I find it weird, personally, and those who watch that kind of thing are usually the type of people I can't stand.
Yeah, I'm that kid who was a dick to 85% of you Escapists in high school. My bad.

The more anime I watch, the more I find I dislike the majority of it. If I say 'I like anime' oftentimes people misunderstand me and start blathering on about shows I absolutely abhor. Most of the stories I find good are still not as complex and well thought out as any good book, the voice acting is not always at its best, and the level of creativity is usually low.
Character wise. . .finding mature characters with a good degree of characterization is like finding a needle in a hay stack. It rarely happens, and when it does it was probably based off of a manga.
Most anime bores me after a few episodes (or partway through a movie) because I do not find the story interesting or engaging enough, and the characters are not relatable (or get mired in needlessly dramatic shenanigans that. . .ugh).
I like anime as much as I like any sort of video media, which is to say the vast majority can go hop in a toilet and get flushed. But, that's only my opinion and I can understand why others like it. For the most part, I'll prefer to go read a book. . .unless I'm in the mood to try to find another needle. You'd think by now I'd realize it's just not going to happen that often.

The Japanese Animation industry is much like the Hollywood movie industry. Mostly recycled crap, but with the occasional gem of artistic genius. To "not like" all anime on general principle is simply unwarranted prejudgment... which is common enough in the world that I wonder why it still bothers people.
To me, it's because their's no variation. All Anime is either Giant Robot Fights and Monster Fights and Magic and Demons and Sci-Fi action plots, or just watching characters live like you and me, and that's dumb.
And all Anime looks the same. It's all the same Body types: 1) Regular Male Body, 2) Regular Woman Body and 3) Monster/Special Body. And besides all that, they have the same art style with only minor tweaks and edits from one another. The only Anime that looked far different from most Anime's I have seen was Bobobo (One of the Few Anime's I've liked), and that still had an anime feel to it. Plus, most of the voices are just recycles from other series, with several voices not even fitting characters at all. And lastly, I've noticed a rising trend of Male Characters that like to wear lipstick and dress like women for some reason (Especially in the Yu-Gi-Oh Spin-Offs).

Either you're joking or you're trolling, I can't work out which.kaveradeo said:
Anyway, I dislike anime for quite a few reasons. Notably, I dislike the art style (with the exception of pokemon, as it's something that's stuck with me from being a kid. It's a funny old thing.), everything is far too over-the-top, every anime fan I've met IRL has been one of those different-for-the-sake-of-it twats etc...
No one in anime acts like a normal person. It's just annoying. And pretty often quite perverted.
too many of them are just the same thing and follow what I call the "Bleach syndrome": I WILL DEFEAT YOU *gets head handed to him* Gar I can't win *somehow finds some new power for 10000000 times* HAHAHAHA I HAVE DEFEATED YOU, repeat. There are some exceptions, I really like Kuroshitsuji and Death Note because they were interesting. The only "fight" anime I still is One Piece just because its so silly
