Uhhh... Shit... *escapes into darkness*
But on a real note, the most fucked up thing I had ever seen was that movie The Human Centipede. Not anime, but just thought I'd throw that shit out there.

anime sucks,japanese animation sucks
Worst animation 4ever:Anime and mlp.
Kids should watch Mickey Mouse or Tom & Jerry not those brain washer animations that make you think you are a brony or makes you kill your parents because you think your in anime movies with blood.

I don't agree, plenty of Anime stuff I do like or liked in the past such as Macross.
Currently watching Time Jam Valerian and Laureline, which was a French/Japanese co production and I find it pretty entertaining, better than some of the Western animation at the moment and at least it is sci-fi-ish.

Finally, a post of yours which reminds me why I generally disliked seeing your responses over others. Thanks for that, I guess?
That being said, misunderstanding me and taking to your misunderstanding with such gusto is your own mistake, and if my attempts to explain it aren't enough, fine. Have it your way. For someone who's admitted to English being their second language and not understanding its nuances to the same degree as a native speaker, it's odd that you would tell me what a word in English means and exactly when and how it can and cannot be applied. I gave an analogy on top of an analogy explaining my intention, and you still don't get what I'm saying. Okay, you don't get what I'm saying, now let's move on, huh?
I DO NOT confuse my own personal interpretation with an artist's intended message (nor was I citing a debunked theory, but convenient for you to assume otherwise), but I DO recognize when they allow for a depth of discussion, and deeper meaning than what we see on a superficial level. Some are coy about acknowledging that (example, Oda's "What indeed?" when asked what something means), and some just plain outright state it openly when asked (example, Tarantino, "It's whatever the audience wants it to be." regarding questions of the contents of the briefcase in Pulp Fiction). Doesn't mean your adherence to a single narrative absolute makes it so. You've got your own interpretationg of a lack of room for interpretation, good for you. But you can't be bothered to recognize that this goes both ways. Dandy.
EDIT: Back on topic...
Basically yes, The Dutch Ghost. It's silly for people like AbullSinCara to completely write off an ENTIRE storytelling/artistic medium because of personal taste. There's good and there's bad. There's well-done and there's poorly-done. It's a total fucking genre, for God's sake, of course it's not "worst ever" and "sucks" universally. I'll never understand why people can so nonchalantly act so dismissively for things they don't like... when it's a matter of taste. Oh, if you're told you're wrong, and you don't wish to accept this, how convenient it must be, then, that all you need say is "Well that's just your opinion." But the moment you've got the chance to assert your opinion, it's absolute! "Anime sucks!" How self-unaware.....
Though as I've said before, I've got certain standards, and I'm just not interested in particular anime which might just make me feel ill. I've never once gone to watch "Two Girls One Cup" cause I'm not interested in being revolted, but obviously millions of others have. Well, good for them, I'm not interested. For a story that's NOT disgusting at all, Nozoki Ana did enough to push me deeper into depression with its second-to-last chapter, so I don't need to worsen my psychological condition by watching something intended just to distress me! XD

Well the point here is that your initial assertion was build around something that is literally a discredited theory about Nieghbour Totoro. Is like if I went and made an entire wall of text about how Rugrats is deep because Angelica was a mentally ill girl imagining all the babies and that's what the show was about. I do believe in the death of the author, but I also believe a lot of people try too hard to make things they like seem deeper than they are. Also dude, you are insisting on calling Studio Ghibli underrated, that's like saying Spielberg is underrated, it's just a faulty argument to being with.
For example, I love Persona 4, it's a great game because it has good gameplay and interesting themes in the story, yet most of it's fans are just annoyign otakus more focused on the lolis and who wants to fuck whom and what and all the themes of the game go right over their heads. Now, Persona 4 is not underrated, if something it overshadows the other SMT games that are just as good just because those others don't have a clean and crisp anime stye (instead the have the cool but cold and weird artwork of Kaneko) and their stories tend to be more minimalistic; it is more a case of attracting the wrong crowd. Altho it's not like Atlus is not giving them cookies with the new Dancing game focusing on the idol character, so I guess they probably were counting on attracting that crowd from the beginning.

Once again, I'd firmly disagree with your assertion that I'm at fault when I state that Ghibli titles are "underrated", but going by your example, it appears that you just don't like the word that I'm using. You feel that because it is popular, "underrated" cannot apply, even if it's being appreciated for all the wrong reasons. I disagree, as I consider overrating or underrating something to be relevant to not only its level of appreciation, but also the manner in which it is appreciated. If finding another term for it makes you happy, go for it. Perhaps "misunderstood" fits better? Possibly "under-appreciated?" But for me, "underrated" is the right word, because it underlines that there is a lack of an appreciative audience for its multidimensionality, even though there's easily a wide audience for its simplicity. As I stated already, going back to your "Jizzus" example, it doesn't matter if the whole world were marveling at his carpentry prowess, the lack of appreciation for "this is the son of God, come to harken the coming of the apocalypse, we shall be sent unto him to heaven, and yadda yadda" would make him "underrated", in spite of the fact that he has captivated the world with what his hands can do with some lumber. A sea of starving men devouring sushi would be underrating that high grade fish, because they'd eat anything.
It should be abundantly clear to you, if you've so much as noted my signature (specifically the "semantics" section) that I can defend this interpretation of the terms tooth and nail, as that's what the ambiguity of the utility of language permits.

suuure, they do. I am just saying that we in the "west" are just as capable of creating fucked up things.
Which culture does not? In italy they eat cheese full of magots.

Beats eating dog meat, and besides, maggots are a great source of protein.

How is eating maggots better than eating dog?

Don't know about you, but eating my friends is just a fucked up idea to me. Now maggots are worms, who don't feel pain as mammals and can actually be a healthy food source. Now having said that, i find it difficult to imagine me eating them live, and a bit disgusting eating them prepared, but that of course comes from my culture and upbringing. I would actually like to try out some of those fuckers, decently prepared mind you. Aren't they a part of a diet of some cultures?

Well dogs are also eaten i nsome cultures so it's more of a cultural connection to dogs in our side than it being more fucked up. And I don't know, I wouldn't conciously eat dog (unless no other choice is given to me) but I am sure you can chop it enoug so it looks like any other meat. I think it wouldn't taste that good considering most dogs are more muscle than fatty tissue but I porbably would just think is just shitty chicken or something. I have eaten rabbit, the legs taste like chicken, the rest tastes horrible so I can get an idea more or less. Maggots on the other hand would need to be turned into mush to be unrecognizable as bugs, but they would still look gross.
I forgot to mention that the maggots in the maggot cheese are also alive when you eat it.

That sounds dangerous...
The cheese is basically banned everywhere, even in that small part of Italy where people are crazy enough to eat it.
Oh, those maggots also jump into your face, btw., so you have to hold your hand over your sandwich when you eat it.
