JulieYBM wrote:Hey now, Otaku also fap to drawings of mechanical objects, too! That why mecha girls, like those from Kantai Collection, are so popular.
I'm not joking, either. There are no children Otaku, because to be capable of sex-based feelings is the foundation of an Otaku.
Of course, they do, regular men fap to drawings of mecha girls, and cat girls too. And yes that is why there so popular. I can realize that.
*smiles evilly* There are
children Otaku, sex-based feelings arent the foundation, your just making this stuff up, an actual Otaku is some body with a hobby, which comes at the cost of their social skills. Anybody is an otaku.

Huh, wondered where that quote came from.
Gone from the wind you say, is it any good?
JulieYBM wrote:It sounds to me like you're confusing the general western idea of fandom with the actual realities of being an Otaku. I wouldn't call any user on this forum an Otaku (not even myself!) because nobody quite fulfills the necessary criteria of being possible not only of physical love for a 2D character, but emotional love, too. Most users here (well, most westerner geeks in general) also don't exhibit the highly fine-tuned ability to shift between fictional contexts.
*Smiles a bigger and more toothier smile* Except you've gotten the meaning of an Otaku, hilariously and completely utterly wrong, an Otaku is someone who has a hobbie that is bordering on an obsession that hinders his social skills. I'm proably an Otaku, as I have a few obsessions, that I rattle on end~lessly, and my social skills, are ungodly awful... Shame about that...
No that's a waifu, plenty of people have those I have
one of those.
JulieYBM wrote:It's pretty dumb to restrict the things you're passionate about like how you are describing. You might as well be scolding Shida Naotoshi for his exacting detail in how he draws hands at close range. I'll use another reference: I've just finished re-watching the first two episodes of Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Youko's shapely boobs are packed tightly into a sexy bikini top and special attention is paid to them to make them sexy. Why? Because it's obviously fun to draw and look at and by knowing that we understand that Youko is an object and totem of love. We ciphon enjoyment from viewing others' enjoyment.
Um... No, I'll explain this later on, near the end of course, but I don't actually won't them to not be working what their passoniate about. In fact if their working on something I love, then good on them, I'm proud that this Shida Naotoshi can have all the fun in drawing hands at close range. I don't want to actually take that love away from him.
Actually speaking of
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, heard its pretty good, been planning to watch it. Know any good places? And I completly understand that, and I love her design. But here's the thing Youko's wasn't just eye candy she was an actual character

JulieYBM wrote:That's what makes art great and truly meaningful. Nobody enjoys reading or watching something the creator obviously has no obvious fun making. The best thing about the 2013 Dragon Ball film was just how much Yamadera Kou'ichi and Morita Masakazu were obviously having the time of their lives. What they created in that film is as satisfying as watching Kouno Megumi's hair porn move or watching Kirigaya Suguha's boobs move in Sword Art Online. Or Fujii Shingo and his fetish for drawing girls' thighs! It's all the same thing, incurring the same depth of satisfaction.
Except, if they have no skill in the industry, and honestly, they don't have to enjoy it just not hate what their working on, or displeased on what their working on. But yeah totally agree if they enjoy what their working on it'll be better than what the didn't like working on. Hmmmm, I don't think that its best that you mention vile, vulgar trash like
SAO it does not. I. REPEAT it does not help your argument. But lets be honest, who doesn't like that?
JulieYBM wrote:These guys draw fucking comics and cartoons for fun. They're obviously not in line with what society considers a proper job or way of life. That they have the maturing and honesty to hold no shame about liking the things they like and making the things they like is truly something to look up to

The irony here being, of course, that I have no interest in being an illustrator or animator myself, but rather a writer.
Actually, have you heard of something called hyperbolic humor, I just simply exaggerate my feelings to an ungodly level, to the point where they don't actually resemble my original feelings. I honestly was, only slightly annoyed, and aggravated from your post. It didn't actually piss me off.
huh, me to. Thinking of writing a few fanfictions. Perhaps I'll try my hand at a doujishn. Maybe I'll become an artist, and a writer? Who knows
Hmm, lets see if I can hit two birds with one stone? Yes,
lets see if I can....

The plot is brought to life by visuals, the characters express themselves visually and the tone of a particular project depends on the director and what he thinks suits the project.
For example, an atmospheric cartoon needs to set up that atmospheric mood through its backgrounds, lighting, music et cetera and visuals also help in setting up that mood and amplify it. Watch Boku Dake ga Inai Machi . It is a great example.
A good animated film or TV series is one that gives major emphasis to visual storytelling and since good Japanese cartoons are mostly lead by directors who themselves are animators, they use the animation medium to its full potential.
If that pretty drawing's intention was to be pretty and nothing else then it works. PreCure does that and it has been incredibly successful at doing that.
'Sigh' so do you mean something like SAO, which had
'amazinwingly pwetty dwarings', and
'swuper dwuper weally gwood awnimwation?' Lets cut to the chase, the visual atheistic is only second to the actual story, there both important. Its just one edges the other one out. Honestly if you enjoy
'pwetty dwaings', and
'pwetty awnimu', then ROF, should have been your thing, but its not.
Also, a good show isn't just all animation, the story, and the plot, and the characters all matter more than that, other wise I can show you a pretty drawing of Goku humping a seel, and you'd be watching it for 30 minutes. Or SAO, cause clearly story doesn't matter
