Want Anime Network on Your Cable System?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the yes-have-some dept.

ccnull writes "The Anime Network has launched a "tell your cable company to carry this station!" campaign on its web site. Just enter your ZIP code at the top of the site's home page (it looks like a banner ad) and you'll be that much closer to Samurai X 24/7. In case you hadn't heard, the network launched in late 2002." No support via DirecTV. I filled out the form already- I crave this channel.

    I love Anime, and I've had vaginal intercourse with over 35 women (I lost count), and sexual intercourse (including hand jobs, oral sex etc) with more than 50.

    Some of them really like Anime too. Miyazaki films are great films to show a date, and they usually come out of them interested in watching more Anime. If you're seeing a girl on a regular basis, a really good choice is maison ikkoku.

    So don't believe the stereotypes.

  3. Why? by abigor · · Score: 0, Troll

    Anime is low-framerate, melodramatic, misogynistic garbage. Every anime movie I've seen - and I've seen a few, thanks to my "friends" - falls into this category. The animation of anything that's supposed to be moving quickly is laughably bad, the dialogue is just dumb and juvenile, and there is always - ALWAYS - a shot of a tied-up chick being either terrorised or mutilated, usually with a shot up her skirt thrown in. How can anyone be addicted to this stuff?

    I've seen plenty of anime, sadly. Famous ones like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, and more - they were all just awful. The framerates are so low the animation is actually distractingly bad. The dialogue is hokey and cliched. And of course women get very poor treatment - you'd almost think most anime watchers are women-hating (fearing) geeks who sit at home alone, masturbating wildly to revenge/lust fantasies of cartoon women getting tormented.

    Yeah, "appreciation for the art." Sure.
