{{quote|''Animation and film in this country really started back in the day with two different styles of performing: [[Melodrama]] (if you look to your classical black-and-white silent films, ''[[The Birth of a Nation]]'', D.W. Griffith stuff) and vaudeville ([[Buster Keaton]], [[Charlie Chaplin]]); and if you look at animation, it's pretty similar. The [[Warner Bros]], [[Looney Tunes]] stuff tends to be the vaudevillian, Daffy Duck-fall-on-his-face kind of thing, and [[Disney Animated Canon|Disney]] tends to be the melodrama. But Disney was obsessed with doing childhood fantasy, and that became sort of the dominant theme for animation. So, animation in this country sort of got equated with one genre; the entire medium of animation in America kind of got associated with this one genre- "for children," [[Trope Codifier|and that's pretty much because of Disney]]. The only alternative, then, is the [[Looney Tunes]] sort of "irreverent animation", which then turns into ''[[South Park]]'', ''[[Family Guy]]'', and ''[[The Simpsons (animation)|The Simpsons]]'', where it's going to be very adult, [[Satire]] sort of storytelling, and there's a wasteland in the middle.''|'''[[Crispin Freeman]]'''}}

{{quote|''"Honey, they didn't have any [[Digimon]] stuff, so I got this thing called [[Urotsukidouji|Legend of the Overfiend]]. Is that okay?"''|'''[[What The Fuck Is Wrong With You?|Nash Bozard]]'''}}

 

 

{{quote|"The thing I really hate the most is the total emersion{{sic}} that some anime fans get into -- "dedicating" every corner of their lives to it by buying all manner of posters, books, magazines, studying Japanese just to be able to read the comics or understand the videos, buyng{{sic}} Japanese versions of popular video game systems just to play anime-oriented video games, and intellectualizing the plot of a cartoon as though it had some deep, heady philosophy imbedded{{sic}} into it. If you are doing almost all of these things listed, and not just one or two, you have a serious peoblem.{{sic}} I can't stand people like that, because being around them is like being around a mentally ill person who is trapped in their childhood."
