I'm sure I've repressed allot of the baaad
memories, but here are a few I can think of....
1. I'd have to say that most anime in the genre
of Plastic Little have absolutely no redeeming
value. But of course I'm a girl so I would say
that.
2. Original Gundam- I really liked Gundam Wing
(which BTW I am expecting to see pop up in
somone's list eventually) so I had to see
the "series that started it all." The only thing
it started for me was a good nap. And they kept
playing that stupid song whenever any mech was
deployed. Damn near drove me crazy.
3.Likewise with G Gundam- I've heard it described
as "unhinged." I heartily agree. And what's with
those stupid names....
4. Any of the "tentacle sex" genre- I actually
read in a book that anaylzed anime that what it
symbolized was the female body as being
alternately something powerful and something
controlled and abused by males which was supposed
to be a metaphor for the contradictory and
changing way that women are viewed in Japanese
culture. So I went out and rented a bunch of La
Blue Girl. Maybe I was laughing too hard, but I
completely missed the deeper meaning.
5. Everyone repeat after me......Pokemon.
(But try telling that to my 5 yr old nephew)
Well, hope I haven't completely offended anyone,
but I had to get it out of my system.
