I mean I get it tbh. I enjoy both media (tend to avoid shonen) but some of the common tropes can be a turn off. Some of my friends (lovely people) are hardcore fans and as much as I love those people, I can only tolerate so much of “have you seen crunchyroll has this new show? It’s called “I was a high-school tuba player but I woke up in a video game now I travel the dungeon with my magical talking dog” and it’s about…” before I steer the conversation away
Pretty short name for a generic anime. /s
These anime follow the “Fallout Boy Guidelines of Naming Conventions”
Not inherently but I hate most anime tropes. Most anime are also very childish or straight up nonsensically bullshit, just “too out there” if you know what I mean. There’s the odd decent one though, and the rare gem, but I can’t really be arsed to wade through the absolute pile of garbage first to even find them.
Im with you on this. I don’t dislike anime/manga as a medium. However, there is a tendancy for the format to exaggerate things I find annoying. That and the fan culture, much like many other highly dedicated fanbases, can be a major turn-off as well.
Yeah, anime has a lot of fanboyism that overrates things. After loving Attack on Titan I saw a lot of recommendations for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. I even checked some ratings and saw it high up there, often past AoT even. I watched one episode and almost died of cringe. This makes taking recommendations seriously really hard, because you just cannot trust most weebs to actually give you an objective one.
If Fullmetal Alchemist cut out the super anime bits I would like it much better. The over exaggerated faces, the # forehead, going chibi, dramatically dropping animation quality. It was really hard for me to get through some elements of that show. I honestly think it was more of the fandom that ruined it for me, because whenever one of those anime tropes happened it reminded me of people who made those tropes their personality and I would be hit by a wave of cringe.

Having a nice conversation with your enemy, the enemy telling the alleged hero his secret evil plan, the constant inner monologues explaining what just happened as if I didn’t see it happening, the constant inner monologues explaining the most ridiculous things that happen as if they’re a given and not just making up bullshit as they go, etc. etc.
I can maybe bear a little bit of those tropes, but if the whole episode is just that then I’m noping the hell out.
And yes, some people carry this kinda behavior into real life too. Don’t even get me started on that.
I dislike most of it like I dislike most of any other media be it literature, cinema or music. That being said I can’t stand western anime like Avatar and whatnot, also Marvel and DC comics, tried a lot of this shit, it’s pretty bad.
I don’t like black & white comics of any variety. I have terrible trying what the hell I’m looking at without color to break up stuff, especially crowded panels.
That’s a big part of the appeal of some artists, they can keep the panels clean while not detracting from the action. They’re few and far between, but they are out there.
I don’t think I’ve ever been exposed to either. I mean, I know they exist, but I’ve never watched or read either and none of my peer group does (that I know of)
Me.
I’ve tried. I won’t say it doesn’t deserve to be liked, but it does absolutely nothing for me.
I am sure there are. Just like there are people who don’t like comic books.
I don’t care for any of it. I don’t like comic books and I don’t like Star Wars either.
💯
We are the same person. I also don’t like Star Trek or any of the other star* shows.
Almost. I like Star Trek because of the women.
Yeah, like that time Quark was one 🥵
Even Stargate?
Yes, even galactica.
Hell yeah. I’ve finally found another who will say it out loud.
He’s a witch!
Burn him!
like most things, some of it is very good but the vast majority of it is extremely poor. I wouldn’t say I like or dislike it as a rule but I’d say on average I dislike it by far, and when it’s bad it has a way of being very intolerably bad.

So we don’t understand then?
Right, but you deleted it so we can’t.
Why say something so pointless. Just tell people how you feel about it instead of basically saying “You’d know how I feel about it if you knew how I feel about it”.
Damn, now we don’t know what we don’t know, because the guy deleted another comment lol.
The OP’s comment (which has now been deleted) was “If you read some of the comments I’ve deleted, you would know.”
Interesting way to try and argue with someone lol
I don’t know that I dislike it necessarily, but I’m definitely not into it. I used to watch some stuff on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network when I still lived in the US. I don’t think I’ve actively watched anything since I lived in Japan. I think all I’ve watched has been sitting next to my wife when she as watching something (jujutsu kaisen or something like that, IIRC).
I tried to read manga for Japanese practice, but I generally got bored with anything I could mostly read and put off by anything I actually wanted or needed to as it meant so much dictionary time (for day-to-day stuff, I can mostly read what I need and I speak Japanese at home, so my level in that regard is decent). An example is wanting to get my HAM license in Japan. So much legal stuff is required for study as well as all the various terms for voltage, frequency, etc. in Japanese. I had a bit more success reading a textbook to get my hunter license for trapping, but it was still quite tough (and I didn’t finish since, as it turns out, the place I moved to doesn’t have as many critters eating my fields as I thought it might).

Yeah.
Not me, but I’ve met plenty of people that just adamantly hate all forms of animation. I didn’t much care for those people. They all had ACME sized sticks up their asses.
Yes I despise it, I hate the influence it’s had on making everything over sexualized and cliched
No, but I like retro anime a lot more than modern anime.
Grendizer, Captain Harlock, Captain Future, this is the best

Those are pretty broad categories. It’s like asking “Does anybody dislike cartoons and comics?”
To my utter dismay, I’ve learnt that there are some people who find that question entirely sensible and normal.
I know people who will refuse to watch anything animated or comic related
ive got a friend who will say all the time that she doesn’t like cartoons but was literally ready to shove kids out of the way to watch kung fu panda 4
Does anybody dislike media?
Not quite as much as I dislike fun.
It’s like asking “Does anybody dislike cartoons and comics?”
I have to disagree.
Comics is a huge, world-encompassing category of media in which events & stories are depicted through (generally) simplified art with text insertions. Manga (for example) is a subset of comics, being both specific to a single country as well as existing as a certain style of comics.Personally I’d add that manga tends to exist under fairly tight conventions in terms of how things are visually portrayed and in terms of how information and context is given towards the reader. For example, kind of like emojis, there’s a bunch of facial reactions and certain simple phrases that instantly tell you what mood or reaction a character or the author is trying to impart. This kind of thing isn’t surprising to me either, as Japan tends to heavily codify cultural tradition, even in a relatively new-ish field like manga. There’s also the fact that an enormous tradition in manga came out of aping or riffing on the early creators, primarily Tezuka Osamu I’d say.
So, point is-- one can dislike a certain niche or branch of comics, but that certainly doesn’t have any special impact on how one likes comics in general. Personally I’m not a huge fan of manga, and superhero comics bore the tights off me, and I’m not as much a fan of underground comics as I used to be, but overall I’m a huge fan of the comics medium, and of course love me some BD, part of why I try to make a new post daily.
Manga is the Japanese word for comics. There are many different styles and inspirations by a myriad of artists.
It’s like saying all cartoons are the same as Disney, or all comics are basically Superman.
Yes, “manga” is the Japanese word for comics, but in terms of the overall, world genre of comics? It specifically refers to comics within a certain style, ~99% of it being Japanese-made.
It’s like saying all cartoons are the same as Disney, or all comics are basically Superman.
Yes, those are some nonsensical falsisms. Thanks for randomly stating them?
