What's your least favourite thing about anime?

Tentacles

 

Wow

 

What?

 

Why the hate for tentacles?

 

Haha seriously? Come come now it should be obvious.

 

how did i miss this?
why do you hate this?

 

They're to violent and gross for me. But it's not like a hate them with a passion they're just not what I'm into.

 

Okay... So Angelo does not like grotesque things I see.

 

exactly this. I especially can't stand the main character not making up his mind in harems and they then end with a non ending... no decision made... I'm like, great....... What the hell did I just watch this for?

I have noticed this seems to be a trend in anime adeptations of visual novels. almost as if they don't want to upset the fans for not picking the one they like... Like, I don't care if they don't pick the one I like. I picked tomoyo in clannad but in the anime they go with nagisa and I'm perfectly ok with that. it's one of my all time favoite anime because they picked a path and stuck with it. (Yes I know they have OVAs) but the main anime stuck with one heroine. ((holy crap I typed more than I thought))

 

I've felt this way, specifically for Rosario + Vampire. Spice and Wolf, too.

Seems a lot of people dislike harem. I used to like them, but it was only after watching Spice and Wolf that I realized I watched them for the romance. Harems in general take a few steps in romance for everyone, without actually getting anywhere, due to inconclusive endings or a self insert protagonist that is clueless just to fill the role of being an insert.
Harems like the one in R+V are different though, since the protagonist actually has been given a romantic goal (at least, in the anime). Also the same for Date a Live.

Equality in romance just does not belong . Those harem endings (as rare as they are) depress me.

 

The glorification/normalization of pedophilia and incest tbh. As a teenager when I first got into anime this wasn't really a big deal to me, but the older I get, the creepier it gets to look for anime to watch and have like 75% of it feature this. Especially the pedophilia. It's really gross to see that glorified not only in anime but in the anime community as well. Even when younger characters aren't sexualized in the anime itself, they are in like half of the fanart and other fan media :/

 

What's my least favorite thing in anime?

The fans and fanbases in general.

 

Also, I despise "anime elitists"

The fact that they accuse you of having "shit taste" is pretty funny considering their "tastes" are no better than yours.

Listen up: You don't have a degree or a certificate in whats best and worst, nor do you have the right to accuse someone of their "shit tastes" so stop acting like a retard.

Besides, the majority of anime shows are aimed at children in japan, hence the term shonen and shojo. So if you elitists are gonna get shitty over a japanese childrens cartoon, you seriously need help.

 

Cliff-Hangers, it gets irritating when a series ends on an unfinished ending.
The worst part is that they get no conclusion, like no OVA or another season just to finish the story.
A majority of anime does this and it sucks.
Also I suppose I hate the "Want to find out what happens?" read the manga/novel. Then again I can't blame them for advertising their product to increase sales.

 

Overuse of fan service and the ilk. Such as in "Gundam Seed" when the ship shutters in battle, and the captains breast jiggle. seriously is this the time and place.

Stereotypes! This includes completely wrong depiction of nuns and clergy in some Christian action anime, but also what seems to second generation stereotypes i.e. stereotypes based on stereotypes in American media as well as depictions of Japanese life which may become stereotypes Westerners will have of Japanese

 

I have to somewhat agree to this.

When I was younger, these types of things didn't phase me in the slightest. Maybe because I also was young, and saw it from a different perspective. But now that I'm almost in my late 20's, I find that I have become almost desensitized to these types of issues or topics, and that really disturbs me. Lol

I hadn't watched any anime in a while.. work, life, you know. I decided to watch Kill la Kill. I adore the art, I adore so many things about it, even though it has a lot of those controversial topics. But one scene in particular, (and I'm sure most people who have seen it are aware of which episode and scene I'm referring to) I was watching and I was like "what the hell?"

Of course, many of these things are derived from popular fetishes and things of the like. I begin to wonder, am I a creep? XD

 

We're all creeps in our own rights.

I suppose this is factual.
