.I. Joe - they are not caucasian.
"every nation and society has influenced each other ever since the world was in existence. Native Americans introduced maize to the Europeans, for example."
EXACTLY MY POINT! Hello!
Matt Thorn says that caucasian's never dominated Japanese society.... hence he is trying to point out that there is NO influence from the caucasian side.
"Unfounded and poor as an argument, as other cultures have the same thing. The funny thing is, the Japanese have their own NAMES for these concepts, such as MANGA, which is their version of comics, ANIME, which is essentially Japanese animation or "cartoons"."
The argument isn't about other cultures... its about japanese manga and japanese animation. Unfounded and poor? How so? If its unfounded... then you are practically saying that animation and comic books were a japanese invention.
Just cause you give it a new name like "anime" and "manga" does not mean its your own invention.
