    I do not like any of this shit and feel moral and societal superiority to anyone who obsesses over this crap.

      Editing … I always felt that saying "I don't like anime" is like saying "I don't like movies" or "I don't like music." I mean, sure, you may not like most anime tropes, but if George Lucas was Japanese and he made Star Wars as an animation instead of live action, but the entire plot and lines where exactly the same, would you hate it now?

There's a lot of people who say they don't like books either, but it's all a case of finding the right one for you.

      Editing … @Master Crash if I recall correctly (and I might not) there is a thing in peoples brains that makes them like music, and some people don't have it. I went to high school with a guy who didn't like music. He didn't care for any music, he said that it didn't make him feel anything. Expect lyrics sometimes, but that was more of a poetry thing.

      Editing … I can tell anime varies, I'll even admit it maybe varies enough that there'd be an anime or two I liked if I was willing to sift through the whole genre but I can't be bothered with that. I've tried the Studio Ghibli films fans of the genre rave about and wasn't impressed, I've tried a couple of anime shows with interesting premises (Cowboy Bebop, Hellsing) and felt like the tropes/style of anime dragged them down and a lot of anime just doesn't appeal even at first glance. I suppose I liked watching DBZ and Pokemon now and again as a kid but I wouldn't watch them now. All in all I reckon I can say I don't like anime fairly justifiably.

      Editing … I like anime because animated TV shows are my favorite thing and anime adds a huge number to the pile. I've got Baby Steps and Digimon up there with The Simpsons and My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. I like that there are anime for teens and adults that aren't comedies like western animated adult shows all seem to be (though of course I liked Simpsons and South Park and American Dad and King of the Hill and Futurama and Family Guy). When I saw Noein at the age of 13, I was blown away by it and felt a wish that that there could be western animated shows like it. I've never never really seen anything like Noein or Serial Experiments: Lain. Lain inspired me to write an entire book when I was 14. Gunslinger Girl as a drama has held up really well for me and Fruits Basket had one of my favorite casts ever. But I don't really think of myself as an anime fan in the same way Digibro and some of my friends in high school were anime fans (they were the kind of girls who cosplayed at conventions, Megan looooooooooooooved the Vokaloids). I just love animation. I could say I'm obsessed with animation, but I also watch live action shows like Buffy and Lost and Doctor Who, and Leon the Professional and Breakfast at Tiffany's recently became two of my favorite movies, and I play video games. To an extent, I'm an all rounder, but I don't read books anymore, just pony fan fiction, and although it's an exaggeration to say I don't like music (though I still often say it just to simplify it for people irl), I like such a small percentage that I don't feel a need to go looking for music I like. I appreciate music just as much, if not more, for supporting other fiction as on it's own. I really like the soundtracks in Lost and Noein and the Silent Hill and Final Fantasy series, and the songs in Pony and Disney and Family Guy and such. I have my own set of tastes that's hard to label, though calling me "that pony guy" works fine.

      Editing … I'm the opposite. I don't particularly care for live action, but I absolutely adore animation, including anime. I've tried watching some "classic" movies, but I just can't get into them. I find live action to be inherently boring. When I watch something, I want to be taken out of reality, and seeing real actors in a real world setting doesn't do it. Because of this, I tend to watch sci-fi, fantasy, and super hero movies almost exclusively. None of those genres ever try to be realistic, which lets me enjoy them more. Outside of those genres, I can't think of a single time I wanted to watch a movie after watching the trailer for it. I hear people talk about how great whatever movie is all the time, but all I see is normal actor A and normal actress B talking or something. They just... don't interest me. Animation, on the other hand, instantly grabs my attention. I love and am marveled by the animation, and find myself far more capable of connecting with a cartoon character than any actor in a live-action movie. I've really tried getting into movies, but it always comes back to me having an active dislike of live-action.
