i can tell horus hates this thread by the name of it
I don't hate anime by default, as that is a dangerous position considering my lifelong love of things like
Transformers, which whilst not
technically anime, aren't far off.
However. What I absolutely
despise with the dark hatred of a cluster of imploding black holes about anime is two fold.
1. The incredible and extreme levels of anthropomorphism abound. i.e., fucking catgirls and the like, bloody furries, and by extension (for lack of a better term) 'mechropomorphism', battleship/fighteraircraft-girls. Weebs of the Earth, WHY?! please explain this to me. There are more than enough actual, real and incredibly beautiful actual women in the real world, without fantasising about one with dog ears or has an 18" triple turret on her shoulder.
And if you can't find any or need help, I'll be more than willing to steer you onto the right path. And Altair as well. He's french and has
great taste.
2. Over-powered 90lb japanese schoolgirls. Look, I get it, the shows aren't supposed to be real and aimed at school boys so the age range is a bit limited.
But for fuck sake, the schoolgirls are
generic as fuck. Skinny, whiney children making noises whilst powersliding a Tiger tank, my suspension of reality can only go so far and I honestly have problems telling the crews apart. Have you ever wondered why they
always wear the same clothes episode to episode?
Cos if they changed outfits, you'd confuse them with each other.
Why not, and I'm just spitballing here, create actual characters beyond skinny school girls with family issues? Ones that actually look like they can operate, maintain and fight in 60t armoured vehicles.
If that is beyond the writers and character designers, then you need to hire new ones.
And if you have to make your WWII era tank fly to make your tank fights exciting, then you are talentless hacks that have no idea how combat works and need to get yourself a proper technical director in.
