Jesus, you guys who have parents that love anime are lucky as shit. My dad thought I was gay when I told him about the anime I watch... My little cousin was like the "Narutards" mentioned until I made him watch up to ep.135 and now he goes to school acting like he is in on something noone else is lol.
ROFL holy shit thats funny. My dad likes anime but doesn't really watch it unless a movie comes on t.v. or something.Quote:

Figure out what kind of movies they like from there just show them similar type anime and they are going to wanna keep watching. For example if they like Harry Potter then Naruto is perfect. Like with my Dad, who thinks he deserves his own tv show critizing movies. I showed him Grave of the Fireflies and the Rurouni Kenshin ovas wich are harcore drama anime. I also recomend Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien and Berserk. Elfen Lied is a little to harcore to be a starer
Well, there were several but the one I was telling him about when he started assuming it was tenchi muyo a while back. I can understand where he is coming from though, I mean being raised like he was, in his eyes "a 20 year old that watches cartoons religiously may be a bit weird" He doesn't like much of anything though. He doesn't think that so much now but at the time he was hellbent on making me do more "Manly" things. lol People react differently to things they don't understand...
Sounds like and episode from The Simpsons LOL but yeah I guess it does sound weird watching cartoons if you're over 20 thats why people refer to it as Anime
Either way though it's the same thing whether you use the euphemism anime or not its still the same thing watching cartoons[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
No, It's not the same because although all anime are cartoons not all cartoons are anime. If you just say "I'm watching cartoons" you lose some precision.
At least, that's my excuse [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
Ya but anime is like a genre of cartoons its still a cartoon its just better [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Anime is not cartoons. Cartoons is something you laugh at and watch just to kill time. Anime is beauty and art. Anime kicks the shit out of cartoons. Anime is not = to cartoons. Anime > Cartoons
Its basically the same...
cartoons is what they call it here
anime is what they call it in japan
they are both thier own animation so chill.
Anime = Anime is a style of animation originating in Japan. Anime is characterized by character and background styles which may be created by hand or may be assisted by computers. Storylines may feature a variety of characters and may be set in different locations and in different eras. Anime is aimed at a broad range of audiences because there are a wide range of different genres that any series may be categorised under. Anime may be broadcast on television, distributed on media, such as DVDs, or published as console and computer games. Anime is often influenced by Japanese comics known as manga. Anime may also be adapted into live action television programs.
Cartoons= Cartoons are simply moving comics, because of the stylistic similarities between comic strips and early animated movies, "cartoon" came to refer to animation, and this is the sense in which "cartoon" is most commonly used today. These are usually shown on television or in cinemas and are created by showing illustrated images in rapid succession to give the impression of movement. In this meaning, the word cartoon is sometimes shortened to toon (which may be a corruption of "Looney Tunes" and was popularized by the movie Who Framed Roger Rabbit). Although the term can be applied to any animated presentation, it is most often used in reference to programs for children, featuring anthropomorphized animals, superheroes, the adventures of child protagonists, and other related genres. Animated material which does not fit the traditional conventions of Western animation, such as Japanese anime can also be called cartoons.
fuck guys, get over it
Seriously man, I don't even LIKE anime.
I'm glad my parents don't like anime, fuckers would keep taking my PC from me.
this link is most neccessary in this thread following the recent bickering
I am Otaku! Hear me roar!
lol I guess I should have specified further. I call it anime, but I just said cartoons because thats what my dad sees it as.
I agree though with the difference in Cartoons and Anime. A cartoon is usually an animated short that has no further plot outside the length of the short itself. Anime though contains a plot and a story that stretches over the entire series. You don't connect to the characters on the same level in cartoons as in anime.
exactly.Quote:
Thats just the thing Assertn, the brats are so full of themselves that they wont admit you know more than them.
having fat 4th graders saying they know everything about naruto because they watched as many videos on google as they could get they snot-ridden fingers on is definetely on my top ten annoyances list.
While I agree that is a good definition to some degree, I could list many anime series that are episodic, and probably even more American cartoons that have overarching storylines.Quote:

I think I would have to kick the kid's face in if he thought he knew more about Naruto than I did, if that kid only watched the CN version. But....on the other hand I would have that kid worship me, if he thought that i was God among Naruto watchers, basically I'd have him go to the store and buy me food, drinks, and whatever I want from computers to shoes.
edit: I'd also make money on betting little kids that I'm right on the Naruto predictions.
Tell me why did that link lead to another link which lead to another link >< "da hell is this ish?" I thought I was going to something intersting but nope, click this link, now this one, now this one, wait one more .. there we go .. guy who wants to be japanese despite being proud for what he is (no matter what that be).Quote:

Sorry I thought that was funny for some reason that I had to click through so many links haha.
Anyhow well I been reading what you guys saying, and yeah kids will be kids. You could know more about a show than a small little kid, but then arguing with them just makes you a little kid yourself (no offence to the lil kids out there, rock on and buy all the stuffs that we older kids will one day make and help us pay for our kids tuitions).

Anyhow I found it funny that when you guys were talking about parents watching anime/caroons n such ... I went to grab dinner and I saw my dad eatting dinner and watching tv (useully sports center or some dvd), but what amazed me this time was ....
he was watching Street Fighter V hahah, hella just threw me off. Then I came in and asked what was going on .. and he just shurgged and watched it for a few minutes. Then he changed the channel cause something on telemundo was on.
For that brief second ... we agreed how crappy that episode was.
God bless father and son momments.
