The Dead-Out: Many dead koalas to see here~

Films are good because: more money.
But tv shows (animation or not) that I actually like are even better in a way, because they last longer.

I'm just trolling GoB

My uncle lives in Japan and he was actually the one that mentioned the business about them calling all animation anime.
Back when I was a kid we all called it Japanimation...that was the accepted term in the west.
Maybe it isn't pc or something now...but people still use (JAP) to identify the source of games and other media so I doubt that would be the reason.

I personally think calling anime that isn't Japanese "anime-influenced animation" is a little silly...but whatever

Yeah, I think it's just due to how widespread Japanese anime became in the West, and they eventually dropped the term Japanimation.

Also for the longest time I didn't know "Jap" was offensive to some, I used it myself thinking it was just an abbreviation.

Actually with the budgets of some TV shows like LOST and Game of thrones that's untrue, budgets don't necessarily a great film make, take the last Pirates of Carribean for example. The reason I prefer them is I think overall I've seen a much greater variation of stories in films than anything else. Like you said the one weakness films have compared to a lot of other media is length of time, tv shows, books & games beat films in that respect that character development can happen more slowly and more realistically since you will notice more subtle changes than what a film can allow for.

It is kinda offensive given its origin. Same as kraut I guess.
But most of the younger people (Japanese/Germans) don't find it offensive.

Also; you don't talk about the war with the older folk


Aussies tend to use little things like "pom" and "yank" at times, but we don't seriously mean it in an offensive way. It's just playful banter.

I was just generalising dude, you know what I meant

COME AT ME BRO.

I barely even watch anime these days, and even the ones I did watch recently were nothing special. I'm hardly an anime fan these days to be quite honest, I just can't find myself be excited about it anymore. Most of them are just too shallow for my taste, and I find more enjoyment in the more detailed/deeper/darker themes found in VNs that aren't held back by the limitations of the anime industry.

"Krautburger" made me laugh out loud in Inglorious Basterds, though.

I use yank myself from time to time, actually. And British slang as well. I just pick up stuff from all over the place.

Where are you atm dude?
You've probably told me before

Started a run of Bugs Bunny. The very first one was black and white from 1938 and Bugs looks nothing like Bugs. He's a little white rabbit. Interesting stuff.

Woody Woodpecker is a cartoon, not a anime

Oh, sorry. I didn't know anime had real actors.

[Zaladane]

Course they do. The voices have to come from somewhere

You hear voices?
