Umm, I hate to break it to you, Bowen, but the dumbed-down crap that
they show on Cartoon Network is only a *tiny* fraction of all anime that exists in the world. As I said in my previous analogy, anime in Japan is just as big as Hollywood is in the states, if not bigger. The only reason some of it makes it to the states in the first place is because a bunch of advertising executives think that it'll sell merchandise. (i.e. Pokemon, Dragonball, etc.) So that's what I meant by "be adventurous". There's more to life than Cartoon Network and Kids WB. Find your nearest Blockbuster and check out the Sci-Fi section, or better yet, look up some fansubs of more current anime. (if you don't mind reading subtitles) As for the lack of culture, I guess I should rephrase that to "a lack of wanting to learn more about the world around you." :P [View Quote] [View Quote] -- Goober King Sweat drops mean embarrassment! *vein pops from forehead* robrod at prism.net |
