"5. there's good anime and there's bad anime, just like every other genre in entertainment."

agree completely.. unfortunatly theres an overhwelmingly larger amount of bad anime than good anime...

"4. same arguement as above... there's good hentai and bad hentai, just like there's good porn and bad porn. well, most porn is bad, just because of its nature, it forcuses on fucking and less on plot. most hentai actually focuses on plot and adds the sex for... well, sex is great."

Hentai sucks regardless of anything.

3". see, these are called SERIES... we have SERIES on DVD in america too with just as many discs... valid reasons for having less episodes on discs/tapes... translation times - most companies can't afford to dub or sub an entire series before releasing it. animations costs - its really expensive to produce most of these series and in order to recoup the expense, an american distributer has to stretch the discs a bit."

Sadly though nearly EVERY fucking anime comes in a series of 30 minute tapes that cost too damn much.... making anime suck donkey cock.

"2. personally i like subtitles, since they usually include cultural information that might not be apparent to foreigners. dubs can be good too. i suppose it all comes down to who you hear the characters as first."

subs eat shit... if i wanted to read microfont all day long and not be able to watch the film id just go to Xanga.com and laugh my ass off over there.. Dubs suck almost always..making almost all dubbed anime total dog shit.... the speech is quirky and jerky at best, making the character sound and look stupid...

"1. perhaps you're watching the wrong films. a good deal of the movies I have are at LEAST 75 minutes, normally around 90+..."

I worked in a video store for 2 years... ive seen a LOT of anime... sadly it sucks ass... its a genre that should be stopped... and the japanese people who forgoe real professions like... i dunno proctology should shoot themselves in the head... especially since theyd be so good at that profession they go thier heads up thier asses....
