*sigh* why don't people get addicted to anime/manga like they do in Japan?

i think everyone here who hasnt seen anime yet just catigoizes it as cartoons. they make a huge mistake and miss out. i think what we need are some more widespread and major anime movies. that would open the general public up to it more.

and I guess it's up to us to get them addicted, huh?

[Ahiko]

lol yah i guess so, thats a big job though.

[Eyes of Crimson]

yeah it is....
some of my friends say they want to learn how I learned to draw, but then they say they don't like the way I draw anime people.... My thoughts: make up your mind already!!

[Ahiko]

everyone has their own way of learning, im sure they will find their own, me, it takes a LOT :-Xof mistakes, but i usually get the hang of it....

I doubt they'll give anime a chance. Where I live people are very racist. They hate Asian people the most. They hate anime because it comes from Japan and they hate the Japanese because they're Asian. They hate Asians because my classmates are stupid morons that hate things they don't even know about. Stupid red necks.

thats horrible, i didnt think it was that bad anywhere. probably good to have tough skin around there

[Eyes of Crimson]

aww.... racists!! I'm glad I don't live in your area, Ookami-san ><

[sleepybear]

I'm sort of non-anime-ish. Well Myrna, Winnie are kind of converting me hahaha stupid peach girl, why does it have to be so good?! yah anyways, I don't really know anyone at my school that actually makes fun of them. Anime is everywhere! haha okay bye

[M-Chan]

haha thats trueee.. i still have to give you the cds so you can burn me LOVE HINA!! haha.. yes we'll convert you soon enough.. i'll pile you with some of my anime yup yup even if it is a very small collection XD

[Ahiko]

alright, well thats one possibly converted, one down, um, A LOT to go ;D

I do have some non-anime friends but they don't make fun of me or anything; they just don't care about it. I'm trying to get them obsessed with anime but they won't listen. They into teenage stuff like pop music and all those stupid American, expensive clothes!

[Eyes of Crimson]

grr.... how could they not care about anime?! it's one of the greatest things in life - in my opinion

*sigh* teenager stuff.... wasting all those money.... *sigh*

Yes you do. People used put gum in my hair, throw snow balls at me, vandalize my stuff, etc. all because they thought I was Scotish or something. Stupid rumors. Now they leave me alone 'cause they think I'm a goth and I'll kill them if they don't leave me alone.

Anyway, I'm getting off topic. There is an anime group in my school, but everyone hates them and makes fun of them. They hate anyone different, because of skin colour, religion, or even love for Japanese animation.

wellits good to hear your doing better, hope the situation with the anime critics where you live clears up, i mean, what did anime ever do to them?
