I hate to throw out yet another cliche example of "But have you seen ____", but have you seen Cowboy Bebop? Personally, in terms of story and artwork, it falls at the top of my list. I've known people who think most of anime is crap but end up really liking Cowboy Bebop.

I'm also curious to know what modern stories/art you do actually like.

This short response may have been a waste of time, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. In the end though, your opinion is your opinion. You can have it, but I seriously hope you understand that it doesn't make you any better than anyone else. There are many more artistically talented, established people out there than yourself who do find artistic merit in anime and manga. How are you going to devalue their opinions without becoming a joke? It's one thing to have a different opinion, but it's something entirely different when you can't respect other peoples' opinions at all.

P.S. From your ugly choice of background image, and the examples in your secret, I bet you haven't even given anime or manga very much of a fair chance. Are you really openminded?

i've been into anime/manga for like seven years or some shit like that
and back when i was a dumbass weeaboo i thought anime/manga was TEH BESTEST OMG
but now that i've gotten over that phase of a few years ago i don't have that horrible "OMG JAPAN IS PERFECT/MANGA IS THE BEST/ANIME > WESTERN CARTOONS" bias
and i agree
oh
so
much

psihaetanimefans

though there is a decent amount of anime/manga artists who are very talented
just they are outnumbered by the ones that SUCK and have very little variation in their art, and pretty much use the EXACT same style as every other artist, and use overly simple anatomy and cheap coloring.
like rumiko takahashiliekwoah

I've given it as fiar a chance as I've been able. Though, there's only so much that's available to me given my location. I just get really sick of obnoxious fangirl after obnoxious fangirl telling me that their pointy-headed big-eyed omg yaoi otp is a realistic depiction of a gay relationship when one of the characters is really just a girl with a penis. And having sexual thoughts about animated characters is sort of weird to me anyway. But I do actually intend to look at the suggestions that have been given to me.

(And, notably, Greenberg got away with being a critic who didn't respect anyone's opinion but his own.)

And if it makes a difference, I hate western cartoons, too. I just don't have to deal with their fandoms.
