| Some anime are very smart some are very dumb. No need to generalize them. I'd say anime like LOTGH and Ashita no Joe are on par with stuff like The Godfather and Seven Samurai. |

| Cuz chinese cartoons are for children. |

   I envy your delusion; I wish I could live in it  |

| Not really sure how an anime OR book can be smart or dumb seeing as they don't have brains... |
 |
| Because of this thread and the thousands of others like it. |
| Because they haven't watched deep and complex masterpieces such as Inferno Cop or Ninja Slayer. |

PoeticJustice said: If the borders of what one medium is capable of is limited in certain aspects this would affect overall quality. If the different mediums have different limits and potentials then the average quality would be variant between them. Quality is dependent on each of us individually, as as such we will all assign different values to different things we like, if they are limited in one medium and not in another then there is your preference, and basis for comparison.Anonymous said: I mean a comparison regarding quality.

Black-Bolt said: Because 78% anime are dumb generic harem anime that is predictable, cliché, and cringe worthy while not worth watching since you can predict the whole outcome. Why watch another duplicate but different characters and the background? Says a black bolt fanboy XD |
|
| Dunno. Never heard anyone say that. I can only assume that they don't know much about either anime or books. Forgetfulness said: Maybe because it has to cater to otaku in Japan, for the most part Like young adult books pandering to tweens. |

| Because they probably see 2 minutes of something, and say it's bad. It's pissing me off, but Ignorance is a common thing when it comes to anime unfortunately. |
| It's because of ignorance, obviously. Why would you attribute intelligence to different entertainment media anyway, if you weren't prejudiced? I think it's easy to understand why some people's first impression of anime is that it's juvenile and unintelligent, but as with many other things, it takes a bit of exploring and time before you discover the good stuff. Many people simply don't have the time or interest to do that, but they still want to assess it, and make up some shallow and premature opinion that have no real worth. |

| because non anime viewers just see lollies and fanservice. that's really about it. and there's the whole cultural difference. cartoons tend to be more slap stick and funny. so when people see anime they think it's no different than a cartoon. |
| Because it's the truth. Nothing intelligence about cartoons. --EDIT= Just notice OP has LoGH in his favorite list. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
| Books are a superior medium at conveying meaningful communication compared to anime/movies/televison. |
| Low levels of maturity, intelligence and grounds for comparison. The real question is: why do you care? |
 |
Let's recover the old Seriously guys, there's a limit in the amount of times I can rephrase the same answer. |
| only book supremacists think that.. it's their nature |
 |
| Whilst I believe most novels have a higher standard in quality, there are quite a few Anime that can be considered just as great as literature. Also, good job using LoGH as an example, supreme troll. |
| Anime and films are a more sensory experience than books. Books are completely intellectuals. They deal only with ideas. Nothing about them touches your senses, whereas films/anime aim also to appeal to your sense of hearing and seeing. That doesn't make one medium better than the other. Stories that work well in anime wouldn't work well in books. I wouldn't want to read a Medabots novel. Anyone who tell you one medium is better than the other and haven't read a single book in Media Theory can be written off as pretentious. |

| i wouldnt call it a lower artform.... you can say that like artistically its simpler then doing more realistic art. but as a form of art, anime is a multi-tiered art form. Art, acting, animation, music, etc. No way its a lower artform |
| https://combosmooth.itch.io/ - I make free-to-play browser games for PC and I sell pixel art animation here |
| it's.. different in terms of reflective and philosophical content, anime can't match up to literature at its high end, it would simply be unrealistic for the medium it's the same with live action films that isn't to say that movies and anime can't be profound and emotionally moving, they just naturally lack the complexity of the more 'literary' novels |
