I notice that half of the comments here are just defending or speaking generally of anime, and the comments aren't closely related to the topic as other news posts. This should be enough to show you (Taco) that the majority of the community isn't interested in anime. It's not like half of the linux related posts are all about defending linux.
You already have a website devoted entirely to anime. The minority who are interested in anime (the entertainment value of anime) can visit your Animefu site for anime news.
Plus anyways, look at your news post title:
"New Anime Block Starts Tonight Cartoon Network"
That doesn't leave much open to discussion, as you've made countless similar news posts. Most end up criticizing or defending anime. The topic has been done to death.
So now most of the discussions now are pointless, what are you guys trying to do? Convince another to go out and watch + enjoy anime? Convince another to STOP watching anime? Justify yourself (who cares)?
Just stop posting anime news items, keep it to Animefu. The discussions about anime news on Slashdot end up the exact same every time - discussions about why anime is appealing - and the community has already had many intelligent discussions about that.
I should mention that I watch anime regularly, but never visit Animefu...oh well.
