(Anonymous) 2009-02-06 11:20 pm (UTC)(link)I've tried several different anime shows, of many different genres. Hated them all. I don't like the art style in general, I didn't like the pervasive dramatic conventions and character archetypes, I didn't like them. Why should I keep trying? If you don't like cheese, and you try all sorts of different cheese and still don't like them, why bother continuing? Why not just say "I don't like cheese," and move on with your life. But you, anon, seem to think that I should keep trying when everything I know and have experienced about anime indicates I won't find a show I like. I'm not going to torture myself spending my fandom hours watching shit I don't like just because you think I should.
TL;DR: the only people more annoying then people who categorically hate anime are the people who think everyone should like anime.

(Anonymous) 2009-02-07 12:06 am (UTC)(link)To clarify, I have no problem with people like you at all. In fact, I applaud you for exploring anime of several different genres and going into them with an open mind. My chief complaint was with people who have seen only one anime, or only one genre of anime, or only one art style of anime, and assume that there will never be anything for them within the medium. The bile in the secret was directed at people who think they're somehow superior because they don't like anime, when in fact their impression of it is incredibly narrow.
The real issue, for me, is the genre one. A lot of people try to shoehorn anime into being a genre, in which all shows are essentially the same, and if they don't like one, they won't like any. That's like saying all movies or all TV is the same. "Hannah Montana" =/= "Supernatural," and "Cardcaptor Sakura" =/= "Ergo Proxy," I don't care how you cut it. So again, kudos to you for recognizing that and making the effort.

For me, I think it's hard to really say "I like anime" or "I hate anime" as a blanket statement because they really kind of vary from genre to genre. I'll be the first to admit that I think most anime out there is garbage, but then again, most tv shows are garbage, too. Also, I've ran across people that couldn't care less about anime in general, or who couldn't stand anime for the most part but had one or maybe two anime series that they really liked.
Basically, it's hard for me to grasp the concept of someone not liking anything animated in Japan. I see it as someone saying "I never read books" or "I never watch tv" (and these are not entirely uncommon either, but still...)
Nevermind, I guess I don't have a point to make.
