I like browns, blues, reds and blacks. I like jeans for most occasions and plain long-sleeved shirts go well with anything. Polo shirts are good too. And leather Bomber Jackets.
How do you hate porn? And Trigun FTW.
And yeah, Trigun for the win.
But I do agree on the objectification issue, it's kind of disgusting. I try to only look at stuff that's not too messed up.
But why all the hate on other anime and manga? XD
As for the anime/manga issue, there are certain things I admire about them as opposed to traditional western animation (for example that you can tell mature and involving stories about something other then princesses and singing animals) but once again it all comes down to aesthetic taste. I was raised on saturday morning cartoons and disney movies. I'd choose the fliudness and expressiveness of western animation over the stilted and stylized eastern vareity any day. Not that I don't think it has it's merits. I loved Trigun to death (again in part because of the unusually smooth animation) and there are a few other series I count as having redeming aspects. But on the whole I find the greater part of the stories to be too bizzare, the characters usually drawn from stereotypes, and the yaoi/yuri fangirls to be overwhelming
But maybe that's just me, eh?
And well it could also be Trigun was heavily based off Western Animation. The Author was a big fan of Western Comic Books (Horse shit and Gunsmoke being a big part of the story. Movev being Venom backwards, etc.).
Did not. That's pretty cool.
