Personally I'm okay with words changing over time. It can be an anime in my books!

That and Mariachi are awesome except when they sing a song that when translated means something along the lines of "how hot your daughter is" at a birthday, intending to have a joke at the attendees and their parent's expense, unaware that said parents are actually Hispanic missionaries and understand every word, and had asked for Mariachi because they actually like Mariachi music.

That and Captain Picard is too bald for this shit.

this will sound like an odd comment but, seems they did well on the costumes atleast

In the past 3 days I've watched Seasons 1 and 2.

I feel clean.

Funka Genocide · 07-03-2010, 07:17 PM

Ok so I watched it.

I just wish that I could be angry that you guys didn't warn me. But you did! You freakin' did!

Fuck that was god awful. I don't even understand why. The acting, the pacing, the casting... everything was a pile of shit burnt to a crisp, re-ingested and then shat out by the flaming bowels of demon-zombies!

(sorry, just read like 5000 pages of Berserk.)

The only thing good about it was the special effects. Even the so called martial arts were a waste of time.

What really threw me off, even more than the atrociously one dimensional dialogue, was the pacing. Like one minute they're digging Aang out of a snow globe and then not 5 seconds later the eskimo kid is in love with some ice princess who then needs to kill herself for a fish god. Literally, it felt like 5 minutes had passed, no character development or depth was engendered, just like someone was spitting out horrendously driven plot-vomit.

Is the series really any good? Because the thing I saw was an abomination before all gods.

The series is absolutely amazing. Watch the first season, at the very least.

Well, unless it's a widespread meme, I kind of have to make an educated guess.

The kinda person who, in order to be taken all serious, 90's style, refuses to call comics comics or cartoons cartoons so people won't associate their Gost in the Shell with Bugs Bunny. Thusly, every single Comic they read is a graphic novel no matter how much it's really a comic, and every cartoon is an "Animated feature film".

Lithp · 07-03-2010, 11:57 PM

No, I'm just saying, if we're going to be specific & say that Avatar "can't be an anime because it's not from Japan," then we have to accept that it's also not a cartoon because it has a serious plotline. So, then, if you want to be technical, then what is it? Animation? Western animation? Animated program? Animated drama? Or perhaps anime doesn't necessarily mean "from Japan"?

This gets into semantics, words changing over time, & all sorts of sticky arguments. So...I'm really okay with people calling it what they want. Me? I'm partial to the term "western anime."

But somehow "cartoon" despite being used thusly all the time, is not acceptable because it's associated with humorous imagery?
