precisely my point, ergo for any scholar in those fields to even form a thesis they must knowingly admit they do not have a definitive answer, and are instead defining their own terms for presenting an argument; and in doing so, they are knowingly denying the opposing argument, like a sort of mindful ignorance necessary for any point to exist.

zomg gaise gaise wat is truth gaise is construct gaise

They don't just make shit up. And the fact is, if they weren't doing what they were doing no progress would be made at all. Science does not occur in a vacuum.

i'm not saying they're making shit up, i'm saying in order to say one thing is true, one must say the other thing is false regardless of the position, because otherwise there is nothing but "maybes". social sciences, 'membuh

We call this science.

We call this art

We call that negative reputation.

we call that fuck you

What you don't realise is that he'd enjoy that.

Get the fuck off my Kakera

...So true

Why the fuck is manga so retarded? The realm of thorns states this shouldn't exist

manga is comic books dumb shit

Oh my bad, why is anime so reatrded?

Um.

Anyway, way to make a sweeping generalisation about a wide and varied genre.

MEDIUM

It's a MEDIUM or a least a SUB MEDIUM of the MEDIUM of ANIMATION

Mull that over.

Right?

I wouldn't call it a medium, just animation originating in Japan characterised by particular recurring techniques, aesthetic styles and culture.

I would call it a style.

It was a style when it started in the 60's, it's evolved far past that as many different studios use many different styles.

It's really just a term used for animation in Japan, so it's not really a genre, style, medium or anything. It's a cultural difference.

why am I acting like I know so much about this

Yes, but in the west it means animation originating inside Japan.

Mull that over.

mull my mother over.

I did, bitch.

my mother's dead.

how does that make you feel?

Aroused.

i knew it!

Hot.

THANKS!

so yeah... cogito manga sum

Dear Scrabtrapman.

As per your negative reputation to me. Yes it was an opinion and you are allowed to hold it.

However, as it was a ridiculous misinformed stupid opinion, I am obliged to shoot it down and expose your ignorance for what it is.

Love, WoF.

And I, dear WoF, am allowed to retort to your negative rep with my own, although mine does far little in comparison to yours, I stand by the sentiment and would do it again.

Signed,
Mr. Scrabtrap

Are you guys seriously negrepping each other over the definition of anime?

You know the answer to that question. Of course they are.

Actually my negrep was because he's a willfully ignorant moron. The animu thing was as good an excuse as any.

the hell, STM?

share the love, man. share the love.

how about getting back to topic. has anyone anything to say about the content of the clip or the thread's topic?

I didn't watch the video but the two guys in the preview screen remind me of Statler and Waldorf.
