Because western anime are for kids? Duh? For kids.... I forgot you like childish stuffs. ^^ Uhg... quote is broken.
Generally in adult animated sitcoms and DC animated movies you don't see kids sexualized.
Then what you are doing here on MAL? MAL focuses on eastern animation, so why are you even here if you hate it?

You know... I don't even know what these eastern Anime haters are doing here on MAL, where focuses on eastern ones. Unless they're just really bunch of hypocrites looking for someone to argue with since it's their way of living. LOL

They really are a bunch of trolls and hypocrites, as far as I can tell.
In particular, when you hear somebody on these forums saying "chinese cartoons" - he/she is being a hypocrite.

It basically comes from two things. Ignorance as well as a desire to not lose cool points. Because they do not know anime, they have a very stereotypical view of it as manchild-pandering, weird things for uncool, weird, nerdy people. They do not wish to be associated with this image and are therefore quick to deny any interest or involvement.

In other words, for lack of a better term, normal fags, boring pussies.

In my view, liking western cartoons loses more cool points. Whether it's "My Little Pony", a show for little girls about some talking animals beating everyone with the power of friendship (see nakama power haters on these forums for details), or South Park, which feels the need to say how adult it is by constantly swearing (swearing is like martial arts - you don't use it until it's really needed).

@Flannan Didn't say it was an anime only thing and I don't see what that has to do with elitism. So people are probably just tired of it.

. A game world doesn't have to be an rpg world. Dishboard is definitely a game world since games are part of daily life there.

. It is he is trapped within the world and experiences it like the real world.

. I've heard that Grimgar is a more realistic take on the game world trope so the characters aren't overpowered like Kirito.

Western is for children and Anime is for adult maybe ? well some of anime are for kids too... but overall anime is for teenager or adult.
like hell i will tell my kids to watch Fate Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya or watch Prison School or Shimoneta. i mean, i like that kind of stuff but for kids....NOPE! wait until they understand..... because just one misstep and they will try to do it in real life.

Apparently it is. This guy is the exact definition of the anime bigotry I thought was just a myth. The slightest bit of valid criticism or factual statement leads to total dismissal and rejection through a shaming tactic. What a breath of fresh air this all is. And by fresh, I mean like the kind of air you'd get when you walk by a sewage backup.

Claiming one is tired of an ubiquitous well-working trope is what I see as the essence of elitism - the distaste for things that work fine in favor of something that would satisfy a critic.

DrGeroCreation said:

I've seen Grimgar, and I've played video games. In pretty much any videogame, player's characters start capable of fighting at least the same number of low-level opponents. They do not face the possibility of being beaten by one lousy goblin.
Some examples:
Utawarerumono the game's first fight is about beating a dozen of mountain monkeys. The next few fights put the MC on the throne of a kingdom as he and his allies lead the rebels in the fight against the kingdom's regular army.
In Skyrim, after your hands are free and you get your first sword, you fight your way out, fighting against 1-3 imperials/rebels at a time, all of whom are supposed to be experienced warriors.
I've started "Borderlands: the pre-sequel" yesterday. The game started with the two of us plowing through squads of space marines, saving a corporate executive, and plowing through more space marines on our way off the space station.

I haven't actually played a MMORPG, only lots of single-player RPGs, but as I understand, in MMORPGs the situation from Grimgar can happen only if you go to a zone far beyond your level.

It's only MMO PvP shooters like Planetside that can replicate Grimgar's situation, as most opponents are real humans, and player's skill is the main thing that matters.

You cannot be so fucking delusional to not be able to see the flaws in the norms and trends of the medium. If you think that when you hear criticism of anime for having questionable content that its western counterpart does not have is a valid reason to dismiss and shame those people by saying, "go back to watching western cartoons" then you are nothing but a bigot. A person can like watching an anime like Berserk yet find most ecchi harems questionable and distasteful. A person can like watching Adventure Time yet find something you'd see on Saturday morning as childish and boring. Stop trying to wrap everyone into black and white.

Good Lord, AD really has gone to shit.

OT: I used to be one of those guys, so I can tell you exactly why this kind of thought exists. Exposure and lack of understanding. Lack of exposure leads to a lack of understanding, thereby creating an unintentional stereotype which then alienates you and makes you wary of other anime.

Also, @DarkAngel1221 Anime, in general, doesn't have nearly as good story telling as you believe it does.

Not being able to understand the opposition's viewpoint is what is leading you to believe that they are criticizing any and all anime for those things. They are taking a facet of the medium and discussing that. Also, I believe that DrGeroCreation is one of those guys that goes off at any given chance to talk about how much he likes American television cartoons. It's become so exhausting to read his diatribes where he over-generalizes everything and praises American DC cartoons and shows like Adventure Time like no tomorrow.

And if you think Rakudai is a good anime with a great plot aimed at more mature audiences - may god bless your soul.

If you haven't realized after 10k forum posts that these threads are nothing but an attempt at a circlejerk then I don't know what to tell you. I mean, there are plenty of threads that get created where people bring up the same rehashed, old and banal ideas just to make themselves feel better by having other people confirm their own ideas. It's not hard to see through the bullshit. It's not some house of smoke and mirrors, really. Going against the waves in these kind of threads will just lead to harassment and cheap dismissal tactics. Do you really expect a bunch of weebs looking for confirmation to listen to valid arguments? No, they will not. They just want to feel good for being different.

This is not some strengthening sense of comradery. What it is, is more along the lines of pulling a veil over their own eyes and indulging in ignorance to fight off even more ignorance. Two wrongs don't make a right and no one wins at the end of the day.

I don't see how it's natural to always be comparing and competing with other mediums. Outside Mal and anime sites in general I don't see other fans always comparing things to anime and competing . Like I don't see people on IMDB always comparing movies to anime and threads asking if movies are superior to all anime and stuff like that. Same for Toonzone. On Mal it's like anime is fighting a war with other shows.

It's understandable to get angry at that however the person could be ignorant about anime and if you introduce them to anime they may like it could change their opinion.

I think both mediums are great. Western Animation HAS gotten so much better in the last decade and the irony is anime influence.

The creator of the Fairly Odd Parents is Butch Hartman and it's pretty clear he's an anime fan. There are references all over his shows and inside jokes that shows that he likes it. A lot.

Anime has been influenced by western cartoons since the 60's and the overused moe character design only exist thanks to Tezuka being influenced by Betty Boop and Bambi. OPM, Tokyo ESP, Boku no Hero Academia are heavily influenced by western super hero fiction. Western cartoons have been good before this decade .

Not really and Batman TAS and Gargoyles used to pull in many adult fans .Cartoons like those even though they have some anime influence feel far more like western cartoons than anime. Young Justice also pulls in adult and teenaged fans. How exactly is Star anime influenced? Just because she is a magical girl? She is super zany like a typical golden age cartoon character more so than anime characters.

Well, I think it has to do with preference, maybe the person likes cartoons/western style animation because they grew up watching shows like Spongebob, Ren and Stimpy, The Powerpuff Girls, etc. and maybe they were uncomfortable when watching anime. Or maybe they didn't know that shows like Pokemon or Digimon were anime when they were growing up and it turned them off from anime (that's what happened to my cousin).

Her wand is a homage to them but how is she (Star) anime influenced?Don't say because of the eyes because the big eyed moe design started with Betty Boop. She acts as crazy as a western cartoon character not like a typical anime character.

.............................are you KIDDING me, man!? XD

Do some research; the creator herself is a huge Sailor Moon fan and she" wanted to make a cartoon like that". She was originally going to have Marco be a DBZ fanatic but that got changed over time.

Star's wand is a deliberate mash-up of Sakura's wand and Sailor Moon's wand.
Her wand is a homage to them but how is she (Star) anime influenced?Don't say because of the eyes because the big eyed moe design started with Betty Boop. She acts as crazy as a western cartoon character not like a typical anime character.


There's no such thing as a "typical anime character". They have as many different personalities as western characters.

I take it you've never seen Magical Witch Puni-chan.....

That story is practically identical, as well as their personalities.

But here are some more tropes, if that doesn't convince ya:

I know a few people who say that but they don't watch cartoons anymore. They like cartoons because of the nostalgia. Even I prefer shows like the old tom and jerry, courage the cowardly dog, ed edd eddy etc over most of the anime I have watched because of the same reason. Those shows were a part of my childhood.

Star also shows anime influences in the use of static splash backgrounds and the way she shouts the name of her attacks as she does them.

As a die hard animation fan, I happen to watch anything animated as long as if it entertains me. I just love animation.
It's dangerous to go alone, take this.

They can't handle superior art and better stories.

Saw the first episode and that girl is nothing like Star personality wise. She seems bipolar or just hiding her true personality to throw people off. She acts defenseless, innocent and cutesy then becomes super serious and hardcore. Star doesn't have a split personality like that. The story does seem similar but that anime seems more parody like. There was a dog magical pet acting like he is a desperado.

Dude...............Star VS The Forces of Evil IS absolutely anime-influenced because the creator said so herself.

That's the bottom line.

I'm not denying that but Star is more like a western cartoon character as I said. The character from that anime is nothing like her personality wise.

Okay but I'm focusing on personality.
