103
What about someone believes firmly in the rule that 95% of everything is awful, and that the number can be extended to 98% or higher in the case of anime?
What about someone who's been shown several episodes of various popular shows, and considers them about as puerile as western TV generally is?
Anime can produce masterpieces, but it very rarely does. Live-action film has a better track record - not because it's better on average, but because there's more of it, and so there's a higher chance of seeing some stray bit of genius shooting past the edge of the bell curve. There's just not enough anime for it to have a Casablanca, The Godfather, The Dead, or, for that matter, Young Frankenstein.
That we have Grave of the Fireflies is impressive enough, really.

Well, you can't change a curmudgeon. *shrug*
Silliness aside, you raise an interesting point. Why can people only fall into the categories of liking or disliking anime? There's no gradation there. Kind of reinforces the idea that fandom is inherently divisive rather than inclusive, imho.
There's a lot more live-action film masterpieces because anime is a much younger medium. Give it time, I think. (Though to be totally fair, a distinction needs to be drawn between film anime and television anime, since film and tv are inherently different mediums. This raises a whole other set of problems, of course, which I'm not really prepared to deal with, intellectually.)
I'm a bit curious about what you like (other than Grave of the Fireflies, which I can't watch because I bawl my way through it) and what you dislike. What are your thoughts on Miyazaki? Cowboy Bebop?
