Get the anime mug.by Murdoc Niccals the evil pickle January 28, 2017
Get the anime mug.Japanimation, or the Japanese term for animation, whichever you prefer. Yes, not all Anime is good and it's not for everyone. The people who are bashing it either have not seen it or they saw the shit that Cartoon Network airs. That's why I don't watch it (Cartoon Network) anymore. I don't know many people who obsess over it so bad they talk about it 24/7. I sure as hell don't talk about it all the time like some others probably would. There is some good Japanese animation out there, like Cowboy Bebop, Serial Experiments Lain and GTO and most of it is cliche`d and such. I like Manga better anyway because its cheaper and the story is more detailed.
The people here that slam Anime are just dumbasses/bullies who are pissed off at the world and have nothing else better to do than to slam what other people like. At least I have a job, jerkoffs.

Get the anime mug.1. A Japanese term for animation.
2. In America, used to refer to a particular style of art common to Japanese animation and comics.
3. In America, also used to refer to Japanese animation as a whole. The Japanese approach to art and storytelling is distinctive, at least to Americans, and has earned anime quite a few fervent fans and as many detractors. Still, regarding "anime" as a genre is misleading; it's really just a medium, whose subjects encompass drama, comedy, action, children's entertainment, pornography, and what have you. As with any form of entertainment, some of it is good, some is bad, most is in between, and no one will ever agree on what titles are which.

The increasingly popular localization of anime in America is a subject of great controversy among its fans.

Get the anime mug.
Animated works of art from Japan. Most often characterized by characters with big eyes, excessive but really cool facial expressions, females with big bouncy breasts(;^D), multi-colored hair, heavy use of ninjas, swords, and robots(mecha), and Japanese culture oozing from every frame of film. Includes basically any category of TV or movie show you can think of. For instance, there are anime kid's shows, anime soap operas, anime movies (which kick Disney's gay ass any day of the week :^), anime sci-fi shows, anime pornography (hentai/pervert), anime music videos, etc., etc., etc......... Sometimes, the definition of anime can also apply to Japanese video games.
Unfortunately, these fine works of art are often mutilated, censored, and mistranslated by American corporate motherfuckers who want every imported film to be as watered down as the diarrhea-shit that Cartoon Network and Disney spew out of their asses. Often, the imported anime is so badly "edited" that it is often unbearable to watch, which means you would have to find a store that carries subtitled versions of the original cartoons, or find a bootleg store which carries the original anime(hope you know Japanese).

Cowboy Bebop, Robotech, Akira, Voltron, Thundercats, Outlaw Star, Gundam, and Iria are excellent examples of anime.
Powerpuff Girls and Samurai Jack are NOT examples of anime because they were MADE IN AMERICA, and anything that's made in America is pure and utter shit.
