    I really don't consider it a 'nerdy' thing.
    I take it you've never seen an anime convention?

    How can we continue to believe in a just universe and freedom to eat crackers if we have no ale?

  5. Anime is Deep by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    What a lot of you flamers don't understand is the amazing plots in the anime films. It's not all about CG but here in the U.S. that's what Hollywood is good at so that's all they do.

    The style is unique and culturally revealing. For instance, I have never been to Japan but now I know that women there are attracted to large, tentacled creatures. Also, Japanese men's penises are often "pixelated".

    This is the best troll I have ever seen on Slashdot. As in, "wow, this is the product of a frighteningly advanced mind!" Sir, I salute you. This is fantastic work.

    They could save lots of cash if they drew the eyes smaller. Eyes the size of cantalopes must use up a lot of ink.
