projekt_navi Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Man, I get really angry when I hear some anime fans calling Lain, Gasaraki, or even EVA, weird. I find this as an excuse for " confused " anime fans to not being to understand these type of anime. I let my friend borrow Gasaraki, and he said that it was weird and didn't like it. :mad: Just because its " weird " doesn't mean it sucks ... Oh yea, I remember when my cousin wanted to see Lain, and after seeing one episode, he called it " weird " as well. Even with EVA, most of my friends prefer either pilot candidate or gundam wing over EVA, because they also call EVA " weird ". People who don't like " weird " anime, thats fine. Did something like this ever happened to you? :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Imsirion Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 Yah, my friend says that sometimes. Only because he cant stand plot and story-line and romance. All he likes is action so everything else is "weird" to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 [color=darkblue] I agree, and I can't stand people that think DBZ is the greatest anime ever, because it has no plot, and is just action over and over. I had trouble with NGE, but that's because I couldn't get a hold of episodes 23-26...I didn't know who Kaoru (I think that's his name) was :p But I wouldn't call it wierd.

Marron347 Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 i completely hate it when my friends call the anime i watch weird.most of them think all anime is weird and that really is annoying. ps-i think dbz is the greatest anime ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 [color=darkblue] They're probably saying that [i]because[/i] of DBZ. I'd show them something with more depth, and plot, if you want them to like anime. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marron347 Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 well its not like dbz is the only think i watch. why dont you give me an example of an anime with depth and plot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 [color=darkblue] I didn't say it was, but the fact that it's your favorite... Scryed, Evangelion, Kenshin (less, but still), the Gundam series, even though it's gone far mainstream. Most of the dubbed animes on Cartoon Network, especially including Cowboy Bebop. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Akira, Ghost In the Shell, Trigun, and so many more that I can't think of them all. [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utena_Tenjou Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I do,every anime I watch(even Digi Charat...which is the cutest thing ever) my parents and friends think it's weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 [color=red]Just face it. People are always going to say you are 'weird' just because you like Anime. When you choose to like something, you like it because you like it, and you shouldn't care what another thinks about another series or movie. I hate it when people just judge you by what you like. Hate it.:flaming: [/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyper Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 People say that as a substitute, rather than saying "i dont know what that is," they replace it with "weird". Well, from my experiance that can be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrist cutter Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 Well, I would think that Di Gi Charat is kinda weird. That doesn't mean it isn't good though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 okay, what do you expect? if a qulity anime goes mainstream, it'll happen. take gundam. awesomnity in a nice television package. but some people ONLY like this, like my friend elen. of course, DBZ freaks need no explaining. i know that there are devout DBZ fans here that like other QUALITY anime, but they aren't DBZ freaks, cause freaks only like that. anyway, i hate that too.

vegeta rocker Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 some people if an anime doesnt include the word saiyajin its weird. (no offense to dbz fans) I think some people get so used to mainstream stuff they don't give other stuff a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genkai Posted August 6, 2002 Share Posted August 6, 2002 yeah, im sure Queen Askua could give you a good rant, she does that ometimes in threads.(i.e. "Yu Yu Hakusho and CB are MAINSTREAM! Watch some REAL, HARDCORE ANIME!") not that i know her, so i shouldn't be saying this.,...*shrug* okay, well, i think if an anime is mainstream, it doesn't make it bad, cause it wouldn't go mainstream if it wasn't quality anime. i myself watched 3 WHOLW DBZ DUBBED CN EPPIES OF DBZ! i was so proud of myself, i didn't even mind! it was okay, but i guess that's cause i haven't seen the uncut, nordo i have a mind to...

Marron347 Posted August 7, 2002 Share Posted August 7, 2002 then why did pokemon go mainstream? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amibasuki Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 [FONT=arial]Pokemon went mainstream when the anime came out on KidsWB. why it went mainstream? uh, prolly cuz it was just something new that seemed really trendy at the time (for most people). as for weird anime, I've called some anime weird before. the good kind of weird though, if I thought it sucked I'd just say it. ppl that call anime weird (the bad kind) after seeing an actually decent anime, well, that's their loss. they'll prolly do just fine in life without it, they just won't know what they're missing :p. those idiots that preferred Pilot Candidate over Evangelion need to be shot.[/FONT] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkadyz Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Well up to this point ive pretty much only seen mainstream as it was the only thing available to me(and that i was aware of)...But after seeing Eva and LOVING it (That includes the last 2 eps which i thought where incredible pieces of art) I think ill enjoy some of the more "off" stuff that american TV wont air... As for ppl calling anime wierd...Well thats just par for the course. Along with isnt that stuff just for kids? That my parents and friends spout alot :rolleyes: We all just live in the wrong country :laugh: My anime loving model building scooter riding self belongs in japan i think sometimes... :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ifm2181 Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 Just this morning, my dad finally found out how much I like Sailor Moon, which he said deserves a psych. He's another one of those anal people that doesn't understand something, and therefore, bashes it. Unfortunately for him, he's going to have to live with it for a while.

rMs Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 I know what you mean. My brother always says that DBZ is getting wierder every time he sees it. I told shut the *$#& up and quit wacthing it. P.S. DBZ rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kinetic Posted August 8, 2002 Share Posted August 8, 2002 [color=darkblue][size=1] >Shouts down the hall< "We have another one!" I know I've said that it's whatever you prefer, but it disgusts me that people think DBZ rocks, because that's what went mainstream, and won't broaden their horizon. Go watch some quality anime, not a bunch of brutes punching each other over, and over again. [/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
