Because she isn't sure how popular it is in the US? Do people, let alone casual fans? Or can only estimate in relative terms? It was definitely popular in Canada.
Good sleuthing, Sherlock. |

@enurtsol - That picture of Kirsten Dunst made my freakin' day. She's too adorable!
Yes, THIS. Kudos to fans who have an encyclopedic knowledge of anime, but that doesn't make a person a "true anime fan". If any kind of anime brings joy to a person, that's enough reason for me to consider them a fellow anime fan. It's hard to gauge Megan Fox's knowledge of anime from one interview, but even if she isn't as knowledgeable as some of us, there's no reason for people to be so skeptical of her interests. She may know very little about anime, but if she loves what she knows, then more power to her.
I'm not a huge fan of Megan Fox but my opinion of her improved when I read about her anime interests a while back. Apparently, she's actually a bit of a shut in who enjoys watching anime and playing computer games (which is probably why she stays out of the gossip mags as someone stated earlier). I found that really endearing and relatable. |

Indeed. I, personally, think it's actually pretty cool that she likes anime, or at least the mainstream ones. |

If someone that didn't have a clue about Gundam asked me about it, Pacific Rim would likely be one of the things I bring up to try and describe it, along with maybe Voltron and Evangelion. Doesn't mean they're the same exact thing.
For the most part this is true, and Ms. Fox isn't running her mouth in these interviews saying she's a master anime fan that knows more about anime than any other fan out there, so I don't have a problem with it. I do think it's cool she is a fan and knows of these properties. |

I cosplay as Indiana Jones on a daily basis, so I wear mine before, during, and after. I'm also thinking of putting together a Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu cosplay, and he just so happens to be depicted with a fedora in promo art. That said, I'm not a big fan of Megan Fox either, but I really do think you're all ragging on her too much. Good for her that she likes anime. Now let's go back to ignoring her like we usually do. |

What is with you Evatologist a-holes who can't accept that Gundam is one of the influences for Pacific Rim? ANN even wrote a story with a link where GDT himself says as such. You're just bitter because your emo porn mass-merchandise show has become a joke, and no one cares about it any more.

It sound like the certain titles she was exposed to, she liked. Cool. I can sleep better at night.
Also I see that any woman in a yellow jacket is instantly April O'Neil. |

The second I saw the thread title I knew there was gonna be a bunch of whining and petty insults thrown around in this thread. "EEEW, Megan Fox, TRUE FANS, Hollywood, they ruin everything, anime fans have standards." So I stayed away. Heaven forbid someone shows interest without being judged. Those nasty, nasty casuals. Especially if they're Hollywood.
I like hearing when someone else enjoys something I do, especially in a realm of entertainment that's niche. It's a connection. I'm happy with the amount of people arguing back. Thank you, reasonable fandom. This is one of the reasons why I still choose to hang out at ANN. |

Just cause it was influenced by it doesn't mean it's anything like it, though Most western media influenced by Japanese media don't really capture the essence of what they're borrowing from. At the end of the day these works are written by Americans and oozing with American sensibilities and aesthetics. |

Keep her talking. Every time she opens her mouth she shows the world how dumb she is.
Gundam Wing is nothing like Pacific Rim. And Wing is over, why do you think Sunrise keeps returning to Universal Century Gundam. |

I've just heard that Megan Fox would say that she wouldn't mind a live-action version of "Sailor Moon" or "Gundam Wing." Like her,I have no problem with them doing those sort of projects myself. Just as long as it's handled well,I don't see what the big deal is. I don't know if any of those things will see the light of day,but it'll be interesting to see.

Except Pacific Rim is like Gundam in that the Coyote Tango and the Guntank have the same shoulder canons. The more you know...
