Well thats about it for me

and add Akira to that list of animes I made.

Akira's got a little too much action... if your not happy with it it's not fan service and vica versa.

But again your no fun

Now bear in mind, I haven't actually SEEN Slayers, but it looks to be full of fanservice.

What if you took out backgrounds of flashing lines and strange color designs to show movement or express emotions? What would you have left then?

that was my thought b4 fanservice came in... but the slayers -Naga really doesn't have fanservice, less magic itself is fanservice (like mechas) or girls themselves, but I figure if they're not 'scantily clad' than it shouldn't be. Though again fanservice literally would be anything that a fan would like.... an oxymoron really cuz he/she wouldn't BE a fan if s/he didn't like it lolo ;-p.

Well I don't know the point of this (I guess who cares if there's one).

But what if you took colour out of art (not just anime art)?
95% of the art would be gone at least.

What if you took the letter e out of the English language, or vowels?

Obviously, it is too some extent foolish to even ask, these aren't the greatest analogies, but they analize the pointlessness of such a question.

But if you enjoy pointlessness (believe me I do as much as the next guy), then go right on ahead.

Don't fool yourselves that its anything else though (heck this might apply to more than we think

)

Actually it has a point, that alot of anime, good or bad, is unoriginal.

As opposed to the plethora of original programming we see on American TV and in the movies?

I don't mind unoriginality so much as long as it's done well.

I never said everthing on TV was original either, but since the market is bigger there is a wider variety of shows.
