Remind me what film and music is for then.

are you talking about good music and good film?

art

are you talking about the average film and the average piece of music?

entertainment
the average film and the average piece of music blows dick, though

art shouldn't just be for entertainment

bottom line

Speaking generally, obviously this only applies to my favourites but anyhoo
You've got developed characters, storylines (Such as ones based around implementing a better world for everyone, ending war with a quantum computer etc.) that interest me. Some have very fluid and beautiful animation in themselves, in the same way that you can have pretty artwork and pretty films. Then you have some of the less important but things I do love in any genre, Gore that's not possible/common with live action stuff (Or when it does, it looks awful and fake), plenty of guns (More dakka is always better), comedy/black humour and enjoyable soundtracks.

I could go on, but it's not just 'hurr I like it' it's not something commonly stated because it's like asking why you like reading books or watching films. It's a generic term, so I had to narrow it down to two of my favourites for the examples above.

- lots of things "developed characters" and storylines. that doesn't make it good
- animation is a very shallow reason to like anything--it's like saying, "i like this song because it makes my ears feel good"

you even mention that movies and other art can also have beautiful animation
So what the FUCK makes anime so special?

- gore... like you said, that's... gross? and niche as fuck
- guns are boring as fuck, and you can have lots of guns in movies, too
- comedy and black humor is a legit reason to like something--i can concede to that, but then again, i would argue that that still doesn't make anime special

So, you've done nothing to justify liking anime thus far.
Anyone else?

I don't even think I'm going to waste my time watching every anime ever.

If I say "I hate anime", and you DOUBT me, then you're just a fucking retard.

They can't do it. Not without saying something stupid and generic like, "because I like it."

Its more sensible than hating anime because its anime.

No, it isn't. They have the exact same amount of sensibility.

I don't hate anime because it's anime. Like I said, I'm in the process of starting an anime reviewing series here called "Fuck Anime", and I'm starting it with Ghost in the Shell. I have calculated reasoning for all my hatred. I don't just hate things for stupid, unsubstantiated reasons.

You go to anime message boards?
That's pretty funny.

I don't. It's called an example.

Also, thanks for completely avoiding pretty much every single point I've made in this thread so far.

So, coming into an anime thread and interacting with people there, will what?

Make them discuss it.
Or are we not allowed to make discussion threads anymore?

No. That's not what he said.

Instead of asking why I hate anime, they start DOUBTING me. Instead of either A) accepting it, or B) discussing the follies of anime, they do C) recommend me some bullshit anime that I will probably hate.

the one time that i asked for recommendations doesn't count, of course--because that time, i actually asked for it

this applies to every other anime-related sector of the internet that i've posted on

Why don't weeaboos just ignore me?

Because it's fun messing with you

And it's fun messing with idiotic anime fans who refuse to accept that I hate their shit.

When this first arose, people were suggesting anime they thought you'd like to see if it was simply a matter of you having seen the typical shite that exists in it. You either managed to hate every single one of them, or didn't watch them all, which is your prerogative. But to then continue to shove your stale opinion on it into any thread remotely related to anime is why people are tired of it and why they have all been rusing you with this shit for a while now.

Well, because, first of all, I feel I deserve some sort of apology.

Someone actually fucking thought that I would ENJOY Ghost in the Shell.

I take that as a fucking insult. I want an apology.

And your rhetorical question argument is CRAP. It's NOT a rhetorical question. People actually think that I can't hate all anime unless I've seen all anime. Which is just asinine.

why don't you just ignore them?

Why don't weeaboos just ignore me?

I don't ignore them because it's just fucking retarded. I should be able to say, "I HATE ALL ANIME," and the person I'm talking to should say, "Okay. I understand."

Unless they don't understand. In which case, they can ask me--"Why do you hate anime?" And then we can talk about it. Ideally, it will end with them saying, "Okay. I see your point of view. I don't agree with it, but I understand now."

But no. Every single time I try to explain, I get a number of dumb cunts trying to tell me, "I bet you'd like this anime!"

I BET YOU I WOULDN'T!

They just CAN'T ACCEPT the fact that I hate something that they like.

Oh, and the Ghost in the Shell review is being written as well. That way, I'll be able to actually substantiate why I hated it so goddamn much, and maybe the weeaboos can attempt to explain to me what's so good about it. They will fail, of course.

They don't really care if you hate anime.

Then why do they tell me that I can't hate anime?

They're telling you to watch terrible endless anime in the hopes that you'll leave them alone.

Like I already said. You really only need to watch a few episodes of something in order to determine if it's worth watching. If a show doesn't start getting interesting until episode 743, then it's a fucking shitty show.

And no, don't pull that "I enjoy hating anime" crap. I mean something you actually enjoy.

I actually enjoy hating anime.

Who said you can't hate it?

The average weeaboo.

Weeb: *talking about anime*
Me: I hate anime.
Weeb: How can you say that when you haven't seen them all?

Instead of just accepting my opinion.

It always happens, without fail. You seem like the type of individual who would say something like that, but if you're not, then congratulations.

Adult swim didn't show shit and even then it was typically main stream crap that catered to the lowest common denominator.

That's what we were TALKING ABOUT, shithead.

He was listing off a bunch shitty, mainstream anime. I'm saying, I've already seen a decent chunk of shitty, mainstream anime. I wasn't talking about anime in general.

The craziness is real.

It comes as a result of telling me that I can't do something that I know I can do.

If weeaboos would just accept the fact that I can hate anime without having seen a great deal of it, I wouldn't bother.
