Poll: Problems With Anime?

[Daveman]

Filler, oh dear lord the filler.

 

[Rouse]

I'd go with 'The People Who are Obsessed with it Turn Me Off'
Actually anime stopped being interesting for me long time ago, since they're almost all the same, very few exceptions are enjoyable to watch, but I did spend my childhood and most of my teenage ages watching that stuff and talking to other people who were obsessed with it. But the more I got to know these 'fans' the more I got totally freaked out by them. It's beyond any kind of fandom I've seen and, no offence if there are some hardcore anime fans on here, but I find the majority of them simply retarded. It might be a side effect, it might be when they all stick together, I am not sure and I don't want to know.


recently I had a thought that anime is kinda like Supernatural - it has good ideas in it, very good even, some pretty original, but the way they do it... Is it for fanservice? Is it for girls obsessed with watching gay men sucking their dicks (which is my opinion is the worst of all)? Or the people who create these stuff go out of ideas, see how retarded SOME of the fans are and please their sick imagination with stupidity. I can't think of a lot of new animes who don't have some, even small hint of yaoi stuff, too much fanservice, total weird randomness that doesn't even make sense or just something we've seen so many times already...

The only problem I have with it is how in some shows they draw the fight scenes out for five episodes. Just two episodes will suffice.

It has got to be all of the above. Anime is just weird, and does not match up to modern animation, for me at least. Sure, some of them look like pieces of moving art, but they still have no humor, bad stories, and stupid characters. Never liked em, never will. Plus, the people who love them are way too obsessive.

 

[Erja_Perttu]

For me it's a mix of a lot of these things. Having finished reading/watching Ghost in the Shell, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Fullmetal Alchemist and that kind of thing, I have trouble finding things I can get into.

Most stories are repetitive cliché nonsense with horrible gender stereotypes and bad animation. Either that or it's entirely satisfied to simply pander to one audience.

Also, the stereotypical weeaboo fans bother me. Up to a point it's fun, but there's a line too many people cross (for my particular tastes at least).

 

[Kirch Libre]

I'd have to say I hate the homogenized bullshit that gets pumped out every season which has almost everything in that list. There's rarely any originality like with stuff back in the 80's and 90's. Also the obsessive fandom made me swear off conventions unless I'm selling artwork.

 

[dillirgaf]

All good animes end at less than 60 episodes. ANYTHING longer than that is terrible. Naruto and Bleach are the epitome of this.

 

[Seraj]

I've never really been into anime, I watched the odd few back in the day, before I even knew what they were called.

They seemed alright but reading through this thread I don't think I'll be watching them any time soon.

 

[BlackHazard]

For Me in series like Bleach and Naruto is they add too many fillers.

 

[silver wolf009]

Some of those but what has really put me off most anime I have seen is the fact that in my experience, they can never just pick a main villian and run with it. Take DBZ for instance, 1st it was Freeza, then Boo, then Cell and the androids, it just kept going on and on.

Another prime example is Naruto, They went from that water ninja who's name eludes me, to Garra, to that snake guy who was basiclly a ninja form of James Earl Jones from Connan the Barbarian.

I dont hate anime, I quite like some of it but a good percentage is crap* for various reasons.

Same as:

I dont hate movies, I quite like some of them but a good percentage arecrap* for various reasons.

I dont hate written fiction, I quite like some of it but a good percentage is crap* for various reasons.

I dont hate video games, I quite like some of them but a good percentage are crap* for various reasons.

I dont hate (insert genre) music, I quite like some of it but a good percentage is crap* for various reasons.

I dont hate food, I quite like some of it but a good percentage is crap* for various reasons.

I dont hate beer, I quite like some of it but a good percentage is crap* for various reasons.

I dont hate foreign countries, I quite like some of them but a good percentage are
crap for various reasons.




Are we spotting a pattern here people?

Sorry didnt want to ruin anyones unreasoning sterotyping and hating session, carry on, I'll be watching Legend of galactic heroes, suffering through the bad characters, bad animation*, bad music and poor, predictable story line.


*Its really dated, I'll give you that.

 

[zidine100]

fan service, need i say more.

lets just say if i wanted porn id watch porn, if i want to watch anime ill watch anime, dont confuse them damnit.

 

[DSK-]

I really dislike English dubs. Some are insanely good (Cowboy Bebop comes to mind straight away) but most are not.

A lot of it is said without feeling or the vocal inflections don't seem natural *me shrugs*.

I've never met any hardcore fans/weeaboo's so I must be lucky.

I also think that this counts as a good English dub

Oh, and as someone else mentioned, Filler episodes *shakes fist*

 

[The Ambrosian]

Anime, or real people acting?
Doesn't seem like a hard choice really.
Then there's voice acting and the rest of it.
I do like Cowboy Bebop though.

 

[Dannyrevv]

for me I'd hafta say how alot of them are just so blandly written, and then get over hyped

Ironic you say that because they are gonna make Supernatural an anime. Here is the trailer:

 

[DarkRyter]

Because when you like it, people who don't like it hate you for liking it.

 

[blind_dead_mcjones]

Because when you like it, people who don't like it hate you for liking it.

damn, ninja'd

pretty much this, i dislike getting pigeonholed as the 'obsessive weaboo animu fan' simply because i like to watch it in my spare time

which i must point out is rather hypocritical considering how i'm sure most of everyone on here don't like getting pigeonholed with the obsessive video gamer label and all that entails

for me I'd hafta say how alot of them are just so blandly written, and then get over hyped

you do realise that that particular phrase can be applied to about 90% of any form of media be it books, tv, videogames and movies, right?

 

[joshuaayt]

I pick other, and choose the horrendous subtitles they usually get, forcing me to choose between relying on equally-bad-but-at-least-makes-some-fucking-sense english voice acting, or getting a headache trying to figure out what the dude means when he launches into a monologue full of phrases left either partially untranslated or (worse) in traditional Japanese sentence structure, simply because, as a Western viewer, it is my duty to learn all of this.

Why do I have to understand honorifics before I begin watching the show? Am I being tested? It's a minor complaint, but representative of the whole, I guess. Whilst it was easy to pick up on, it still made the first episode of Death Note annoying.

 

[alik44]

Im like anime to but to be honest the people who are almost creepy into it they. like if u saw somthin aout they will be the first to cut you off and explain it to u. i dnt mind but it gets annoying.
