RESPECT to our "anime" years, times have changed, people have chanced, the TV has changed, everything have changed.
Indeed today animated series vary from childish non brainers to series of gore and maybe even hardcore porn, def adressed to adults only.
Animated series can be used as a vehicle to translate on screen, fantasies and ideas than a normal film with real actors couldnt (so far).
Thats why it was mostly used as a host to unreal worlds and unrealistic symbolic/iconic characters. Characters created to attract children's fantasy, being much more distinguishable than any real life actor.
Therefore "anime" has been attached the non realistic and immature label.
Modern day children are forced to mature much sooner than normally, the whole society pushes them to grow u faster, many of them are so much stressed with that, they grow to detest any kind of attachment with the classic interests of children. They are taught to become mature-like persons and our society rewards for this try. No matter if they really are mature or not.
This is a clear example of our society clearing up the symptoms and not the cause.
Childhood is treated as a disease and the faster a child gets ridden of her, the better for him!!
Well time will tell if this tactic will have any positive results to the new generations,
the first specimen seemed to be narrow-minded and one sided, they give little value to moral values and they live for and judge everything on the material dimension.
These characters serve our materialistic world and are very one-dimensional, therefore they feel the need to prove themselves and sacrifice everything in the race of competition, in a desperate effort to prove they are different/better.
We will see if these efforts will collapse on them, or not by the years...
As far as i am concerned, anime years are over for me, i still respect my childhood though. I see no reason to hate animes and disrespect a person, only because he finds an interest on them.
I would watch again an anime film like Lion King and Beowulf any day instead of a "real" film like "meet the spartans" and "sex in the city"
and i would def rate the first two films despite them, being anime and def much more mature-rated !
G.I.Joe is another favorite series, victim of this desperate effort wrap up everything with the mature cover and let it empty inside, just look at my avatar and tell me you that recognize, that this is Snake eyes!!
This is a crime, those people vandalize the innocence of children and rush the natural spiritual growth of human maturity and integrity.
Just like they do with the mutated plants and hormone enhanced animals, we are breeding for consume...
