Big breasts ruining anime?

[OmniStrata]

As a matter of fact, that has happened to me quite a bit. Whenever I say, "Yeah I like anime." Someone always replies with some crap about "Oh, so you like all that animated porn?" Quite annoying but hey, what should one do about it?

Nod your head, say 'Yes, especially the stuff with 4 year olds' then whip out your dick and start jacking off to while reading the back of whatever anime DVD you were looking at. This won't change their opinion of you, but it's a fairly safe bet they'll at least go away and leave you alone.

I like this post ^_^

Sometimes I say 'no I prefer porno that's of the hentai flavor' and people start crackin' up. Ideally, you only have to say 'you don't watch any or have seen any 'good ones' have you?'

The ignorant and uneducated will drag you down. All you have to do is not let them. Do what you want, get what you want and don't push your opinions onto others.

Also, you can point out that there are good fight action or slice of life romance anime out there that's as dramatic / boring as a soap opera. [I pointed out Boys Be and shut some people up actually...]

Black Lagoon is the best way to prove to people that anime makes Hollywood movies of awesome look quite weak actually.

I'd not seen Black Lagoon (nor am I sure if I want to... lol) but I'd challenge that remark. Anime is not > Hollywood, anime only exists cuz Japan can't afford Hollywood, their pretty much one in the same just gone in a slightly different direction. There are pluses in anime that hollywood can't do (the degree of SFX and suspension of belief... though hollywood has become QUITE good at that as well) but NOTHING beats a well thought out movie IMO simply because I can usually envision myself in a hollywood movie simpler than I can envision myself in even the simplest digital world. However anime's plus is that it's ALL Japan has. Seriously they have no military capacity, they take ALL their pride out of the media. Largest difference between Japan and America thus the difference between anime and hollywood.

Even if Japan could afford Hollywood budgets they'd have a hard time finding the space. It's a small country. Hardly matters I guess, since Hollywood movies can be filmed pretty much anywhere now, not just in studios. I'll bet Japan will develop some high quality 'hollywood' type films in the future.
