What is it with you INTJ's and anime?

ajblaise · 09-21-2008, 06:58 AM

So many of you have anime avatars. I just don't get it. It seems like anime should be an F thing. There has to be something I'm missing, because I'm only one function away from being an INTJ and the anime I've seen pretty much just seemed stupid.

Is it because - being not human yourselves - you relate better to anime characters?

anybody......?

I'm an INTJ and all it takes is about 30 seconds of anime to make me run screaming from the room.

Damn, your friends could have soooo much fun with that! ^

It's the Ni dominance, not the Thinking.

Plus, INTPs are not just one function away from INTJs.

Also, I doubt very many INTJs are into it. Not very many people are.

How does that relate to anime in particular versus all other forms of media?

I dunno, it seems like more of a fantasy/imaginative thing.

Um...why does it seem like "anime should be an F thing"? What is particularly F about liking anime that couldn't also be applied to the enjoyment of any other form of art, music or literature?

Why does anime have to be so bad? *deflects blows* I mean, most of it. I don't care how a story is presented, live action, odd animation, whatever, but most of them are like soap operas with guns.
