+1 yI love it but there has to be a balance lol
Some anime people live in their own bubble of anime fandom, to the point of headbands, fox tails, daily cos play, and quoting a line or pretending to be an anime character every other sentence.
It is a fun world but not for everyone. I am the only family member into anime and some are too cheesy or strange.
But its like anything one may love a lot. I think he should stop proposing it on you and kid like that.
People who dont like anime are just as awesome as those who love it.
He should embrace your likes and dislikes as well.24 Reply- +1 y

@update
Yeah sometimes anime finatics get so absorbed they forget reality. Lol ninja assassin? He is going to need to be re-birthed into an assassin clan, abused, starved and trained to hunt humans like antelopes to achieve that xD
I have gone as far as cosplay for the creativity, but I have known anime people who have literally become their own anime characters. Its slightly disturbing lol - +1 y
Yes thats why anime is a turnoff to me. he's lost himself

Awe poor guy. Anime / vid game world targets the imaginitive parts of our mind while stimulating various senses... like an intense vivid dream.
Some people like the dream better than reality. He probably finds life mundane and boring, chasing after the fantasu

I never quizte understood the appeal of anime. But more importantly, I never understood the obsession a lot of people have with it. Some people seem like they can't tell it from reality anymore. lol

@MrNameless soap operas like days of our lives and passions and one tree hill are way more interesting
+1 yI HATE it! I have friends who watch it and they akways talk about it and play J Pop music. And he's now learning Japanese. What annoys me most is they think they're experts on Japanese culture.
Also, honest observation. Most adults who are into Animae suffer from Aspergers or other developmental disorders. Like they have the minds of children.24 Reply- +1 y

+1 yIt’s not my cup of tea. I think the main reason why I don’t watch it is because of the stigma attached to it. Personally I think anime unintentionally gives the wrong impression of Japanese culture. Not saying there is anything wrong with anime or those who watch it.
11 Reply- +1 y
Hmm i never thought of it that way. but yea i dont watch it
+1 yI used to watch anime quite a lot 3-4 years ago, and I did notice the perspective others had on it so I just kept it lowkey with the people that also watched anime. I found it pretty easy to just get deep into an anime since usually, the writers tend to add a lot of background to the characters and the whole situation as a whole, so it's kinda therapeutic and entertaining. Tho again, I keep it lowkey.

I like your explanation though :)
+1 yI try it every now and again but it's soo shit! The stories are so boring and lame and always about teenage type love... BARF!!
Don't get me wrong, love animation. Love Akira which is a manga from 1988 ... I think it's spoiled me with regards to anime/manga because it literally blows everything else out of the water. The rest is juvenile, badly written crap... and it all uses the same colour pallet, which is fine if you're a five year old girl into ballerinas...11 Reply- +1 y

+1 yI like anime a lot~ though a lot of the English dubs are terrible, I much prefer Japanese with subtitles and there's no censorship either.
I love Shokugeki no Soma, love hina, onegai teacher and Yu-gi-oh and there are loads more too! My boyfriend is into anime as well which is nice so we can bond over it together. I am picky when it comes to the type though.11 Reply- +1 y
Yea mine hates that im not into it
+1 yActually dear Dizzy, I used to watch anime years ago, like Saint Seya, Captain Tsubasa, Initial Drive, etc...
Somewhere down the road of growing up I have stopped.
Maybe few silly funny cartoons from time to time, but that's it.
Lately, nickelodeon have been showing "The Loud Family". It is a cartoon with really short episodes, but it cracks me laughing out loud every time.
It talks about a family, where the boy has 10 sisters. Imagine the mess and funny moments :-D12 Reply- +1 y
What do your current/past girlfriends think about you being into it?
- +1 y
Well she thought the same. It is nice from time to time, it is funny (regarding the loud family because I have stopped a long time ago watching the other ones)
"the Loud Family" is a good cartoon for laughing, kind of tom & jerry :-P
I would recommend it to you dear Desi.
Check out first few episodes, they are like 15 minutes long
Again, there is a difference between watching from time to time, and being obsessed !!! :-S
+1 yI adore anime and know like 20 other amazing people who love it too. My college even has a club dedicated to anime fans.
It’s fine to dislike anime since everyone has different tastes, but trying to change your boyfriends hobby isn’t okay. Instead, you should be happy for him that he has such a strong passion for it even if you don’t feel the same. Now, it’s not necessary for you to join him in watching anime, but at least respect his hobby and let him do his own thing.
A relationship between two people of different hobbies can work out as long you’re willing to compromise and work things out.02 Reply- +1 y
I didn't change his hobby. I said i didn't want him encouraging our kids to watch it like he said he wants to do
- +1 y
Find a middle ground with him. Let the kids be exposed to it from time to time. That way you don’t have the kids being hardcore fans and you can still make him happy.
I dont get why anime is such a turn off its literally just japansnes cartoons and unlike most ameica cartoons the shows come with life lessons and really end up teaching you something. Now dont get obssessed with anything watch in moderation but id love to let my son or daughter grow up and watch some anime instead of the booty shaking and drama of tv

My older brother for example love dragon ball z one of the most iconic anime in the world he's who got me into anime but he's in his early 30s and still watches dragon ball but he is also a professional body builder has a beautiful girlfriend so as long as your a normal being if society i dont see the problem with it i feel like most people dont like anime cause it has that same stereotype around it that video games have that if you watch it your a fat slob who lives in his moms basment or a weirdo when it's just not true

I didn't compare u to my mom. And i didn't bash anime. I tried it before. Just dont care for it and it turns me off when a guy im into is super into it. End of story

You did bash anime a couple times i saw in the commets and you said i sounded like your mom which is a comparison and i dont get why being super into anime is a turn off its something a lot of guys like and girls and I don't get the big turn off about it by whatever that is your opinion

But there are so many different genres that practically anyone can get into it, you just have to find what you want.
like anything else just watch what you consider to be a educational and would be intriguing to your child if you're really concerned of its content.10 Reply
+1 yAnime is a broad collecting of Japanese animation. I typically only like ones that really make you think with clever plots. I don't enjoy the spastic battle related ones or childish or super dirty ones. Some are really really deep. For example my pic is from Log Horizon.

Im hoping it doesn't last long cause he real talk thinks he's gonna become a ninja assassin now. It feels like im talking to a kid

I think so too. My late 20s friend like it, along with My Little Pony. He even likes Anime porn and says he only gets turned on by Anime girls. I agree, it's really weird.
But I've noticed East Asians in general are into Childish things. I think it's becsuse they don't really have a childhood since they're so disciplined. My friends white though. Lol - +1 y

@chrisv Indeed. I must admit I'm confused by those who simply don't like anime because it's anime. I've never heard a valid explanation for why someone disliked it. It's always just been "because it's a cartoon." Does that mean they don't enjoy things that are animated? Does that mean they don't enjoy the style of animation? Does that mean they simply think anime is done poorly? It bothers me when people say they dislike something but can't seem to voice a reason behind why they dislike it.

What do your current/past girlfriends think about you being into it?
- +1 y
They were down, I usually ended up getting them interested in the shows I watched. There was one specifically which I consider to be one of the best romance stories put to film pretty much ever called Snow White with the Red Hair. At any rate, watching anime together was just a way we learned about each other's interests. I don't think I would give up that part of me for a girl, I'd want a girl who would embrace that part of me.
- +1 y
@chrisv Then allow me to recommend what I consider to be a perfect example of a show that defies every single one of those statements. Snow White with the Red Hair, also known as "Akagami no Shirayuki-hime."
The characters are well developed and the story, while not the deepest, is one of the best-portrayed fairy tales I've ever seen. The main character doesn't fit into any of the princess tropes and is a strong, well-represented female protagonist. The animation quality is excellent, though if you simply don't like anime I'm sure you'll disagree.
Likewise I'd recommend One Punch Man. While potentially a cliche recommendation it explores fascinating concepts, has interesting characters, and a stylized yet fantastic art style.
You sound like the kind of person who would hate Cowboy Bebop strictly for the old animation, but then that's besides the point. - +1 y
I expressed my view. I even gave you my reasons. Attacking me personally because I don’t agree with you simply reinforces my opinion of the kind of folk who watch that trash.
For the record. Any recent Disney animation completely SHITS ALL OVER that wanna be , second rate Japanese garbage..
So now you have it. My view. Enjoy. - +1 y

Funny thing is that some my friends obsessions with one particular show ( Yuri on Ice) had turned me off so much I don't bother so much anymore. Not unless the storyline and animation style genuinely grabs my attention.

All to do with taste, and to be honest, all that a lot of anime is just TV shows that are animated rather than filmed, it makes it easier/cheaper to do things.00 ReplyAnime is a great medium for telling stories that otherwise couldnt be told. Some are legendary and others are ridiculous. I used to really like it but in recent years, I haven't been able to sit through them. I dont get why. Liking anime is just like liking hollywood movies. If you try to find the good in it you'll be able to appreciate it. Unless its a shitty anime.
