4. ME TOO
OH GOD ME TOO

ARGH HE'S SO HOT <33

7. I completely, completely agree. It especially makes me mad because lots of the Naruto fans I know only care about super popular anime, then act like they know EVERYTHING, and yet they don't even know what fucking Akira is.

It especially sucks when you hate Naruto and the anime you really love (Tenchi Muyo, Evangelion, Sailor Moon) go completely unnoticed by a huge chunk of the Naruto (and other popular anime) fans just because-god forbid-they're old. It grates my nerves so much.

It's not like I hate popular anime, that has nothing to do with it. I personally adore Fullmetal Alchemist, for instance. What gets to me is how ignorant a lot of the fans of the more popular anime are.

I try really hard to not act like an elitist because my favorite shows happen to be older, but I can't help but be disgusted by how blind they are to how much the stuff they loved has been influenced by older shows (that really deserve love). There's nothing wrong with the shows of today being influenced by older shows, hell, that's to be expected. And it's fine. But I feel like the fans should know that. =/

If, for instance, you don't know who Hayao Miyazaki is, please open your eyes and realize that anime exists beyond what showed last night on Cartoon Network.

(note: this doesn't apply so much to the internet as it does to people I meet IRL.)

I WENT OFF ON A TANGENT SORRY D: srsly that was way tl;dr

There are people who don't know who Hayao Miyazaki is. *shock* That's like not knowing who Osamu Tezuka is. WHAT.

I'm more surprised about Miyazaki than Tezuka, because Miyazaki works have been out in theaters here. But with either of them, never having heard of them seems to be more of an issue of knowing the person and not recalling the name. Or having stumbled on their work without knowing who it was. I mean, it's pretty hard to avoid knowledge of them entirely, even among people with no particular interest in anime (I think at least 70% of the general public has at least heard of Spirited Away or Astro Boy).
