What if everyone watched anime?
Link | by 遥かレイ on 2005-05-16 17:31:06 (edited 2005-05-16 19:52:30)
I was just wondering, does anyone think anime will ever go mainstream? If it did, would it make a differnce? Would it make things better?
Personally, I don't know.
Sometimes, like when I'm walking past the manga section of the bookstore to find that it has mushroomed in size again, or when I walk past a crowd of screaming fangirls carrying around a million Miroku plushies, I think that pretty much everyone will watch anime someday.
Then there are times when spend half an hour trying to explain someone how to read a manga from left to righ only to have them say "that's wierd" and walk away. Or I might have someone ask me why am I reading so-called "Japanese porno books"(Chobits manga)

It would be a travesty. Like you said, they're too many fangirls and the industry is too saturated as it is. Lower prices would be nice though.

If everyone watches and like anime then the producers will have the incentive to continue making and providing good quality anime. Price might even go cheaper or if might just rise.

I everyone is watching anime?? hmm... that would be great. I mean I wont be the only one in my family and we wont argue with the Tv cause we watch the same stuff... Or if discussing things they wont look at me as if Im from another space...

It would be a good thing =)

It'll be great I guess. It's like culture, in its own way.

1. then no one will still called me kiddy just because i watched too much anime and read too much manga
2. then my friends won't be shy anymore to buy bishoujo anime instead of JAV (and they won't need to push me up front to buy "them" for them)
3. then everyone will understand me when i use "in anime phrases" in my conversations

about "would it make things better?", i don't think so. because truthfully, i think anime is dangerous. when you watched too many of them, you gradually start wishing to live inside that kind of world, anime world.
somewhere along the way, the world inside every anime story became an utopia. if the person is a dreamer, then s/he will spend most of the time dreaming or imagining s/he's in that world. and this is not good.

but of course, anime has it good points. i think everyone here knew already what the good points in anime. if not, you won't watched them until now.

anyway, who called chobits a japanese porno books?
that's hilarious

Then no one would think that anime is all about Sailor Moon or Dragon Ball!

lucky they still know about sailor moon and dragon ball.
in my place, those who are newcomer in anime world only know about Kenshin. they don't have any clue of all anime before Kenshin.

talk to them about Kimba the White Lion or Astro Boy, and their jaw will dropped in confuse

Ack >.< That's worse than I thought.... and I thought Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball were bad.... coz in here they kept showing re-runs of those two and the stupid series are never-ending >< Now they also have Hamutaro, but that's like.... another kiddy show. There are others like Inu Yasha, Megaman, Shaman King and Witch Hunter Robin but they just can't stop doing re-runs so no one's watching them ><

oh...i hate it when they do that. doing re-runs of the same anime. it's really annoying!!! it's probably why i stopped watching dragon ball z. i used to like it and now i just don't watch it anymore!! oh, hamutaro, i thought the hamsters are soo cute!!! lol...

Re: What if everyone watched anime?

Well.... the hamsters were cute, I'll give you that. But the re-runs are just annoying. And sometimes they just annoy me coz there are SO many of them X_X; My puny brain can't keep track.

lol...yes, they are cute!!! but i feel the same way, the re-runs are really annoying. they must be stop!!! it's really annoying watching the same anime all over and over again!!! it makes my head hurt!!

Agreed. It's like.... the story is STUCK in that one spot. The plot never goes on. =/

You know if everyone watched anime that would great bearing in mind they watched good ones. It would be awful if everyone watched and liked bad anime. Could you imagine the horror of people watching anime as bad as the soap operas my sister watches? The storyline of the show never moving on and the dubbing horribly done.
