The I Hate Anime Thread
<inserts tongue squarely into cheek and dons troublemaker hat>
Seriously, what's up with all the anime fanaticism these days?
When I was a kid, anime and manga comics were the passtimes of goths and comic book nerds, yet these days it's everywhere.
Personally I think anime is a total load of absolute bollocks. The animation is usually pretty crap, the stories are often non-sensical, the jokes are rubbish, the characters annoying... I could go on and on.
AM I THE ONLY PERSON ON THIS FORUM WHO IS SICK OF SEEING BIG-EYED-SMALL-MOUTHED CHARACTERS ALL OVER THE PLACE?!
:crazy:
I am not trying to start a flamewar here, so you can leave your "LOLZ!!11 But anime R teh coolz0rz, n00b LOLZZZ!!!111" comments elsewhere. This isn't a thread for you to rant at me about how anime is cool - I genuinely want to know if there are other people here who think anime is crap.

well leigh, if you check out the anime pic hread you will realize why anime is popular among the male gender.
However I think you are being a bit harsh. If you watch the good anime movies (Ghost in the shell / Akira / Ninja scroll) you will find that the art and animation is quite good actually. I know the stories might seem nonsensical, but thats because of the english translation. try look past that, get into a japanese frame of mind if you will. you might start to like it.
I do hate some manga. namely those crap TV shows called Dragon Ball Z and Pokemon

really? you didn't like those? thats a first I must say. you didn't even like the action sequences from ghost in the shell? come on you must admit those were good.Leigh wrote:Seen all three and hated all three. I really disagree about the animation being good - the movement is jerky and more often than not they're just long series of static poses on moving backgrounds.GreyWolf wrote:(Ghost in the shell / Akira / Ninja scroll)
I know what youy mean about the static shots with moving backgrounds but thats the style, you know suspence...

Thank the Invisible Pink Unicorn (bless her holy hooves)!!!
I thought I was the only one who hates Animé!!!
It's the worst thing since women who don't shave their ... uhm... back on topic....
@Wolf, If I want to see great action sequences, I watch the matrix.
And if I want to see skimpy clad girls (REAL GIRLS), then... Well, that's another story. But the point is, Animé is (or should be) for Japanese kids. I don't want to get in a japanese frame of mind. My South African Frame of mind serves me well.
@Y0da, don't be afraid. I'll be on guard.

Kronos, well said, but the matrix is nothing but a live action manga. I have no doubt in my mind that its where the inspiration came from. In fact Matrix is exact copy of ghost in the shell.
Now I'm not sayin you should like it, but you have to respect it.
On the topic of the scantly clad girls I agree with you to a certain extent. Howver animated females have one big advantage. they do not have biology or gravity or physics or any other science hindering their shape. In other words they are drawn to represent the ultimate woman according to the twisted mind of the viewer.
Anyway... I suppose this is one of thos pointless arguments about taste. So I will now quit justifying/explaining, and you may hate on if you so wish...
peace

I must ask to join this hateing anime group. They are cartoons and I really think that the story lines are terrible... (At the risk of generalising a bit, they are) Mostly its just cliche hero/save me/i'm bigger than you storys - that really really doesn't appeal to me. I find it hard to believe the number of adults that are fans of this type of story!
But I suppose each to his own... And by the way I much prefer looking at real women rather than a drawing... How do you find a cartoon attractive?
Glad you brought up the topic Leigh...

It's hard to do the one without the other. I for one will never like it because I don't get it. No really, I don't. It's not funny, entertaining or well drawn. Yes i know it conforms to a certain style and that's quite all right. Everyone has different ideas of style.GreyWolf wrote:Now I'm not sayin you should like it, but you have to respect it.
To give you an example. Every now and again my little nephew will insist that I watch Pokemon, Digimon, Dragonball Z or whatever the flavour of the month is and I do so to please him. But I hate every minute of it. I'm always wishing I was somewhere else doing something else. I even downloaded some episodes of other anime series to see if I may be missing something. Nothing. It does nothing for me.
Just when I got the hang of life they changed the rules.

<erm> I'm stuck on the fence.......I enjoyed watching Robotech Series on television purely for the hi-tech mecha.....the "human aspect" didn't appeal to me.
I have not watched any anime or manga since then,
so cannot comment on contemporary material.

i was wondering how long this would take to come up...
time to give my 2c...
i mildy like the action packed anime but i would definitly be drawn to it alot more if the animation was better. you can definitly get better animation watching cartoon network the action scenes are good granted. another flaw is i want to watch the cartoon not read subtitles, i find i miss half of the scene and words...

OMG
Yoda u funny!
erm i dunno what to say!
Speaking in General
if u didnt watch Anime as a Kid,
Then u were born a Grownup!
today i still wish i could watch Robotech on TV etc.etc.
also everything has to be drawn before it takes shape,
or at least i think so!
Gaming starts with drawings & ideas!
and then everything takes shape

i dunno anymore!
I just Love It & im a Die Hard Fanatic!

Just have to say something here If people hate anime I dont care, its not like it make a diffrence to me.
For those that say the graphics are bad, have you seen Advent Children? The animation is just as good en imo even better than movies like Shrek, Iceage etc(No Im not saying I hate Shrek and Iceage, both are extremely good)

Yeah! lol... Ive tried to watch it, but its really not so cool.... What was it ah.. Ghost in the Shell, Fell alsleep on three differnt occations... It just bored me to sleepKronos wrote:Exactlly. We could be downloading p_orn with that bandwidth...Sojourn wrote:*raises hand*
I dont "hate" anime per se, as it's easily avoidable. What grinds me up is that some 15y old kiddie is killing bandwidth that could have been used better.
