Man, I love how Pokémon is the fall guy of the world of animation.

It does not claim to exist to probe some deeper philosophical plane.  

[Smigg-the-Miserable]

While I will admit that the show did help to introduce anime to a new generation of western children (myself included), it was none the less a blatant cash in/giant advert for the games.

It was s**t.
Nuff said.

O_o I resent the gardening comment! Take it back! (yes I'm bloody late again, damn!) The enjoyment of phallic symbolism, I will let slide. Nothing wrong with a bit of good ol' phallic symbolism.

Someone asked, so I'll confirm - I was indeed Squall at the convention. I can mope with the best of 'em, so it seemed the obvious choice.


To be on topic, I like anime because I'm amazed by the pretty moving colours. Seriously, man, the cooooolours . . . .

Maybe. I don't think that precludes it from being enjoyable.

I disagree.  

[Smigg-the-Miserable]

I found it enjoyable at a younger age, but now find it a bit grating. Maybe it's just because I've gotten older and my tastes have changed, or maybe I'm just a bit of a snob when it comes to things like that.

I remember liking Pokemon . . . but now I find it mostly cheesy. When I first saw the third movie (the one with Entei, forget the full title) I thought it was great. I watched it again recently and I was like 'Cheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!'  

[Angilwingz]

I happen to like Squall, and I used to like pokemon!

And another thing....I guessed right, yay me!!

Ok, fair enough that you dont like Anime. I'm just curious as to why you would be a member of an anime fan community if you're not a fan... Having said that, I suppose Gaia is getting less and less about the anime every day..

Wow, I dont think I've ever seen a thread that's gone so drastically off topic =P  

[Smigg-the-Miserable]

It does seem to have strayed a bit. Someone post a photo quickly before some terrible disaster befalls us!

Alright, just to try and get things back on topic, I present myself on a snowy day.

The scarf has since been replaced by a significantly longer and more awesome one.
