Imagine you have a chance to give a presentation of what anime is like. How would you go about it? Details are welcome.


I personally think its a little bit of both. But I will emphasize on 3 and 4, with 2 as a joke here and there.

Definitely the first option out of those. The sterotype that anime is full of pervy teenager shows is one of the main reasons why anime has such a negative stigma, especially among neo-puritans on the internet.

Summarizing what anime is in general is like summarizing what movies are or what music is. Your options would be to only state what they all have in common leading to a very short presentation, show a medium length presentation and inaccurately describe the medium, or show a full presentation on everything anime is leading to an hour long presentation or longer just to explain the basics.

Pretty much, yeah. I'd say it's different for novels, since it's pretty hard to shut off your mind while reading, unless you don't mind not knowing what you read

Anime: it could be a medium that embraces every idea under the sun, if it didn't have unnecessary fanservice shoehorned into everything.
Time to put up the fanservice shields.

Anime: It is animation from Japan. It comes in many different styles and types. You could have a show that question human morality but also have another that is about a fart.

Interestingly enough, someone I chatted with told me I talked exactly like those who like Card against Humanity. Not sure if its a compliment or not, I guess it is.
