Although the otaku part isn’t far off considering how Miyazaki (for better or for worse) is an outspoken feminist and does not the sexist undertones of most modern anime
2:19-I hear too much about Bebop to believe that one.
One piece is the same level Comics as the X-Men.
I do believe ALL of those myths about anime for i'm an anime lover and those myth are impressive.
I seriously disagree with no 3 a lot of people got into anime only coz of dbz and many shounen anime like Naruto exist in the first place due to dbz also another misconception is anime is for kids and are cartoons atleast it has a better storyline and better characters than any non animated serials
Can You put My channel On your featured list?
#1 anime is not gay
toyota have a honor char car. skyline looks like a gundam. there's giants poster of anime girls in building and they pay you to draw manga and anime. in puerto rico there's nothing of that.
death to anime !
Well, Astro boy was actually the first anime TV SERIES. Not just anime in general. That's what people mean when they say that.
Person: "Why do you watch anime?"
Me: "Because I like the stories…"
Person: "But isn't all anime really childish and silly?"
Me: "…"
Person: "…"
Me: "Attack on Titan, Blood -C, Another, Corpse Party, Madoka Magica, Elfen Lied, When They Cry, Hellsing, Shiki, Highschool of the Dead" etc.
People are more accepting of anime in Japan
One piece is the best selling manga but dbz as an anime is way better than one piece.
And let's not forget the most popular myth- "anime is just japanese porn", or "anime is just a children cartoon"
I watch Dragon Ball Z, but I don't know why it's so popular. most of the show is them grunting, charging up, destroying mountains and other rock formations, changing the weather to crazy thunder and lightning storms and breaking up the earth's crust. then a little fighting and dialogue. WTF?
If voice actors can pronounce things correctly, you guys can, too. SO, DO IT.
mine bid consistent zgdukl gift so seriously mark plant here.
I hate one piece and dragon Ball z…
Where is the myth that all anime is hentai? Seriously I can't believe I still have to deal with that one. Thankfully it seems to be dying out, but I've still come across the odd person who will be like, "Anime? like tentacles and little girls panties" and I'm like, here is JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, come back to me tomorrow.
But most of my fam is either, its cartoons for little children, or its porn for adults. and a couple is like is porn for little children. But none of them seem to accept its cartoons for adults without me strapping them to a chair to watch some Inuyasha. Then they are like, its so its demons and devilry…
(Facepalm) Nevermind. You know what I'm okay with that one, It's demons and devilry. Now leave or shut up while Case Closed is on.
the priest at my church told my mom anime it's from devil . I told him yeah the devil created anime in the 1960s that's bullshit.
funny thing is….. I thought these were all commonly known things
We are One Piece!!!
THANK YOU I keep trying to tell people Japan does not approve of the anime otakus and what not.
If that last one is true the can you explain why anime is pasted on everything in Japan?
Number 3 should be true
No the lesson should be to accept yourself before expecting others to. Who gives a damn what the majority think. Besides if you can't see past your own perceived flaws, how do you expect others to do the same? This is a lesson I'm still learning in some respects.
It's all fanservice/kiddy shows. That's one annoying myth.
Anime is degenerate and your waifu isnt real.
hayo miyazaki is the Japanese version of Michael Bay(when it comes to story in their movies,not anything else)
Krillen own count…
too large to be shown
Myth Number 1: Sub is better than dubbed
Number 1: iM jaPAnEZe bECauSe i LiKe aNimE aNd ReAD mAnGa, mY dIeT aLSo coNsiSt OnLY oF SuShI anD raMEn ( ^ω^ )
Anime is not only japanese animation so astro boy is the first
In Tunisia geek culture taking over
Myth: Anime is child porn. No it's not sure there is skinship and fanservice but it's not child hentai
My definition of Anime is of that of visuals rather than origins.
I knew the last one… Why would people be more accepting of something EVERYBODY IN THEIR COUNTRY'S DOING?!!! It's easy to create and watch anime all the time, and therefore more rough to get people of your own race to like your idea above everybody else's similar series, game ect. I assume this is why (some) Americans love anime more. It's based on what each individual loves too!!!
Number 1 Anime myth: All English dubbed anime suck.
Anime is for nerds
The only one I previously believed was entry 2. Entry 1 is flawed. Maybe on a personal level anime fans are treated differently, but clearly the country understands that anime is one of its biggest cultural exports. So in certain ways, it has been embraced.
One Piece really is fantastic, However the anime is much slower paced than the manga.
I find #1 to be really hard to believe.
"Even the most powerful weebs get some things wronk"
Yes i get alot of things wronk. Very wronk infact.
Astro boy is as much anime as black and white mickey mouse.
i dont recall when the last time i saw a good video about anime in this channel
anime is love… anime is life
soz but aot has sold more copies than one piece
