Good storyline + Boobs = Super Anime!!!
No, just no. Fanservice doesn't make an anime, good story and characters do.
He said good storyline. Good storyline makes an anime, but with boobs it is a super anime.
I think some people take animes too seriously, when they were meant to be seen as just random and funny. Animes don't neccessarily need a good storyline though...Excel Saga and Ranma 1/2 are good examples, since each episode has its own plot. Storylines don't even have to be original...like Gundam..lots of the characters and events are the same throughout the different versions (except the ones that have a different storyline, like 8th MS Team and G Gundam).
Also.. mangas should be used to enhance an anime, not bash it. I started reading Naruto, Bleach, and Akira after I saw them (and fillers started). If Akira didn't have good animation, people would probably say it wasn't that great because the manga was better...like Harry Potter fans... "The Akira movie leaves out like half the plot!" "Lots of characters were downgraded or completely absent!" "Tetsuo's problems are shown way more in the manga! In the movie he goes from loosing his arm straight to the big blob monster, without him having to deal with all the other transformations!"...etc
