Direct correlation between Anime and being Single - Study in Japan finds

[asteroidrules]

Well I like anime and I've never felt interested in anyone, ever, and I'm not in Japan. Maybe there is a correlation.
Or maybe it's just even more Japanese weirdness.

Really? The thread title is an outright lie, and nothing is done about it? Not even an edit to make the title accurate?

so what are the effects of an anime movie about creepy shut ins and how creepy they are?

[Coolkiddo]

Nothing had "Anime" as a word in there.

Exactly. This just goes to show how many people actually read the article vs. reading the headline.

Pretty sure nothing, it's just a movie.

I'm saying, assuming that Anime causes people to become creepy shut ins, what would the effect of Anime about how creepy shut ins are bad be?

[Samoht]

Just sayin' what we all already knew.

[Warriorx4]

Goddamn this thread is really telling; hardly anybody reads the fucking article.

Hypothetical extroverts?

[QUOTE=itak365;33483761]The title is horribly inaccurate, and is rather offensive to hikkomori, and Japanese in general.[/QUOTE]

This has nothing to do with hikikomori either. These people aren't necessarily introverts at all. Even certain famous pop-stars have been labeled "herbivorous".

How about also as shows rather than something other than shows?

This just in, if an anime is bad, it's not because of the animation, it's because it's a terrible show.
