clever t-shirt phrase is probably a spambot

I'd likely fall somewhere between 3-4.5.

I can respect and enjoy some of it, but the overwhleming majority of it is drivel. Drivel, or stylized Japanese weirdness. I don't really follow it being honest, I had a brief period of piqued interest that has since waned that was basically an extension of interest in all things animated. That said, some of it is good. Ghost in the Shell. Akira. Princess Mononoke. etc.

One notable exception which manages to bridge the good and bad in anime is FLCL. FLCL is funny for the reason that it's paradoxically celebrating Okatu-type fanatacism (I didn't get half of the references, but enough to know there were tons) and poking fun at its conventions at the same time. Unfortunately, the short series is incomprehensible if you don't see the entire thing. There isn't anything more than hints as to what the hell is going on till episode 5-6.

Eh. To each his own.
