Grave of the Boringflies: Japan deserved it. :(

Just kidding though. Japan deserved worse actually, so in a way Grave of the Fireflies is
uplifting because it's a story about how at least not every single man woman and child in Japan
were executed for crimes against humanity.

Ghost in the Panties: Pretentious.

By the way, William Shakespeare would think that Gundumb Wing is a reprehensibly bad show. He
would probably see it as unforgivably hackneyed. I don't know if he would say this before or
after asking you why you watch ridiculous anime crap when American movies are vastly superior in
every way, and William Shakespeare helped to found an evolution of dramatic storytelling that
Japan xenophobically excluded, sticking to their flat exposition, characters standing around
telling each other things that happen instead of things actually happening.

Cowboy Bebop would be an exception of course, but that's because it's "too western" for most anime
fags. :(

You're certainly entitled to your opinion on that.

I found it so. Other people seem to be remarkably fond of it.

Gundam Wing is an angst-o-rific political thing with pretty boys. I
don't consider it great art. I watch it because the boys are pretty
and because I like explosions.

> after asking you why you watch ridiculous anime crap when American movies are vastly superior in
> every way,

Why do I watch ridiculous anime crap? Because I like it. One of the
glories of living in a reasonably free country is that I am
allowed to waste my time with things like purile animated crap aimed
at an audience half my age.

I rather wonder exactly what I'm supposed to get from American movies
like, say, My Big Fat Greek Wedding...

I'm over 30. I'm not married. Therefore, I'm a failure? The
only IMPORTANT role of a woman is to get married and squeeze out the
pups, but they can have jobs to amuse them before they do that.
Women have to kowtow to men to let them make the decisions and feel
IMPORTANT when, in actuality, men are presented with a 'fixed' subset
of data so that they can arrive at the correct decision without any
actual thought and without any possibility of making the wrong
decision? Or maybe I should think that being ethnic is weird and bad
until you accept your ethnicity. Or that it's okay to have hips like
a fishwife as long as you're greek. Or that non-ethnic white-people
are BORING and cold fishes? Possibly I'm supposed to learn that
ethnic minorities have strange rituals and a complete lack of taste
(seen in the bridesmaids dresses)? I'm not sure what I'm supposed to
be getting here that is uplifting and 'better' than Gundam Wing or
Weiss Kreuz or any of the other shit I watch.

Interestingly, I don't go around emailing strangers and telling them
off for what they watch. I just watch what I watch, write my
lame-ass webpages, and quietly live my life. I'm sorry that you find
this disturbing, but it's not illegal. It's not hurting anyone.
It's entirely harmless, occupies my time, and keeps me off the
streets and away from 'normal' people like yourself, good sir.

I rather enjoyed Bebop, actually, both the series and the movie.
I must take issue with your use of the term 'anime fag' though. I
am now and have always been a heterosexual.
