Chuck was never good and Adam Baldwin may be the worst human being in Hollywood.

I would say Queen's Blade is a show filled with assholes, but that's the one part of the female anatomy they didn't show off to the audience.

Outside of Earth Final Conflict, was there ever a show that started with almost an entirely different cast than it ended with (disregarding extremely long running shows like soap operas?)

The only reason anyone ever mentions anime is to honeypot people* into admitting they like some of it. I think the less anime you're exposed to in your daily life, the less you're likely to hate it. The only person I know who watches it is my wife, seriously. Most people I know are aware of it though. And I don't ever see it on the Internet because I don't get bored and look up terrible things (I'm lying, I totally do that).

*"people" often being myself

It's just like any other cartoon really, it's just from Japan. That's like saying cartoons are for kids but well, look at something like Archer. There's good anime, and bad anime. It's just something the internet has stupidly latched onto.

Also, it's a shame about bronies, me and my younger sister still watch that show together, oh well, there's always Adventure Time and Phineis and Ferb reruns for kids shows that aren't maddening. You know what wasn't half bad? Hannah Montana. I can say that, I'm a man. :colbert:

I know right? I mean, maybe I only hang out with geeks but I'm always more surprised when people think somethings not common knowledge.

Because of the internet, everything is mainstream these days. Or maybe nothing is mainstream anymore. Like, whoa.

Kinda my whole point is that anime isn't mainstream and it's only those people who spend their days steeped in it think it's some sort of cultural wellspring from which all other media arises.

But in your haste to bag on me you have aligned your self with anime likers.
