[quote=@Mardox] Yes, Japanese imperialism has certainly been avenged by tainting our entertainment industry with anime. I mean really, what is the appeal of anime? The emotions are exaggerated to the point of deadening my sympathy and empathy. The children's anime is all a similar plotline and the rest is either oversexualized or bland obsession with violence. (Note that some exceptions may be out there. ) [/quote] I can explain in two words why people are so obsessed with anime. Underaged upskirts. I don't like anime because the above isn't my type of thing. Because I prefer to take my sexualized entertainment in the form of copious lesbianism, I prefer American serial dramas.
