I have known several anti anime websites but they usually turn out to be fake or a joke. But, is this one real? I have taken a look at the front page and it looked fake until I took a look at the forum, and it seems pretty real. I don't really like anti pages as they could lead to flames and protests. I just wish people could leave their antiness to themselves. :?

I think all the comments on the site are fake, cause all the comments have bad comments about anime, while anime fans also would post something there, but I don't read anything positive.

I signed the petition a couple of days back with the following comment:

I fully support you and your laudable goals... to "take the piss out of fanboys", as my friend Steventheeunuch would say.


Yes, it is a joke with the joke being that they know a certain segment of anime fandom would take such a site seriously, so those of us that don't take it seriously can laugh at those who do.

Judging by the agenda/design of the site, i would conclude that some people have waayy too much time on his/her hands. Wink

Hmm. This site makes no sense at all.

First, you have the homepage which blatantly shows its hate for anime, but there's no legitmate argument. They just say "it hurts my eyes and makes me want to puke every time."

On top of that, there are topics in the forum that ask "what's your favorite/worst anime series?"

I don't know if some of those people are totally hypocritical or just plain stupid. Saying you hate anime just because "it ALL sucks" is a worthless and insipid combination of thought, speech, and energy.

It's an intersting site, in that it's funny to read, but also makes me sympathetic towards those misguided people. Weird... Rolling Eyes

I loved Dan and another poster's so much I thought I would quote them

Not only does anime suck, but the retards who call themselves "anime fans" suck even more. Honestly, what kind of moron would waste hundreds of hours maintaining a website about anime? (well, except for anti-anime websites, those are for a righteous cause) What's the point? To interact with even *more* morons and then meet them in those moron-fests know as "cons"? I must have watched over 541 anime series/movies in my life and not even ONE of them was good! So what the hell are those otaku idiots raving about? Are they too blind to realize the crap they are subjecting themselves to? Or is it just inbreeding?

The site was too funny... I had to add my 0.02 worth there as well. Smile

Of course anime sucks. It sucks your time, energy and money away from you. Let us continue to consider the suckage. Let's not forget how much gas it sucks away to travel to places involving anime as well. When going to the store where you buy it, or worse yet, how much gets sucked away when going to a "con". The suckage never ends.

My two cents is this: Once you watch anime you join the dark side. And once your there there's no ever coming back, your sucked into the anime void...lol
That site is funny and amusing. I like there sense of humor.

... This web site rocks. HAHAHAHA, not. All it talks about is how they like to say stuff, how it "wastes stuff" and that they like to swear a lot. Then again, isnt just talking and making that web page just "sucking everything up"?

Very Happy Very Happy

Laughing Iove the "I must have watched over 541 anime" part, it's comedy gold.

While some of the site was really quite humorous, a few of the pro-anime people in the forum made me ashamed to be an otaku. Please people, lighten up. Rolling Eyes Anime is one artform that is not afraid to make fun of itself (as in Gekigengar or Strikeman), so I see no reason to get too mad about it.

I noticed that the word 'Anime' was crossed out at the top of this site, followed by 'Sucks Foundation'. So does that translate to 'Not Anime Sucks Foundation'?

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight...... Confused Please hold me back before I go find this guy who created this site and give him a good Anime slap.

This is so fake, I could puke. Plus anti-stuff sites are a waste of time and possibly money and are usually a way to get attention. Plus, if you think Anime is a waste of time and money, then we'll start telling you that what you do is a waste of time and money. :p

Anime animations, with the usual 5 frames per second, have given me headaches just from the abominable color palette.

I had a good laugh at the sentence above. Rolling Eyes
