Yeah, Boogiepop Phantom takes about 8 episodes to make sense, since there isn't even a main character until then (sort of). I didn't know Watanabe was onto another series, that's awesome. Oh, also, another reason why Boogiepop is sort of weird is because the anime series is like a very small piece of the manga, taken from the middle of the entire plot line, but it turns out to be really cool, and the name eventually makes sense.

Please don't confuse well done animation with a 'cartoon'.

Cartoon, implies 'for children' which is DEFINATLY not the case for what we were talking about ... I wouldn't want my kids watching Ghost in the Shell until they were older (if I had any), since it has massive amounts of gore and violence, not to mention nudity ... and all at the same time at points.

And yes, it is something you can argue over, how is it any different when arguing over films? Does it make the subject matter minute simply because the medium has changed to animation? No.

It's the same as someone writing a novel, or directing a film (or play), it has some meaning. No medium in the entertainment industry has no relevance and is something that should be regarded as remedial. Even cartoons have meaning (Watch interviews with Chuck Jones ... He put a hell of a lot of himself into the characters he created).

Not that I'm lashing out at you, Orph. I'm just tired of hearing people (in general) belittle a form of expression and entertainment because of a stereotype (I hear it all the time regarding comic books and anime). [addsig]

dumb comment from Orph, too, considering he's a grown man who spends his time mapping & playing video games. OMFG AREN'T GAMES FOR KIDS?!

call it ignorant jinx, or nothing at all.. dumb is what you said.. there is adult entertainment, and child entertainment, be it gaming, or video.

if i confused your cartoons with anything other than cartoons, it was due to ignorance..

next time.. think before you be an asshole, i think my question was innocent and valid.

you owe me an apology, cause THIS is EXACTLY how misunderstandings and flames occur, when people call people dumb.

really, there is a distinction dave..??

i still say, my comment was innocent, and worded as such.

i say dumb s**t all the time around here, i do not demand apologies every day, this situation is different because the topic doesn't have knowledge stemming from both parties, i asked a question, it was NOT a dumb one.

Orph, I think what he was getting at was that in your question you looked down upon this form of entertainment (that is the way it came off).

And it was rather offensive to be honest. I don't think your question was dumb, however, and no offense, I do think it was rather arrogant.

It would be the same if you were talking to someone, 'debating', which is a better video game: HL or Hitman, for example, and some other person coming up and saying:

"excuse me, but you guys are not seriously debating the value of video games are you???"

I mean, you'd probably take offense in some way or another. Imagine if it was your job or something as such. (Also, I know your question seems out of context here, but it did when you asked it as well).

I'm not picking on your or anything, but that was just how I perceived your question, as I'm sure Jinx did. [addsig]

Of course. Clever people can say dumb things. You chose to decide that he called you dumb when this wasn't the case. Then you called him an asshole.

Keep going anyway, sure beats reading irc conversations... [addsig]

jinx, knows me longer, i expect more from him than you, tis why i omitted you from this discussion.

you used the word "probably" take offense.. the answer truly would read, i would not find offense at all.. my wife tells me daily how childish pc games are.. i take no notice.

jinx on the other hand, was being an ass..but there again, i know jinx and its second nature to him..

my claim of ignorance is valid, and i feel it prudent in this situation.

i insist on this distinction, and as such it warrants an apology.

you and jinx, just better be glad i like you so much else i might have taken you up on this suggestion

jinxy is one of my favored, tis why i get so annoyed when he applies his idiocy toward me.. he should, by now, recognize when i am being rude, and when i am indeed ignorant and asking a legit question..

go back, re-read my first comment, with your newly acquired knowledge of my ignorance, between the distinctions of animated art.

then tell me if i was being rude or not... till then this discussion is moot, and not worthy of further discussion.

I wasn't being an asshole, I was being a smart ass, there's a difference. Besides, you were the one making fun of us! What do you expect us to do, take it lying down?

but you took my reply wwwwaaaayyyy too seriously, Orph, I was just teasing you back .

Well this turned out to be the most popular thread I have started myself in ages, and zero posts have anything to do with my initial one
