I don't like anime either


It's pretty fucking gay

Even worse are the dudes who post smug anime girls in all their posts

>>37561481
Yeah, I don't watch anime nowadays. I did watch Yugioh, Pokemon, Digimon etc in my youth.

I literally don't know how to get into the world of waifu anime. It all seems so fake and saccharine. Genuinely find it hard to believe heterosexual males are into that sort of stuff.

>>37561653
>tfw only like psychological anime and hates moeshit

Some cartoons are ok, but still fucking gay sometimes. I cringe from time to time.

If you watch it regularly you are literally a beta male.

I don't get why people always have to be like this

yes, some people like watching anime
some people like fapping every day
some people watch interracial midget porn

just fucking let them do their thing
why do we always have to make a big thing out of every fucking small thing

Normies have gone too far this time.

stfu im married to anjme

I don't get the hype either. I enjoy some anime but I also enjoy American cartoons and stuff. Most people I meet who watch anime, only watch anime.

Some have good stories and stuff, but I wouldn't go to the extent some people do.

(i also can't grasp my head around body pillows and "waifus")

>>37561481
I stopped watching anime religiously a while ago. Grew out of it.

>>37561481
I watch some. I like it as a medium. Sure there are some cultural differences, but it's just another format to tell good stories.

>>37562506
Not OP, but where I live, everyone, even the chadest of the chads watches anime.

>>37561481
I like Dragonball and DBZ, mostly for the nostalgia. He's like my generation's Superman. Other than that, I feel like you. They're just Japanese cartoons, there's nothing special about them except for the fact that they're from Japan. Even the Japanese don't give a shit about anime.

because anime is independent and can allow itself far greater freedom of expresion than any corporate cartoon, so as a result there are a lot of creative and reckless works of art out there, just ignore the stereotypical high school bullshit if you're not into it

I like anime because I feel it achieves a level of spectacle I don't really get from other medium. They seem to be pretty good about using those elements in ways that fit the story or completion of a character arc, so when something cool happens it means something.

I'm not sure what's enjoyable about moe, though I won't dismiss it.

It's almost like people have different taste and opinions OP. Shocker huh?

>>37561481
Anime tends to have different production methods and tropes and all that other shit, so people expect different things from American cartoons.

>>37561481
Some are ok. It's the same as asking "yo why does everyone like movies". No matter who you are there is one that you will like if you give it a chance.

I mostly just like using the reaction images here.

The reason they created boards other than /a/ is so people could discuss things other than anime.

Really, the only part of this site meant for anime is /a/ /o/ /h/ /c/ /d/ etc

This is true. But even further, the last good anime was in 2008, after Toradora! every other anime was shit.

Well, Himouto is good but still Toradora! was basically the end all be all to anime.

I don't even know why is your logic faulty.

>>37565716
Television shows, things where you sit down and just watch for 20+ minutes. Whatever the fuck you want to call it i dont really do that because my free time goes into vidya or the occasional youtube video. I have nothing against anime. I even have a huge soft spot for moeshit but i usually never like just sitting down and watching a show like most people do.

Some of them obtusely reference very philosophical/metaphysical concepts that western cartoons don't, they can be thought provoking at least when you're drunk and they also have a certain aesthetic quality that attracts autistic people because it's formulaic.

>>37565752

>>37565792

>>37565823
You're allowed to have preferences, but having focusing on one thing without any interaction for more than a few minutes is a sign of low attentionspan, which is pretty common since the rise of internet usage. The only reason I thought this was because you metioned the "20+" minutes and also mentioned watching youtube videos, which are generally short and consumable.

the anime meme is just because lonely neets spend the most time shitposting using anime images

97% of the community could not care less about anime and actively criticize the betas who support it

honestly watching anime is a huge redflag for mental illness

Idk anon, I only like few productions and the most mainstream ones like Ghost in the Shell, Akira, etc...Pretty good but I don't care for the rest. I'm more of a show/movie person. The anime series I've watched didn't develop anything. But I guess the 4chan culture has affected me overall.

I may be a closeted otaku, though. Always been interested in Japanese culture & stuff,

I only watch action anime. The fights are usually cool to watch, and some of the characters are great. Don't watch any of the schoolgirl, harem, or moe bullshit that people spam.
I used to when I was a teenager, but not anymore. How I made it through Fruits Basket when I was younger, I'll never understand.

Anime is designed to cater to the wishes and fantasies of permavirgin shutin neet betas, hence why it is popular here.

Oh look the protagonist is "the strong silent type" yet despite his apsie lack of social skills everyone likes him for some reason and girls throw themselves at him because he's so mysterious... I swear to god Squall from Final Fantasy 8 set back my social development by fucking YEARS, that shit does NOT WORK.

Also there's a bunch of superhero power-fantasy bullshit that nerds who have no control over their own life will just lap up.

Also porn.
