Prohibit wrote They don't? I thought girls liked it more than guys. Guess it depends who you know and who you are friends with.

I wouldn't say that. Personally, I love Anime but I dislike a lot of genres and stick with the classics.

Romance, Comedy, Action (light). It's hard to not like Anime as they're all different.

Edit: Well derp, I read that as "dislike" Coffee please.

How can you disagree? It's a fact.

Your opinion is made up by the type of people around you and who you talk to and what you know.

The guy who made this topic clearly has a lot of girls around in his life who don't like Anime. Doesn't mean girls in other place don't like it.

I mean I don't hate anime if anything it's the boys where i live that hate it and make fun of it...

Julie-Sigtuna wrote I dont know but with boys its the same so... Everyone thinks anime is weird and stuff. Expect for the people who actually tried watching it.

Yeah I know man I totally feel the same

Yin wrote I know many people that hate it because it is a cartoon. It could be a bit of that. People want others to "grow up," and they feel people that still watch cartoons are kids. Could be dealing with that or maybe it is just the content of the ones you watch. Some are totally clean like Pokemon, others are pretty (if not very) suggestive. Just depends on the person and their view of it.

I'd say Anime is a bit more grown up then what is on TV in America.

I mean, do I need to give you more examples of shows that you can't even take seriously? Why would I, a 17 year old guy, watch one of those two shows?

I'd rather be labeled as an "otaku" or "guy that likes anime" than watch these cartoons.

I'd rather be spending my time watching something that took a bit of effort to produce.

Now, I'll gladly watch shows with real people like Criminal Minds, Bones, Castle, ect.

But when you compare Anime to Cartoons, I hope you can see which is less cancerous.

EDIT:

On what some one said about some people taking the whole anime thing too far. In my case, I don't bring up Anime unless someone else brings it up. For example, Someone sees my iPhone case of Rias
iPhone case I had on my phone:

and they ask "You like Anime?"
and I will just simply reply with a simple "Yeah"
and if they keep talking about anime or say they like anime as well then I will engage in a conversation about anime with them.
I'm not hiding the fact that I like Anime and when someone asks I answer them honestly, like there is nothing to hide. It's not like anime is illegal or something.
Yeah, it may be out of the "social" norm but people should still accept what you like and be done with it.

So whats your favourite item on the menu

Well they probably just don't know about it and they think that it's pointless when it's really not

A lot of people that I know have been like that before watching any but they have liked it afterwards

Never watched Anime, might give it a go though.

Why does everyone that hates anime think emo girls watch it like df!!!!
