Watching an anime is it odd that one character never says a word but still has 5+ voice actors?
I don't really
get
anime. I wasn't really aware of its existence until I was 16 or 17. It all of a sudden became really really popular, but made absolutely no sense to me. The plot, the voice acting, the script... it's all like a hodge podge of crazy. I mean, I'm sure it's cool to everyone involved, but I'm pretty sure I could write a script for an anime movie right now:
A little boy, Saitaiataisay, with hair that looks like it is made of a frozen fire, goes to a swimming competition for his local school. An evil villain, Koratatutak, with hair that looks like it is made of frozen fire has replaced the water with magic juice that makes everyone teleport to a strange land. Before the boy gets into the water, he kisses Nikiniki, his one true love. Once he goes into the water, he must utilize a spatula his Grandmother gave him when he was a baby to activate a voice recording that tells him the magic word to turn the water into a testicle monster he can control with his mind. Once he does that, the monster turns into his Grandmother, who also brings back his dead floating dog, Pu. Nikiniki rides Pu through the next shot. Dead Grammy is laughing. Everyone is happy.
The entire movie utilizes about 6 backgrounds, all detailed, and 2 character models, both not detailed, with switched hair colors for the different people. Each scene has the characters cycling endlessly through 1 or 2 animated motions. All the lines are spoken in "black and white fast", as in no one pauses during sentences, or between lines, unless for dramatic effect, and then the pause lasts several seconds, and usually has someone screaming in the background, or gasping.
Edit: I actually meant "tenticle", but for some reason my spelling corrected it to "testicle". I was going to edit it back to "tenticle", but now that I think about it, either would do.
Edit Edit: It's just a joke, Patty.

Its incredibly unfair to generalize all anime as this. Japanese Animation shows are as different in terms of quality and entertainment as any other form of media, be it books, videogames, western animation, ect.
And a really good chunk of Anime shows have very deep complex multi-layered characters, really good plots, BADASS battle sequences (if they are action animes) and pretty awesome plots. Just as there are animes that are weird acid trips where nothing makes sense and the viewer gets NOTHING.
To Generalize shows like Rurounin Kenshin, Cowboy Bebop, Card Captor Sakura, High School of the Dead (yes, despite the blatant and exaggerated fanservice, behind it lies a DAMNED GOOD SHOW) or Maria Sama Ga Miteru, as plotless, badly acted, scriptless "hodge podges of crazy" is incredibly unfair.

As an American, I find this offensive. I don't go around bashing your country, so how about you not go around bashing mine?

How bout we stop making everything ever into an "I hate liberals" comment? We get it, you don't like liberals. We're perfectly capable of knowing that without you needing to make a remark as frequently as possible about it. It's just really !@#$ing annoying at this point.

Trollfucious is sad that the honorable Tush would say such things about him, and his other friends in the Off- Topic, after they had extended much kindness to the honorable Tush. Perhaps calling people pigs is not as offensive in Finland as it is in the United States and Trollfucia?

I don't like the american government most of the time, but there's no reason to bash the people.
Amen.
While I don't approve A LOT of the stuff that the US government does, I have absolutely no problem with the US citizens, their culture, or their way of life. Lets show some tolerance folks.

Trollfucious appreciates tolerance, as it is only by the tolerance of the honorable moderators that Trollfucious is allowed to share his wisdom and laughter with the honorable off topic. In gratitude, Trollfucious tried to be tolerant of many things. Except he is not tolerant of lactose :(

Are you really going to be offended that someone who barely makes sense bashes your country?
If a dumbass doesn't like you, maybe you're doing something right.

I'm taking this as a jab towards Tush, who tries and does very well at speaking English even though it's not their native tongue.
Back at their post, as an American, I am offended by it but I also know it's the truth. If you don't live here and all you see are the red-neck TV shows that get popularized by the sole fact it's ridiculous, you're going to assume that is what America is.
There is a lot to America that isn't seen. Coming from a community that has the lowest unemployment rate in the country, I see the different aspects of America coming here for work and it becoming an incredibly diverse community. Much different from the conservative, small town values I grew up with.
TL;DR, we aren't all red-necks.
