I've been in the same position you're in. If you've been exposed to anime for this long and haven't taken a liking to it, you probably never will. My college roommate was a hardcore weeb, tried my darnedest to understand and relate. Never could.

I never really got into it mainly because of how turntable it can commonly be. I don't really have a preference to art styles but what bugs me is practically how bi-polar it can be. You can be in a serious section in one part and then have it suddenly spiral into lol wut in the next five seconds.

That's not to say that there's not bi-polar ones out there, but the genre itself seems to really commonly fall into tropes and things that have been done over and over to death. "Fluffy" type anime just isn't my style and neither is too "dark and edgy like my soul."

There just never really seems to be a good middle ground between the two.

It comes down to a couple of things imo

The first - if you just downright hate it, and I don't mean dislike stereotypical aspects of it but full on loathe chinese cartoons then it's a waste of everyone's time to try to change that.

If you have an open mind, but just generally dislike it then chances are it's down to what you've watched before. There is an obscene amount of ~~content~~ utter shite out there, which is also a matter of taste but eh there really is a lot of crap to sift through for something decent to watch.

For a quick example there are about 45 shows airing at the moment
of those I'm watching 4 and I'd say only one maybe two of those is something I look forwards to each week. That leaves around 40 shows that I wouldn't even bother with the first episode of. I might be missing out on some in there but eh point being there is more shite than stuff worth watching.

If it's just that what you've watched in the past was boring/shit then I'd suggest watching something different that might be more to your tastes <_<

So if you've got some general preferences, chances are the weebs on here can recommend something you might like.
Scifi/fantasy/gore/cutesy/comedic/tragic etc
