It all started when my brother came home one day with a Dragonball Z vhs. He told me it was this wonderful cartoon that all his friends had been watching. I knocked it a little bit... and he said I should watch an episode before I judge. So, I did. It was completely retarded.
I wonder whether he's watching it because it's cool to watch or if he actually likes it. He's 19.. Why is he watching a cartoon meant for a 10-year-old?
Now, I have friends coming over and trying to add stupid Anime crap onto my Replay TV.. Yea.. it has 100 hours - but that doesn't mean you can record crap. Like, all my brother's friends (most happen to be my friends too ages 18-22) seem to like Anime... but not casually.. They like it in an odd crazy way. If I say anything bad about Anime, it's because I'm a 'hater' or 'uneducated' or 'don't get it' or 'biased against the Japanese'.
They're even using Anime names as their characters in games and ordering Anime T-shirts and stuff. I just cannot understand it. I've seen 3 or 4 episodes of Dragonball Z (too lazy to get off the couch while everyone else is watching) and it's horrible. I've seen an episode or 2 of Whatchamacallica and Whatthehellwasthatshoiwa and it's all just dumb. Screen blinks, man flies through the air, big punch, screen flash, man down, background flying by making me dizzy...
So.. do people watch Anime because it's a fad and it's cool to watch it right now? or, do they watch it because Anime is deep?
