I don't know why, but a lot of people and a lot of websites like to treat anime like it's the anti-christ or something. For one thing, there are a lot of people who don't like anime, and I don't know why. Also, there are some websites that think that anime is considered just as bad as pr0n, racism and illegal stuff.
WHAT IS THE DEAL???

It's because Belchic, I think a lot of people don't like things outside of their own country =/ I could be wrong about this, it's just a guess.
And lol Bishop, I'm surprised it's you posting that and not Avenger. But yeah, the government and parents want to censor EVERYTHING.
Videogames, books, anime.... when they brought DBZ Kai to Nicktoons Network, I KNEW when something was censored. As in all the blood was gone, the one character whose arm gets sliced off scene is removed, man I could go on.

I don't treat Anime like it's a Spawn of Evil. It's just not something that floats my boat.
I mean, I LOVE "101 Dalmatians" and I mainly grew up watching Shows from the West and am more use to British or US Shows. Like Disney, Nickelodeon or Britt Alcroft.
Granted, I watched Digi/Pokemon when it came on, along with CardCaptors and Sonic X. But those were on when I was about 10.
My Biggest Problem with Anime these days, is that, A Majority of them are filled with, Over Powered Beings whom have more powers than any Religious Figure. I mean, There's one called "The Meloncony Of 'Some hard to spell Japanese Name'..." and the title character in that is literally God.
I just see all these Over Powered Characters on Anime and ask "Is anyone in Anime...Normal?"
That's all I have against it, If I see an Anime, If the characters are normal, I'd probably be okay as they're more believable. I'm also okay with 'Some' Powers, just don't make it so they have enough Power to light up the Sun, a thousand times. X3
Still, Like spoken before, I am a Pup whom is more use to British or US Programs. X3
What do you Pups thnk on the matter?

@bab It's called the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimiya And, I've actually found that anime is becoming more popular in the western world, especially with Otaku culture being on a rise and all. I mean, I'm pretty sure there was a channel on Sky dedicated to just anime. The point is, is that no one wants to watch the show if all of the characters are 'Normal'. One thing that does bug me though, is when the main character is a casual high school student and then after 3 seasons based on the manga and 2 more seasons of filler, the character is the most powerful being in the universe. (Yes, I'm looking at you, Bleach.)

The point is, is that no one wants to watch the show if all of the characters are 'Normal'. Like I mentioned earliar, I am okay with 'SOME' Powers. However, like you say, It's just almost every Anime i've seen is just of our 'Protagonist' becoming to most powerful being in the universe. I sometimes get the feeling that even the Background characters are some sort of Super Being. I mean, I am able to handle Super Hero items and stuff like that. But ones in 'Anime' have enough power to make the Creation of Reality look like a "There's A Coin In Your Ear" Trick. Also, There are quite a fair few shows where everyone is normal, but the show's still good. I can list them all here, but I'd probably have low space for other Text. o.o Have a Super Power, By all means, Just not make them a God-Modding. o.O Still, What you other Pups think on the matter? X3

X3 To me it seems like you're taking it WAAYYYYYY to seriously Bab XD There are animes that are 'normal' (though there is no such thing as normal really..), as I'll list them here. -Higurashi -Lucky Star -Azumanga Daioh (sp?) -Strawberry Panic -Blood + -Ouran High School Club So no need to group them all thinking ALL animes have 'overpowered' characters as you say =3 But I'm loling at one of your earlier posts... do you really think the creators of anime CARE that their characters are more powerful than real life religious figures?
