[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ why anime arouses such a strong feelings ?

[Deepone]

what are your thoughts about the subject ? It seems that anime either makes you like it, or hate it... but both with passion, most of the time. Of course i realize this might be that only the people who share that passion regardless of their opinion seem to be talking a lot about it, but...anyway, I have seen same kind of reactions that some religious acitivists have against something, but against anime. Does anyone know reasons that are behind this one?

yes, it might be that the attitude for it comes partly for thinkin its for kids only, and then they encounter something that is actually done with adults in mind. What I have been thinking is that it also creates a bit easier way to create immersion, since the characters are not so much looking like someone, but rather some kind of type of person. Thus, when someone sees and feels the immersion, they got on the defence because they get scared of that, they feel uneasy about something like anime arousing such feelings or immersion in them - and the only way they can let those feelings out is by hatred, the way most ppl react to something un-expected and/or new.
