		<description>i was a big lan event just a few months ago, and there i was sitting next to a guy with a big-ass 32 lcd screen for a monitor(besides, we where sitting at the end of the row next to the energy drink shop, so it was packed all the time)

within 2 minutes i could clearly see that he wasnt shamed on his obsession of loli porn. cus i looked trough them all day long and showed other peoples the very worst samples of loli porn he used to wacks off to....

even his mother knows that he jacks off to that shit.

but i heard that his mother one day saw how MUCH loli porn he had in his TB hdd, and kicked him out of the house... :/

i felt like he deserved it... for being so damn proud of his damn loli porn</description>

		<description>My response to this. Not directed at anyone personally, don&#039;t take it personal.

Anime and I, a personal explanation

I am a Christian, my immediate family is Christian and I plan to marry a Christian woman. I also happen to love and enjoy certain animes, Japanese RPGS and some mangas. Does this make me bad? In terms of society I should be defined, due to my upbringing and common misconceptions, I am supposed to be gay (strict upbringing you see), live in a closet, and never have girls notice me. Not to mention pedophilia and we can&#039;t forget the fact that I have no life. Not to mention spend tons of money to spend on such things, a geeky computer job (THAT&#039;S true) and a Ph.D. in hacking, programing and D&amp;D

I tell you, most of that is severely mistaken. I am relatively attractive and had girls ask for my phone number. I am most certainly not gay, and I happen to enjoy dodge ball, watch popular movies like th Chronicles of Narnia and I read heavily. Despite have around 70 gigs of Anime on my computers. I have such masterpieces as Kanon, and Death Note, as well as Fansubbed One Piece and Naruto. It is all a matter of how you see the time you have and how you spend it doing what you love to do.

I do have a life. Its not the same as the jocks who belittle me and yet respect me for my intelligence, if begrudgingly. Nor is it the same as the partier, who will die of an STD or something similarly avoidable and stupid without changing their life style. Thinking about injuries that could be sustained and other such hazards. My life style, that of a Christian computer and anime lover, is a most safe, comfortable, and intellectually challenging life style. I intend to raise my children according to how I was raised, spankings for what it deserves, and leading my house.

As for my own interests, no one, NO ONE, can deny the fact they enjoy watching, or listening to something that is not enriching to our daily lives. I, like many, many others, enjoy games, and the many things that follow. Though, I abhor such games as conker&#039;s bad fur day, Dead or Alive and its series, I dislike in the extreme excessive fan service, Hentai both excites me and makes me sick. To the point of me desiring to kill those who make while at the same time wanting more.

I actually find that I need anime now. I need to SEE something fantastic, amusing. I enjoy reading and watching fantasies, I love to find a new book that, though it be girly (my sister&#039;s definition, not mine) or overly fantastic. I love to get my mind around how the light saber functions, or how gundam&#039;s really function, mechanically, that is. I don&#039;t mind being stereotyped, I use stereotypes on others, its only fair. But when prejudices arise, and I constantly fight them because of the (my view of...) stupidity and utter lawlessness that I see in my (black mostly, but some white, but mostly black I&#039;m afraid) classmates, even though older versions of them I have every respect for.

Now, for my view of the culture today, that is, the culture of instant gratification and selfishness that has perverted the younger generation and has sadly cut down severely the amount of girls I would consider worthy (My views, not yours, remember!) enough to be pursued. I hate &quot;Free love&quot; I hate &quot;Acceptance for everyone&quot; I HATE &quot;Peace&quot; d*** &quot;peace&quot;! Peace makes people fat, lazy and soft. Enemies make people look, listen not grow complacent. Anime is one of those things that promotes this (as such, I particularly enjoy Gundam 00) peace, and the desires of peace are noble, but misguided. How do you sustain it? What if one enemy escapes? One person can overthrow nobility, can kill a president.

Anime is escapism, I admit, but its pretty darn good escapism. I look at the world. I see evil, accepted evil, misguided  and I see generosity towards those who are dying and those who are killing those who espouse the beliefs I would die for given a chance, I am not a pessimist, but it must sound like it. Then I look at anime. I see nobility, sleeved evil, betrayal, complex plot, I see the accepted evil, but it is still that, YOU CAN TELL!!! I see people with pure hearts that it hurts myself to know that I have lost that a long time ago. As much as I dislike in the extreme, I can&#039;t bear without the world and all it encompasses. Anime being part of it.

I think I&#039;ve deviated quite a bit from my original purpose, but that doesn&#039;t really matter when you love something doesn&#039;t? I feel that anime is harmless according to what your view is of life. Like my Christian &quot;Absolute Moral Justice&quot; (that of, I take things according to my own definitions, then I follow them without fail, usually indistinguishable with...) or my father&#039;s &quot;Absolute Justice&quot; (that of Evil is Evil and cannot be accepted as legitamate. And this includes everything that is questionable) or someone else&#039;s own personal definition, anime is what YOU view it as. Simple, right?

No, no it isn&#039;t, but does it really matter? I abhor the idea of hentai and such, and my code of justice does not allow me to watch it. People watch it, destroy their souls. People also decide that people like me have a chance to be gay and have pedophilia on top of it... I&#039;m sorry to say, generally, especially in the ancient world, gays WERE pedophiles. And I dare you to research it. And I believe that the same hold true today. People try to define evil very carefully, that is my point. Anime is not evil, a gun is not evil, until some evil holds it, then it kills. Anime to me is an enjoyment, an escapism that is perfectly legitimate.

Wow, it felt good to right this, don&#039;t take anything personally.</description>

		<description>Wtf, All americans arent fat, its more 49-51, 51 on not. And i like anime and manga for a hobby, but i dont think i&#039;m better then other people for it. In my opinion though, manga is better then romance novels. I don&#039;t like sports, and people dislike me for that, while the truth is i could beat the shit out of them, and yet they treat me like trash cause i hate football(boring). But i&#039;m proud to be american and im proud to like anime and manga. I dont like otaku&#039;s because, well, they do need to find something else to do, like go outside and do something. If you are an otaku, its your choice, i just think you need to scale your obsession down a bit.</description>

		<description>&quot;That description of Australia can be easily modified to fit other Western countries such as America and Britain. Replace rugby with gridiron and BBQ with 3 burgers, 2 large fries, a bucket of fried chicken and 20 tacos per person and you pretty much have a description of American society.&quot;

Oh man, I laughed so hard at that line!  And yes, I am an American.

...eh, what&#039;s that?  No, not Brazil, I&#039;m from the United States!  xP</description>

		<description>I&#039;d say anime is less accepted because of it&#039;s differences. Think of your typical non-animated movie. Certainly there&#039;s the life impacting movies, the crap movies, movies of men and woman naked, and everything in between. So why is anime so less accepted? Shouldn&#039;t hentai be releatively more accepted than real woman nude, because the former is only a set of pixels, and therefore isn&#039;t a actual nude person? It appears however, that this is actually the opposite of the truth. Can people really be so mentally ill that they would be more offended by some drawing than a real person&#039;s nudity? 

Yes. People today think a assortment of creased surfaces colored with liquid on par, if not more unacceptable in media, then a nude person posing in a movie. I find that a bit... sad. &gt;_&gt;

The proof? Anime isn&#039;t flooding in our market right now, similar to Japan. 

However, the stereotypes that exist will begin to show the truth in time. America will be more tolerant in the future. I predict that by say, 2020-30,because of  the things I say above and below this message, the factor called &quot;time&quot; will make anime very popular in America. 

In fact, you may want to disregard everything I just said. As time goes on, . As time goes on, anime will become more solidified in our lifes. As time goes on, we will have mistakes to learn from. As time goes on, in short, we are naturally inclined to having anime become a big thing in the states. It may create some new names. Things may happen. But we are getting more and more open to the world, allowing views to be more apparent. That is by the cause of time. 

In time, I believe anime will reach the states in it&#039;s true form. People may be going crazy over Mickey Mouse collectables now, so what would they say when they see true awesomeness? Anime has a lot a potental in the states that is left untouched. 

I personally think anime has a bright horizon ahead of us. However, there will be a wait. I await the day where I can throw away all my fansub use forever in favor for T.V broadcasts. I would not mind any dub if I knew the original company who created the anime worked together with the dubbers so that a desirable result comes out of it. (1. If any anime is like this right now tell me, I want to buy the dub 2. Otherwise, I can be hopeful right? x_X)</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;d say anime is less accepted because of it&#8217;s differences. Think of your typical non-animated movie. Certainly there&#8217;s the life impacting movies, the crap movies, movies of men and woman naked, and everything in between. So why is anime so less accepted? Shouldn&#8217;t hentai be releatively more accepted than real woman nude, because the former is only a set of pixels, and therefore isn&#8217;t a actual nude person? It appears however, that this is actually the opposite of the truth. Can people really be so mentally ill that they would be more offended by some drawing than a real person&#8217;s nudity? </p>
<p>Yes. People today think a assortment of creased surfaces colored with liquid on par, if not more unacceptable in media, then a nude person posing in a movie. I find that a bit&#8230; sad. &gt;_&gt;</p>
<p>The proof? Anime isn&#8217;t flooding in our market right now, similar to Japan. </p>
<p>However, the stereotypes that exist will begin to show the truth in time. America will be more tolerant in the future. I predict that by say, 2020-30,because of  the things I say above and below this message, the factor called &#8220;time&#8221; will make anime very popular in America. </p>
<p>In fact, you may want to disregard everything I just said. As time goes on, . As time goes on, anime will become more solidified in our lifes. As time goes on, we will have mistakes to learn from. As time goes on, in short, we are naturally inclined to having anime become a big thing in the states. It may create some new names. Things may happen. But we are getting more and more open to the world, allowing views to be more apparent. That is by the cause of time. </p>
<p>In time, I believe anime will reach the states in it&#8217;s true form. People may be going crazy over Mickey Mouse collectables now, so what would they say when they see true awesomeness? Anime has a lot a potental in the states that is left untouched. </p>
<p>I personally think anime has a bright horizon ahead of us. However, there will be a wait. I await the day where I can throw away all my fansub use forever in favor for T.V broadcasts. I would not mind any dub if I knew the original company who created the anime worked together with the dubbers so that a desirable result comes out of it. (1.

		<description>Yeah, I am proud to watch anime. Thank You.

Am also proud to be a fan of Battlestar Galactica and the Sci Fi channel.

Have read all of the Potter books, as well as Tolkien, Asimov, Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Poe. I&#039;m a major book whore and am proud that I can read faster than I can run. 

Have never been good at sports and have a thriving Boys&#039;Love manga collection.

I&#039;m proud to be an Elite Otaku Nerd, prouder even that I still enjoy Shakespeare, more for the violence and the cross-dressing and the mindless anime it has spawned. Also I still like Pokemon, hurray for I!</description>

		<description>@Lupus

To nitpick a bit more...isn&#039;t the term football and/or footy used for Rugby League while rugby is used for Rugby Union?  I am more familiar with Union play, so I forgot that Australia has a large League following.</description>

		<description>They must have failed, but they exist. The commercial success has nothing to do with the quality of the product. Go and ask Sega about that. :)

And for every The Simpsons are thirty ... I dont know... ¿Ben 10?

Saying that the animation is for kids is like saying that the movies are for kids and teenagers. For every good movie are thirty Spidermans, Hulks, Transformers, Pearl Harbors, etc, etc.

Broad generalization always bring misconception.

PD: Gantz deserved to fail, even with high quality source material Gonzo managed to ruin the story with their mediocre original content. Sad.

PD2: I dont know if being proud, but for god sake, dont hide in shame for watching anime o reading manga.</description>
