errr ... Is this real life?

I'm not offended by the statement, but I call his taste into question in regards to not liking anime. It's fucking awesome.

Title IX News!

It was a harmless joke... except for the fact that he's a politician. Gotta watch what you say publicly when you're in that kind of position.

But was he a Jew?

No. Nobody said that.

But really. Was he a Jew?

It doesn't matter. Shut up.

No, I'm serious. If it was a Jew...

It wasn't a jew. He wasn't a jew.

Are you sure!

Yes, I'm sure. Sit down. Shut up.

Cause Jews do that all of the time!

Do what?

That!

That...what...what are you talking about?

You're a jew, aren't you rougy?

Piff! I wish....

So why do you protect them?

I'm not protecting them.

Your're one of them, aren't you?

Would you just...for fuck's sake...bartender?

Bartender!

Oh for fuck sakes, I did a little " hah" when I heard them say it out loud. its funny, stfu society.

If you look at japanese tv shows, it's fairly obvious that the two nukes already screwed them up pretty bad...

That's actually right on the money. The Anime/Manga and Film/TV industries of Japan saw a huge boom in terms of artists/directors in both Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the years following the bombings. The children who were very young when it happened grew up in a post-nuke society and in the late 60's and 70's began to express themselves and the dystopia-oriented themes that were happening following the recovery. A lot of the visionaries involved in the field who would be considered as creating that "strange Japanese sense of entertainment" had direct involvement in some form or another in the bombings. It's what happens when you grow up in a post-apocalyptic minded society. So in other words, the nukes are actually a large reason why these forms of entertainment evolved into what they are today.

"Hentai is a prime example of why two nukes wasn't enough."

FTFY.

Am I evil because I laughed a little? Yeah, definitely too soon.

Can we please get a few more anchors on camera to read the same story?

But anime is shit... doesn't matter how many japanophiles downvote this comment, it's still shit.

OMG will mikichan and pikichan get tikichan and tatusan out of the evil clutches of lord motochan?! OHNOES.

That is the exact plot of every anime, don't even deny it!

"It has no place in private or public discourse." If he was referring to anime then all is forgiven. [/sarcasm]

No reasonable person can dismiss art simply because it was drawn by a Japanese person. Even if anime is 99% pandering to sexually repressed 14 or 40 year old males fantasizing about anatomically impossible pre-teen girls; that 1% still produced Cowboy Bebop, Hayo Miyazaki, and the original Ghost in the Shell.

Edit: Made end sarcasm tag visible, lest it be missed.

That's like listening to nothing but product jingles and proclaiming "all music is crap".

Anime is a broad category. Most movies and TV shows suck, but some are excellent. Anime is no different.

Why do politicians, journalists and Americans in general have to be such sensitive pussy ass nerds about everything? If it's racist and funny, IT'S OK! Also, what that guy said about anime obviously wasn't that far from the truth. Thank god I don't live in USA.

Whether anime is shit or not isn't the point.

Imagine him saying "Rap music is a prime example that 300 years of mistreatment, slavery, segregation, and abuse wasn't enough."

What would your response be then, anime-haters?

Having a plot that's been used 100s of times before didn't hurt Avatar...

I personally don't like anime at all, but found that comment to be funny... uh, NOT really. Agreed, that was an extremely WTF dumbshit comment to make. Guess that it is funny in that sense. I was like, " WHA???" I was positive that this had to be an Onion Network News report. Ridiculous FAAAAAIL!

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag.(show it anyway)

Anime is a huge area of art - saying it's "shit" is like saying all impressionists painters are "shit" - completely useless statement that indicates that you are not qualified to have a meaningful opinion on this.

I wouldn't classify myself as an Anime fan- but I recoginize art when I see it - some good, some bad.

I've said it before- but at the moment it's very cool to hate on Anime- buecause it was so red-hot over an extended period of time- and now we're on the downward side of that spike- so faux-hipsters attempt street cred by proclaiming their eternal hatred for it. Fashionistas bore the hell out of me.

I bet you think Chinese people drive poorly and are good at math, Jew's are tight with their money, and the black's can't be trusted with the white women.

Again, for the especially slow and simple (fjules) this isn't about hating on Anime, it's about being a bigot. Apparently it's OK to be racist against the Japanese.

I think the point everyone is making here is drawing broad generalisations is fucking stupid.

But yeah in all honestly the vast majority of anime is absolutely terrible, derivative nonsense that caters to ephebophiles.

"I bet you think Chinese people drive poorly and are good at math, Jew's are tight with their money, and the black's can't be trusted with the white women."

Haven't seen Chinese people drive so can't comment. Can't seen any black people flirting with white women either. But about jews - yes they are very tight with their money (all jews who I and my friends encountered have tried to fuck us over in some way). It's not being a bigot, it's acknowledging the truth. Inb4 butthurt downvotes (yes, truth hurts, i know).

Also gingers.

What's wrong with anime? Nausicaa is like one of the top 10 best movies of all time. The only good things in American animation are The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, Futurama, and Animaniacs.

Japanese anime is RARLY (Rawly?) off the wall and strange. I can't really remember any in rescent memory (im an avid fansub watcher). It's their TV showes that are wacked out bonkers!

Wow... how scientific of you.

I wonder what people would generalize about your bigoted ways.

Yep.

And Cowboy Beebop is one of the best mini-series of all time.

Fun hearing from the closed-minded, 'I don't like to think too much, so I just lump things into easy to follow categories', mindsets though.

Maybe I'm a "bigot" but at least I'm saying the truth. The truth that many Americans are too butthurt to utter. You can ad hominem me all you like but deep in your heart you know I'm right. Also, can't argue with facts baby. As I told you, I'm speaking from my experience and I'm not judging that which I have not encountered. (inb4 series of downvotes from people who are not from CIS)
