I personally don't either, but all of my friends do.

*The soldiers in one scene are all too close together while advancing. NATO militaries teach to keep a distance of up to 10ft in case of explosions, etc.
*The headsets the Marines are using are not used by the USMC, they're Canadian. (according to a friend who recently came back from A-stan).
*Abbreviation of Forward Operation Base is simply said as "fob" not "eff-oh-be".
*They called the Stryker a "LAV" (Canadian name and version).
*The ammunition shown were apparently Warsaw rounds, not NATO.
*Why were there ships off of the LA coast when they knew "meteors" were going to hit the area.
*"Meteors" don't reach a planets surface but burn up. "Meteorites" strike the Earth.
Thats as far as I am going to go for now. I don't remember all of them either, but my military friends were quite annoyed.
That's pretty hilarious because I watched the one actor on The Daily Show and he said that the Director felt an obligation to get all the military shit right, or something like that. Obviously he did no such thing, which is certainly a disappointment.

Inaccuracies are hardly a reason for someone to hate a movie. Plenty of movies have inaccuracies in their plots, I base my opinions on movies on the quality of the movie as a whole, not on accuracy.

Most of them seem like either access issues (cheaper to use Canadian parts, maybe), exposition issues (spelling out f.o.b. lets people know it's an acronym, for example) or simple dramatic necessity ( while it's not good practise to group military closely, if the script needs them close together...)

Yes, but anyone who actually knows what is true and what isn't. It can ruin a whole movie.
They got the energy stuff right in that it can take out power in an area. I kept wondering "What happened to the National Guard?" and "Why are there no Black Hawks? Why just Hueys and Chinocks?"

1) Just because some anime are bad doesn't mean the industry is ruined. Also nothing wrong with NGE or Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo.
2) Manga is better but Naruto still pretty much sucks.
2) Pokemon games are better than the anime
3) Its not hard at all to find a good one. http://myanimelist.net/ Though you gotta laugh at which one is the top anime.Saurisisia wrote:

Sounds like you would rate every anime you watched a 10.
