I dunno man. I've had some Japanese guests give me some candy that they have over there and it's usually pretty nasty.

If it's Japanese it must be cool.

Will America ever get a cool fad again? I was hoping Dragonforce could bring a power metal fad, but it didn't happen Sad.

I wonder if this fuck-ass Japanese fad would have ever arrived without FFVII? I think that game ruined America.

I don't see what makes you think final fantasy VII made people like asia.

It started the whole RPG fad, which I think lead into the whole anime fad, which then lead America into wanking off Japan.

Asians don't even like Asia. If they did, they'd stop making every RPG character a big breasted white woman.

my theory is that there's a big meeting in japan every so often where they discuss crazy things to come out with so americans think japan is weird.

"So, what should we make next? We have to keep these Americans on their toes!"
"Hmmmm, how about flaming popcorn pants?"
"BRILLIANT"

Because Sci-Fi channel didn't show anime before final fantasy VII.


and asians make their girls big breasted white women for the same reason nerds here like asians. it's because they're foreign.


that and the fact that they have enormous tits.

Owned.
I'm afraid you're incorrect Sir. FF VII came out in the US on September 7th, 1997. But anime had been running on Sci-Fi for at least a year prior, including the Robot Carnival Akira, Dominion Tank Police, Gall Force, Project A-ko, and Tenchi Muyo in Love (the latter of which aired August 26th, 1996).

As an aside, Sci-Fi's going back to showing anime.

Also, anime fandom was here since the mid 80's.

Everything had some sort of fanbase before it was a mainstream fad that had been beaten into the ground.

I'd argue that Sailor Moon holds that claim.
