Joshuas response to my post.
"Interesting point Craig. Transformers is great. However, I don't think it's technically anime. It was written and recorded in America and produced for American audiences. Yes, the animation style is somewhat similar because the cartoon was drawn in Japan, however it's not really Anime, at least not as I understand it.
That said, there are always exceptions to every rule. As I said above, I'm certain there is good Anime out there somewhere. Unfortunately, Dragonball Z and the other crappy Anime we've had foisted on us here in America has done a good job of scaring me away from it." - Joshua Tyler
My Post on CinemaBlend:
This is the same man (Joshua Tyler) who despises Anime so much.
"There are two ways to review this movie. The right way is to look at it objectively, examining how the film is put together and picking apart the script by pointing out the gaping logical gaps present in it. I’ll be reviewing the film the wrong way, as a man who was once a little boy crying because Optimus Prime was dead. Now whatever is left of that kid inside me has had a wakeup call. The movie he’s been waiting twenty years to see is finally here; Optimus Prime is back from the grave and he needs my help"

4.5/5 Transformers Review
Has Joshua forgotten that "Transformers" was not only created in Japan but considered as "Anime" the very thing that Joshua despises so much. This goes to show how bias this guy really is. Hate to break it to you Joshua my dear boy but Optimus Prime your Idol and Hero is considered as an Anime Character. Also if you hate the idea of Anime's being transfered in to Live Action why did you love "Transformers" so much? I guess you find the Idea of Giant Alien Robots from another planet a lot more sophisticated than "Dragon Ball".
