So I assume you'll agree that Being John Malkovich sucks?
Since when was anime a "genre"? Anime is simply a term used to describe the style of animation that comes out of Japan; that's it. Animation. Story and writing have nothing to do with it. Anime encompasses everything from comedy, to drama, from kids shows, to soap operas.
so, anime is glorious and Charlie Kaufman's work is that of a lame emo boy?
lolno.
for one thing, you'll find all of that trash heap classified under "Anime" in any video store. We have stores here dedicated to all that teeny-bopper anime/manga shit as well.
it doesn't matter if it's comedy or teenage horror/porn, it's all trash. and it's all anime.
try to watch the old Transformers/Gi Joe/Voltron cartoons. pretty much the same stuff--really, really stupid. as such, it's great when you're a kid. and the animation is some of the worst in the business (I'm talking about the jap cartoons that have completely taken over these days--pokemon style and such: some of the worst animation
ever)
