It's not about anime "winning" over on GB. There's always going to be someone throwing the tired "jerk" meme out when anime is mentioned over there. The point is, the image you see on AV's home page for a particular article is also seen on the footer of every other WM site; shouldn't it, like @FLStyle said, not add fuel to the fire?" @b0nd07 said:

No, it just that the image choice for this article perpetuates one of the negative stereotypes that people have of anime fans; especially over on Giant Bomb where the once joking phrase "anime is for jerks" has become gospel. Look, I like anime boobs as much as the next guy, but when you're advertising an article on your site (especially one about the community) to the rest of Whiskey Media, it would be best to avoid images of a perverse nature if possible.

It's more about improving people's attitude towards AV than anime in general. It really doesn't matter what AV is into or what other WM sites think about it; the bottom line is a less suggestive image could have been chosen for this article, and should be for any future articles if possible." @b0nd07 said:

" @FLStyle: You're absolutely right. It's downright embarrassing for that to be sitting at the bottom of the page, especially when it has NOTHING to do with the article itself. And at the same time, it totally lured me here. Not sure any sane or reasonable person would call it a "success" though. "Thanks, good to see there are those who share my opinion. A community is of many viewpoints and now people know ours.
Err I do agree that the choice of the picture is wrong but NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!?!" @FLStyle: You're absolutely right. It's downright embarrassing for that to be sitting at the bottom of the page, especially when it has NOTHING to do with the article itself. And at the same time, it totally lured me here.

Its high school of the dead it is mentioned twice in this article. Which you probably didn't even read!" Greetings Anime Vice, the week was starting slowly, but the news really exploded by Thursday. The VIZ publication of Shonen Jump celebrates it's 100th issue, Highschool of the Dead anime is getting dub cast for a U.S. release, the Madhouse Studio is producing a X-Men inspired anime, and Tom Pinchuk gives us a review of the latest FUNimation release of FLCL. Tom's Watch & Learn articles have also started Darker Than Blackand Baccano animes.

" Just came here to tell you the photo for this link is downright offensive and reminds me why everyone hates this fucking site. being a tested and giant bomb regular I hear the complaints but I have watched a few anime and they were rather entertaining (serial experiments lain primarily, but I did enjoy some flcl years back.) Way to get a few clicks for shock value. It's this shit that makes anime so creepy in the first place. Way to have it be your initial introduction to other visitors to WM sites that might wander over. "Are you serious? Downright offensive? Shock Value? Jesus the way people are talking they had a picture of a Swastika down there or something.
