Unpopular Opinions Society

Vampire, werewolf and/or zombie books, movies and TV shows are vastly overrated. With the possible exception of Grimm, which is pretty amusing.

No way... at least as far as books go.

Lincoln makes an awesome vampire hunter, lol.
 
Anime varies greatly though. Some is basically just porn with ninjas. But I find anime like Spirited Away to be very well written, and Grave of the Fireflies actually got me to tear up, something a traditional movie has yet to accomplish.

Hayao Miyazaki movies are just quality stuff. :yes:http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0594503/
 
I have no opinion on the werewolf/zombie/vampire craze. I mean if you like that drivel, good for you; but it's not my cup of tea. However, whoever wrote Pride and Prejudice and Zombies needs to be punched in the face.

Same guy who wrote Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter, lol. Fun reads even if they are drivel. :p

Have you ever given any of them a try?

ALVH is one of the coolest, most oddly-well-researched books I have ever read. I have yet to read Pride and Prejudice and Zombies but it's probably pretty funny too.

I haven't read PP&Z yet, but my daughter has and loved it. She was a big fan of the original book as well. My sons talked me into ALVH, I'm getting quite the kick out of it.

It's actually much better than I expected. I read the original Pride and Prejudice before reading the PP&Z just because I'd heard that it was almost identical with the exception of the added zombies and ninjas so I wanted to be familiar with the original story before starting it. Jane Austen is actually included as a co-author. And yes, it was really good.

Seth's newest book, Unholy Night, was also decent, but not as good as ALVH or PP&Z.

Yeah I watch that kind a lot.

Those are both by Studio Ghibli. Among the highest art form ever to grace this species. That's how I describe those films.
