Anime isn't a genre. It's a medium. It's like saying you hate all sculptures.

Why are SO many anons baffled at the thought that someone might dislike an entire medium? By this logic we should be getting pissed when someone says they hate all tomatoes. Can we stop the inane comparisons yet?

Because it's like saying you hate all movies. Or all podcasts. Or all radio plays. Or all LP albums. Like, I guarantee there's something out there you do like. It's not like a genre, where you have to have certain elements and maybe you hate one of the elements (country music for me, I hate the twang - kinda necessary for country music). It's a medium, and someone somewhere has made something in the medium that you'd probably like.

Anyway, the whole point of my comment was that it's a bad analogy, because anime is a medium, not a genre. To use your analogy, it's like saying you hate fruit because people keep shoving tomatoes at you.

You're just getting lost in it, bro. Time to step away from the keyboard.

And? Maybe someone really doesn't like sculpture.
Also it's not any media. It's specifically Japanese animation that is maybe diverse but still has it's tropes and styles. It's more like saying that you hate all Roman sculpture. Togas don't do it for me

And I was just pointing out that it's a bad analogy. Westerns are a genre, anime is a medium. Anime only has tropes and styles in so much as the culture has tropes and styles. Westerns must have certain elements in order to be in the genre, regardless of the medium. They're not comparable.
