And that's not a great analogy. I claimed that Bleach is better than Fullmetal Alchemist, you claimed I had bad taste because of it. One is an opinion, the other is a petty insult.

And shounen is not a genre, it's a demographic. I'm assuming semantics are fine with you.
Shounen is a genre meant for certain demographic.
What pleasure do you get from telling someone something is wrong with them because they like something you don't?
No pleasure at all. its just perfectly fine to state the opinion. just as you had the right to say what you said, I had the right to comment on it saying my own opinion.

Anything animated is Animation, or "Moving Pictures", a la "animate/animus/animé ". Cartoon is specific style of animation mostly used to define all of non-serious, humorous, parody forms of animation art. It is also an urban slang for western animation style.
So no, in no way it means the same.
I suppose we will agree to disagree!
No I am attacking you because I don't like your favourite manga and because artfully FMA1 beats the entire shonen genre, minus CLAMP works.
Ignoring the fact you admitting you're attacking someone because of a form of entertainment, that's a cool opinion, brother. I think CLAMP is pretty cool myself. Though, those legs...
And shounen is not a genre, it's a demographic. I'm assuming semantics are fine with you.
You rated them so high either because:
a. They are popular.
b. You have a bad taste.
What pleasure do you get from telling someone something is wrong with them because they like something you don't? It's actually a bit rude, especially considering this all stemmed from a simple comment not aimed anyone. Are you some sort of shounen crusader?

Anime are cartoons. Anything animated is a cartoon. I think you're being trivial about the other two. Instead of addressing what I'm saying, you're playing with semantics.

Again, trivial semantics. But, since you seem persistant, let's fix it.
Oh sure, moving pictures with thousands of frames are surely same as drawn book of non-moving pictures. Riight.
I don't like your favorite manga, and you are attacking me for it. Grow up.
No I am attacking you because I don't like your favourite manga and because artfully FMA1 beats the entire shonen genre, minus CLAMP works.
I don't get it. Are you saying I rated them so high because they're popular? Do you have proof of this?
You rated them so high either because:
a. They are popular.
b. You have a bad taste.
I could easily say so-and-so rated 20th Century Boys a 10
because it /wasn't/ mainstream, but that doesn't mean I'd be right in my assumption.
Yes because works of Urasawa are mostly rated because of their high quality and not because of their popularity/unpopularity.
Also, I wouldn't necessarily call Beyblade popular, at least not anymore. It's barely alive, if only because of the new series.
It does not change the fact that it is a poor attempt at creating a toy franchise though.

Anime =/= Cartoon.

Do you know what semantics are?

And that's why you rated it 10. Right. And Beyblade too.

That's pretty shallow to judge someone by something as trivial as a cartoon, but okay.
*facepalm*
Anime =/= Cartoon.
Manga =/= Anime
Manga =/= Cartoon.
1) I don't like your favorite anime. Grow up.
*facepalm*
Anime =/= Manga.
2) The one partiucular series I was talking about just happens to be popular. That may influence you, but I don't gauge the quality of a piece of work by how many people enjoy it or not.
And that's why you rated it 10. Right. And Beyblade too.

Yes you are. You are what you eat, you are what you read.
That's pretty shallow to judge someone by something as trivial as a cartoon, but okay. We could've been the bestest of fwiends.
So you are basically saying that instead of choosing things by the material and storyline, you choose the most popular ones and like that ? :E
Except I didn't say that. I was pointing how you and those other two basically ganged up on me because:
1) I don't like your favorite anime. Grow up.
2) The one partiucular series I was talking about just happens to be popular. That may influence you, but I don't gauge the quality of a piece of work by how many people enjoy it or not.

Wow, guys, thanks for taking the time to sum up who I am as a person by what Japanese cartoons I like and dislike!
Yes you are. You are what you eat, you are what you read.
wish I could be cool like you guys, what with the ablity to gauge what I like by it's popularity in the United States!
You are what you eat, you are what you read.
But alas, I am stuck deciding for myself what is good and what isn't based on the material itself and not how obscure it is so I can feel like the member of a secret adventure club for liking something twelve-year-old Naruto fans don't know about!
So you are basically saying that instead of choosing things by the material and storyline, you choose the most popular ones and like that ? :E
I have re-evaluated my place in this world as a person, thanks to you. I think I'll go to the Top Manga section, and then go to the very last page and read those series, since they obviously are of a higher quality then anything that would be a frontrunner!
1. Choosing things by the popularity of it is, well, human beings do not do that.
2. http://myanimelist.net/topmanga.php?type=manga - I don't see Bleach or Naruto anywhar thar. Do you?
Of course I forgot that you just said that you are choosing everything by the "Most Popular" tag.
Go put some south in your mouth.
Aww? And what about East? North? West? Thats called discrimination, sir!
Jun 19, 2009 12:32 AM by Ahenshihael
Then I have to LOL@U, sir.
of course its only normal that any bleach fan would hate FMA, which is clearly superior in storyline, art and characters. :P
You can't expect most people to realize the greatness that inhabits titles such as FMA, 20th Century Boys, One Piece or Saint Young Man. After all, this site is mostly inhabited by Naruto and Bleach tards from the US ;)
