Do You Hate Anime?

As the title question states, if you do, I think I would understand your reasons as to why. To be honest, I hate a lot of anime myself—in fact I'd say probably 90% of it. The reasons why? Probably the same as some of yours; I hate most animes because of  unnecessary things like the "accidental" I walked in on you while you were getting dressed or taking a shower scenes (is there not a lock?), or the "whoops! the perverted wind is blowing, and now everyone can see under my mini skirt" (hello?! Wear a longer skirt or shorts underneath or both) but I'll pretend to be embarrassed when really, that's what the character wants, is to get that kind of attention from boys because most anime girls are severely messed up. Another reason, would be how stupid, clumsy, weak, and blindly obedient they make most female characters. Not to mention their beyond fake, cute voices—I mean, no one sounds like that! And one of the things I hate the most, is when a bunch of girls compete for a guy for no apparent reason. Like, there's just nothing awesome about this guy—why are you people fighting over him?! Oh! And how they always sit so neatly and proper—they look so uptight and rigid. People just don't sit like that in real life. So I just listed a bunch of sexist reasons why I hate anime, but wait, there's more!

Most animes have very bad graphics. Sometimes it's so bad it hardly looks like they're moving when you know that the character is "moving". It looks more like a cheap picture by picture sort of thing. When they're standing or sitting and talking to someone at the same time, nothing will move except their mouth that drops up and down like a puppet and the occasional blink. In these crappy shows, the characters don't really seem alive However, that is not the case for all Japanese cartoons. Shows like Dragon Ball, Avatar: The Last Air Bender, Attack on Titan, One Piece, Psycho Pass, Black Butler and some movies like: 5 Centimeters Per Second and The Garden of Words, all have very good graphics. Speaking of graphics, most people don't like the gigantic eyes because "it makes them look like babies when they're really adults", and the impossible haircuts and hair colour bothers some people as well. (Note that the Japanese got the "big eyes" idea from Disney characters, which are American).

Regardless of all the reasons why Anime sucks, let me guide you to some of the best, most entertaining, funny, fantastic, adventurous, romantic, and most family appropriate ones there are out there. Through one post at a time, I hope to convince you, and direct you to some of the best animes with amazing story lines, ideas, concepts, and characters that you'll love. I plan to make a post for one specific show or movie at a time to give you all reasons why you should watch it, why you might not like it, and warn you of any unnecessary scenes or foul language so you can skip it those parts. Also, if I find the time, I'll take a specific episode of a series and tailor it to our liking so we can still enjoy a good show without any the yuckyness. But hopefully that won't be necessary. I'm looking forward to your comments and reviews! Please let me know what you think, and have a great day! :)
