Why do people hate anime? Faceit plus user  |  ENCE |  England naDalous Whenever I see posts about anime they get so much undeserved hate. I feel like people just follow a bandwagon of hating anime just because it is popular to. I guarantee that most of these types of people have never actually seen a single episode of any anime in their lives. For those who genuinely dislike anime and have at least tried to watch some, could you list some reasons why as it will provide a nice contrast to the unreasonable hate? I personally think Japanese storytelling is amazing and is severely underrated because of this awful stigma surrounding it. Most of my favourite stories from shows are actually anime series'. TLDR: Anime hate is unreasonable. 2022-01-04 17:07 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 Topics are hidden when running Sport mode. #1 floppy |  Albania amogus lots of loli and a pretty shit community! 2022-01-04 17:07 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 3 replies #15 ropz |  India psn46 Lmao +1 2022-01-04 17:15 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 1 reply #66 Uruguay AnthonyDavissss Maybe because animes means losers Who cant bang a single woman. 2022-01-04 18:37 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 #64 ropz |  Estonia CYLOR +1 2022-01-04 18:36 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 #2 Germany |  Austria Ostmark hltv.org/forums/threads/2567244/underrat.. 2022-01-04 17:07 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 #3 constantinos |  Cuba LastSupper People have to respect cultures 2022-01-04 17:08 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 #4 Old school: User been here for more than 10 years  |  madlikewizards |  Denmark slacking because most are weebs 2022-01-04 17:08 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 #5 Europe EgeBamyasi i hate weebs it's different 2022-01-04 17:08 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 #6 Armenia vemboy just stfu lol 2022-01-04 17:09 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 4 replies #17 Faceit plus user  |  ENCE |  England naDalous Thanks for proving my point! 2022-01-04 17:18 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 3 replies #18 Armenia vemboy u are british 2022-01-04 17:19 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 2 replies #20 Faceit plus user  |  ENCE |  England naDalous But I have a brain and can actually form my own opinion 2022-01-04 17:22 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 1 reply #65 DEv |  Sweden ice!

People passionately hate on things. I dont get it. Nobody is forcing them to like it but why so strongly hate on something? I dont like 95% of rap music but so what. I dont hate it still. I dont like most of finnish movies because they are depressing and bad, but so what.

That particular art style started out as a cheap alternative for cartoons and because it became popular they really aren't making any improvements to it because if its not broke why fix it. I would much rather watch any other style of animation or live action film/show besides this. I am not saying that anime shows can't have a good story or that they can't be good its just that I really do not care for the way that its animated. I don't think they portray emotion very well, to the point that a lot of them are putting a symbol next to the face that they are making because they look so similar from mad, yelling, crying and laughing. Next, there is so much yelling. OMFG stop. Look up any anime fight scene good or bad, its practically ear rape with a bunch of colors. The girl characters are always super fucking whiny and I can't stand to listen to that shit. Also there is the whole weeb/japanophile obsessions that people develop to the point that anime is their personality. There is also just a ton of weird anime that just allows people to attempt to normalize their twisted fetishes. Tons of pedo baiting and other weird shit. Idk man all I'm saying is if you take the story and put it with any other medium I would likely enjoy it more. TLDR: Art style isn't great IMO and they dont care + tons of weird genres/fandoms that exist almost exclusively in that space. 2022-01-04 17:23 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 5 replies #27 Faceit plus user  |  ENCE |  England naDalous Thank you for your opinion and reasoning. I guess art styles are subjective, and if you prefers others then that's absolutely fine. I'm not sure about the portraying emotion part, as I seem see the difference quite easily. I think the symbols are more just for a comic strip effect thingy. Characters yelling a lot and whiny female characters is understandable but I personally don't mind it. 2022-01-04 17:27 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 4 replies #30 United States biggestidi0t I guess my point about the emotions isn't that I can't understand them its just that I don't see why they feel the need to put the symbols in if the art style itself is good enough at portraying them. If it is for the comic strip thing then idk but its just another stylistic choice that I don't necessarily agree with. 2022-01-04 17:34 Please log in and sync your account with Steam to upvote. 0 3 replies #32 Faceit plus user  |  ENCE |  England naDalous I guess thats just Japanese art styles in general.
