I don't understand why people are associating only pokemon and sailormoon together with anime, i mean, there're other anime out there that they can easily gain access to, right? Maybe they should ask themselves if they like being misunderstood.. >_<"

I still remember when I was in junior high and I drew a whole lot more often than I do now. Naturally, since I was interested in anime at the time, I liked to draw in that style. A boy came up to me, saw me drawing, and then said "Why are you drawing Sailor Moon?" -_-;

I think that may have to with the fact that Sailor Moon and Pokemon have been given a whole lot more publicity in comparison to other series. Dragonball Z as well.

Also, the Sailor Moon, Pokemon, and Dragonball Z series that have been aired on TV have been cut to such extremes that it's obvious that they are being catered to children. So, maybe some people just draw the conclusion that all anime is like that, and therefore is only for kids? I don't know. I won't claim to know what goes on in the heads of those guys -_-; Though I occasionally enjoy seeing the reactions I get when I tell them that Sailor Moon has been edited and that the original version not only has violence in it, but also lesbians and death. ^_^

angie023: sorry, force of habit. Bs stands for bullshit, as in anime are only cartoons, anime are just for kids, stuff like that. ^^

Send my regards to her, lol =P

CrimsonNataku: Hmm... I guess you're right.. But people should have been given at least some sorta exposure to a greater variety of anime.. why is anime so strictly censored then? Because whatever their reasons are, I can say other programmes on TV potray the same kinda 'restricted behavior'. :confused:

you know it is kinda wierd looking back a page, how most people view anime as either childish or just plain strainge......I my self have always liked anime as a way to excape reality....kinda like a dimention of its own, where most things are possible if some one tries hard enough.

star trek, yes I'm a fan....I only wish that there would be a way to visit/discover other, new beings....kinda like anime. my other half doesn't view it like that, "its just childish". But he is starting to get into watching Eureka 7 and Trinity Blood:D

CoolNard 03-01-2007 03:07 PM

curious_jane: lol, i don't think youre the only one who feels this way though.. =P
Sooo..., how did your husband get into anime?

curious_jane 03-01-2007 03:08 PM

I force him to watch it:D
Now he gets mad if I don't record it for him!

CoolNard 03-01-2007 03:13 PM

LOL, force!!! XD~!

Right, mental note to self: Forcing people to watch anime to make them stop criticizing them has been proven effective. :D

curious_jane 03-01-2007 03:21 PM

weeeeellllll......if he doesn't like what I'm watching, he just yells and leaves the room:rolleyes: , but if I tried the same thing he yells at me for it, kinda one sided:D . But I react, with ignoring him, for a day or two, and watch utube anime on the comp. He really hates that.
So, yes - I force him to watch anime! To bad it wouldn't work on other people.....:rolleyes:

CoolNard 03-01-2007 03:28 PM

He sounds like your everyday dad/husband to me, lol..
If it works on your hubby, whats stop the same thing from working on other ppl? ^^ there's always the possiblity.... :rolleyes: I hope... >_<"
*tries to force parents to watch anime*

no one really forced me to watch anime. at first, i didn't know what naruto was. and i mean, i didn't. like i thought it was weird at first, then i think my best friend zo told me or my bf. i can't remember. one of my friends on fp (furry-paws), was showing me how to get my layout and stuff. well, i checked his layout out, and it was naruto. i thought it was weird. but then zo or my bf told me what it was. (at that tiime, i wasn't going out with my bf. i asked him out sometime in september). so now, i'm into the volumes. and, i saw a utube movie of naruto. it didn't have any sound, but it showed what they were saying. but, naruto is so cool! most of my friends like it.
