I hate Anime and Japanese cartoon culture in general

[RedRalph]

...with a few exceptions. What do you think of it? Am I the only one?

 

[Tahuti]

I do not hate it. But neither do I love it that much. I must say I strongly prefer Western RPG's like Fallout over Japanese ones, like Final Fantasy.

A scourge upon humanity.

Japan is a pretty creepy, Misoygnistic place.

Get off the internet.

Some anime is godawful, some of it is excellent. I don't watch much anymore because I've fallen out of the loop and don't want to waste time watching something which the critics love yet I'll probably hate. I think anime has something for everyone though.

I'm creeped out by Japanese culture in general. Sorry Japan.

Hayao Miyazaki, and by extension his animation company Studio Ghibli (rough Japanese equivalent of Pixar or Disney) are the masters of Japanese Animation. Some of my favorite movies ever.

All other Japanese animation kinda sux.

This sadly, it's a highly misoygnistic culture.

Anime is the reason why we're stuck with the spammy abomination that we call "yu gi ho". (My not being able to spell it is yet another reason why it's an abomination.)

 

[Azale]

More funny are the people who hyperoverreact to it. I watch some anime, that's about the extent of my involvement with "Japanese cartoon culture."

Kind of an unfair generalization with respect to anime. Plenty of shows have female characters who have strong and well-developed personalities.

You are most definitely not alone. Although, I hate all of it.

 

[MajKira]

same here I have something to like in Anime or Manga or Anime Games and something not

I like Anime Chrono Crusade for example and in game terms Final Fantasy VII,8,12
and many more games for PS2

Final Fantasy Advent Children movie is my number one favourite movie

Yeah, I'm sure the women that have massive eyes, disproportionately sized breasts, inhuman shapes (basically objects of desire, rather than actual people) project a strong, feminist vibe.

You got me. I forgot to say that I hated all of it.

 

[aelf]

The same way someone in Iran or Afghanistan or whatever might hate Western pop culture, I guess.

I liked Pokemon when I was a kid and I still enjoy the games. I enjoyed Avatar, which was pretty blatantly influenced by anime. That's pretty much it.

 

[galdre]

Yeah, definitely don't like it

as useless said, it's very misogynistic

Off the top of my head, I can think of Sango from Inuyasha who does not fit this stereotype. Except for the big eyes, but most anime characters have big eyes regardless of sex. It helps bring out a character's personality.

Like say, Barbie? Or Betty Boop?

Or do you just hate everything that isn't some kind of left-wing political statement?
