I think high production value anime is under rated. Clips inside.

These are just some clips off the top of my head that I think into this idea of anime not having to be solely about over the top imaginary monsters and robots that appeal only to a select few. Granted some anime out there is about giant robots and is still bad ass, but the sterotypical nerdy anime with characters with green hair and such is just too much for me to get into. I find myself able to get into anime with a higher production valve and a decent script even though there is a fair amount of stigma that clouds public thought on anime as being "one dimensional and for nerds". For instance, you look at what a samurai anime can be compared to its live action counterpart and you can realize that there is far less limitation with animation as compared to live action. In japan i know that alot of these movies have a larger budget than their live action counterparts.

By no means would i consider myself an anime fan, but i do enjoy watching a handful of japanese animation movies. I do not follow anime in any sense so im not a master on the subject.

Thoughts? suggestions?

i don't get why some people hate on others that like anime, it's just another style of story telling in this day and age.

the 3rd clip reminds me of Dual

The fighting stuff is boring to me. It's just action like any other movie.

However, I LOVE Miyazaki's films.

thank you for posting this. It has confirmed my previous thought of the fact you are borderline mentally handicapped without a cnn news story in front of your face. Turns out that the trendy love for the cccp shit is far nerdy then anime, but do carry on as i see plenty of pseudo intellectual folk wearing the almighty "hammer and sickle" t shirts around university blocks in the city. Youre not original and its not groundbreaking, and quite frankly the political standpoint it held will never survive.... Now why dont you go occupy something like a farmers field a few km out of the city. Thanks for contributing this conversation.

As previously mentioned, im not really an anime fan but i do carry a healthy dose of respect to the animation in itself. If you want to hate on anime fans you best look at yourself in the mirror you fucking hipster.
