I don’t care for any of it. I don’t like comic books and I don’t like Star Wars either.
He’s a witch!
Burn him!
We are the same person. I also don’t like Star Trek or any of the other star* shows.
Even Stargate?
Yes, even galactica.
Almost. I like Star Trek because of the women.
Yeah, like that time Quark was one 🥵
Hell yeah. I’ve finally found another who will say it out loud.
Every time I get downvoted for pointing out the rampant and casual pedophilia plaguing anime, I hate weebs a little bit more.
This. I don’t partake in anything anime related and I’m mostly neutral on it as a whole, but the prevalence of pedophilia and related themes is highly disturbing as is the lack of pushback against it from the community.
And, that being said, the people who make anime their entire personality are also… difficult to be around.
No joke. They’re the kind of people that have to over-dramatize every damn thing and have explosive reactions to anything.
Like calm the fuck down, you’re not in an anime show.
That’s why I don’t like most anime. There are some gems that don’t stoop that low, but the bar is ridiculously low for such a high rate of not meeting it
I don’t blame you, fellow Lemming.
Wtf is this question?
OP has been in a lengthy struggle with the world over media. They swore off manga previously due to “christian morals” and the fact that Zombieland Saga contained zombies, then got back into it because of Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, and now it seems they’ve hit another block within the last month.
And it’s not just manga. They’ve also had an issue with Wikipedia.
Engagement bait
Well I for one don’t want to marry OP
Shouldn’t “does anybody else” questions be banned from this sub? Lol
Gives me “am I a special snowflake?” vibes
This feels like a post ripped straight from the new AI Reddit. Every other post on there is some dumb ass generic question, really irking me to see that starting to overflow here now
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.
The over exaggerated faces, the # forehead, going chibi, dramatically dropping animation quality.
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.
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.
deleted by creator
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
So we don’t understand then?
Yesterday I drove by Düsseldorf, which is Germany’s most Weeaboo city, and they had this ugly fucking mural at their train station.
I don’t mind most anime/manga based media, but media about anime/manga makes me really uncomfortable. Defining yourself by the fact you like Anime is just a lot weirder than defining yourself by the fact you like JJBA or InitalD.
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?
Me.
I’ve tried. I won’t say it doesn’t deserve to be liked, but it does absolutely nothing for me.
I find that there is far too much of it in my Lemmy feed. I have a very long list of blocked communities which I have blocked, tediously, one at a time as they appeared. Obviously a lot of people like it, but it’s not for me.
I wish there was a setting similar to the one that blocks NSFW content, but for anime and manga.
Yes I despise it, I hate the influence it’s had on making everything over sexualized and cliched
Used to love anime but now that I’m older I dislike it. Still love reading manga, just hate the high pitch annoying ass voice for every female character. A few anime’s don’t do it and those ones I still love
I’m an artist and I used to draw a lot as a kid. I naturally adore the medium, but most anime is weeb/otaku fanfare and I find obnoxious. I keep a look out for the gems that occasionally come around.
One of the gems I’ve found is to your eternity. Still has some annoying ass anime voices but it’s a really unique story and almost every episode will make me cry no matter how many times I watch it.
I’d say I’m just uninterested, not dislike. The part I hate is when I see people dedicate their whole life into them and fail to function as a normal human.
Vtubers on the other hand, I absolutely despise. They are basically YouTubers/streamers with an anime character and get much more views for no reason. I guess that’s free market for ya
Same.
I don’t hate it, I’m simply indifferent to it.
IMO it’s simply a medium to convey ideas. There’s bound to be anime or manga worthy of distain. But you can say the same of film or books. Perhaps one might dislike the general trend of those industries too but I don’t think that makes it fair to judge future works based on the prior disliked works.
TLDR: Judge works, not mediums.
Yeah, I don’t get it. So I guess I don’t really like it, but am I missing something?
Not really. I find horror movies boring because the characters always do dumb shit to get in trouble.
If you don’t like something, you don’t miss anything.
The only animes I watched till the end are Full Metal Alchemist and Shaman King, because they have a good length.
I liked JoJo Bizzare Adventures at first, but it got long and boring after a season and a half.
I tried to watch a lot of popular anime, but I can’t stand fillers, which 99% of anime have.
I dislike how common certain tropes are, how overacted it is, and how formulaic most of the stories are. I also hate Shounen and its focus on which guy is strongest. It’s boring to me.
No disrespect to Toriyama-san, but this was Dragonball Z to a tee.
“THIS ENEMY IS THE STRONGEST EVER! GOKU ACHIEVES HIS STRONGEST FORM!”
“NO! WAIT! THIS ENEMY OUT OF NO WHERE IS SUDDENLY THE STRONGEST AND GOKU’S FORM IS 1,000X STRONGER!”
Shounen anime is just junkfood anime, like Bleach. It’s got lots of filler, the main guy gets a hundred forms, all stronger than the last, they’ll pull some bullshit out of their ass to win the day and give people lots of ‘GOTCHA’ moments. And a lot of the characters are rule-34 prone.
