If it's good, quoth the critics, it ain't genre, it's literature.

I'll have to disagree, why does something need to be regarded as good to make itself a valid art medium? I'm not really sure how anime/manga is regarded as a nation in Japan (outside that it is large enough to be intergrated in their culture), because I don't live there, but given that they seem to acknowledge that children isn't their only target audience and that family-friendly stories isn't their only portrayal, I can deduct it fairs better than North America. But even if Japan looks down on it, or even with NA having the whole social belief that cartoons are only for kids, it really shouldn't invalidated as a form of media.

Point is, there's nothing wrong with preferring books over film or comics, but that doesn't mean it's less of a story telling medium as any other.

(and just another note--just because there are some series that are loudly popular doesn't mean there is a lack of thoughtful or deep stories in anime/manga. It's as diverse as Hollywood. If you are curious I can give you a whole list of reccomendations easily.)

*shrugs* It's not me you're arguing with. I was merely articulating a reason for disliking anime that isn't racism. I suppose some would say that it falls under the close-minded bracket. Others would say not. Myself, I don't think there is anything about the form of manga or anime that intrinsically prevents them from being a medium for good art.

Oh was that it? Then it was my misunderstanding, ha XD Sorry for that
