They are not bad without reasons.(yes, they are psycos but at least you can try to understand them).<BR/>Our culture still thinks animation is basically for kids that´s why the plots are so simple.<BR/><BR/>PD: Thanks for the translation! I don´t consider myself an otaku but If I ever go to Japan to buy anime merchandising like crazy, then I wouldn´t mind being called an otaku:)VrZeldahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15831803379254942627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22588937.post-1148695874140553022006-05-27T11:11:00.000+09:002006-05-27T11:11:00.000+09:00I think what he was saying was that western toons tend to look at good guys and bad guys with a very black and white absoluteism. One is either good, or one is evil, and there is no in-between or redemption for those that are bad. Japanese toons tend to focus a lot on the grey area where people in some contexts can appear to be evil but later come across as good, and at the end of the day it's just different priorities coming into conflict. In that sense, the Japanese are more realistic. Personally, I'd say that comparison was valid between say Disney and Ghibli Studios (Miyazaki), not that I'm one o'dem kureeeezy "otaku" or nuffin mind.Coalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08101273937073395521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22588937.post-1148664531849766022006-05-27T02:28:00.000+09:002006-05-27T02:28:00.000+09:00i disagree with his opinion about American toons.<BR/>and how exactly is anime realistic?<BR/><BR/>then again...these are quote "Otaku" who think anything in Japan is greatUniconoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22588937.post-1148509821692668852006-05-25T07:30:00.000+09:002006-05-25T07:30:00.000+09:00Ha!
