Anime can be ok but Japanese humor is so fucking bad. The pinnacle of comedy to them is some small character making a stupid face and some high pitched noises.

I'll take funny faces and noises over "my pussy smells like a barnyard" or (insert "ironic" meta pop culture reference here) any day of the week.
 
I don't watch it. I don't like to associate with anime pfps online. I'm sure the majority of anime is enjoyable to watch, but I don't really watch many shows in general. I'd probably not fit in with the average anime coomer cause I'm a fag.
 
No, but i don't really follow it all that much either, and my tastes are fairly normalfag compared to the shit that makes you troon out. Anime troons i've noticed tend to love shit like Revolutionary Girl Utena(An anime about some dyke fencing white men to win the love of a negress), or Sailor Moon.
 
Regarding the whole pedo thing, I recall watching Ms. Koboyashi’s Dragon Maid and being turned off by its pedophile tendencies. Especially regarding Kanna and Quetzalcoatl.

The latter keeps creeping on the eight year old boy and fans are like “LOL. Kid is super lucky.”

I get it’s meant to be humorous, but judging by recent years and the rise of open pedos, I find the whole thing detestable.
 
I used to think I hated anime until I realized the stuff I gravitated towards either had heavy western influence or barely resemble modern perception of anime. For example, I like Cowboy Bebop mostly because it avoids a bunch of stylistic choices I generally dislike, such as super-deformed faces and over the top expressions. That, and most of the episodes take influence from western genres like noir, Mexican crime films, and blaxploitation. There's also Akira, which is a funny case because it arguably popularized anime in the West, but it also avoids those stylistic choices I mentioned and it's really violent too, probably more violent than a lot of current anime. And, while it's not an anime, I adore Berserk partly because it's inspired by European fantasy and partly because it's just a damn good story.

There's always exceptions of course; Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo for example is unironically one of my favorites, partly because the super-deformed stuff helped the comedy, and I like Trigun even though it falls into a lot of the same stuff I generally dislike in anime. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm really picky when it comes to anime I'll enjoy.
 
i just generally don't enjoy watching anime, or associating too heavily with people who do. i've watched a fair few popular series and never found an interest in any of them, and often just got bored and went to go do something else.

i don't like shitting on other people's fun, so i don't really take it to the "if you watch anime you're a retard" level, but after so many people trying to get me to watch their personal favorites the words 'my hero academia' are enough to make me vomit in my mouth a little. also i'll probably hope you get hit by a car if i see you in public wearing an anime shirt.
 
Despite what my choice in avatar may make you think, I actually don't watch that much anime. The amount of shows I've actually sat down to watch would struggle to make it past double digits.

A large portion of fiction is trash. Anime is no exception to this rule. It's fine to have a preference in medium, but treating anime as if it were inherently better than others is absurd and deserving of ridicule.
 
There are movies that I like (Miyazaki stuff, Angel's Egg, Paprika, to name a few) but I've never sat through more than a few episodes of a show and I've given up trying. I just don't dig the animation style. Too stale, not enough movement on screen.

I like manga though, but when I tried to watch Attack on Titan after reading it I felt like they didn't fully animate the comic, it was as if they only made the still images move half as much as they actually would. idk.
 
Anime is the only shit not (yet) woke, you should be sucking its dick. I don't watch a ton of it, I'm more into YouTube videos, but if I'm watching television or film it's usually not going to be some Hollywood propaganda, but instead anime.

I'm not a fan of modern japanese media outside of a few manga and prefer the heavy scifi or fantasy material from the 80s, 90s and 2000s like Gundam, LotGH, Slayers, Bastard, Lodoss and Berserk as some examples.

Gundam is hit and miss past the 2000's. The rest of anime has seeped in over the last 20 years.

Victory Gundam is older but still worth mentioning. It is perhaps the darkest Gundam show to date. Main characters get killed left, right, and center. Lots of character development for those who make it to the end.

G Gundam is great fun but it isn't a Gundam show. It's Dragon Ball Z with giant fighting robots piloted by national stereotypes instead of space monkey martial artists.

Gundam Wing, After War Gundam X, 0080 War in the Pocket, 0083 Stardust Memory, F91, and 08th MS Team are all war dramas with good animation and compelling characters. Worth a watch.

Turn A Gundam is good, worth a watch. I won't spoil it for those interested.

Gundam SEED/SEED Destiny have all the trappings of bad modern anime. Waifus, lazy animation, bad writing (Kira is Jesus, complete with resurrection) and an adoption of computer drawing tools that made everything looks flat and dead.

Gundam 00 is generally good but suffers from dead looking animation and bad CG at times. Also some sheer ass-pull plot conveniences and silly character names prevail.

Gundam AGE is overall trash. Boring characters with ill defined antagonists and an overly soft aesthetic. The only interesting thing it has going is the generational protagonist gimmick where the story starts with one character and ends following his grandson.

Gundam Unicorn is a good show with good characters and great mecha design and animation. Worth a watch. This also applies to Gundam Thunderbolt and Gundam: The Origin.

Gundam Build Fighters is a gunpla commercial. Typical high school anime.

Reconguista in G is almost incomprehensible. I can remember there being a plot but it's like a fever dream.

Gundam: Iron-blooded Orphans is pretty cool and worth a watch but has some overall strangeness to it that seems to be par for the course for 2010's Gundam. A war drama about child soldiers on Mars with illegal neural links installed into them.

Gundam Narrative (?) exists.

Aside from Gundam, other mecha like Patlabor, and most of Miyazaki's works I can't say that anime has an appeal to me. I find too many charaters annoying to enjoy it.
 
ANIME YOU SAY ITS ON ADULT SWIM RIGHT NOW AT THIS TIME ACTUALYYY ON TV ANIMEEEEEE Its saturday
 
Weebs be like: "This soulless corporate product from a company so evil it bullies several of it's workers to death really speaks to me."
 
Yes, because it leads to threads like this.
 
Eh, I find that there's new neat stuff all the time. Heike Monogatari and Ousama Ranking for instance look pretty interesting for series that start this season.

Just a tip in case of die, don't look at any of the extra promotional shit for IBO that came out after it ended it legit ruins the touching/tragic vibe of the ending with pandering marketing moves of "canonization" of shit that needed not to be spoken of.

There were 3 gundam shows I watched as a kid though I never got around to watching ALL because tv reruns yaddayadda bluh bluh. I also forgot about a lot of shit but it mught end up like other shit I forget about where if I'm exposed to it again. ANYWAYS the only 3 I saw were the OG gundam, G gundam, and the fucking weird Superior Defender gundam. Third one was a fucking weird ass thing where the gundams and zakus were actual robot characters instead of mechs. As strange as the thing was, the character designs are cool and I really kind of want to see them in the standard gundam proportions. Also I weirdly rememebrer more shit from that then I do the others aside from the fucked up gundam monster from G gundam and some other shit from all 3 of them. I've meant to try and revisit them someday but I'm too lazy to go digging for copies of them legal or illegal and it's not a top priority thing.

Thats because most anime is realy bad.
Its always the same and super autistic.

There are very interesting animes, but those are mostly some genre series that happens to be anime and not life action.

Umm, how is Berserk not an anime?

Or are you saying you read the manga but ignore the multiple anime adaptations?

EDIT: Unrelated, but I found an autistic reddit post that happens to echo my earlier sentiments. Link:

Of course being a redditor this guy goes on way too long but I still can't help but agree with him.
 
My interest in anime shows died after watching Legend of Galactic Heroes.

That show... nothing can ever surpass it. It is the show you watch when you're ready to sever all ties.
