Why do you hate capital letters?

Personne ne s'attend a la langue francaise!

Nobody expects the French language!

You are proud of displaying ignorance ?

In case of Japanese anime, yes

 

[Akka]

In case of Japanese anime, yes

Well, there's no accounting for taste.

Your loss

 

[Danielion]

No, and I am proud of it.

You aren't missing a lot.

In all seriousness. The greatest recent fad in Japanese seems to revolve around some animated figure, with a synthesised voice. This seems to attract lots of fans who go and watch 'its' projector shows.

I mean... WTH?

 

[red_elk]

Parade of perversion.
There are much better stuff though, such as Kurosawa movies and some cartoons of Miyazaki.

 

[Hygro]

Yeah for every weird Japanese video you pull I can show you a weird American one.

What the hell is wrong with these people? Anyway, what I hate more are Westerners who fetishize this.

Ummm... what?
It's just foreign to you. If you speak it, it isn't really fast.

Dear god what did I just watch

A very biased selection of the worst things you can find in japanese, so as to imply that everything from there is of the same level.

Agreed. Watch this instead (regrettably it's in English, but it's still a masterpiece nonetheless):

I include crying and shouting of small children in various animes. I remember "my neighbour totoro" where such children realy made me mad.

This is probably some westernized version. Good movie though.
I'd recommend to watch this:

Dang that looks epic..

 

[Verbose]

Dang that looks epic..

Something like 20 000 extras in costume iirc...

 

[Akka]

1400, which is quite a lot already.

 

[red_elk]

Very good classic movie, watched it by occasion on TV several years ago.

 

[Danielion]

I have good memories of some animes. Like for instance the Dutch-Japanese 'Alfred Jodocus Kwak':

Or the Franco-Japanese 'Les Mystérieuses Cités d'Or':

Definitely agree. Kurosawa is also called the 'most Western of the Japanese directors', though. His 'Seven Samurai' and his 'Tora! Tora! Tora!' are my favourites.
