Other people's misconceptions about anime/manga
Robin Sena:
fisah - A big example of that? Yu-Gi-Oh.
The term "Heart of the Cards" didn't exist in the non-dubbed anime.
I wouldn't be suprised if they didn't release the manga. (really good but pretty violent)
LemonPing:
"huh? u watch anime? isnt that hentai?"...
i laughed!
or
"so big already... still watch cartoons"
Alexiel:
i would NEVER EVER compare something like western cartoons with Anime. NEVER!!!! that is (to me) a DOWNRIGHT INSULT. as i am a dedicated anime fan, i have been for a long time, probably before i should've even understood it but i started watching it. and you know what i started anime off with? Neon Genesis Evangelion, one of the gorey but one of teh absolutely best animes made into production back then. and i saw this when i was 7-8 years old.
to top off my being angry (not that serious but a saying) at those who dont truly understand what anime is, when Americans make teh dubbed versions, they completely ruin the original meaning, and I've seen what people have said about Cardcaptor Sakura in dubbed form. They claim that it was heavily editted from teh original and cut out teh parts that actually made it worth watching.
It's the same for any other anime series that have been dubbed.
Like my first anime, Evangelion. When i got the chance to see the english version, i was utterly infuriated because of the voice actors. And ADV films interviewed the main character asking for their opinion of who they played as. And do you know what they say? "Absolutely stupid." I practically wanted to scream but then again, i didnt want to make a big deal out of it.
but that's what gets me really upset. People just dont see animes are quite different from cartoons. You just cant compare them.
Robin Sena:
The problem is, they will and they will for a long time.
It will take decades to remove the "cartoon stigma" of anime in the US.
bLuetopaz:
if you link western cartoons to animes.. its like animes which are dubbed from japanese to english or any other language.. and there will be bits and pieces removes from the original anime plus very weird and funny names..
