  1. I hope this doesnt suck! by nagisa_kaworu · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    OMG I cant believe this! I really hope they do a good job bringing this to live action or an army of otakus will surely destroy Japan. Why not just make an OVA or another movie in animated form?

    im only just getting into anime. who can tell me more about EVANGELION??

    Evangelion is mostly about a teenage kid named Shinji getting forced into piloting a Giant Battle Robot and protecting the world from invaders. The direction is artsy, but Shinji whines a lot and there's no shortage of teen angst. Some people really dig the show, but others can't stand it.

    What exactly is your "life" composed of? My theory is that people who enjoy anime don't know how to have a good time, EVER. So even if you're not obsessed with the latest big-eyed faggoty cartoon, you're still not doing anything worthwhile. Have you ever touched a woman? HAVE YOU FAGGOT?!!

    Answer the question you fucking retard or I'll turn the dogs on you, FAG.

  4. Buffy backlash by NineNine · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I just gotta say that after all the "Why Buffy" whining yesterday, that as a geek, I can't fucking stand anime. Everything I've seen has been overly childish and effeminate. Yes, I'm gonna turn off the "anime" section, but I figured that it was only fair that I throw my $0.02 in. Anime sucks. It's designed for little Japanese girls, not grown men.

    many people's favourite anime series of all time

    Really? You mean Gigantor or Tobor, the Eighth Man? I ain't seen them since I was 11 years old. Come to think of it, I haven't seen any anime since I was 11 years old.
