Like take a look at some Japanese/Korean Live action shows (it was against my will) and you'll see that they really arent much different to anime.It's a cultural thing.Except none of the weebs on here are from Asia.And if they're just enthusiastic about Asian media then why wouldn't they watch the live action shows?i watch a lot of live action kaiju movies and more traditional asian cinema in addition to anime. none of the live action tv shows ive tried to watch make much sense due to cultural barriers but there are some exceptions like the original ninja warrior

Different strokes for different folks. 90% of everything is shit so just like with live action the trick is finding the stuff that isn't. For every Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones there's a thousand TMZ and brain dead reality TV clones. For every Kara no Kyoukai or Ghost in the Shell there's a thousand kawaii uguu moe and T&A fan service fests.But as I said earlier, not everyone is going to like the same thing so it's no big deal if you just aren't into something.
I get that some of you really like it. I just see cartoons. Some well drawn, others meh. But just cartoons. On top of this there's a giant cultural barrier that prevents me from really getting half the material. Overall I prefer other forms of entertainment. Might be just me.

Also Fist of the North Star. But those are old. I really tried recent anime. It was just weird. No knock against people who like it. Just not for me.

I like Afro Samurai. That was cool... But not really anime from what I've heard.

Maybe we'll watch other or Kill la Kill tomorrow.
Quote from: Caped Baldy on March 23, 2016, 12:10:48 PMMaybe we'll watch other or Kill la Kill tomorrow.What can you learn from KLK other than obscene fanservice left and right?
All the popular ones, I just couldn't get into.
FMA was literally the only Anime that I was able to watch more than an episode or 2 of. Believe me, I've tried. Naturo, DMZ, Bleach, ect. All the popular ones, I just couldn't get into.
I don't understand Anime.
