Are you the only one here that...?

But what random people do with anime -or any other thing- shouldn't affect you at all.

Are you gonna start hating horror games just because someone made a bad one?



The static-ness in anime you mention is just for some animes that don't need it cause it's more about content than frames per second.

Most of animes are like deep novels in which drawing is secondary. And if it were acted with real persons, it wouldn't be as good.

Maybe because how the drawing style allows the characters to better express emotions.



I think you're just not watching the correct ones, ergo you're missing epic animes, sir.

If horror games were affecting every second game ever made by a potentially skilled person, if every second person that decide to try developing games was copying that one horror game we've all seen a billion times - then yes, I probably would.
Imo, the drawing style in anime does exactly the opposite - it suppresses visual emotion. A lot. Compared to western and European animation, it's very stiff. If that's what you meant.

So you like the animation and artstyle over story? I must agree with you in some sort, animes are getting repetive and lazily made, but not all, there's still a lot good series airing with good art and good animation, take bakemonogatari for instance.

It must have one of the most unique art styles anime ever had.

You're just being too narrow minded in my opinion.

Why can't we have both? There have many animated features with an amazing story and amazing visuals. I don't see why we have to sacrifice one for the other.
Yes, like said, I know there are really interesting styles, there are really original stories too. I have a few favorites, some of them have the most boring design imaginable and I enjoyed them a lot (Natsume's book of friends, i.e.), but on average? I can't say that the stories are something really that special. Not -bad-, just I wouldn't watch even if they were live action., CGI, etc. Maybe that's because I'm extremely picky..
