Read the book.
Read the book.
Read the book.
Then read 2010.
Then read 2061.
Then read 3001.
Then tell me that any of them suck.
Moving on, how can you say, "any anime." There are many anime movies out there that people have never heard of that are super awesome. How many people had heard about Cowboy Bebop or .hack//sign before Williams Street brought them to light (and these are some of the greatest literary works made by man). Jeebus, man, have a little cultural awareness--this little island is 500 years ahead of us in entertainment--THEY ARE AWESOME. Granted, they have their garbage (more of it actually, do to the freeness of expression in their society vs. ours), but the good stuff is so much better. Tell me that you can watch Cowboy Bebop: Knockin' on Heavan's Door without at least once standing up and shouting, "this is awesome!"
Seriously, how could you call a small subculture in America overrepresented? How can you begin to compare any of the last ten movies you've seen to the lowliest of Ghost in the Shell, to the pinnacle of 08th MS team. Because they have the courage to expect at least part of thier audience to have a brain and think more than "ooh, flashy graphics" they are over rated?
