Ah, no I'm not using any filters, everything I do only involves an airbrush and the smudge tool on a transparency layer on top of the original image. I fell that using the filters makes things too easy and not too artistic.

And I do use Microsoft spell and grammar checker on all my post.

It has nothing to do with Americans hating anything that isn't American. Its the idea that people become reclusive, and only allow certain things to influence them. Allowing something as trivial as anime interfere with real life experiences. Like a "Forced autism" - credit Hideaki Anno. And Sadly it is often the impetus for anime fans to be referred to as: husks, anti-social, socially awkward etc Simply because of the premise that Anime fans only care about Anime.

For more info take a look at Hideaki Anno's story, and why he "abandoned" (somewhat true beside the fact of redoing the NGE series) the "Otaku" culture/lifestyle.

I enjoy anime, I like the fact that i can escape the daily grind and laugh. But letting it overhaul my life isn't something I'd like.

Your post just alludes that the public opinion about Anime is explicitly negative.

2. Stereotype(?):


To counter the explicit stereotype argument; Anime as such has a rather high popularity with intellectual people. You will barely find a graphic designer or digital artist who hasn't heard of Akira. And what open minded person would, looking back on his childhood, not admit that series like Pokemon and Dragonball gave us a lot of pleasure?

Stop making so much sense, Tegumi.
