| I'd say you're just a fanboy who likes everything you watch. |
  |
| Idk fam. I felt that way when i got into anime heavily back in May and i still feel that way. Most shows old or new never really fail as much to impress me. I guess you can say i'm easily entertained and i'm not really as critical as other weebs i suppose. |

Daniel_Dreiberg said: Japan doesn't have sjws (30 charsss) This is a large factor. American writing is often ruined by focusing on being subversive at the expense of creating interesting stories and characters. Doesn't matter if it's cartoons, athletics, business, scholarship, etc. When political soap boxing becomes central, it has a high tendency to compromise the original mission. |

| You know what OP? Despite not feeling the same way as you (took multiple bad anime before I could find a good one to start my anime-watching hobby), I like the spirit and attitude you've got towards the medium. Good on you! For me personally, I think my main issue in american live-action shows mainly stem from the ever-present conflict having another layer of drama around its plot to complicate things. Thus, they create a interconnected web of plot so as to reassure the audience that the new layer of drama is necessary. This often creates a non-ending for a lot of shows, since some of the plot threads won't ever get proper closure. Anime on the other hand keeps the main conflict somewhat more separate from other drama happening so as to not create a tangled mess of "everything's connected!" if that makes sense. It may be just a me thing but that's one of the reasons I don't like live-action shows as much (though this doesn't apply to movies as often, so I like live-action films a lot more). |

| Agreed, i am from pakistan and after i started watching a few quality animes this was the same reaction i had. Japanese joke quality is a little bit better then the western jokes. ( coming from someone whose favorite show is friends ) |

| I'm not sure if the number of people who put an s on the end of anime is increasing or if I'm just more easily triggered by it but I swear I see it all the time now. Is it meming? Is it supposed to be funny? Or are people genuinely ignorant? |

2potatosoneguy said: It's just different, so you and I are both fortunate that we know of anime and know that it (or at least some of it) is something that appeals to our tastes.is it just that im easily entertained or is Japanese entertainment just alot better than American entertainment the only anime i thought was bad was squid girl, the rest are just masterpieces in my opinion even bleach which people dont really like i thought it was amazing.before i started workiing ive done a rough estement and ive watched about 7000 episodes of anime that was a couple of years ago though dont really have time to bIINGE watch anime since i work a lot I know that I like watching anime more than western stuff because anime has a good supply of fantasy and sci-fi stuff, and also a good lot of this has dramatic plots. Based on your tastes it seems that you're also into some of these more dramatic elements, albeit somewhat different from mine. (What did you think of Casshern Sins btw? It's on my PTW.) (Also funny though that the two things you mention are Squid Girl (which I've liked what I've seen of it) and Bleach (which I didn't like what I've seen of it), for which our opinions seem to be opposite lol.) That said it's not guaranteed that I'll automatically like Japanese entertainment though. Japanese entertainment that I'm not into is also pretty common; I'm not really into manga, or smutty VNs, visual kei, or pachinko, for example. And when I do like Japanese, the reasons can be rather specific. For example, I tend to prefer Japanese video games because they're (1) more often in genres I like (which isn't always the case either way), and (2) tend to have richer soundtracks. And I tend to prefer Japanese pop music over American pop music because I tend to prefer the chord progressions that are common in J-pop...except I've also found that I actually tend to prefer anison (i.e. anime songs) over more "mainstream" Japanese pop. (Some people like to make these broad statements like blaming "western influence" or whatever, but I think they miss the point by not realizing that the specifics don't fit their broad statements.) |

| Well, mostly of the american stuff is the same boring shit as always, a good looking bad ass genius millionare dude does some cool stuff and gets the chick... and then movie 2 happens, and he does the same and gets a new chick! But be carefull, there is plently of eastern bs too, you are just too new so you can't tell yet. |
 |
| OP, only 1 season, just 1 season watch all of airing anime and you automatically will understand not all or even many anime are good |
| I don't want to be rude, but. How many years have you been watching anime and exactly how many have you watched to come to this conclusion? Your question is purely your opinion, of course. But it smacks of a lack of life experience in this area. Believe me, after watching more than 500 titles, you will understand how wrong this belief is. Bad anime exactly so much same, as and good. |
| May be some anime? |
| You probably avoid the trash ones. . |
 |
| I think you avoided the garbages or you're a true weeb. |

Daniel_Dreiberg said: Japan doesn't have sjws (30 charsss) Ooh boy, you have absolutely no idea. |
| Don't ever let people tell you what's bad and what isn't. I also like or at least appreciate most of the stuff I watch. The best way is to just listen to your heart and appreciate things subjectively, rather than follow the opinions of the majority or try and play critic. It'll make your time in this medium way more fun and meaningful, imo Do I think there's objectively bad stuff out there? Yes, just look at the modern seasonal charts. But I also think that, with all the trashy people whose only objective is to hate things subjectively and sell their opinions as objective criticism, the line gets blurred and the definite best way is to just have your own opinions about everything and not listen to anyone about what you should or shouldn't consume and/or like. No community scores, no reviews. I would've gotten burned out of this medium many times by now if I'd followed other people, that's for sure. |

| Because you have very low standards. |
 |
| A few ideas come to my mind... Storytelling: anime has a wider audience in Japan, it's not intended only to children and young teens; also, there's a lot of collaboration between brands but also physical store, café, etc.; since anime have been adaptating some light novels (actual books even if intended to teen/young adult audience) the stories have been getting better Art: manga culture is strong; here in France, according to our journalists, we are the 2nd country to buy manga, and we also have a solid culture branch on comics; most anime are original derived from popular manga anyway Music: depends on the anime, like in the US, you have better and less better bgm/sfx for a show depending on the budget Culture: japanese people use chinese characters aka kanjis, their language and their way of speaking is much more visual than any other culture in the world Money: people are ready to pay for anime, manga and merchandise in Japan; most other countries lack sufficient funds to produce quality in a broad scale, which is also why there are so many studios, even small ones over there; somehow it is also linked to cultural influence Competitiveness: might as well be true to any country or any profession, but japanese animators are very lowly paid so they do put heart in their creation (which is weird since merchandise is actually bought) I know this is very vague and kind of flying over a lot of things but any of these topics could make a whole article by someone who knows better than me |
  |
| There are a lot of subpar ones out there lol |
 |
| I agree. Some people have said I'm "easily pleased", but if that means that I find a lot of things to appreciate (especially the small nuances), then I don't care enough to stop finding so many anime good. Truth is, I'm easy to bore. Despite that, even if I don't enjoy one anime over another, there's always something I like about it. |
