Anime/Manga Section

Mecha wrote:

TRF, out of all people you should know how different anime is to Hollywood films. It's like having a PS3/Xbox 360 section. Both are gaming consoles, but with different audiences. Same goes to anime and movies as well.

So you are saying, the anime isnt a string of moving pictures accompanied by sound? That is like saying a BMW isnt a car.

:jackie:

I thought I made it clear =/

While anime and movies are similar forms of entertainment, they both still have different audiences. Same goes for PS3 and Xbox 360. They're both gaming consoles, but they both have a different fan base.

No, we don't need more sections that won't even get that many posts.

Just make a discussion thead in one of the off-topic sections or something.

Oh and Um yea if you decide to spam the forums with random suggestive content that you call "anime" I will delete the threads and ban you. Not saying you are spamming, but just don't try it.

What the hell was up with the OP pic anyway? Are you really trying to persuade people to have anime sections by weirding them out?

I'm not going to spam the forum, so relax. But don't complain if I post something weird. Serioulsy a anime/manga section would be more active than a lot of the sections we already have here.

CC, the reason we have PS3 and 360 separated is not because they have different audiences, because when it comes to this site, they don't. They're separated because this is primarily a gaming site so the gaming forums are more specific. M&T, Art, Off-Topic, Debate Section, Rants, Music, etc. are all after-thoughts and are secondary to the main function of the site.

Oh, and by the way:

Ghost in the Shell - 94%
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence - 65%
Spirited Away - 97%
Howl's Moving Castle - 86%
Ponyo - 92%
Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind - 80%
Princess Mononoke - 94%
The Secret World of Arrietty - 94%
My Neighbor Totoro - 90%
Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro - 90%
Porco Rosso - 100%
Kiki's Delivery Service - 100%
Castle in the Sky - 94%
My Neighbors the Yamadas - 67%
Grave of the Fireflies - 96%
Perfect Blue - 65%
Tokyo Godfathers - 90%
Metropolis - 86%
Cowboy Bebop: The Movie - 65%
Vampire Hunter D - 83%
Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust - 72%
Ninja Scroll - 100%
Akira - 90%

All from Rotten Tomatoes. So clearly film fans seem to like anime as well, as these films are all Certified Fresh, meaning at least 60% of film critics liked these movies.

Fine. I give up. What's the point of this section if you guys don't listen to the members suggests? I don't expect you guys to agree all the time, but it's always "No" to everything without even a consideration. Just because you don't agree with the idea doesn't mean the members feel the same way. It just comes off as a bit selfish when you don't consider what the people who makes this forum active really want. But whatever, it's no big deal.

Why are you posting weird shit in the first place?

Anime doesn't have to be weird..

Obviously you don't watch enough anime.

Well then, I certainly don't want to now. Considering some of the stuff you post.

In fact, now I don't want an anime section just because you said that.

CC, most of the suggestions here are yours. Maybe you should be taking this personally.

To be fair it wouldn't matter who suggested it. We could do without having more off-topic sections as we are a gaming forum first.

Not everything here goes un listened. When I suggested re-naming the DS section to 3DS section, it happened.

Not really. I never expected you guys to agree in the first place. Clearly we have a lot of anime/manga fans here, yet we still can't have a anime/manga section? Oh but it was okay to have the Marketplace, Video Game Trailers, 1 vs. 1 (etc.) sections?

Teckno clearly said and I quote "3 active animes fans is promising, still needs more. Atleast 5 or 6." It's already been proven that we got over 8 anime fans in this forum. Now Teckno doesn't want to respond. Obviously Teckno doesn't want a anime section no matter how many anime fans we got here.

How many sub-sections do we have? I've never heard of the marketplace section.

Video game trailer section has been removed, 1 vs 1 was removed, and the marketplace should probably be removed too.

I know that. My point was that the Staff is a bit bias. No offense.

Laying down the law here. No Anime/Manga section. Post it in Off-Topic, Movies/Television, or Art. We don't need more sub sections. Deal with it instead of crying about it.

First of all, it's biased, not bias. Being biased means being influenced by bias. Second, Marketplace and 1 vs 1 were Teckno's ideas. Seeing as he's the admin, he doesn't really have to get approval.

Oh yeah, it is biased. My fault.

Actually 1 vs. 1 section was Reaper's idea, but whatever.

Like I said before, I didn't expect you guys to agree. I just wish Teckno gave me a proper answer, instead of saying we need at least 5 or 6 anime fans in this forum. But I guess that doesn't matter either way. I can take a hint.

I gave you a proper answer. My word counts just as much as his.

I was talking about before, but fair enough.

This is a gaming fourm not a Japanese fanclub. Anything non-gaming related goes of off-topic.

@Mecha
You make about 90% of the anime related topics, either 1-2 people will post or no one really gives a shit.

:Okay:
