Other people's misconceptions about anime/manga

<< < (8/11) > >>

Syaokura:
Hm... there were two misconceptions about anime. These include:

- Anime is porn
- All anime is Pokemon, Sailor Moon, DBZ, you name it.

One time I was looking up a CCS website, and one of my non-anime friends peeked. She said, "What are you doing??"

Me: Just surfing the net. =/
Friend #1: *to another friend* She must be looking for those Pokemon stuff. Or Digimon, or whatever they are.

fisah:
LMAO, so true XD Many occursences like that are alot :lol: Once, some idiot gave me a pokemon poster since I was an "obvious fan", the hell? Yeah, since I like anime it means I like pokemon!

I like Digimon though, good anime :XD:

*ahem*

Narrow-minded fools make me laugh....and question the world :lol:

Sakaki:
*** would NEVER EVER compare something like western cartoons with Anime. NEVER!!!! that is (to me) a DOWNRIGHT INSULT.***

Cookie for you for your wonderful rant!
I couldn't agree more.
I went to Best Buy the other day and the Anime DVD's were by American Cartoons!!
Ugh and gag!

That's an insult to Anime and an insult to the seiyuu that work so hard to do what they do. After watching only Anime and no cartoons for about a year now,
I cannot believe how bad American voice actors are. The voices on American cartoons are so bland with no emotion, with none of the little sounds and expressions you hear in Anime.
There is a huge difference between Anime and cartoons. They are absolutely nothing alike.

fisah:
True, cookie for you for your lovely rant as well XD

In anime, everything is taken to account, from the music, to the bgm, eyecatches, characterizations, plot, developement, which it makes it more appealing than cartoons.

I mean, the opening song for cartoons dont even have words sometimes, and if the do, a insturmental version is played for end credits, with not pictures! Theres never eyecatches! The bgm is the same for evrything! The expressions are the same, except its mad, sad, happy. The voices are the same for every expression. From "Hi!" to "What's going on?!" so yeah...cartoons are much different. -_-

when I stumble across some anime being aired on T.V. I watch until I hear the names. if they have American names I change it. that is the sign of a bad dubbed right there. as for the voice actors it depends on the series some series I like and Japanese voices more and some I like the Engish voices more. I wont boycot a show because of a bad voice over. like Rurouni Kenshin. some of the English voices are nice and well....some of them make me want to shoot the TV. but its still a cool show.

ok sorry about that. well I think that for a lot of people it depends of the first anime/manga they see. like if all you'd ever scene was henti then thats all you'd think there was to it, same thing if you saw pokemon. but I feel sorry for the people like that because they don't know what their missing! (thankfully I wasn't like that, the first anime I ever saw was ranma 1/2 and I was 7!)
