Japan's Empire of Cool

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the anime-is-just-part-of-the-picture dept.

The Wicked Priest writes "The Washington Post is reporting that culture is among Japan's leading exports." Talks about Anime, Manga, Music, Video Games and so forth. Interesting reading.

    How about going outside and interacting with the other carbon-based life units you see around you? They are called "people".

    "Anime, Manga, Music,"

    Please take that stuff back! Sure it may appeal to a portion of geeks and small children, but by far the majority of the US despises Anime with a passion. Anime is the lowest level of cartooning, it either uses crappy animation, or uses animation that is so far away from traditional animation that it shouldn't be considered as such. Fortently traditional cartoons seam to be making a come back on networks like cartoon network, I think Adult swim only has 2 anime's, still to many.

    Mod me down all you want, but someone had to say it. I'm sure I'm not the only person who comes here and see's something on anime on slashdot and ask why oh why is that on here, it just re-enforces stereotypes.

    The mad cow disease is a 100 percent British invention.
    And SARS was created by creative Chinese chicken traders.

    Wankers like you claim that every invention comes from your country and you don't hestitate to spread lies and counterfaits.
    Such fucking cultural imperialists like you are the reason why everyone hates Canada.
