Longwinded Explaination: Yes, because when people say that they are "an anime fan", people tend to immediately respond with "You mean those violent pornographic cartoons?". It has happened to me on three occasions (twice in best buy while searching the anime rack and once in hastings at the manga rack), and every time I try to explain that not all anime is huge boobs and gore, they roll their eyes and walk off. That's the problem with them. The few bad eggs are totally destroying anime's credibility as an art form as well as a pool for literary advancement. Then again, some people like the huge boob anime, so I can't fault them for that, but the "mainstream" anime shouldn't crowbar it in just for the sake of appealing to the few that do like the boobage. Chrono Crusade and Satella/Rossette is my favorite example of this. Seriously, an anime revolving around Catholic themes (that isn't hentai in nature >_>) should not have nuns OR rich diamond girls with huge knockers.![]()
But what are ya going to do about it. If the anime companies think that huge boobies sell merchandise, then they're going to sell them.
And as a matter of face, huge boobies do sell lots of merchandise, so we might as well get used to it.
As a matter of fact, that has happened to me quite a bit. Whenever I say, "Yeah I like anime." Someone always replies with some crap about "Oh, so you like all that animated porn?" Quite annoying but hey, what should one do about it?
