Anime vs. Tokusatsu

Naruto4Ever85 (6:26:12 PM): I can't believe people in that thread called naruto crap and other bad names. **** them all. I hope half of them get shot and the other half get cancer. Fucking assholes.
 
I like tokusatsu a whole lot more, but I still love anime. I guess the reason so many people don't like anime is because they're mostly just exposed to the shounen genre that's made of stuff like Naruto, Inuyasha, Bleach, DBZ, One Piece, etc. There really is an anime for everyone out there, and if you look outside of the genre of shounen, you'll find some really kickass stuff. I love shows like Galaxy Railways and recommend it to anyone because it's just so different than the "mainstream" stuff.
Then you are clearly watching the wrong Toku shows.

Or you know, he just has different opinions. If you gave anime a try, you'd probably like it. Try watching Fist of the North Star or the Karas movies. I remember you once said it was just "cartoons running around", well that could be applied to tokusatsu as "guys in crappy suits running around". But we both know that isn't true, it's the same with anime.

Well jeez dude. There's no way we know that you're not just listing stuff off. And there's definitely no way to take an antagonistic attitude all of a sudden. You didn't catch the slight bit of humor in FK's comments?

Back onto anime. It's all a matter of taste, I guess. I honestly believe that there's no anime out there I'll enjoy as much as I enjoy toku.

I don't think he'd talk **** about what he's watched. I respect that fact.

But yeah, most don't get my humour at ALL... It's sp3chul.

But I still stand by Tokusatsu over Anime.
