I don't like it any more or less than other formats(live action, cgi, etc). The good ones are good, and the bad ones are bad.

I love pre-teen schoolgirl tentacle rape. :)

And they are at least creative with it as well. Our porn is nothing but hot chics having sex. With hentai you have hot chics with all kinds of machines hooked up to them in erotic places measuring and testing sh!t for scientific purposes. Then demons with tentacles come in and rape them. I'd like to see something like that in Western porn. :p

just realized i hit quote instead of edit. :p

I've seen...

- Most of Trigun Series 1 (LOVE AND PEACE!)
- Akira
- Ghost in the Shell
- Some other stuff

And I really can't stand it. I tried, God help me, I tried, because most of my friends seem to really enjoy the stuff, but it just seems ridiculous. I particularly hated Akira, and not because it was 'too complicated for me' - I just really, really disliked it.

Somewhat ironically, based on the replies in this thread, the only anime-type thing I've ever enjoyed was the American dubbed version of Dragonball Z :D

I've only seen mainstream Anime, and I saw a few scenes from Akira 10+ years ago at my friends house. None of it has had any appeal to me whatsoever. Of what I've seen, which is admittedly not much, it always looks over-dramatic, and horribly animated. I think I've mostly seen DragonballZ on TV, like I used to have to watch it in the breakroom where I used to work. The style of animation is annoying to me, so assuming most Anime follows a similar animation trend, I don't think I could get into it based on that similarity alone.

And btw, to make the poll easier to swallow (hey, was that a funny?), just exclude the comments after the comma, and just look at it as a yes or no question.

Anyone been watching Samurai Champloo? What a great new series! Cool samurai action set to an easy listening jazz soundtrack. This one is going to be a hot series.

I love when these threads start and people come in saying to just watch the right stuff and it's called "cowboy beebop". That really just says it all, doesn't it?

Actually, it says nothing at all.

I don't even know why, I just do. I'm not going to diss anyone for liking it, as you said, whatever floats their boat. I just hate it. I think it is because everyone I know personally who likes anime is a low-life loser douchebag. Plus, the style just annoys me. They look goofy, move weird and it's all just so cheesy.

anime are just cartoons. the smurfs, transformers, thundercats, etc played a certain role in bringing up kids who grew up with TV.

anime is just better cartoons, as american animation is horrendous. it's about as refined as american cars.

what i really hate is "reality" voyeuristic TV.

Of course an anime fan would just say I've not seen the right stuff, but let's get real; I'm a 21 year old reasonably adjusted person. I don't think that it would be possible for me to "get it".

What is with this recurrent theme in this thread of equating anime haters to reality show watchers? I don't like reality shows either because they are nothing of the sort. I am just curious...
