Ain't that the truth...

[A Black Falcon]

That was also aimed at the thing you linked (at the beginning), which was kind of stupid... but then again, YTMND in general is like that, so...

You should pay more attention. I was saying I thought Evangelion was trite and not nearly as amazing as everyone kept telling me it was. I wasn't saying anime is the stupid. The point of this thread was people who join a class because of their obsession with some sort of fiction ruining it for the rest of the class. You know, like a bunch of people trying to become hackers after watching "The Matrix" asking dumb questions through the whole class about how they can design a seamless world in a machine (which is a very loaded and complicated question but they ask it in a way that suggests they really didn't get anything in the class and wanted some sort of magic spell they could stick in a compiler to get their matrix world).

There's nothing wrong with doing those things... it'd just be an issue if you don't take it seriously and act like you already know the stuff because of what you saw on TV told you enough, which of course is not true. :)
