Posted by arren18 on 07.27.2013, 08:35 AM: Yeah, I feel like it's rather odd behaviour for a big fan to be pestering somebody to pirate a film - even if it is just the audio.

Posted by Saddletank on 07.27.2013, 10:35 AM: Best not to ask for weird illegal stuff like that again. I know we all know it goes on but just asking blatantly about it was pretty odd, especially coming from someone like you who gives the impression they have high moral standards.

Posted by husky51 on 07.28.2013, 09:06 PM: No, I don't believe so. There was distinct reference to Akihabara in these films. |
Posted by saviour2012 on 07.29.2013, 01:27 AM: i think if i talk about cuteness it will not be offtopic. as anime tend to emphasize on it a lot. i think cuteness is inherently a property or characteristic of small kids. A small puppy, kitty even a baby tiger looks cute but when they grow older they dont. so i absolutely do not like the idea of artificially making older girls look younger than their age to make them look cute. because i think they dont like that in real life[please do not bring the cosmetic or plastic surgery]. and cute is not just for girls, a baby regardless of gender looks cute. but it seems to me that artificially beautification is done only to girls. which is another aspect of the thing, i said in a earlier time that fanservice is way too common is these anime. i really do not understand the term fetish you guys said.i would say it passive pervert-ism a term that i feel westerns have coined to somehow legalize their view over these things to their conscience. Overall i think even if it looks great it has a market i do not feel it is necessary to do that.you do not need to say woman are imperfect and you have a fantasy about them and you will like them to be the way you want. if you can not visualize or accept a human being in this case a woman the way she is, i think it is quite sad. Japanese anime artists are not understanding that fact atleast most of them but i found some to be quite different i we keep the ghibli aside, we have millennium actress and so many other films that accepts a person how they are naturally. but my problem is that is not what normal people usually get. I think this japanese anime culture has a bad impact on overall mental health of people. at least i think that from anime forums and facebook pages.

Posted by Kazegami on 07.29.2013, 03:24 AM: I disagree. Because, as usual, people know how separate fantasy from reality. They may like anime girls, but they also know that they are unrealistically thin and pretty, and in the end, nothing more than animations on a screen. I love anime with lots of beautiful boys in it, but I know I'm never going to find anyone in real life who looks like them. And I'm fine with that, since I'm more than capable of being attracted to real boys as well as the ones on the screen. Sure, there will always be a couple of weird individuals who want their partner to be just like an anime character, but they're a minority so small that they're not even worth discussing. In the main, people understand perfectly well that real men and women don't look like they do in anime.

Posted by arren18 on 07.29.2013, 04:12 AM: Like Kaz says, people that do think that way are a small minority (though often exaggerated in Japanese media) but it is true that there are some complex issues around ideas about cuteness. However, it sounds to me like saviour is attributing this to anime, whereas in reality the root cause lies elsewhere, and anime is just one example of it. Besides, the fact remains that animation isn't realistic, and most people do realise that.

Posted by Saddletank on 07.29.2013, 07:38 AM: Fantasy worlds and escapism are not a bad thing. There's much good in a person with a busy life to stop and set time aside to let their mind escape into a made up world. Books, poetry, music, film, TV, looking at fine art, and anime all give that necessary escape. I think those things are actually essential for a person to remain balanced and sane.
