"I admit that some anime is good, especially Hayao Miyazaki, but most
of it
is childish stuff that only an otaku or a Morning Musume fan could
enjoy."


I actually do not think all that highly of Miyazaki.   I dont even
think his films really compare to classic disney, or this one tezuka
film i saw (which bombed horribly, at least in the US.)

I absolutely detested japanese animation when i was renting movies.  I
do admit to liking (or at least not completely dismissing) some anime
TV series.


Morning Musume is most  awful shit on earth and the fact that this has
any popularity in japan shows that no one in japan has any right to say
what is "otaku" and what isnt.  Not that you usenet people are massive
jocks for that matter.


I guess I've a similar opinion for those who like japanese movies
