Now you're just ignoring yourself m8. ...No I'm not? How is pointing out that having a story doesn't make an anime unique?
Because it doesn't.
I can get stories literally everywhere else.
So you can't use it as an example.
Well yeah, you kind of were since you specifically mentioned shared elements and then proceeded to pull out elements that aren't shared by all mediums when it was pointed out that in regards to what you mentioned those things can be found across almost all forms of media and aren't exclusive to one or the other. I never said anime was unique in that department. I'm saying that you can't use the fact that you can't get anything in anime that you can't get anywhere else in that department isn't a negative because the reverse is also true. We're speaking objectively here on shared elements. Not personal opinions. But we're basically going in a never ending circle here bucko.

]Aside from that, I also vote that we stop with the insults and name calling. There is no need for that.
Legit, I'm going to start handing out warnings if you guys don't stop.
I'm surprised Verb hasn't gotten any in his history of being here
He's had plenty. He's had one recently (like yesterday or something )
How long before he is perma'd?
idk
you get blacklisted at 200%
Not true. Blacklists are on a case by case basis, someone could easily pass 200 on minor offences like spam and not be blacklisted. They'll see increasingly long ban or warn times per violation, but it's hard to imagine someone getting perma'd for spam unless it was someone who's sole objective was to spam pages of shit and had no desire to do anything else. However this is offtopic and you people should get back to discussing your polish videogames.

I'm asking what anime has that other forms of media do not. Books, movies, and anime all have stories, themes, messages, and writing.
there isn't anything that other forms of media have that anime doesn't have either in that department.
Now you're just ignoring yourself m8.

What you should instead be comparing them on are things that they have in common, such as the story, theme, message, writing, et cetera. But that's not MY point. I'm asking what anime has that other forms of media do not. Books, movies, and anime all have stories, themes, messages, and writing.
And I've said that there really isn't, but there isn't anything that other forms of media have that anime doesn't have either in that department. Which doesn't really make it a negative since it's just another medium to convey a story or message through. Some people prefer one type of medium other another. For example I absolutely hate modern art, I think it's trash. That doesn't mean that it's objectively shit and there's no reason for anybody to enjoy it though. Nor does the fact that there's nothing in modern art that I can't get out of any other form of art in the art gallery necessarily mean that modern art is worse than say a collection of nice paintings or drawings. No one in here is saying you have to like anime. It's absolutely fine if you hate it, there are lots of people who hate it. Just like there are lots of people who hate video games and books.

This is why I'm saying you're trying to box me in.
I'm saying that there's NOTHING in anime that I can't get anywhere else, which is a fact. You're saying there's nothing in other media that I can't get in anime. So when I provide you reasons why that's bullshit, you say, "that doesn't count."
You're hung up on anime when that was irrelevant to what I was saying. I could replace anime with literature in this instance and still make the same point. It's silly to judge the quality and worth of something based on its level of interactivity when comparing an interactive form of media and a non interactive form of media. What you should instead be comparing them on are things that they have in common, such as the story, theme, message, writing, et cetera. For example, if we were to compare the Harry Potter or LOTR books to their movies we wouldn't compare them on the basis of which one had better actors, special effects, and choreography. We'd judge them based on something like which was better at conveying the story. Granted those are adaptations so it's not quiet the same, but it's close enough to easily illustrate my point. If you'd like you could replace them with A Farewell to Arms vs Citizen Kane.

If you're going to be pedantic then we could say you're comparing a hippo to a firetruck on the basis of which one is the best African mammal. Which is a garbage analogy, because hippos are animals, and firetrucks are not.
Video games are media, and so is anime.
It was meant to be silly m8. Byrne did get the reference though.

Your chocolate vs chocolate comparison would only be apt if you were comparing two alike things like say COD and Battlefield. What you're doing right now is comparing a potato to an ice cream sundae. I don't even see the problem with that. There are advantages of potatoes over ice cream, too. As a vegan, I'm gonna pick the potato, because ice cream is not vegan. That's something potatoes have over ice cream, and it's demonstrable.
It's not an unfair comparison.

No I really wasn't... I don't know how you came to that conclusion. Your chocolate vs chocolate comparison would only be apt if you were comparing two alike things like say COD and Battlefield. What you're doing right now is comparing a potato to an ice cream sundae.

well, my whole point was that i can't get anything in anime that i can't get anywhere else, and i get so much more out of it
now you're just excluding those things because that's apparently "unfair"
according to you, i have to enjoy anime
no, the fact that video games have that edge over anime makes it more appealing to me, more fulfilling to me, more entertaining for me than any anime could ever possibly achieve
I never once said you have to enjoy it... If you like video games more that's fine, but comparing a non interactive medium to an interactive one on the basis of interactivity is actually pretty unfair.

the only aspect of the medium that defines anime is that it's a cartoon from japan
that's it
they don't HAVE to use the same art style over and over, but they do
As someone who loves animation and as watched a lot of both western and eastern animation I can really see where you're coming from and western animation has the same issue. If you follow animation back through each era each one tends to have a distinct style or trend that is followed by the majority of whats out there. So at a casual glance it really does tend to look the same, however those who watch a lot of animation will notice the different take on those styles and trends by different studios. Western animation might be worse off in this regard currently due to the trend of making everything CG which ends up making everything even more samey looking due to the lack of direct human input on the product.

Well I wasn't really including videogames i was
that's kinda specifically why i mentioned them
it is an entertainment medium
Yeah, but their interactive nature makes them different than literature or any one of the various non interactive visual mediums. You could also use that interactivity as a ding against books or live action movies as well, and it's not really fair to do so as video games are inherently different than just about every other form of media due to that interactivity.

there's nothing anywhere else that you can't get in anime i can interact with a video game
if japanese games could be considered anime, then i guess that's my favorite form of anime
but the last time i called japanese games anime, the last time i even entertained the possibility, i received what was possibly the biggest sperg out i have ever seen on the internet from some crazed weeaboo
Well I wasn't really including videogames in that since those are another beast entirely due to their interactive nature.

M8, it's just another medium to convey a story in. Sometimes anime is better at conveying a story, message, or theme better than live action, sometimes live action is better at conveying a story, message, or theme better than anime. For many anime tends to be the middle ground between what's typically seen in western animation and what's seen in live action in terms of the content typically provided.
Anime is typically more willing to tackle a more complex narrative or mature themes than western animation and the nature of medium allows you more creative freedom than you have with live action. For those who are fans of animation, it's nice to get something other than the light hearted stories and often nonsensical humor that's primarily aimed at children that's typically found in western animation. Of course there are always exceptions, but that tends to be the general trend with western animation.
There's nothing there that you can't get anywhere else really, but there's nothing anywhere else that you can't get in anime so there's no reason to try and push that as some sort of negative.
