AHHHH!! TechTV = Teh Stupid!

Post by Brolli411 » Tue Dec 24, 2002 2:36 pm

THOES FOOLS! Here is a quote from the TechTV anime unleashed web site:
You can call it anime. Please don't call it Japanimation. (It's considered vulgar.) It's all just cartoons. Oh, but what glorious, wondrous, evolved cartoons. "Anime Unleashed" will bring you some of the best ever produced. Look back here for details on what's coming up and when you can see it.
It's all cartoons. They shail burn in hell.

Catoons are Ok, but Japanimation is not? Someone's on drugs.

Japanimation or Anime?
We prefer that people use the word "Anime" over the word "Japanimation". The word Japanimation is still used by video and catalogue stores, but we would like to eventually see most of these change to the word "Anime" as this later word has become generally accepted by both fans and media. While Japanimation is obviously an amalgamation of the word Japan and Animation, and no harm was intended in its initial use, it is too easy for the word to slide into being pronounced as "Jap-Animation". The word Jap is a racial slur, thus we ask folks to use the word anime. Anime is a better word to use anyway as it is the word the japanese use for "Animation." Thus, it only seems logical that an organization that promotes Japanese Animation would use the word its creators use.
Anyways, some Anime programs are cartoons, not all of them, but I would consider most programs designed for teen/pre-teen audiences to be anime cartoons. Out of their selected programs, I'd probably be willing to accept Dual as being classed as a cartoon. Lain, Betterman, Silent Mobius, and Crest of the Stars...eh...I'd rather they just call them animation or anime. But really, I more concerned about how they present them on TV in terms of editting, etc, then what they call them.

Oh shut up all you anime is the french word for animation. Cartoons are animation so hence cartoons are anime and vice versa. What the hell I think Japanimation sounds kinda cool.

WWWWWWHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO CARES?!

Seriously, if any of you actually care if its called Anime, or japanamation, or cartoons, then seriously, just fucking kill yourself, because youre retarded. Youre all just has bad has those PC nutjobs who think changing the name of something is gonna magically make it better or worse. Even those defending the use of the word cartoon with your fancy ass associative math property we all learned in basic Geometry need to just shut up and stop caring so much. You can call Anime "faggot crap" for all I care, it wont change the fact that some of its amazing, and some of it really sucks. Whatever word you use, it is just a name for a very broad catagory of Movies and TV that are animated, nothing more.
