Welcome to Gaia! ::

Some music to listen to while reading this post.

*Please rise for the SGU (Sniper Game University) professor of Anime, Mr. Vlad D. Tepes*

All anime is not created equal.

Some ooze of fanservice, showing more breasts than your local KFC.

Some are modern renditions of classics, that lose the appeal of the original.

Some focus on Moe, but have just too much moe to be taken seriously.

Some are part of a franchise which, in contrast, is worse than the original show.

All anime are different.

Yes, the very existance of anime is discrimatory!

Thait is why there are flamewars, fanboys/girls and unrest!

Saying that all anime is not equal is not evil, saying that it is all equal, is.

What happened to Gundam, which started the real robot revolution? It now relies on pretty boys with Gundams with tremendous amounts of guns! Plus most of the cast is absolutely horny!

While some shows have just have enough Moe, there are some shows with moe that can question a man's sexuality!

But some anime is different! Some try to evolve with the the times and not rely on Bishonen and fanservice!

There is proof that there is some sign of a better future for anime!

Shows shuch as K-on, Macross Frontier, and Madoka Magica are signs that the world of Anime is evolving!

Fight! For the future of Anime lies in those who watch it!!!

ALL HAIL ANIMETANIA!

Parody of the speech from Code Geass aside, It has come to me that some of you are not "Educated" about anime, and consider what is crap to be good, and what is good crap. Therefore, I shall give lessons, on certain kinds of anime, and give some recomendations. You, the reader are free to give your opinion, since it is neither right nor wrong.

See in you class soon!

Not Moe, Moe.

Moe (Pronounced mo-eh) is basically the fetishization of the adorable.

Take, for example, Chiyo-chan from Azumanga Daioh.

"Cooking is so fun!"
Look at how cute she is.

Then, imagine someone sexed her up a little. Gave her small breasts and made her accidentally flash her panties. That would be considered moe.

It's kind of creepy, to say the least.

Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.





that is all

goddamnit internet quit fetishizing everything sad

Lesson 1: OLDER ANIME'S NOT THAT BAD YOU GUYS

Okay, I remember in the past that there have been those that mention that they do not like older anime. Mainly becuase the characters do not have the "Anime Look". Where are all the bishonen (Abnormally pretty men)? The lolis (Younger girls in anime, usually in their early teens)? The yanderes (Girls who start of as sweet and adorable, but end up batshit insane when her boyfriend leaves her)?

Perhaps some might think that older anime is scary, or much less awesome. I am here to argue that this is, at most time not the case. An example we have here, is of a Giant Robot anime, which is nowadays known for it's appearence in the video game series Super Robot Wars, Daitarn 3. Here is a picture of it's pilot.

That is one swave fella! He almost seems like James Bond, don't you think? Well, he is considered by many to be the anime James Bond. And in Super Robot Wars, his legend continues with moments Such as this. He is the epitome of smug, and he's only 16!

Leaves you interested huh? Well, ther may be other gems that you might be able to find.
