I chose not to vote cuz your poll picks are disturbingly skewed.
what do you watch instead? something like American Idol? this thread is quite offensive to put it nicely. name some of the stuff you like so we can mock it the way you did it. if you dont find any rudeness to your post then more power to ya.

i agree with yukichigai and others, imagine someone writing off hamburgers after trying his first McD happy meal. there is a whole lot better stuff out there, maybe you should try something better before criticizing.

He'd watch the stuff that was on the Starz Action channel a lot, as well as Cowboy Bebop and Trigun on dvd (neither of which I actually watched more than one or two episodes of, but they seemed to be on a whole different level than the other crap I mentioned).
Sometime, sit down and watch Episode 20 of Cowboy Bebop. I've yet to know someone who didn't like that episode.

Watch Princess Mononoke before judging anime based on DBZ/Sailor Moon/etc. I'm not a huge anime fan but there are some movies I do enjoy.

Princess Mononoke
Spirited Away
Ghost in the Shell
Akira
Ninja Scroll
Vampire Hunter D

A couple of others.

BTW, for those of you who claim all anime to be 'boring, stupid, etc.' please post what you've actually seen.

I mean, I'd like to know if it's being judged on DragonBallZ or Speed Racer or something. That would be like saying all comedies suck because you saw 'Freddy Got Fingered'.

No, to be more accurate it'd be like saying all action movies suck because you saw "Codename: Jaguar".

*shudder*

I don't like it nearly as much as I used to, but it's still cool. I still enjoy watching a few anime shows.

Add in Grave of the Fireflies and that is basically the "must see" list of anime.

AGAIN IF YOU LIKE IT THEN COOL IT'S JUST THAT I DON'T. This is not intended as a flame. Get it? Got it? Good? (I know how passionate anime lovers can be). :D

What exactly don't you like about it?????

Every so often you stumble across good anime. If you like sword fighting action, look up Kenshin

I don't see what the attraction is with anime. I've seen the first one on that list. I didn't like it. It was boring, and the story was bad.
