That alone is hilarious! I love that one!

Well...basically anyone who claims to know a great deal of Anime by basing the series on the American released episodes alone.

The States tends to edit so much...that making the two lesbian lovers(Tenoh Haruka and Kaoiah Michiru)out to be COUSINS...was beyond abhorrent. Truly ridiculous to do something like that.

Also...those that do think that a great deal of Anime is pornographic...and the fact that there are so many ignorant individuals out there who refuse to acknowledge the fact that times are changing and so are people and storylines to that effect. Adding some risque material to an Anime won't hurt it. That series alone may get more attention from those who feel left out due to their own sexual preferenecs and feelings. A lot of human beings wish and long to be accepted and when I watched Sailor Moon in all it's lesbian overtones...I was incredibly happy!

Now...*Hentai*..that is another story. Some find it awful and some actually like it. Depending on the subject matter...I enjoy it actually. Only one field that I do not enjoy and that is the Sci-Fi aspect of it(you know...the tentacle bit).

Not all Anime is pornographic.

Plus...too many are basing Anime on what the United States will show on Cartoon Network or 'The Anime Network'. One is better off buying the DVD's and following the storylines from there. They edit so much here in the States...that one cannot truly follow the characters background to fully understand their "angst" or "pain".

Sorry. I went on for a bit there. Woops!

I also hate the total opposite of that: when people don't take anime seriously enough because they think it's for kids. I wanna strap these people in chairs and make them watch Gantz.

In terms of anime, i hate it when Animes contain fillers, has a really bad ending, or completely avoids the manga storyline (which is usually better).
