@ghettogilinsky Let me tell you 5 reasons why Anime is awesome and its a fandom and you CANNOT be racist and stereotypical.
1. The beautiful art.
Yes, yes, I know that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and that some people pick their art more meticulously than their food (but in both cases it somehow always seems to come down to colour). Yet it cannot be denied that anime is an art form, as varied and as versatile as many other media. Different artists use very different and distinct visual styles, and are influenced by many of the more traditional forms of art.
2. The Music
Okay, maybe you don’t like the anime art style. Maybe it’s too cartoonish, or maybe you don’t like the way it unrealistically portrays girls. So why don’t you take a look at the music instead?
3. Powerful Storytelling Medium
A lot of people who think that anime is just Japanese cartoons probably have not watched any anime more intellectually mature than Pokémon. Granted, it’s a show specifically designed to appeal to the minds of ten-year-olds, so there’s not much one can do in the way of complex subplots or deep emotional exploration.
4. Gateway into Another Language and Culture
5. Its fun
Let’s face it, anime is just another type of entertainment. You don’t need to know any of the biblical allusions in the Harry Potter series to appreciate the eternal tale of the struggle of good against evil. Likewise, you don’t need a degree in Japanese cultural studies to laugh at any of the crazy antics in the comedy Baka no Test no Shokanjuu. Besides, the spectrum of anime is so vast and diverse that there’s sure to be something that you like, or at least, not hate. There are a lot of crappy shows, sure; but there are a lot of crappy movies too, and I don’t see you boycotting cinemas or burning down DVD rental stores. The world is full of amazing and wonderful stories, and anime is one of the ways to taste a slice of the grand human narrative.
