Well guys look at it this way.
Anime is this overiding,overhyped tidalwave.
Ever since Astroboy. Much of the anime I've seen has
at best especially recent bad. At worst just outright
stinks.
Also look at it this way.
What's a name? Anime. You always expect good of it.
The titles of favorite cartoons over the past 25 years
or so. Many of them have been anime.
The current generation. Many of these youngs kids
wouldn't even remember or know many of the old
american cartoons from yesteryear.
Sadly I read a journal from Tamar and he's right.
If you ask any young potential art student to come up
with their own charater and they would look at you
blank.
You ask them to draw an anime charater and they would
do it. But their own they be "I don't know".
You're right des and I do agree with you.
