    God, I hate the stuff. The over sexualization of young girls. The goofy big eyes, the mannerisms with odd grunting and huhs. The pointy hair that could kill someone if they fell into into it. The mouths often being bigger than most of the face, the odd expressions that make no sense to us.

    It is rare to find non offensively annoying animae.

    Give me Chuck Jones or give me death.
