Besides a few super mature anime, like akire and ghost in the shell, what is the appeal of the stuff? The stupid cheesy as fuck humor, the cringeworthy character acting, every person who is into anime seems like a giant troll. It's almost like my little pony a little bit, when I see the anime avatars and stuff.

Not to mention a lot of anime barely has any real plot line.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
It's for the PLOT.

For some people... there isn't any. They just want to watch GOOD seinen (mature) anime. Seinen isn't the only good genre, though, so those people usually miss out on other enjoyable content because they're not willing to try expanding their taste.

The stupid cheesy as fuck humor
There's a lot of humor types used in anime. If you're referring to the ones used in the trope saturated section of the medium, I'd argue that you shouldn't watch those alone if you're trying to fairly judge anime in general.

English, Japanese, or both? I have a friend who just doesn't like voice acting in general.

Oh come on OP, don't use us as a reference for all weebs (that and I'm not really sure what you mean).

You'd have to elaborate a little on this, but animation style is widely varied and I haven't seen one emulating the animation style of mlp. Maybe I'm watching too many seinen.

There's quite a bit that is artistic, well-animated, and carried by a unique story. Just get away from the shojo and shonen crap.

Well, you know I like taking some cheap shots at people and stuff like that. I don't actually think that all people who are into anime avatars are giant trolls. I just look at people with anime avatars the same way I do people who have mlp avatars I guess. They're both kind of dopey and childish, they seem like something that tends to piss people off. It doesn't really piss me off, but I was just drawing that comparison because I like having something to talk about in the OP I guess.

When I talk about cheesy as fuck humor I dunno if it's the voice acting or the expressions of the characters. It seems like there's so many anime that I watch that just make me cringe when I watch them, because the characters are cheesy and make me embarrassed to watch it. That usually doesn't happen in really good, mature anime.

The angel agreed to trade a set of white wings for the head of another demon. Overjoyed, the demon killed one of his own and plucked the head right off its still-warm body.

The angel then led the demon to heaven, where he underwent centuries of the cruelest tortures imaginable. Finally, the pain was so great that he lost consciousness - at which point his dark wings turned the promised shade of white.
So youre just a clueless person number 165723456

does this stuff even work?
>Has anime avatar


I like anime  for the fact that a lot of shonen has long running episodes, and i like to binge watch all forms of TV(so it's a goodw ay to kill time). It makes for a good form of escapism and the animation styles, for the  most part are visually pleasing and keeps me watching.


Not all dubs are bad, but anything 4kids dubs is atrocious. It's like those guys dont even try.

If you honestly thought this, I would respect your opinion and I wouldn't find it ridiculous or unfair at all.

So... Failure.

Actually, that almost seems to be exclusive with anime fans. I've met people who've said things like "I don't like movies" or "I don't like TV shows", and especially "I don't like books."

I don't see anything wrong with any of those. So why is it so hard for anime fans to accept the fact that some people will just NEVER like their shit? Why do they get so asshurt when someone says "I don't like anime"?
