Belgian cartoons: The forgotten genre! - VGF

**Crazyswordsman** · 01-09-2007, 09:48 AM

Anyone else a fan of them? I must say that they're very sophisticated and actually funny. I read an article on them and I became fascinated. Frankly, they're better than American cartoons, and they sure as hell are ten times better than Japanimation. -CSM

Thought I'd go ahead and save the trouble for all the anime freaks....btw this is not a statement I am personally making. It's a statement made to stop this statement from actually being told and to stop a flamewar.

^That was both a flame to him and a flame to Anime fans. Thank you.

Anyway, yeah, whatever. Death Note, by itself, puts Anime above Americrap. And Belgicrap. Bah.

The irony begins to wring your neck.

WvW, just... stop trying. You're not funny. You're not witty. I'm not going to hold your hand in order for you to learn these points.

^The funny part is, he only does that because 1) All Anime fans fervently defend their favorite genre, and most people think they're stupid. Just because we like something doesn't mean that we have issues and are all degenerated idiots. Yeah, some of the fans are stupid. So what. We ain't ALL stupid. 2) Most of the older members hate it, so he jumped on the bandwagon to hate it with 'em.

wariovswario · 01-09-2007, 05:55 PM

I'm not saying all anime fans are stupid...just the ones who have to feel like it's superior to everything else and feel that everything else is crap.

BrandonTragedy · 01-09-2007, 06:01 PM

^you shouldn't dislike Anime because it's anime, you shouldn't dislike American Cartoons because there American, try to keep an open mind. I like FMA, The Simpson's, Fooly Cooly, Futurama, DBZ, Family Guy, Gundam, ect. Try to keep an open mind to all shows, and if they suck they suck, a tv genre in general cant really suck, because you will find good stuff cornered in some where.

Galefore · 01-09-2007, 06:14 PM

^^My opinion is that American cartoons suck. Not because they're american, just because I don't like them. Please cut the bull-s***.

Truthfully, I don't think EVERYTHING else is crap. Just other forms of animation. Simply because most comedy bores me. Anyway, yeah, it really isn't nice to flame over an opinion. Please, dude, let fans be fans.

So do you plan to link us up with these Belgian Cartoons or do you plan for us to blindly accept your word on the matter?

No it's Animé, also dude, if you havn't anything constructive to post, don't post at all, I'm not being insulting, but please, you can be very annoying at times.

Anywho Like Tehdarkness, I also believe when I see, but I'm still keeping open minded about it.
