Ghost in the Shell II was visually amazing, but still suffered from the same problem: you're watching drawings of people that aren't people... and the sequal actually, literally, put me to sleep. I dozed off during more than one section.
Clearly you aren't a fan of Anime, but that simply means you don't like it. That doesn't make it bad. As I like to say "that's why there's more than one button on the radio."

However, I don't understand your "drawings of people that aren't people" comparison. In the movies, precious little is "real" to begin with. In films, the PEOPLE aren't who they represent and sometimes they aren't even "people". Sean Connery isn't really a British secret agent, R2-D2 had a dwarf inside it and the guy who plays Will on Will and Grace isn't gay.

Anime, as well as ANYTHING thatrical requires the suspension of disbelief to enjoy. It also has great, as well as horrid examples of the genre. It's all a matter of taste.


Not a day goes by that I don't see something that reinforces my belief that people are idiots.
