anime characters have lifeless facial expressions
anime teaches that violence is okay
anime is very commercial

( newspaper scan under cut... )

anime, russian, criticism

anime characters have lifeless facial expressions - and that is wrong because Russian culture is all about facial expressions. Look at the smiley faces all over Russia!

Heh, maybe they are only looking at the drunks.

Oh yeah, that was SO retarded, ITS A DRAWING, NOT REAL PERSON, FUCKTARDS!!!

Боже, какой вздор.
Ето потому что вся русская анимация в данный момент - дермо, никто это не смотрит и не покупает. Люди не дураки, если японскую анимацию покупают, уроды из Русских мултипликац. компаний пересрались, что вообше никто смотреть их гавно не будет и напечатали типичную совдеповскую статейку, о том как все вредно нашему русскому человеку. Как я их за это ненавижу.

Можете привести примеры этого дерьма? Интересно, о чем конкретно идет разговор.

Seems possible, but it could just be paranoid nutjobs. There's plenty of that sort in the US: just look at Jack Thompson and his ilk. Wouldn't be the first time something foreign was labeled 'evil' just because of its alienness.

I like old russian cartoons (largely because I was brought up on them, of course), but I haven't seen/heard anything recent coming from there. Of course, I haven't looked, but it doesn't seem like russian media really compares to the media here or in (let's say) India as far as power goes. If anything, other countries are pissed off at russia for turning a blind eye to copyright violations.
