1, 2, and 3 all fall under "I don't like the animation" or "The plots are lame."
Again, all of them are your opinion. Nothing objective about them at all.

Why can't the lovers of anime just accept that some people just don't like it, perhaps it is because they don't like the style of animation, perhaps they don't like the plots both are valid reasons for not liking it, just as fans liking it because they like the animation and plots is a valid reason for them liking it. Personally I've seen so little I won't judge it one way or the other.

Anime is Japanese animation, plenty of people appear to like it, not just Nurdbot.

Don't worry, I'm not going to have any more wars with Nurdbot, the bottom line is that our personal tastes and opinions clash on the subject of anime. Just like everyone has unique tastes in music and food, everyones DNA is different so no two people are going to agree 100%.
Exceptance and respect are what we need to give using our personalitys, the part of us that we choose to use as we wish within it's bounderys. Also defence is good but not offence or agrovation.
I'm not a huge fan of anime and I hate any anime that ends in "mon" but I might try watching some to try to understand it and know more about it. So Nurdbot, if you are reading this then what anime movies would you say are the best? I thought about maybe trying "Akira" as it sounds good and has plenty of violence and a Sci-Fi setting, well thats what I've read anyway.

I am tempted to side with the "Venus Camp" (thanks for that term Fishy), but for the fact that I haven't seen Akira yet, and Monokoko-whatever, which I have been advised will either make me love or hate Anime for all eternity. So once I see them, I should be able to make up my own mind. Nix, go easy on Nurdbot, he has had the decency to avoid using this thread as a personal "I love Anime" miniboard. It's nice to see a spirited free and open exchange of ideas on PEEL other than the Leela/Amy dispute, which Amy wins hands down. All the "mon" cartoons must be ended immediately!I saw a lot of crappy anime a while ago, which has left me feeling fairly ambivalent about the genre, but it has had one definately positive influence on the rest of the world: It keeps a potentially dangerous 14-year-old sex maniac occupied so that we are not all murdered and raped whilst we sleep. I will not name this person, as if Nurddbot finds out that I am talking about him like this, I will be for the "Hihgj Ump" Oh, I really should stop doing things like that...

It still surprises me how narrow minded some people can be. Look not all anime involes eye popping and tears like waterfalls (not that these things are bad I just suppose you have to have the right sort of mind to like it). One of my favriote animes and movies of all time if Wings Of Honnamise. The backgrounds are amazing and the story involving. The characters are human not some American ideal. Okey let's just say anime is a matter of taste, we could argue until we are blue in the face. It is like someone trying to convince me that Britney Spears is talented it is never going to happen.

It is usually sacrificed in order to add detail to the drawings. But I'm sure that Futurama has plenty of detail in it's drawings, and it still manages to maintain superb animation aswell.

We could go on all day like this. Crap stupid computer. Look I'll explain for the last time it is just an analogy. I personnally think that my crap has more talent than her but if you want another analogy. Anime is like heavy metal and no matter how hard I argue that it is great some people will just not listen.

I personally don't much care for heavy metal either. Look, you just can't argue an opinion. So I would say stop trying.

I awy we compromise with VIOLENCE HAHAHAHA. Maybe some kind of fight to the death where people vote on different cartoon characters from different shows and types of animation... Anyways the reason most people hate Anime is because when you think of anime, you think of those stupid cheap cartoons they show on tv.

How is pointing out flaws in your argument trying to bait you into doing anything? it is better to have an open mind and accept things for what they are, and that is a form of entertainment.
And if it doesn't entertain you, what's the point of watching? And by your logic, shouldn't you accept Hanna-Barbera, Britney Spears etc., and say, I dunno, Clifford the Big Red Dog as forms of entertainment?

Even though most anime published here in the US are lousy rip-off styles of better Japanese animators & designers, I gotta give them credit for doing a lot of hard work. Most of the 'good' anime never makes it on TV. But they can be found in Japanese & Korean video stores. The reason they can't be shown on TV is because of sex & violence. Yes, sax & violins. There's a lot of junk out there as well. It's sort of like hunting for good classical music albums, in a way. You don't know who's who. It's basically hit & miss.
