I bet these anime haters wouldn’t be able to see the difference between Anime and American Animation especilly considering the fact that the two take from one another.

And how stupid is it to say one is too old for cartoons? Does that mean these people will never again watch a rerun of their fav childhood cartoons. I’m 21 and I still watch the powerpuff girls. XD

Cartoons are for kids? LOL
That would mean, if I took a porno and made it into an animation, then it would be okay for 5 year olds to watch.
Does this mean live action is only for grownups? (Blue’s Clues)

Watch Cool World, Perfect Blue, Who Framed Roger Rabbit, DeathNote and tell me if you’ll let a kid watch them?

*loves the reason list*
nice job

I love anime, I love cute things with big eyes, I love both hentai and yaoi, I’m a rabid fangirl *lets out the great rabid fangirl shriek*, and I particularily dislike American animations XD

But aside from that, I have a friend who claims he hates anime, and I’m not sure where that logic comes from. He watched Dragonball-Z, he’s a Pokémon NERD (He’s f*cking third in the championships of our country with the card game!) and is besides from that a bit pointless.

“There is too much stupid cuddlyness and sweetness in anime.”
“Uh… I think you should watch different animes then.”

Well, I certainly undertand it. =D

I want to get my say in so here goes:

First the ‘anime is a waste of time’ is getting pretty old. I understand that some fans tend to get a little obsessed (I should know) but I don’t think you should just label them or anime because of that. I started watching animes like digimon and drakonballz when I was like, WOW, really young. Then I got into Yu-Gi-Oh around the middle of my 5th grade and, it being a really long series, got me through the next two years. So one day I decided to pause a tape and started to draw one of the characters. Ever since then I wanted to become a graphic designer. And that was the best possible thing that could have happened because up until then I wanted to become a vet. A VET! Think about all those poor animals that could have died because I got bored of looking into their stomachs! So anime is an interest just like any other and shouldn’t be rated down because of the FANS.

As for being hugely defensive about anime, you’re kidding right? If you like soccer and someone tells you, out of nowhere, that it sucks of course you’re going to go and pick a fight with them! Because it’s an insult like any other! And most of their reasons are just so stupid you wonder later why you even bothered. If you know someone likes anime why tell them you hate it? As if they care or want to know.

And as ‘being for kids’ that’s such a low blow! People who say that obviously never really saw an actual anime. Many animes are more mature than the some so-called horror movies and dramatic sitcoms out there. And they often have a better plot too! The only reason that they get so tuned down from their original broadcasting is because of ass-like american productions like 4kids dub them into little kiddie shows.

Over here on this side of the world nobody really has a problem with anime or manga. This is probably because it doesn’t push you down the social ladder. Anime is just seen as ‘your thing’. Like a brand or type of music or whatever!

Point is nothing wrong with it, never was, and public anime haters are the ones who should really get a life.

First off,great american animation? I`m sorry american animation isn`t that great,its mostly based off japanese based animation anyways.Anime isn`t supposed to be high in graphic,thats what makes it great!The Japanese are more concerned with kick ass graphics on games and electronics.I see nothing wrong with cosplay or crossplay.I also agree with the Romanian girl,hentai isn`t any worse than regular porn.As for Narutards,I agree,they`re damn idiots.There are so many Narutards out there that it has actually turned me away from watching the anime or reading the manga.I really dislike popular anime until it goes out of style. I like animes that are similar but it depends on if they`re different enough to enjoy.I don`t think its just for kids,there is so much innuendo and suggestive themes that it can appeal to anyone.I seriously think that people need to get over themselves and keep an open mind to other cultures.Although I agree that it is mostly aimed towards teens,what the hell isn`t aimed at teens these days?
Anime is just like any other form of entertainment,you can hate it all you want,as long as at least one person still enjoys it,its still going to be ther when you wake up.

first of all, every individual is unique and has his/her own preferences when it comes to entertainment. i believe that in order to gain respect for your tastes, you’ve got to give respect in return or better yet, accept the damn fact that you can’t expect people to always like what YOU like. the world doesn’t revolve around you, you know! bitching about it in forums like that only shows what kind of personality a person has. the first thing people would notice is how completely IMMATURE and CONCIETED that individual is. ah yes, its a form of freedom of expression ain’t it? but there is still such a thing called DECENCY. what is decency? look it up in the dictionary if you’re too ignorant of the word. i’ll leave you with these words: “RESPECT IS NOT EASY TO EARN SO KEEP IN MIND THAT THE FIRST TWELVE WORDS THAT COMES OUT OF YOUR MOUTH WOULD LAST A LONG FIRST IMPRESSION”.

This makes me remember those high school days. I wasn’t adverse in showing my anime sketches to anyone who asked, but this eventually gave fodder to the class’ snobs to harass me, asking why I liked cartoons since cartoons is for kids. I would answer that animation is just a medium to tell a story and not a complete genre for an specific audience; slapping it as ‘for kids’ was nonsensical.

That’s the best ‘excuse’ I gave, and for me it makes complete sense. But you can’t argue with this people. They don’t give a rat’s ass, they just want to bully you and feel smug knowing they are more ‘mature’ (you know, liking what the popular majority likes). I find it hopeless, so afterwards I would just say “it’s none of your business”. Yeah, pariah of the class it is.

I’m more of a manga fan than anime fan…however, I agree with the ‘big eye’ symptom that kills things even in mangas, but anime is entertaining, sometimes, especially ones by Bones. I don’t count myself as a full anime hater(more like a quater) but I have to say some anime fans can be annoying.

Anime IS considered kids’ stuff in Japan though. Even though there is a lot of violence and nudity it is still children who watch it.

I hope some one will read this coment, since I wanna talk about a related issue, that has been bothering me for some time.

Rather than these who only know anime through the naruturds and yaoi fangirls, I think the mine threat on anime fans are these who see themself as “true fans”, yet claim that “99% of all anime is crap”, opten accusing every show out there to be “generic” or “unoriginal”. It has been bothering me, why those who see themself as the “elite” or “most knowledgeable fans” are also the most judgmental and refer to anime as a contemptible thing.
And this approach only expands!

The reason it bother me so much is because I feel affected by these people. seeing this “99% of all anime is crap” posted over and over again affects you. I’m afraid that this phrase will affect me, and I will no longer be able to enjoy shows I enjoyed so far because I’ll constantly criticize them just as these people, and me enjoyment of anime will thanks to the expanding approach of seeing this shows as crap and the growing ridicule to them and anyone who enjoy them.

tl;dr sick of the ridicule criticism.
