I think he's an anime fan but just fed up with rabid anime fanboy-ism...

Disgruntled fan.

Seriously I get these every year screaming about comics are dying.

At least he tries to make points, but a few are too biased for their own good.

I think he's just fed up with moron fanboys. I've met my share of otaku, and as some one that's a fan of anime but not really a fanboy, I think most of them are annoying as hell. Some of his points are stupid are stupid and biased but frankly no one's perfect.

With the number of rabid fanwhores on the rise, anime fandom is in desperate need of a good culling.

This is especially important because the Japanese economy has been in a slump for the past decade, and to make up for that lack, anime producers have been looking at tastes across the Pacific, in America, where lies the largest market for animation (and the second largest market for Japanese animation) in the world.

It's the same with any medium, fanatics are simply annoying and often a few fries short of a happy meal.

Great site. I agree with almost all points in there, specially that "anime" are simply cartoons. Cartoons != Mickey Mouse. Cartoons = ANY animated show.

The fanboys screaming "anime isn't cartoons, it is more!" really annoy me.

I'd agree with that to a point.. some animes just stand out more though than mere cartoons a la Simpsons and Kim Possible.

How about "mere" cartoons as Batman, Batman Beyond, and Spawn? Did you miss the point entirely? There's nothing in the dictionary definition of "cartoon" that says "it must not have mature content" or "it cannot come from Japan".

There's also a link to another interesting website: http://www.angelfire.com/geek/tetrisnom ... tions.html

But shouldn't it be the "Amazing Anti-Otaku Site" instead of "Amazing Anti-Anime Site"??

Yes, the name is misleading.

"O-o-one more thing! Jackie Chan Adventures."

Well, it's actually another actor doing his voice, but the storylines and stunts are pure Jackie. I now have nearly all the Eps taed thanks to Fox Kids Easter Fortnight bonanza.

Damn, I wish they'd realize JCA DVD's.

They did, but the distributor was an arsehole. They only realesed 'themed' groupings of shows, and then chopped of the pretitle sequences. Rumours are that Jackie Production company are waiting for that lots licencing to run out and will then handle the DVD side themselves.

In the meantime, I have my tape collection to tide me over.

But how many westerners have even heard of an "otaku"???

I kinda hate the animation though. The fights are way too slow and clumsy. Too many moves but no actual mobility

If you're not an Otaku, or at least know what it means, chances are you couldn't care less about his page anyway.

Please people, stop the huge blocks of quotes!

It put me off at first, hence my having to play catch up after 3 seasons, but it soon becomes subordinate to the characters and the story, so i tend not to notice it now. As to the moblity, it's stared to improve, less stunts happening in one point and more moving 'camera' work. A very nice progression in style and range of stunts over the seasons.

well I keep in just enough stuff to provide context.

It's actually not Jackie's voice for the whole thing. It was probably too much for him to have to do all the English. James Sie also does the voice.

Hehe, and Bender(John DiMaggio) does Hak Foo's voice.
