Anime is Dead

to myself and watch anime by myself. Still, I remember a day when I used
to watch this newsgroup avidly, reading everything. Now I come back for a
bit of nostalgia and I am disgusted. Exactly what I expected: Sailor Moon,
moronic messages (i.e. Black Anime) and messages with HUNDREDS of
responses (Ranma's best babe). It's too bad that everything cool gets
murdered by the mainstream. I was filling out a Right Stuf order form when
this epiphany (Joyce would be proud) came to me. Anime is dead!
Pimple-faced, lame teenagers now are talking about the "cool cartoons"
with the girls with big eyes, talking about how they loved Street Fighter
II and Fatal Fury. The internet used to be real cool, but now we've got a
buch of morons coming from all the mass media attention to the internet.
Same thing is happening with anime. The mainstream society is out to kill
everything that is good, capitalising on all that's great. Fuck. It sucks.
I don't want to wave around 9000 messages, most about mainstream topics,
non-anime, Sailor Moon, etc. Where the fuck did otakuism and anime
obssession encorporated with sexual perversions and frustrated computer
geeks? Now a bunch of fucking jocks are laughing at Ranma. Motherfuckers.
I'm pissed off. Anime is dead. So now, all you fucking lamers, enjoy it.
But I spit on Sailor Moon. And I HOPE that maybe a little bit of anime can
be saved. Fuck the world.

If you want my opinion, it's elitist fucks like you that are killing this
group. People come into this group and post because they have questions,
and maybe instead of bitching about how lame they are, maybe you should
try answering their questions, and making them a little -less- lame.
This is not an english composition course, asshole. If somebody picks a
topic you don't like, it doesn't give you the right to consider them
failures. "a bunch of fucking jocks are laughing at Ranma" Jocks? Moi?
I don't think so. And as for laughing, its a fucking comedy! What do
you want us to do?
Anime is not dead. Anime is popular. You're just so damned proud to be
a fucking rebel, that it pisses you off that anime is no longer your own
little exclusive hobby. It's no longer something you and an elite few
have to yourselves, and now you feel threatened because you've lost
something that you felt made you unique. WAKE THE FUCK UP!! Anime has
become more popular, so it has gained and will continue to gain more
exposure. The more stuff that comes over, the more chance that
-something- will come out that you won't like. Sailor Moon came over.
You and all your whining friends can get over it. I don't like it
either, but I don't force my opinion on people by saying it sucks.
It sounds to me like you've got a serious mad-on for mainstream society,
and that's just really sad. Even those of us who choose not to conform
to the whims of the madmen who decide what 'society' is can afford to
respect it. I don't change my style just because it suddenly becomes
popular. You're pissed off? Well now I'm pissed off. Thank you so
much, now I'm gonna be in a shitty mood for the rest of the day.

(*stuff*)
I'm not a regular to this newsgroup either, but it never fails to
shock me that someone can be so possessive about anime. Anime was meant to be
shared, with everyone(Jocks included). Every single person on this NG heard
about anime from someone else(Unless, of course they were lucky enough to
discover it on their own.) For me, Battle of the Planets was my initiation
into anime(NA, that is) and if I hadn't had the memory sparked by a friend
whose older sister happened to have some Gatchaman eps. on tape, I probably
wouldn't have started watching in the same way(or at the same time.)
With the threat of censorship(which could seriously affect anime fans
in North America) just around the corner, I'm suprised that anyone could
possibly be upset about mainstreaming. All we need is for some government
official to decide that anime is "nothing more than porn" and have it....
well, I don't want to think about the possibilities.
How many other people feel this way? Is anime important to us or not?
Are we not otaku? Then, together as otaku, we'll live again!
P.S. I figured it out. He's an AOL'er!

Allow me to laugh at you for a moment. <snicker>
Get a *GRIP*!
If something is good, I mean *truly* good, it will become popular
eventually. (That doesn't mean that bad things won't become popular, tho.)
And if something becomes popular, the hoi polloi will get into it.
It happens, DEAL WITH IT.
If the grunts annoy you, ignore them. That's what I do nowadays.
Their existence does not change the fact that there are still
really good anime being made. Go watch them, and spare me your
petty angst.

Obviously, you doesn't like the articles of this newsgroup's subscribers.
I recommend that you'd stop messing with the oh-so denyable Usenet.
Supposingly, you have some friends in your neighborhood with
similar hobbies. It might be more satisfying to talk to them
than to get angry against people you doesn't know.
However, I hope your acquaintances can get along with
your disgusting impoliteness.

you watched anime a few months, possibly years before other people, it

about it being so popular anyway, I have friends still in High School,

I'm sorry... but sorry to say anime is not a "cult" or "underground"
thing like you say.
Are you the kind to lock the doors and watch anime by yourself? Or
get pissed when someone next to you don't get the response that you think
is right at that moment?
You're right then... maybe better for you to keep to yourself and
watch anime by yourself... enjoy, and we'll do that our own way, thank

pimply-faced and lame. And yes, they were occasionally teenaged. The
Internet was never cool, except within an irony-laced cull-de-sac best

Okay....uh...has some valid points when you scrape away the
psychotic and absurd garbage that permeates the above letter.
So what if "jocks" laugh at Ranma? So what if kiddies like the
"cartoons with the cute chicks with big eyes"? (That's how I got started,
by the way), so what if "dorks" are now into anime. You know
what....dorks have ALWAYS been into Anime (no flames, please).
But I understand the lamentation. I'm living in NYC now beause I
go to college here. I'm origionally from Philly. I remember thinking
radio stations would kick ass in NYC because it's the largest radio market
in the world. I thought I would have near infinite variety on my dial.
Well I was wrong. NYC radio sucks. The big, top-40 and "alternative"
stations have crowed out the little guy so as there's nothing but
corporate crap wherever you go. I can see that happening to Anime and I
am a little concerned, too. BUT....I realize that:
1)There is and always will be that strong, fan-based core of Otaku
out there who will bring us the good stuff, even when corporations are
giving us crap.
corillary: don't forget, we are bounded by what JAPAN makes for
our Anime over here. If you're pissed at the quality of stuff, you might
just want to consider the source
2) It's just a fucking hobby so get a life. To say "Fuck the
world" because you're a little upset at the fact that LOTS of people like
anime now, is, well, scary. I don't want to see anime fall on it's face
here, but if it does, I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. In fact,
I might just end up with more money in my wallet.

Since they went ahead and changed r.a.a around, it would have been nice to
have put in a section where serious thoughts could be expressed and another
where frivilous, fun thoughts could be expressed. I have nothing against the
"which Ranma babe do you like best" posts, I just hate having to find the
serious posts amoung the fun posts.

flame-trash is usually very simple, and thus easy to
reply to. The added plus of redundancy in thought means
that any response is traveling along well-worn synaptic
paths. It's easy to follow-up on piffle. The difficult
thing, is to intelligently reply to careful, original
thought. It's the difference between typing and writing.

Yeah, really.....I would say %90 of the people I talk to have no
idea what Anime is. Or if they've even heard of it, they say "yeah....that
Japanimation stuff is really weird. Why do they draw their eyes so big?"
Anime still has a long way to go before it's "Mainstream". Don't
worry Nihilis....you're still "alternative" if you watch it now. :-P

In other words you long for the days when the only people who
were into anime _AND_ had internet access were pathetic,
anti-social whining losers like yourself, right? Nuts to you,
go back to your He-Man's Woman-Hater Club and jerk off
with Spanky and the boys.
Sounds like it wasn't anime you enjoyed most, but being
part of some little clique where you could one-up people
by having the most toys (which in those days were straight
information on the shows, scripts, synopses, and multi-generation
copies, in addition to books and merchandise).
Personally, I _like_ most of the developments (though most dubbing still
needs to go up many notches on the quality scale).
For all his professed love of otaku-ness, Mr. Nihilis595 doesn't
seem awfully interested in recruiting new ones. Just because
this also adds to the take-it-or-leave-it set, there's no reason
not to try.
And how the hell can anyone posting from AOL complain
about commercialism?! ( Whoops, that's the key. He's a troll)

Maybe you mean rec.arts.anime is dead?
:Pimple-faced, lame teenagers now are talking about the "cool cartoons"

Are you saying that teenagers used to not have pimples nor be lame?

Mainstreaming is the price you pay for bringing Japanese animation

So there was a time when anime was enjoyed by a group of people who
don't like Sailor Moon or Ranma 1/2, don't discuss the slowly
changing attitudes towards non-Japanese or non-Caucasian characters,
don't have pimples, aren't lame, used to be cool Internet users, had
nothing to do with sex and frustration, aren't jocks, and were never
part of the murderous mainstream?
:I'm pissed off. Anime is dead. So now, all you fucking lamers, enjoy it.
:But I spit on Sailor Moon. And I HOPE that maybe a little bit of anime can
:be saved. Fuck the world.
Sounds like someone who didn't get enough Doraemon in his life!

of a point somewhere in his ramblings. Basicly, marketing departments and producers are the
spawn of satan. We've all seen what happens to anime when people who claim to be "directors"
and "producers" try to make it more marketable. American animation studios are told to "dumb
down" any show that doesn't completely insult the child audience all animation is automatically
considered aimed at in this country. And for those of us who prefer subs, play a nice little
funeral dirge. They aren't marketable according to the prodcer/marketer crowd.
Truth be known the general audience that these marketers and producers aim at must be about as
comprehending as a broken jar of mayo. Does this market really exist? The most popular and
longstanding american animation was written for an adult audience, and yet all animation must
now be censored, sanitized, and altered to better suit the legions of near illeterate children
our society is raising. Some subbing would do the buggers good, so would some complex
storylines and actual character development.

You know, I wanna know where this guy lives. Yousee, everyone who like
anime there is a pimple faced, lame, sexually perverted, stupid, computer
geek jock teenager. Even though that is a contridiction (and a big one).
Evidently, he has perfect complexion, is super cool in everyway, a
genius, computer illiterate, non-jock person who was never a teenager.
Even though that is a contridiction (and a big one). Look, if being being
"altera-cool" is his thing, I wish he would at least go somewhere else to
rave about stuff. I can see why he has never returned here. It's easier
to sit at home, litsen to his cool NIN, "slack", and whine then respond
by argueing a moronic point.
