You're not the only one. I dislike it too...

Why? I can't really give a reason... I just don't like the big eyes and the overall art concept...
It's like kindergarten children: Too loud, too colorful, too hyper...

The thing about disliking anime it's like saying you dislike cartoons. There are a ton of animation genres out there and not every animation is like Tom & Jerry or in Japanese animation Lucky Star or something like that. You have Disney who use animation to tell great stories and many cartoons are designed for many different types of people., Western cartoons have their hyper loud obnoxious shows and they also have stuff for older kids like the Batman animated series. Same rule applies with Anime it's not all big eyed people being hyper and crazy there are serious Drama shows and Action shows,Sci Fi shows and even Ghibli movies which take notes from Disney. So i think it's kinda odd for people to say "I dislike anime" it'd be like saying "I dislike films" when considering how many films exist there will be always films you like.

I'm with you there. When did anime itself become a genre? :huh:

Haven't watched any new anime in a long time but Wolf's Rain was simply magnificent. Like every medium, you have the good and the bad.

This thread is so full with ignorant and shallow-minded people that I can't even be bothered to mix myself into the discussion yet again.

The only anime I dislike is that which has the idiot main character who everyone constantly puts down, etc.

Most of the time I don't bother watching it, since I'm usually disappointed. I think the most resent one I sat down to watch was Highschool of the Dead. I made it to the second-to-last episode before I realized I was just in denial, and that the show really was just a piece of crap.

On the other hand, I thought Hellsing was pretty good. Would be better without Alucard McMary-Sue tainting it, though.

Not to mention the pale, one dimensional characters that usually are in anime *looks at Son Goku*

And yes I detest Naruto, I stopped taking it seriously a while ago.

My opinion is still the same as what it was 4 months ago.

I do hate most anime.
But in anime's defence I also hate most videogames, movies, music, people etc

So what's my point?
Err, try Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Planetes or Samurai Champloo.
They're awesome.

Yes, yes it is.

He isn't exactly an idiot anymore, in battle at least. Out of it though, well...:whistle:

That's the case with most shonen anime, imho. And it's certainly frustrating that fans of those actively dislike main characters who are actually not so one-sided. They fave anime characters based on "strength" or "badass", and "story-lines" for endless battles/awesome-fights. These shonen-fan-boys and that kind of anime/attitude are to be disliked, of course.

Watch X and Karas: The Prophecy, if that doesn't show you there's some quality anime titles out there, then nothing will.

Actually, a really good one that's older is, Rurouni Kenshin.  Seasons 1 and 2 are really good, season 3 I agree it went downhill and forsook everything that made the series great.

The fight between Kenshin and Saito where the Battousai reemerges is like my top pick for best action sequence in an anime.

Son Goku comes from a gag manga/anime for kids, do you also hate Bugs Bunny and Mickey Mouse?

Anyway my take on this topic now most anime today kind of really suck, go with manga you fools!

I also kind of hate myslef for watching the new Hunter x Hunter anime because they edit it to no end for kids but I still love the story, damn you Togashi and your good plots.<_<

Yo eroeru that's why you need good shonen like Hunter x Hunter or One Piece(but it still sucks it gets fanboys like the ones you are talking about) and I am talking about the manga for both, their anime shows are okay at best, oh and Bakuman no fights in that shonen manga/anime.=]

Really need to get myself into manga-reading... Though for Hunter X Hunter I'll probably watch the older series first (love the art-work - kinda Berserk'ish). I've watched Bakuman, and though I didn't get into it at all first, it still stayed with me for its originality amongst shonen stuff. :)

Do we have a necro-able anime appreciation thread around here somewhere? Would love to get more discussions and suggestions regarding it. ;)

I am in a group that needs more life in it, if that helps.

Also  for a shonen it can get very Berserk'ish=]

I enjoy ones like Grave of the fireflies (yes I cried like a baby through it), Kiki's delivery service, Howls moving castle, Spirited away, the Death Note series, Appleseed, Princess Mononoke. Most of them are very whimsical and done beautify if you know where to look.

Thanks for the invite. I'll try to discuss something there.

One more thing - Air Gear was absolutely fabulous, if it can be indeed called shonen in the strict sense.

Ah, I was wondering when someone was going to show up and start nitpicking over the use of the word "anime."

But see, you forgot to tell everyone the best part: nobody cares.

That's an important thing to keep in mind.

Personally I can't stand anime. I don't like the art style or characters portrayed and story lines are generally predictable among other things. Then there is that hentai crap that I just want to avoid all together. There are very few I actually like.

The only Animes I allow myself too watch, since they were/are good, is Sailor Moon and Code Lyoko. But of course I haven't watched them for at least 5-6 years.
Well Code Lyoko until a few weeks ago, until I knew it was returning next year. Anyways, any other anime show? Like Bleach, when I watch it I Bleach my eyes and brain.
"Todays" anime shows are sh*t.

I think disliking "anime" is rather too broad of a statement. This is like saying "I dislike food" or "I hate movies". Sure, maybe you do actually hate all movies, but surely you must have liked some movie once, like Dumbo or Kill Bill or something.

In general, I dislike the anime style as I am not a big fan of the animation and art style. That being said, there are some very awesome anime films like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Spirited Away and the upcoming Dragon Age movie (yes, I am shameless). Again, speaking broadly, I find many anime films and shows to be more style than substance. Possibly it is because they are written and drawn for a Japanese sensibility and cultural acumen that I lack as a non-Japanese person or a person that has not spent time learning to appreciate it.

However, the one thing I do hate about anime is those extreme anime fans who treat ALL anime as the best thing since ramen. Just like cartoons and animation in North America, Europe or anyplace, some anime is very good, but some is complete garbage. Realize this and spend your time and money on the good stuff. *sheesh*



:devil:
