| How is this a bad thing? Its not like he is going to change the world of anime. He isn't even changing the world of hip hop. |
  |
| 1st of all this asshole isn't a rapper, he's a punk who came out of the closet with one somewhat decent dance song. Now that he's representing the anime community, however, I do have respect for him and give him some kudos. If I were famous I'd be advertising anime to Western culture to expand the anime community too. On the other hand, Soulja Boy just showed how whack he is and ruined his REP even more imo. |
 |
| I don't like his music at all, but if he's proud to be an anime fan, let him show it off. Even if it is a show like death note. |

| He's ruining our image. |
| hehe, I thought it was catchy. What a nice novelty. |
| Yeah, it's terrible. But... it's crazy how mainstream anime is getting. I can't remember how many celebrities I've seen lately claim they like anime, but there's been quite a few. I'm like balancing between "D: ... wtf" and "hmm... :S" |
 |
| Soulja Boy is a horrible singer (IMO) but it draws fans. The bad, over-obsessed kinds of fans. Think Narutard. |

| wouldn't doubt it, but i didn't like the rap |

prismheart said: It'll still be a 'nerd' image, just a 'cool nerd' image, or something like that.Wizzaard said: IDex said: He's ruining our image. What image? The nerd image. Kind of like what Hollywood does with dorks; tries to make them seem 'cooler', but really does nothing. As exemplified here:  Now imagine that, somehow, with anime fans instead of nerds, and you sort of get the picture. Or something... |

alexcampos said: JackTheRipper said: Who cares if Soulja Boy is a Anime Fan. It matters when he starts making songs about anime and people start raging about that, not to mention if you're a Soulja Boy hater, you start to hate what he likes. Think about it, HOW BAD would it be if BIEBER starts singing about Naruto or any other anime related topic... Why the fuck would any logical person hate what some one they dislike enjoys? Oh wait.. |

| Dear American Media, Please do not make Anime yours. Avatar: The Last Airbender was probably the best and closest thing to anime you made, but you just had to take that step further and make a movie out of it with main characters being indian. I do not know about you, but I'm very sure at this very moment, you are creating a hollywood movie of Naruto, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and god knows, K-ON!. Which I am sure you will use Rebecca Black and Justin Biebers look-alikes as the actors and ruin the soul of the anime with shit acting and terrible moe. Soulja Boy, thank you for liking anime, but I hope u are not gonna make a big deal out of it and start making songs with rapping behind anime songs.. Sincerely, Wiibii :) |
 |
| Seriously, I dont really understand why everybody is complaining about it. I mean, not everybody that likes Anime is related to the "nerd" image that somebody wrote earlier. I'm not really a big fan of him, but I dont think he is a piece of crap either. I dont think this changes anything in anyone's life. He's a rapper and that doesnt mean he cant like anime. That goes for every other human in the world. So the idea I got here is that no anime fan can listen to Soulja Boy, and that he cant like anime? wtf? |
| In all my subjectiveness, I can only see that as being a good thing :D |
 |
| wtf did i just listen too ..... |
 |
| Crank that,Soulja Boy! |
 |

| When I said he's ruining our image I meant that he's enforcing the "Every anime fan is retarded DBZ shounen/star wars geek." stereotype. |
| WOW....can't believe this thread is back....I did this thread almost a YEAR ago, and here it is again. Well, here is your classic OTAKU anime fan, and what he thinks about Soulja boy. |
| Whether or not he is an anime fan he is still a horrible rapper. |
 |
| I honestly don't care that Soulja Boy is an anime fan. Who cares? |

| Is that guy in the video wearing 3D glasses you get from the movie theaters? So hardcore. And yeah. Who cares what ____ person is into. I like it, and it wouldn't change the fact. I don't give a rats ass what people would think about it because of some guy rapping about it. For me to like something, I don't need everyone's approval. |
 |
| i will smile and die a happy person the day the japanese music industry makes parodies of western film/cartoon..... |
|
| Meh, at least Soulja Boy has a publicly-known hobby that is different than the interests of most mainstream rappers today (guns, excessive gold jewelry, 22-inch rims, etc.). |
 |
| My eaaars >.< THEY'RE BLEEDING |
 |
| I actually lol'd at the song. So bad ... ><'' But on another note, it really doesn't matter does he like anime or not. Let people like what they like. |
| Wtf go do your raps or something lolz. |
 |
alexcampos said: SO, is this good news having a "famous" rapper like anime, or will this RUIN the anime industry. 2 things: 1. ruin the anime industry? seriously? overacting much dude? 2. anime is basically for everyone, meaning even the celebs like it (ex. robin williams). so it really has no affect on us, though this way, it could give more awareness to anime in general. it's to bad though soulja boy had to make a shitty song that had so little to do with anime make no sense at all. |

| I don't see a problem with it, he is entitled to his own opinion and if he likes Anime fine, if he wants to make bad raps songs out of his love for it, fine. I see no reason to be upset, Anime is popular and people like it, sure others will judge Anime just because he likes it but the intelligent people will like what they like and there are plenty of them out there to fill the fandom. |
. |
| It's been two years since I last heard Soulja Boy. I see no problem if he is an otaku. |
| Meh, this bothers me... slightly... A LOT. Two weeks after "Crank That" was released, I wanted to murder him. But people like what they like. Everyone has their interests, and Soulja Boy (unfortunately) happens to be an anime fan and devoted this song to it. =p Oh well. |

| iThink dats cool, im not a big fan of soulja boy as a rapper, but as a person iThink he's cool |
 |
| Lupe Fiasco is a pretty big fan of manga. |
 The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed, the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die. And the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish. |
| No problems with Soulja boi being an anime fan. The only thing is that the song is quite bad. lol |
femalegoblin said: Lupe Fiasco is a much better rapper to represent the anime world. Doesn't he mention Lupin the III in a song? xD It was in Kanye West's song touch the sky; he said "Yes, yes, yes guess who's on third? Lupe steal like Lupin the Third, hear like ear till I'm beer on the curb, peach fuzz buzz but beard on the verge ,slow it down like we're on the syrup, bottle-shaped body like Mrs. Butterworth's" |
