I like anime, some of it. It's a medium of expression, not a "genre".
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).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
