I'm kinda sad I missed this one on it's conception.
OP.
Do you like all movies?
If you don't I'd assume you wouldn't like "all" anime.
But don't forget that anime is the same exact thing as every fiction you watch on TV/at the movies spare the direct human element.
just because you watched a few shitty animes doesn't mean it's all bad.
seems like a stupid opinion just like those who won't watch tv because a good deal of television is garbage.
if you don't like it because you don't like cartoons in the first place, fine.
but i honestly doubt it's that and it fits more into dipshits like elana generalizing at every chance they get.
what is the fundamental difference between...let's say a feature length animated film such as hell an old classic Akira...with a Will Smith Classic Independence day?
of you say animated you are correct.
and if you get hung up animated not being "as good" as a live action film, i honestly can't respect ya for it because you'd have to have a pretty closed outlook on life.
it's the same as everything else in the world.
not all anime is blue hairs, sailor moon and androgynous men
just like not all christians are like westboro
just like not all muslims are terrorists
just like not all tv shows are soul-less and brain numbing.
you shouldn't base your opinions on assumptions and generalizations, if you aren't i apologize, but from how you put your OP, OP I'm lead to believe it's more that you are just generalizing it.
