Other people's misconceptions about anime/manga

Hopefully, that will either a), scare the person off and make me look slightly cooler/creepier/wittier/funnier in the eyes of my current audience, or, uh... Well, yeah. I feel secure enough that I quite frankly care not about what other people think, especially if they're so close-minded. Or if they think 'gay' is an insult.

Ha! Love this part.
I like the way you think, Koolsnowball!

One thing, and I hate to admit this, but I used to think like all of those people. You watch Pokemon, and you are watching anime. And I used to like Pokemon, but not anymore. Here's what my dad tells me about Japanese Anime:
I will get off of work, where he'll pick me up, and I'll say, "Konbanwa," everytime. He'll then tell me, "Why are you talking like that?" and I'll tell him, "Because I like talking Japanese," and then he'll say,
"I'd wish you would grow up already and stop watching that Cardcaptors! You're talking like a kid!"
Now tell me, how is learning a new culture and language acting like a little kid? And what really burns me is how he always calls my beloved Card Captor Sakura Cardcaptors! :angry: That gets me fuming everytime!
I'll then have a rant and tell him, "First off, Otou-san (I always emphasize this) it is not Cardcaptors! It's Card Captor Sakura! And secondly, Otou-san, how is learning another language acting like a child?! How many children do you know are fluent in Japanese?!" He'll give unintelligable mutterings, and be quiet for the rest of the ride home.
That's how I get my point across, and when that doesn't work, I'll start swearing and giving insults in Japanese. Since they don't like anime, chances are, they won't know what the he** I'm talking about, and then they give up and leave me alone! Works everytime!

but... speaking japanese is kinda childish... especially when your not technically learning it, like it would be better if you could of said all that you said to him IN JAPANESE.
and calling Card Captor Sakura, Cardcaptors is fine, its just a shortened easier way of finding it, your just finding things to fight with him about.
and uh.. Pokémon is an Animé... when did it not become one?

The changing of OP/ED songs are for licensing reason AKA money to pay the artists. Some costs more.
