ChocolateRainbow said: Why? Because all of the moe garbage Japanese Producers keep milking to the otaku audience. A stupid moe anime with different girls representing every dam skittle color. Completly leave no focus for the what should be the main theme for the show (*cough* K-on *cough*) Make a show that lasts 24 episodes that lacks in quality from every angle to bring an unsatisfying result. With all of that above, the average american now adays are too busy watching shows such as "the walking dead","the king of thrones" ect. I'm gonna say, haters gonna hate. And it's 'Game of Thrones' for you. |

Ghostony said: To this day I still don't understand this whole "moe" thing is, wikipedia was not helpful since it gave various meanings Moe is an ill-defined otaku term that means, amongst other things, "cute", "huggable", or "endearing". While it's sometimes used to describe a series, it's more about a specific ideal or kind of character, similar to Kawaisa. When used as an interjection, figuratively, it's used to convey that "something blooms inside your heart". |

| I think you find the answer to this in the fandom. The extremes of a material will become the face of it, and that is what we see here. If there was ever going to be a way to better create a reputation, it would be through a more relaxing tone from many of the hardcore enthusiasts and an ability to spread out anime in general to the public. But it would have to be gradual. Force feeding does nobody any good. |
| I see no connection between "moe" and the mainstream opinion of anime. Could it be that people who don't like moe love to talk about the fact that they don't like moe and will spin any opportunity they can into a reason to opine why they don't like moe? I dunno. Cooooould be. |
I’m just excited to see my Lord and Savior, Baphomet, represented in such glorious Italian stone. I do hope his eyes gaze upon me and that my allegiance is recognized. |

| Hentai people think japanese pornify everything its kinda true with all the fanservice but there are good anime out there that doesnt have but theres alot that does have it. check it  |
TengokuNoKusari said: Moeshit, ridiculous fanservice, and generic battle shounens. Oh and the west with its 'animation is for kids' stigma. ^ this |
 |
| People think anime are aimed towards children.That is the main reason anime have such a reputation. Someone who don't watch anime and have prejudices on them won't say anything else than "Anime are for kids". |
| cuz people are ignorant. thats jst it |
 |
| Cause most people when hear about anime, they think of hentai or something simillar to Pocemon. |

OOoh that makes a lot more sense than what wiki told me lol, thank you and here I thought this guy was moe never have I been so partially wrong |

Kuraaiiya said: Stfu with "chinese little girl shows" already, you're not funny, nor smart. Really? I thought I sounded pretty legit. |
|
| Because it's mostly porn with midgets or kids shows like Naruto. |

ZetaZaku said: Because it's mostly porn with midgets or kids shows like Naruto. Uh huh. That's why all the hentai has big, busty chicks, right? That's also why Naruto is published in a magazine targeted at mid-teens to young adults age group, right? Most of the anime that are released are targeted at mid-teens to adults, not kids. |
|
| maybe because many viewers think that (anime),powers,magic..etc is real then act like anime character in reality( in daily life )....then the other people that didn't watch anime think they are insance or think like a kid ...this is just a " maybe " |

| jst show them berserk. get ppl to stfu and destroy all stereotypes |
| |
| Because people are stupid and ignorant. |
| The fanbase is loaded with creeps. |
| I once heard that the only way to utterly destroy something reputation is just to point out its fans... |
|
| Because AlphaFTW said: people are stupid and ignorant. and IceBurn said: The fanbase is loaded with creeps. |
| Because it's Japanese |
| Insert wise quote here |
| Because of shounen like Naruto One Piece and Dragonball. They're the cancer. |
 |
| Because of the social stigma that animation is only for kids. It's not limited to the West; most adults in Japan are under this impression as well. |
| becus naturo |

| Watching Cartoons is pointless becuase ive already watched the best ones I have when I was little, and the new ones are nothing but dirty adult cartoons. and people who watch it are strange and spend too much time talking about it on forums, and eventually get obssessed and have strange mini figures of there favorite characters in there rooms. |
 |
| Because they haven't watched Devilman. |
 |
| Fanservice, people think fanservice and ecchi are the same as 'cartoon porn' at least that's what I here at school(they don't know I like anime but other people do like it) also those damned weabos and perverted 'otakus' who don't know what story and character depth is. |

| Cultural trends seen in anime are foreign to everyone outside of Japan, so people think strange/different=gay. Also, obviously the typical stereotype is that all anime is nerd porn. Well, they're not exactly far off a lot of the time. How many anime can you name w/o a hint of ecchi, rape, or something along those lines? Also, believe it or not, beating off to a crappy drawing is generally looked down upon in most cultures....except maybe Japan lol. Also, compared to something like Disney, anime doesn't appeal to a large family audience and has far inferior art and animation. Fact. Also, Disney makes tons of films, while a massive amount of anime is in a series format; not exactly sure if that has something to do with it, just thought I'd throw it out there. I think why shows like Pokémon and shit were so popular is because they were appropriate for children, had a reasonable dub and didn't so obviously contain countless Japanese cultural influences. They made it fit for all nationalities to relate to. That and it was like crack for kids. I feel anime is less innovative a lot of the time. The repetitious themes and scenes you see in anime are unrivaled by all else. It gets fucking annoying. |

BTBAM said: Yeah. One would think that an animated TV series would be family-friendly or acceptable by the masses. I feel as though they're just wasting their time doing half-assed adaptations when they should be coming up with better (and possibly original) ideas. A lot of US animation is original, at least from what I've seen (obviously excluding stuff like the DC Universe).I feel anime is less innovative a lot of the time.

DestrNameless said: Only because of xenophobia. Yep it must be that... |
| I've always heard people say all anime and manga are too childish, others say it's too weird. I disagree with the people who said it's childish, but if they'd watched Boku no Pico as their first anime series, I would totally agree on the weird part of anime. |
