Okay, I'll admit. I'm a dirty hentai. Granted, I've seen VERY little hentai, but even the worst-drawn stuff is funny to watch.
As for "Serious" films regarding anime, I've seen Akira, Vampire Hunder D, and probably a couple others. Meh. I prefer the newer Japanese Horror Movies sensation. Stuff like Kairo actually freaks me out a bit.
All in all, I actually LIKE Dragon Ball and DBZ. I'm wearing a Dragon Ball Z shirt right now.
There are also Anime influences in western 'toons these days. Hell, look at that weird, hard-to-understand show that MTV once aired with that scantily-clad, super-skinny chick. That show was freaky. Not to mention comics these days. I swear, you open a copy of X-Men up and you can expect to find three things: Japanese art, shitty soap opera, and proessed computer graphics that fit in with the anime art about as well as Johnny Cochrain fits in at a Klan meeting.
Personally, I like anime. I can't say I would spend money on it or anything, but I would like to see original versions of shows like Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and that one about the guy who gets surrounded by a ton of hot alien chicks. There are scenes missing there. Not because we wouldn't understand them, but because this country is prudish enough to freak out about nipples. Well, on women anyway. Not on men, because that would just be ridiculous.
Enough ranting from me.
I'll go stroke to Sailor Moon and Chun Li humping eachother with a double-dildo. Though, you can't see shit because the pubic areas are all blocked, fuzzed, or pixelated out.
What a gyp.
