I have come to the realization that I hate anime.
Ok, now maybe I should qualify this statement. I don't actually hate things like anime and manga. I would be lying if I tried to say I was as interested in them as I was in high school, but I don't hate it. What I do hate though is what it does to people. Specifically artists. See, I know a lot of them, people who draw and paint and sculpt and such, but there is a certain aspect to the art of the people who are inspired to a great degree by these media. I think I need to break the problem down further:
Aspect 1: simplicity
The way that anime and manga are drawn is actually quite deceptive.
