some people asked for more valid reasons
- spawns weeaboos - makes japan look weird, in the sense that their popular culture involves the surrealist themes of anime (not saying that surrealism in general sucks) - storylines are usually the same: some girl(s) with powers has to fight either a giant corporate superpower, a demonic legion or an independent supervillian - has built itself into the only thing that japan is known for, outside of eastern asia |

By my powers of clairvoyance, I can see that you haven't seen very much anime...
Also, you're a troll.

Still no reason involving quality minus the generalization about girls w/superpowers and whatnot If you haven't experienced it, you can't have an opinion on it. |

IF you werent butthurt, you wouldnt waste your time doing it. And no one's opinion is "incorrect". Nor are they correct. No one will always have the same opinions. Grow up. |

"pokémon is anime right"
I'm not very keen on anime, and if OP found out pokémon was, and he watched it and liked it, he would probably auto hate it anyway.

Fire Emblem is from Japan, too.
So I know about stuff outside of Japan. |

@TubbyTeddy
Alright, you do that
(oh, and also, watch out for any animes that might include a creature with those squid-like body parts, it won't be pretty.)

@Taven
I can respect that...
@ImVeryDifferent
But the reasons you give are awful: saying all anime is about girls with superpowers is like saying all movies have racist stereotypes.
And also, saying that anime is the only thing people know about Japan? HELLO! What about it's culture? It's rich history? It's amazing plans for the future?

"IF you werent butthurt, you wouldnt waste your time doing it."
that's illogical because it ignores that humans are social creatures and enjoy discussion in general, arguments included ('waste your time' also raises the question: what does that mean? if it's a waste of time for them to write that, is it any different for you to reply to them? and is it any different from replying to any other thread on this forum? why or why not?)
"And no one's opinion is "incorrect". Nor are they correct. No one will always have the same opinions. Grow up."
opinions aren't incorrect but the reasoning which helps to form an opinion can be incorrect
"Oh, what an original insult."
it was petty for them to resort to name-calling but probably no less so than your "You seem butthurt" _ "- spawns weeaboos"
this is not a valid point for assisting the conclusion that 'anime sucks' in itself despite any personal thoughts on the general subcultures surrounding anime
"- makes japan look weird, in the sense that their popular culture involves the surrealist themes of anime (not saying that surrealism in general sucks)"
the same thing as above perhaps you should have concluded that "anime should be kept away from the close minded"?
"- storylines are usually the same: some girl(s) with powers has to fight either a giant corporate superpower, a demonic legion or an independent supervillian"
if this were a statistical truth then it would make some sense, but it's far from that
"- has built itself into the only thing that japan is known for, outside of eastern asia"
i could list fifty words besides "anime" which the average person should/ would immediately associate with japan |
