Khaosman-ADVENT said: that is literaly everybody i know. when i ask why the don't or won't like anime, the most common response is, "tentacles" and/or "weird boobies".The closest I got was people who bash anime like hell but fawn over Disney animated movies like Frozen. |

DarkAngel1221 said: 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. Orevataf said: 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). DrGeroCreation said: DarkAngel1221 said: They do have kids in them but generally not over sexualized like what you can come across in animeLOL people who say lolicons are only the perverts, only those with Ecchi tags have those.

| @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. |

| you heard it from people from england ? or outside your homeland too ? and btw, that is the first time i've heard it. 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. |

DrGeroCreation said: @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. 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: . 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. .

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

| 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. |

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. What it's boring is people constantly making threads comparing anime to everything else and making everything an anime vs whatever. This is not some strengthening sense of comradery.

It's obvious to me they are trapped in a VR game . I know the world of Grimgar has a lot of traits of a game world. And that the main characters come from a world where RPGs exist. But the problem is, Grimgar's balance is quite weird, and shows signs of not being designed as a free-market MMORPG. In particular, it is very much not friendly to newbies, which is bad for business. I guess what I'm talking about doesn't make much sense to somebody without either a lot of experience with videogames, or experience in game design or tabletop RPGs? |

| @flannan Not liking something because it's overused is being an elitist. That's news to me. It's an mmorpg game world but the characters start off really weak. Seems like the case to me. |

| 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. |

| (I'm so excited this is the first post I've ever replied to > u <) 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). |

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. |

| 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. |

Chiibi said: 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.DrGeroCreation said: Chiibi said: DrGeroCreation said: .

Chiibi said: 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.*sighs* Dude...............Star VS The Forces of Evil IS absolutely anime-influenced because the creator said so herself. That's the bottom line. Bobby2Hands said: Okay but I'm focusing on personality.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. |
