I Dislike Anime - Even The Ones That You Like

Anime is not the problem. Japan is the problem. Animation is just a form of media, and media produced by a culture reflects that culture. There are some great anime, but a lot of slop. The reason it is increasingly infecting the west is because western culture is becoming more like Japan: largely godless, without purpose, and perverted. Thus, slop anime appeals to young people brought up in western societies that are also largely godless, without purpose and perverted.
The literal reason is their culture being so alien to most western societies. They like to tell stories about breaking conformity and destroying the status quo (often some form of god) while people in the west, particularly the US, have nonconformity as one of their core values that's celebrated, even, as you're growing up (everywhere but the work force, for the most part).
It's like how a blonde character is considered a delinquent, over there. They're literally made to keep their hair dyed black, through school, and also keep it cut a certain length. Sometimes even styled certain ways (no hair touching your ears as a male, for example). It makes no sense, given how I was raised, but it's absolutely normal, to them. Their stories will reflect this and will often end up feeling the same, after you see a certain amount.
Anime and pedophiles are disliked outside otaku enclaves in Japan, just like in the West. Japan isn't the problem; the problem is that anime got hijacked by pedophiles early on, and now all anime is blatantly for pedophiles because pedophiles are very profitable. Western pedophiles have the same behaviour; look how a bunch of grown adults went crazy for pastel ponies and little boys watching lesbian sex metaphors a decade ago. If Japanese culture was the problem, all Japanese media would be like anime, but that's not the case. Most people in Japan watch Western media, so the particular anime tropes aren't particularly appealing to Japanese culture either.
 
Most valid anime criticism I've seen tbh.

My threshold for it is also really low, so anime like Naruto gatekept me by doing fucking cutaways between every breath to explain some shit no one cares about. It's like they forget that they're a visual medium with the goal of telling an engaging story, so the lore and world building take precedent over the pacing and narrative flow.
I know exactly what you mean on this. In manga, it’s somewhat forgivable, but adaptation directors for anime should know better than to replicate this in realtime. If it simply must be explained, then they should find a more appropriate time to do it than during the fight. Newer shows have gotten better about this, but the Japanese autism that compels writers there to go to George Lucas-level heights to explain EVERYTHING still permeates Japanese media.
 
The funny thing is that anime is sooooo poorly written that it's like they came up with these in an afternoon (probably because they did). Here, let me try it:

The planet Adelphus-8, once a hub for innovation and prosperity, was occupied by the Lemanian Confederacy during a long war. In a last resort to protect themselves, the Constrigus Galactic Alliance gave the Adelphus-8 Defense Management Center permission to deploy the Nucleonic Fleet, an experimental military unit consisting of superpowered Cobra dogfighters and Nautilus leviathan ships. One of the Nucleonic Fleet's Cobra test pilots is Malent Gurcanian, a key engineer of Constrigus's victory at the Battle of Carthago Alpha. Gurcanian drives all the Lemanian forces from Adelphus-8 and is eventually tasked with attacking the Lemanian homeworld. However, when Gurcanian gets captured by a Lemanian vessel, he learns that he is a Sired Soldier -- an individual genetically enhanced to have greater intelligence and strategic abilities -- and that the true aggressor in the Adelphus-8 incident was Constrigus. Gurcanian must try to mediate the war while discovering the truth behind each side, coping with his errors, and helping both factions live in peace.

There. That took me about 15 minutes to write, including coming up with the premise and names. No AI was involved. This is better than most real robot anime since it has an adult protagonist, and both factions have good and bad sides without requiring a third, morally pure/overpowered faction like the AEUG or Orb or Solt or making both sides evil. And real robot is the cream of the crop when it comes to anime as well! Every one of you reading this post has the ability to make a story that is more original and mature and nuanced than any anime, so there is no reason to tolerate anime for the supposedly good stories. People say real robot shows and LOGH and whatever are more mature than Western science fiction franchises, but that's not true. Lots of Star Wars novels are more mature and better-written than anything anime-adjacent, but weebs will never know that because they would rather goon than read. Also, the reason anime has so much robot stuff is because robots are easy to design -- they have the same basic template, so you just have to add/remove things and change details. It's a design philosophy antithetical to originality because it deals in details rather than ideas, and wouldn't you rather experience ideas than details?
As an avid anime hater myself, cartoons are the superior form of animated media. Bask in the glory of modern western cartoons.
There are lots of good Western cartoons being made still, yet nobody cares about them because the discourse has been taken over by weebs who only care about Calarts (anime) slop and old franchises.
Cool if you don't, to each their own

However if your entire personality is "GUYS I HATE ANIME AM I COOL YET" then you're just as big of a faggot as weebs are.
If you hate anime because you want to be cool, that is a good thing. It's called shame, and shame helps keep people who are too stupid to make the right decisions in line.

Pretty sure the poster you're replying to was being ironic. He was making fun of Western animation by saying it's unoriginal and full of globohomo diversity. The anime pfp makes it kind of obvious
White Emo Girl and Magic
Brown Girl and Frogs

I only trust people that say they dislike anime. Like they have to say it all the time and say it is for pedophiles. If they don't I get suspicious that they are one. There was this guy on Twitter who REALLY hated anime and talked about liking pizza all the time. What ever happened to him? I mean he had to be the most nonpedophile to ever exist to say how much he hated Japanese cartoons. Pretty sure he was a doctor.

Cite your source for Japan disliking anime aside from otakus.

now all anime is blatantly for pedophiles
You're retarded and I'm 99% sure you like anime, you talk about it in the anime thread, so what's that say about you? Tell me how Dragon Ball Daima was pedophilic.

Most people in Japan watch Western media
Again, source.

How many of them have the goal of convincing children to be LGBT?

the reason anime has so much robot stuff is because robots are easy to design
They're probably harder to design.

I should be able to shame people who like lego as a grown ass adult
nOoO you don't understand, every cartoon from Japan is for pedophiles, says the grown man lurking in the toy section.
 
The thing is that anime in general is made for those who are impressionable enough to buy merch later on
because that's how they make their money. Shounen anime is like superhero cartoons in the west, where as
degenerate trash anime (isekai, highschool power fantasy, harem) is catered to degenerates who will buy the figurines
of their favorite "wives" and blu-rays for the uncensored softcore porn.

The writing isn't even on their list, because that's not what brings the profit.

The fact that the majority of Japanese adults look down on anime and otaku? Otaku are the way they are because of anime. Thinking that everyone in Japan likes anime and that it's a normal thing there is delusional weeb thinking. Yes, Japan has lots of anime stuff in public, but those are tourist traps for retard weebs and otaku. The fact that we have lots of gaming stores and game ads on billboards doesn't mean that everyone in the West likes video games. Even Japanese Toys R Us stores only have anime merch if it's a battling toy/card game with an anime, Precure, a Takara robot show with an anime, Pokemon, or Doraemon -- and even then the anime isn't the main draw; the cool toys are.
You're retarded and I'm 99% sure you like anime, you talk about it in the anime thread, so what's that say about you? Tell me how Dragon Ball Daima was pedophilic.
I'm not into anime anymore. I've been growing more and more unsatisfied with it for a while now and finally decided enough recently. I tried watching Combattler a week ago and I turned it off after 5 minutes; I just don't care anymore. I'm glad to be free from the cognitive dissonance of liking something so closely associated with pedophilia yet so appallingly low-quality. Just because something is Japanese media doesn't mean it's super amazing and unique; it often really isn't. Appreciate and build your own culture. I can't speak about Dragon Ball Daima because I haven't seen it.
Again, source.
The fact that the majority of scripted shows on Japanese TV channels are Western? Heck, a good chunk of "anime" on Japanese TV channels are Western cartoons. There's also the fact that anime tends to rip off lots of Western media, and that wouldn't happen if Japanese people didn't care about it.
How many of them have the goal of convincing children to be LGBT?
The best ones don't. Stop consuming rage bait slop and look for yourself.
They're probably harder to design.
How? It's just changing up details; the key shape and features are already there. Making a unique spacecraft (that's not a floating modern vehicle, gun, or log) or a space station is much more difficult because you have a lot more freedom.
nOoO you don't understand, every cartoon from Japan is for pedophiles, says the grown man lurking in the toy section.
I did not say that all Japanese animation is pedophilic. There is a difference between Japanese animation and anime; if anime was strictly Japanese animation rather than a style, then anime conventions wouldn't be filled with gacha and Vtuber stuff nowadays. Things like Anpanman and Shimajirou aren't anime because they don't use the same style.
 
Otaku are the way they are because of anime.
Most fucking naive retard thinking ever. do you think anime just spawned from hell in a vacuum to make Japan lonely? The entire east has a loneliness problem, that's why anime has so much wish fufilment in the first place, you're putting the cart before the horse. Also you wouldn't get harassed buying a video game, it's probably the same with anime there. It's at least tolerated, only in your mind you would think otherwise.
Even Japanese Toys R Us stores only have anime merch if it's a battling toy/card game with an anime, Precure, a Takara robot show with an anime, Pokemon, or Doraemon -- and even then the anime isn't the main draw; the cool toys are.
Of course you would know that
The best ones don't. Stop consuming rage bait slop and look for yourself
Why give it a pass? Wouldn't you rebuke western slop that has no LGBT by association like you do with anime that isn't moeslop pedo garbage? Both of these things exist. Also defending media institutions like marvel and lego is prime soyjak manchild material, and I think you would know about that.
