Translation:

I watch licensed animé that isn't re-run regularly on Adult Swim so I am cool. Japan is different from America. ANIMÉ ABOUT RUBBER PIRATES IS NOT 4 KIDS.
Wow... you should write a book because that translation from ignorant kid to basic english is pretty good, haven't seen many better interpeters in a long time so having Mune around will make conversations on this forum a lot better.

Whats it matter what nerds talk about online? its good stuff regardless of how many people discuss it
So as long as a few people think its good it makes it good even if thousands of people claim its crap and discuss it for hours? And Nerds are people too and most of the time their understanding of the world and the things they see are much more valuable than kids or ignorant fools opinions. Just because its stated on the internet doesn't mean that their isn't important, it just is a little less because of the surplus of opinions.

Well, Mainsteam anime is pretty much the only anime that makes it to the U.S. (Or, at least with easy access)

However, to get lesser known anime, you have to go online, which a lot of people aren't willing to do. And even online, it's hard to find 'rarer' animes. I'm hoping to broaden my anime view over this summer, since i've only seen a few lesser known animes.

Also, it depends on location. I have to get all of mine online since I live in a place where less than a tenth of the population could probably recognize anime, even less than that actually enjoys watching it, and even smaller amount of people actually enjoy subtitled anime that's uncensored. Basically, there isn't a single dedicated anime shop in my entire state. -_-

....um yes...to them anyway. if its crap, let it be, cause no matter what, someone will like it.

there is no true definition of good or bad really...because its all opinion

the art may be crappy, but the story could be good. or vice-versa.

If you mean the OVA to rurouni kenshin, the no it isn't. I haven't seen it on tv at least...

What about King of Hell? One of my favorite mangas, and i don't think they have an anime for it yet...
Is Bleach considered mainstream also? I don't see how considering it's just now coming to America...the anime that is...

Sad how Nabeshin's art has been classified as a low-rate mainstream now...

I bet I'm the only person here that watches Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuustu.

I watch Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu, otherwise known as, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. The theme song is very catchy, and according to ANN, it's theme song has been hitting the charts, and so has the anime.

I love the show :D

If they decide to translate it and localize it in the US they better not put it on Adult Swim...
