NEWS: Madhouse to Create 4 Anime with Marvel Comic Heroes

I'm more than willing to check these out. With luck, this will get more people interested in anime in general and, God willing, further push away the "anime is Japanese violent porn toons" image that still haunts us to this day. (If nothing else, it'll bring Madhouse more money which is probably a good thing.)

You're pretty stupid for thinking there are people like that still around. Maybe only 3%... More like, it seems you're eager to prove something that doesn't need proving. In other words...Japanophillia.

Look. Geek culture is the new pop culture. And YES, anime is part of geek culture and more and more people are accepting it as an enjoyable entertainment medium. So quit getting so worked up about it. Only people who think like that are uneducated rednecks and hicks. And they take that approach towards virtually everything...

And you are acting like a douche. She/he just wanted to end that stigma, which while not as strong is still around.

Is anime much more accepted? Yes, but he/she wants more people to be less intimated and or repulsed by our fandom. I still see people on Gaia who have this impression that Anime is rape, disgusting, or silly.

Also, in what way is he/she trying to prove something?

You are using the word Japanophile out of context, btw.

It's definitely within context because what I said is right.

The reason why there is a stigma, is because you made it out to be. Everyday I see and hear people getting bullied at school for their anime fandom. 98%, it's because they act like idiots and wear Naruto headbands to school. You're begging to get shoved in a locker with that.

However, more people starting taking a more intelligent approach towards it's introduction, and those very same people that bully are becoming immersed.

The stigma doesn't come from the haters. It comes from the fans. And rather through fear, the only way to get rid of the stigma is with an intelligent approach.

Somehow, I quite don't think some of you are capable of that.

Wow. This'll be just as good as Gotham Knight... *snort*

So then, really pretty good?

Because Gotham Knight was.
