I happen to really enjoy a lot of the anime out there. Also, I never understood how everyone could catagorize anime in one big ball. I suppose that's because of the crap that's going mainstream. I will agree that there are certain shows that are incredibly stupid and sadly enough, that's the stuff that's catching on here in the US and is overpriced and overplayed.
To any disgruntle anime haters, try watching things like Samurai X, Hellsing, or some deeper rooted animes. ( And if you have then I'm glad you gave it a chance. ^_^ Too bad you didn't enjoy. ) The friends back home hated anime but would at least sit with me during Samurai X or the Cowboy Bebop movie without me having to tie them down and enjoyed it. ^_^;; I even got my dad to sit down with me during some animes and he enjoyed it.
Not all anime is about a middle school girl gettings special powers or transported to another world and OMFG KAWAII NO BAKA, NO DA?!?! ( I butchered that one purpose . . . ^_^ ) You just have to search for the gems in the bunch.
( Although, I enjoy the spastic, crazy stuff too. Word up to all the Excel Saga fans. )
But as said, one's opinon is their own and continue to believe what you will cause I'll continue to love my anime regardless.
By the way - Lindy, that website it the BEST. I had a good laugh at it. Hehe. I also found this awesome Arnold Swhathaneger in Japanese that made me die a thousand wonderful deaths. :<3:
