Anime kinda sucks
Yessir, that's anime style. It is not based off manga, no it is not. It is based off anime. Specifically, very cheap anime. Read on and you'll see what I mean. Rather than drawing a nose and chin, characters have a snout. Now, fair's fair, even cheap anime isn't quite as bad as that, but that's roughly how it goes. Cheap anime has its side views as a pointy nose running down into a chin, with the mouth stuck somewhere in the cheek. This is so the mouth can flap about all it wants without having to animate anything else. Like I said, cheap. But there is absolutely no reason to do this in a comic, where you do not have to draw things so the inbetweeners can animate more easily. This kid is pretty much one of the worst artists around. In fact, just calling him an artist is pretty insulting. Especially since he hasn't improved since he started.
I bring this to your attention because he is not a lone bad seed, he is apart of a trend that I have been living through the majority of my life. I was fortunate enough to be the last generation to not have “anime” completely force feed down their throat. I was old enough to realize that Pokemon was fucking awful, I grew out of dragonball z around the time it became completely unwatchable, and…I completely missed naurto and bleach FUCK YEAH! But I see these kids…Hell even some of my own dear friends are plagued with the love of this inferior medium. The “shows”are designed to have a stranglehold on the mind of the stupid or easly amused, It uses flashy colors, slow pacing, and violence. Every time I ask one of my friends why they watch one of these “shows” (I almost pains me to call them that—so I won’t ) , I mean these 26 minute abortions, they always give me the same response “ I started watching/reading it years ago now I can’t stop”.
But what is the big fucking deal bitch?! ,You may ask. I will tell you what my problem is with this horrible horrible “artform” (I almost pains me to call it that—so I won’t ), I mean this abortionform. It is one of those things that is popular and horrible, but unlike most things that are popular and horrible it doesn’t have its naysayers. You remember boybands don’t you, well everyone knew that this music was just a bunch of skinny metrosexuals lip singing their way to the bank…I had no problem with that because no one really considered it high art. Reality tv,, we all know it is cheaply made fluff where they take a bunch of future pornstars and film them doing hum drum activities…I had no problem with that because no one really considered it great tv. You remember Akira don’t you, some shitty movie that completely butchered the manga it was based off and is only really remember because it had a cool motorcycle race and no fucking ending… I have a problem with this because it is viewed as some GREAT FUCKING MASTER WORK and it sucked ass. The majority of Akira is grunting, shouting, panting, growling, screaming, and Kaneda playing name tag with Tetsuo. You might make a drinking game out of it, such as taking a shot whenever someone shouts "Tetsuo" or "Kaneda," but I think you'd die of alcohol poisoning. It doesn’t even make any fucking sense. The army goes to pieces faster than the Redskin’s defense ( OH SNAP , YEAH I SAID IT!), but luckily Kenada's around to save the day. Where the entire armed forces of Japan fail, Kaneda manages to duel Tetsuo to stalemate twice and escape with his life…It must be the motorcycle.
Maybe Akira was a bad example let us explore the gateway anime for the majority of the population…SAILOR MOON!The plot goes something like this -- some classic blue eyed, blonde ditz is zapped so all of a sudden she has the power to transform her clothes into a super-tight leotard and the shortest skirt ever seen on a fourteen year old by simply waving a phallic symbol around. She is aided by a bunch of other whiny fourteen year olds, dressed in equally inappropriate attire. There are 200 episodes, and in 199 of them, a completely different monster comes out to attack them. This is followed by the monster kicking her around, until a guy in a tuxedo and mask shows up. Would you like to guess what his name is? Tuxedo Mask -- oh, the creativity of the writers! He pauses the action and speaks some lame line like, "Don't worry Sailor Moon! You are cool so if you just believe, it will be ok!" Then he leaves, and Sailor Moon whips out her wand and zaps the monster with a light, causing it to disintegrate. Why exactly she can't do this at the beginning of the fights before everyone is beatup is left unclear. It teaches our kids that homosexuality and incest is acceptable. The sad thing is...THIS SHIT IS ONE OF THEIR BETTER CARTOONS!
Also it is just insultingly stupid, hell it is just childish. But it is childish in that way that a stupid person can make the claim that it is adult. Anime can be broken up into several main categories. We have the pedophilic magical girl anime, where some underaged little girl will wave a stick and turn half-naked for your viewing pleasure, we have the whole giant-robot thing, where small penised individuals jump in monolithic versions of themselves, we have the violent shows with ludicrous amounts of firearms for absolutely no good reason except that guns are somehow supposed to be cool, We have the fan service shows ,cause nothing says funny like poorly animated tits and we have the inane comedies where seeing people punched into orbit (or whatever cheap gag they like) every episode is fresh and creative "OH NO YOU OPEN THE BATHROOM DOOR WHILE I WAS STILL INSIDE *punch*" . 1/3 of anime can be broken down into a collection of size double D tits, speed lines, and explosions. Now this may make something rated R but it doesn't make it adult. It is completely juvenile. There is no originality in anime, everything has already been done by the west. example lodoss war = lord of the rings multiplied by gay and horrible art. Just the "GrimDark' nature of the non silly “26 minute abortions” confuses people into thinking they are watching something that wasn't designed for 13 year olds with boners and short attention spans.
what exactly is going on with these plus marks here? It is not a cartoony representation of an actual physiological response (such as the sweat mark), nor is it a translatable punctuation mark, unless she is thinking, "Shit, Algebra sucks!" Is it supposed to represent that she is horny? Having her period? Voted for Obama? To make things worse, anime fans feel the need to replicate these stupid expressions. Since they do not usually go outside, this is online where I have to be bombarded by their O.o ^.^ ^^; and so on. Views: 34

I did grow up in the generation that fell in love with Pokémon, had there brain cells dissolved by dragon ball Z and couldn’t escape the corn on a stick that is Naruto/Bleach. All the while i stood there perplexed by the entire phenomenon. Trust me you haven’t seen how bad things can get until you have been forced into the fetal position by gems like Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo (i swear i am not making that up). To this day I get beat over the head by incessant dribble of japanophiles, otaku, or whoever else thinks everything that Japan shit out is liquid gold every waking moment of my life so i really want to agree with you. BUT you seem to have a very limited view of anime. You have to consider that in America animation is still predominately considered for children only so the anime that gains popularity over here is most likely gonna be the stuff that lends its self well to children (whether logically or not). The good stuff has gone leaps and bound as far as artistic ability is concerned. And the fact that Japanese animation is not limited to a comedic format means alot of anime has some real depth and layers to it.
Also watching sailor moon with Japanese subtitles so deliciously falls into the “its so bad its good category” that I now way more receptive to anime no matter how terrible it seems. Strangely inappropriate relationship between grown man and teenage girl, sexually ambiguous villains (many of whom dress like sexual deviants), completely illogical comprehension of plants/moon, AND homosexuality! I'm sold!!

Akira does suck. For me it's great until the ending, which decides to just say "Screw a coherent story, we'll have shit blow up!".
It's just that when you say Anime sucks, it's hard to agree with you went at least .9% does not. However small amount it is, there is a percentage of really great Anime out there.

I never said American animation does suck, I wouldn't dare imply that. I am not saying most things don't suck because most things do. I personally feel the ratio is skewed more toward suck in anime than most other mediums. I am pretty sure if this post was about country music instead of anime no one would call me close minded or a racist.
Hell I fucking love Deathnote...but I still think anime sucks as a whole and the rabid fanboys that have taken over the internet was the reason for this blog post. Because not only do they think that everything from Japan rocks out loud but they think some of the crappiest films I have ever seen are examples of great art. I mean Akira REALLY?!

It isn't like I am picking out the worst examples I can find, I picked Akira and Sailor Moon which are believed to actually be great. Of course everything has exceptions but when 99.9 % of everything you make is crap and even the best examples are still crap...it makes you wonder.
But obviously this is all my opinion taste is subjective and I find it incredibly close-minded to call people who disagree with you close-minded.

Anime, just like American animation, has a wide range of styles and content. To just say that the entire genre is crap is being AMAZINGLY closed-minded. I know there is a LOT of crappy anime shows, but there are also plenty of shitty American tv shows too, especially if you dive into some of the American cartoons of today.

Those franchise for your information Star Wars and The Matrix just to name a couple dude you got me so mad about this. I mean what rock have you been under I don't even hear you say what should be made. You obviously don't take the time to understand the series or find good ones. Not everyone thinks like good ol W.

WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK WHAT YOU LIKE OR DON'T LIKE. You sound like a grumpy old chicken. I WON'T SUGGEST any because I don't expect you to watch it. You sound like a 1 dimensional fool with a stick up ur anus. I THINK YOUR AFRAID. AFRAID THAT a totally different and foreign art form that others seem to embrace. .. YOU MY FRIEND KNOW NOTHING OF SUBTLETY. TO THINK one of the greatest american franchises was fashioned after mindless anime as you call it. I agree there are bad anime just like bad movies. You are like the RACIST JERK at a party that refuses to enjoy something new and CHOOSES TO BE TOTALLY IGNORANT of other people's CULTURE i.e. the drawing style you seem to be so jealous of one word to describe you would be NUMBSKULL not for your opinion but for your apparent close mindedness.

People always seem to generalize and think that all anime is just pink-haired magical girls wearing short skirts or shows like Naruto and Bleach.These are the shows that become popular but the shows that get popular are not always the good ones.
Like in any medium there is the good stuff and the bad stuff.
Also, a suggestion to everybody - Please don't post anything if you don't have enough knowledge about what you are posting.

I agree with M-Gizzle. Although good art in an anime is a huge plus, the animation should just be an avenue for telling the story. If you put the artwork above the story then you should probably read manga instead of watching anime, which 9 out of 10 times is better then the anime itself. If you take Naruto Shippuuden right now, the art team on the tv show changed from the original naruto to Shippuuden, it got much worse. The new team can't handle the speed that is conveyed in the manga. They draw their characters too lanky and their is unnecessary shadowing. Yet the Naruto manga is still going strong, amazing, no fillers, and a uniformal feeling from start to finish.
