I just wish Spetacular Spider-Man didn't kicked the bucket.

**** ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN. It ain't even related to the comics by barely.

Atleast Live Action Superhero shows exist.

Arrow and Agents of Shield FTW
And Daredevil on Netflix.
Punisher hype for Season 2!

True that. I'm even getting into Gotham as well. Live Action is actually better than Animation, what world is this

Thing is, we wouldn't know if it wouldn't be better if it wasn't cancelled. One of those "Die a Hero or Live long enough to see yourself become the Villain"

Flash and Agent Carter are both better.



(Arrow tries too hard to be Batman without Batman. As for SHIELD I just could care less about Coulson or his vaguely attached to the movie plots.)

I didn't really mean from an objective perspective that everything could be bad in a certain medium. If that's what you were saying was impossible, then I probably agree with you. But I don't think people calling anime trash are arguing that it's literally 100% trash, more that the negatives are significant enough that they outweigh the positives to the degree that it's not worth consuming in its current form, and it is entirely possible that an entire medium could fit into that category in my opinion, though I don't know that I could name anything that does.

But then, the whole thing is honestly subjective because...everybody has different tastes, likes/dislikes, views of what's good/bad. I mean, you said that news is one kind of media that is close to being entirely trash, but there are people who will consume news forever and think that news is good (at least, their personal brand of news, whichever they think is the least biased or what have you). Then there are people who don't care for anime at all, whereas clearly a lot of people here and in other places disagree.
"Anime" isn't a medium
Its Japanese short word for "アニメーション = animation."
Americans took the word and made it a genre/medium/term because americans are to lazy to call it japanese animation

Japanese animation is no different from western cartoons. It's all just animation.
People who trash it are generally ignorant. They usually use that generic "anime" art style as an argument since they aren't as educated on it. Of course they bring up Studio Ghilbi/ or Miyazaki up as a saving figure lol.

Which of these are considered "anime"

All of them are.
Can list tons more if you want.

I can also make an argument that all american cartoons are all the same.
They all have same flat stiff art style with no expressions, limited backgrounds and animation, no expressive freedom, done in flash,they all have bathroom humor, and they all look like this:

We're getting an SFV announcement soon.
While Vega killed every other text leak out there, Siliconera's is still hanging by a thread, so this could be the break it or make it moment.

Isn't that whole "anime is trash" thing just lifted straight from the whole Miyazaki meme?
Yup:
Also this:


So imagine my amusement and delight to see the entire thread derailed into argumenting about anime for hours because no one had the awareness to pick up on @Burb quoting an obvious meme.

I say "anime belongs in the trash".

People proceed to quote my post and give a serious rebuttal.
Seeing everyone take it seriously made my sides rupture.

Thanks for the laughs.

Anime is a big miss steak


What did the Siliconera leak entail, again? Can't find it.
That Alex, Urien, Karin and R.Mika were in the game.

If you go to their site and search "Street fighter" you'll be sure to find the articles on it.

They don't really say much other than "its happening pls trust us we leaked ff7 remake"

To be fair - and I say this as a long-time anime watcher who has seen literally hundreds of series - a lot of anime really does belong in the trash. But that's true for any medium.

...What prompted this? I already said I wasn't trashing anime and I'm well aware of what anime is, I had my middle school anime obsession phase. Whether or not it's "technically" a medium is...irrelevant? That wasn't the purpose of my response to J.B. at all. I was just using the same terminology that J.B. used so I'm...confused as to why this is getting aimed at me.

And people, spoiler your large images. We already gave you the new rules and I'm trying to be lenient while you adjust but if it fills up half a page it really shouldn't just be slapped on without a spoiler.

I understand you were involved in an explicit conversation about whether or not it was serious, but I don't think it was intended to be aimed only at you, since a bunch of people took up discussion of the issue. Also for the record, my comment was made before Burb said it himself, so I wasn't intending to pile it on nor was that aimed at you.

Still, fair point; it has been established the original comment came from the meme, but things already played out from there regardless so let's move on.

Wasn't aimed at anyone in particular. Just thought the direction the thread turned was humorous.


"Anime" isn't a medium
Anime is just animation in Japan.

Therefore, the animation is the medium, while comedy, horror, romance, action, etc are the genres.

Anime may be a catchphrase to easily distinguish animation from a certain section of the world (in this case, japan), but it is certainly a medium in the same vein that american cartoons/animation is a medium. What else can it be?
