Do you remember the last time you walked by somebody wearing a T-shirt of their favorite Japanese cartoon character, and you thought to yourself, “what a loser?” Maybe you aren’t one of those terribly quick judges of human behavior and you think to yourself, “Oh, that guy watches cartoons…kind of childish but I guess that is cool.”
To you, I speak out.
When was the last time that you watched a Japanese Anime—other than advertisements for Pokemon or Dragon-Ball Z? Or have you ever? Have you ever been to Asia? Probably not. Then you don’t realize the world that they grew up to live in is just like a cartoon. Everything advertised in Asia is done through animation. Newspapers, hair products, foot gels, etc. Their “cartoons” are adult story lines put to animation. Even modern literature is all drawn out in comic book style. What is your favorite movie? Imagine it animated, and you now have what most Americans will judge to be a stupid cartoon.
TO THE END WITH IT.
Yeah, I watch anime. I am proud of it. What do you do in your free time? Work on your muscles? Beat another man down in football (wearing pads, because it would hurt you too much if you didn’t—which is ironically making you a girl anyway)? Try to twist one more time to a hip-hop- beat? Run a lap in record time? Think about all of your hobbies—they are just as pitifully stupid in the eyes of anybody else as watching anime is to you. You would rightfully desire to defend your hobbies too right? Well then, no more bashing the anime watchers.
