What do you think of the anime stereotype?

  1. Like people assume that anime is just people with big eyes and spikey hair. I find this rather ignorant. Because for those who actually watch anime yes, there are obviously characters with big eyes but I usually see this on children. When American cartoons etc try to mimic anime it just looks very stereotypical.

  6. The anime stereo type bothers me about the same amount as the role gaming stereo type does.

    But the stereo type is usually supported by idiots that know nothing of the subject and care even less.

    So there is little to gain from getting seriously upset.

    ANTONY:
    Blood and destruction shall be so in use
    And dreadful objects so familiar
    That mothers shall but smile when they behold
    Their infants quarter'd with the hands of war;
    All pity choked with custom of fell deeds:
    And Caesar's spirit, ranging for revenge,
    With Ate by his side come hot from hell,
    Shall in these confines with a monarch's voice
    Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
    That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
    With carrion men, groaning for burial.

  9. The only stereotypes I ever hear are

    a) anime is for little kids

    b) anime is cartoon porn

    both come from people who have either never watch anime, or my friends who like anime, but deny it by saying "I only like dragon ball, saint seiya and/or captain tsubasa"

    so in either case I just ignore them because is people who have no idea what anime is, or are people who have a vague idea of what anime is, but their idea is based on being stuck on almost 30years old anime (and dead genres in either case)

  14. to answer to OP

    I heard the reason behind the "big eyes" in anime is to emphasize on the character's "innocence" <--not a sex metaphor btw

    that and because of their huge interest in the disney characters back in the day. the japanese were interested in the design of disney characters so they tried to copy a similar design to it and thats why they have huge eyes and shtuff
