I think it's very weird, but I still like the type of "art". I think the shows suck, and I find it weird how Japanese people portray the anime characters as "American" with huge eyes (unlike Japanese people), and usually big breasts (unlike Japanese people). I just think the whole anime/graphic novel thing is too weird. I mean, come on, a lot of anime girls/women have 5-year-old faces with DD breasts! You have to admit that's weird. Yet, it's so damn popular especially among teenage goths. I think what anime has turned into, with all of the "hentai" is a type of rebellion in Japan, knowing that their culture is very "up-tight" and strict. Now, after WWII, Japan is turning out more and more like America. Anyway, don't get me wrong - I have a lot of "manga art" books, but I still think it's very strange. What do you think?

Know what else is weird? The characters have Japanese names and speak Japanese but are all Caucasian! Or sometimes mix. I really haven't seen a single asian character in a anime. Then again I'm not really looking either.

1. You didn't make that clear in your first post.

2. I doubt you've ever been to Japan. No, I know you've never been there.

And I always thought that the reason they have big eyes is because they help show emotion

No, it's because Japanese people wish they had big eyes and big breasts. :) That's how they perceive Americans compared to themselves.

No, because anime is a really broad selection of Japanese animation, that would be like labeling all cartoons or television as weird.

I however think hentai, yaoi, yuri, furries, and fanservice anime is disgusting, and I do not want to get near that stuff.

Nope. I enjoy my anime and manga. I'm not really bothered with the other side of anime. If you don't like it don't look at it. That's what I do. No DG or furries in my dreams.

if this is all talking about hentai then yes that is weird
i used to think it was interesting but then i thought it was a stupid thing that horny japanese men do in they're spare time
now real anime cartoons for kids and adults (bloody action titles) are not weird
i happen to think and japanese cartoons are better than anyone who makes cartoons
it has a much better story most of the time
and i mean come on i'm getting tired of bugs bunny and mickey mouse nowadays aren't you?

The Animes you're talking about with girls that have 5 year old faces and huge breasts is probably hentai. If you really watch Anime, like Gundam SEED, Full Metal Alchemist, and other great Anime like that, girls have natural size breast and look like their age.

It's because she uses some Jutsu to make her look 20. If you had watch one of the episodes, you could see that she turned back to 50 again, and then she turned herself back to 20.

You do know that that is not her real appearance right? (If you are talking about that blond girl who likes to gamble and is a Hokage)

After the fight with Orochimaru (In which she saves Naruto after the guy with glasses almost kills him), you get to see her real appearance (Only her hand though).

Well, most anime contain highly fantastic stories, FMA, Naruto, FMP and Evangelion are good examples, but they are veryy good and after a couple episodes it's probable that you won't stop seeing it until you are done with the whole thing, the styl3 varies with every company, after all it's basically drawing.

Plus I don't care about gigantic breasts.

I actually don't mean to put down anyone/culture or be racist, but honestly, what I've said is how I feel the whole "thing" with anime is. One person said that the bloody, adult animes are not weird - I still think that's weird because things like that are not supposed to be made into a cartoon! Tom and Jerry are supposed to be cartoon, but trying to shoot people, and be on serious "mission" doesn't seem too cartoonish to me. I feel that one of the more "normal" animes are Inu Yasha, because when I've seen it, it's not too serious - it's more like something you watch to relax. But, even that, has some weird characters that, honestly, I couldn't tell whether they were male or female at first, until they talked. There's still a little animal/human character that I still can't tell what gender it is! I know I'm sounding steriotypical, but I have not seen any anime that is good and not weird at the same time! Actually, 2 animes that were good AND not weird were Spirited Away, and Howl's Moving Castle. Well, Howl looked like a woman, but still! :)

Yeah but Tsunade can alter her appearance. She is a master medical specialist after all. Can't expect any less from a drunk gambling hokage eh?

I...try not to indentify myself with Otaku, though. Most "normal" anime involves ridiculous plot points and completely unbelievable characters. I usually just end up liking the exceptions to that.

I enjoy watching anime/reading manga. I also enjoy watching and reading hentai... very much.

I don't think it is weird at all...
