Hang on this is a bit unfair. The only option close to what I'd pick is No I dislike anime. I don't watch it but it's not like I spend every night burning posters of Naruto, it's like you guys assume that people who don't watch anime are instantly Japanophobes or something.
That's kind of like asking if I read books, innit? I, too, fall into the nonexistent middle option, unless that's what you meant by "no opinion." I like good movies. Animated or live-action, Japanese, American, Russian, Nepalese, doesn't matter. Good movies is good movies.
More on topic, I don't like the cutesy-pie variety of anime. Moe turns me off. Give me Vampire Hunter D.

I use to watch alot as a kid. Now I watch little as I look at most of it in manga form. It's more quicker and filler free (at times).
I watch some, but not a lot, and I don't dislike anime, but it's not my favorite media, mainly do to the fandom acting like it's Superior to all other forms of anything ever.
I bet that if you where to offer either a loving girlfriend who just so happens to be a Playboy bunny of the year or a complete box-set of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" to a hundred anime convention goers, half would pick Evangelion.
For anyone who's curious and looking for something good to watch, I'd say the three best animes I've ever seen are Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Cowboy Bebop, and FLCL. If you like anime and you haven't seen one of these, you haven't seen the good stuff.
Penguin Girl (Or Penguin Musume Heart), you will "What?" several times through each episode, which is awesome.LawlessSquirrel said:
There is a lot of fanservice though, so if you hate that it's not an anime for you.
If you like utter randomness and "WTF?" situations, you'll probably like it.
Yes, I watch anime, I watch it every time I'm in the mood for it or when I'm bored, which will say most of the time.
Why is anime regarded as some kind of seperated genre? It refers to animation from Japan (and in Japan itself it refers to all animation, including Disney and such). While there are a lot of common conventions you can find in Japanese animation you can't really say you either like or dislike anime because there are some many different genres and series.
Not counting stuff I watched as a kid, like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh, I watched a number episodes of different series. But the only one I completely followed from start to finish was Death Note.

Same here, I don't get why they had to add that.Gladion said:
I have watched around a dozen anime series' in total, and I enjoyed them all, but considering that's over the space of around 3-4 years that's not exactly a lot.
So yes, I watch anime, but I am very picky with it.
