139. Mmmm. Now there's a picture I could stare at for the rest of the day.
141. Wouldn't a lot of animation be considered "glorified cartoons," then? I mean... we're talking anything Disney, Don Bluth, Dreamworks, etc. Pretty much anything animated that got some sort of acclaim, won an Oscar, got a good review.
If you are interested in American animation, does that mean you feel askew from mainstream culture, or is it just because it's Japanese? And if that's the real problem, then what about fans of Asian drama or the BBC? What about fans of foreign films?
I just can't wrap my brain around this secret. I mean, I can understand if it went something along the lines of "I think less of people who are ACTUALLY obsessed with anime (Not interested. Not fans. Obsessed.), think that SUPER-KAWAII-NIHON-JAPAN-DESU-NE is the best thing ever, try to eat everything with chopsticks, and speak broken Japanese all the time," but it's not.
