Think of it like video games. Yes, there are some amazing classics which can still be enjoyed for everything they brought to the table, but no one can stand to look at a Gameboy Color screen all day when they have a PS3 hooked up to a widescreen LCD screen in their basement.

I still find Roguelikes, or oldskool RPG's to be more interesting than the majority of new-generation games. Damn, even Heroes of Might and magic, I'll prefer 1, 2,3 over 4, 5, 6. I'm not a graphic-whore.
Same with anime, I'll prefer oldskool art over newschool art in anime. Like Angel's Egg.. damn epic.

You're not much of a gamer if you think that graphics > gameplay, as long as it's not something like splashes that move without any type of animation then I don't see a problem.


You're also not much of a gamer if you think graphics are unimportant, hence why I said a balance is best. I prefer to play games that have the best of both, for example Little Big Planet.

There is no balance. You either go for one or the other. Little Big Planet actually lacks both. Graphics lack, gameplay brings nothing new, I'd better go play any Super Mario Bros, it will give me a better feeling and still does it better.

Just look at Xenoblades Chronicles on the Wii, the graphics lack, but hey, at least the gameplay is AWESOME, it's story is AWESOME and you can say it's on par with any Final Fantasy games.

HOMM! YES, good example. Take that too, would you play HOMM6 over HOMM3? HOMM3 graphically isn't that much of a deal. But the story and the gameplay is just awesome, classics of those type of games. Disciples is the same too, damn, those games we're awesome.

It's like hating on books. Those have no graphics either.

I think he means those Weaboos and Nerds who make the whole Anime community look retarded for outsiders. You know the ones I mean. When you think "Anime Nerd" they fit the stereotype perfectly. And more annoyingly, they try to push EVERYONE into watching their "amazing" Anime as well; which is such a turn off.

I know gaming is subjective too, but holy LOL. LBP is leagues ahead of the majority of Mario games, and I'm a big Mario fan. You either go for graphics or better game-play? I'm sorry you feel that way.

So, basically people who're passionate about their hobby. You can find "weeaboos" in all communities, I just don't quite see how they make the community look "retarded".

Why would you EVEN care for the "outsider" opinion on something you like?

I just find it pathetic to try to make a distance between yourself and one who's passionate about the hobby, just because you might be associated with him by the "outsiders". Like.. "Pfft no, he's no anime fan, he's a WEEABOO!". lol.

Also, being an anime fan doesn't necessarily make you open-minded, or anything close to it. Liking anime doesn't deem you immune to human weakness. It's that kind of delusional thinking that's made me so jaded towards the community over the last few years.


Heck yeah.

I find it funny how people on this thread say that others here are open-minded... OF COURSE others on this anime thread are open-minded regarding anime. That should be a given.


Likes:

-Most people are generally nice(that's true of almost any forum though.)


Dislikes.. get ready to debate or more likely, pick at parts of this like a smartass:

-Hypocrites(everybody is a hypocrite about something IMO, but when its about something obviously contradicting and persistent..)

-Fans who care too much about what other fans are doing(hear me out on this one.) When you really think about it, the "annoying fans that make a fool of themselves", don't stop you from enjoying anime in any way unless you're really insecure. Just like the "cosplayers". I assume 90% of us don't tell most people about our fandom anyway, so why does some random guy making a fool of himself in silly clothes at some random convention bother you?

-Quote whores/Trolls A.K.A. The people who make sure to make a post in the first page of a thread saying something just for the purpose of having others quote it agreeing with an agreement or outrage debate beneath it. My problem with this is that the post is usually some lame joke.

-People who quote others and only add something like "+1", "this", or "QFT"

-Anyone who calls another person a "nerd". More or less, you lost the right to do that as soon as you registered for this site. (sorry everyone.)

-ALMOST EVERY anime out there has a fanbase!!! I hate people who look down on others that have mainstream anime as their favorite(Death Note/One Piece/etc.) Just because your favorite anime is some random, back-of-the-shelf anime doesn't make you better than anyone else.

-Going along with that, people who think they're cool for disliking the most popular/newest anime, usually just for the sake of trolling. Like people who say that Madoka Magica, Death Note, or Clannad are literally the worst thing they've ever seen. People can have their opinion, but I bet most of the time, this is trollbait.

-In the forums, people who quote a wall of text, then respond with another wall of text, stretching the length of the thread's page. How about putting the quote in a spoiler for the people who want to skip past your tl;dr debate??

-Internet aloof guys. A.K.A. The the guy who says things like "You guys need to get a girlfriend", or "I don't care what anyone thinks about me". I lol when I read that. My personal opinion.

As passionate as weeaboos are, there is no denying how much they hurt the anime community's image. Just look at all the weeaboo horror stories online. Those stories should give you a better understanding of who they are and how they act like just in case you never met one before.

There's a lot of things that I like, but those are the usual things I expect from normal human beings, such as manners. Those should go without saying. Unless you really want me to list boring things like "-people are kind/-most people have good grammar".

Dislikes seem to stick out more. For example, in a forum full of kind people, usually the most memorable person there is the jerk/troll. Hope you understand.

They hurt the image quite a bit if you identify yourself as part of the anime fandom since people will relate you to them. Even if you don't care much about the fandom or about what weeaboos does with their time, they can still annoy you by how they act around you. And even if they don't annoy you, other people are annoyed by them. And that's why they tend to look down at anime fans in general.

What do I like? Well, despite all that, again there are some nice people who are at least open to the idea that animation is art, and the storytelling can be just as credible as any film or book. If I wasn't part of this community regardless, I wouldn't have met people who I considers friends, so deep down, I'm still grateful.

That's why I don't care for others opinion on things they don't understand or are simply closed minded. Like how people think of you if you say "I'm a gamer". Is it because of the "extreme" people? I don't think so.

Relating "regular" fans to fans which are obsessed with the hobby is stupid. Not like every football fan will join riot if his team loses, there's "extreme" examples in any hobby. And you don't judge the entire community by the minority, "extreme" people.

Anime community is looked down not just because of the "weeaboos", but because people don't understand a thing, "What? Are you watching cartoons? Grow up.". "What? Are you playing video games? Get a life."

Stop caring so much about others opinion when it's obviously coming from dumb people.

I guess I see what you mean there. I don't really care much for people's opinions when it comes to other fandoms. I guess I just have a soft spot for anime and manga. I had some bad experiences with weeaboos myself too, so I have more resentment against them than the average person. I tolerate them, but I really don't like them.

pros:
- they are generally nice people, i guess. they're pretty helpful too.
- they are a little less aggressive and obsessive than kpop fans?????
- you have someone to talk about practically any anime/manga published.

cons:
- there are a lot of immature people who can't accept other people's opinions about things. they also get riled up about such trivial matters to the point that insulting and degrading people becomes an option. like calm the fuck down.
- there are also a lot of hipsters who say shounen is better than shoujo or subs are better than dubs when other people don't really give a flying fuck.

The community as a whole is generally more tolerant and friendly than the majority of internet or real-life groups. The second part is largely conjecture just from the acquaintances I vaguely know, as I don't have any close friends with whom I share my anime interests with (I'm an H fanatic).

There's obviously a large part of the community that dislikes the hentai genre but I rarely see those people attacking fans of that genre - that's something rarely seen in the general population (hating the game and not the player, essentially).

What if they don't tell you she's 10 years old and you will never find out? What if we see it attractive but only on anime? What if we won't ever think of touching a little girl in real life? What if we actually have a half brain and distinguish reality from anime? What if that girl with flat chest and that looks like a scholar is actually a 30 years old? Why would you give a fuck about what somebody thinks anyways?

Man, if it's anime it won't hurt anybody, ACTUALLY, even if you fantasize about having sex with freakin' horses it won't hurt anybody AS LONG AS YOU DON'T DO IT.

Did you even try to check "good graphics" out? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kdVE4KvJTBA. Just so you know, you didn't see "good graphics". As you're talking about the PS3 and not about the PC. Crysis 2 lacked story, excelled in graphics, good to ok gameplay.

What are those "good games" you played anyways? Can you like, give names?

@Dedai, exactly, but hey, people want "balance". Just look at all these new "balanced" games, they simply suck.

To bring this full circle, you are what I dislike about the anime community.

I don't know about the exactly what the 'anime community' refers to, but since I have no friends in RL that watch anime, I'm going to base things off of this site:

Dislikes:
-lots of young people/ people who can't express themselves well
-too much small talk for the sake of small talk, although I don't want to make any assumptions as to what this is a result of
-anime hipsters
-all the negative things associated with any popular entertainment business

Likes:
-accepting and generally kind community, where anyone can feel welcome
-disproves stereotypes about who does and doesn't enjoy anime

I don't see "Immahnoob" in your dislikes tho. Awwwwww...

Man, don't just put me with the "Anime Community", what did they do bad? Poor them, come on. It's just me.

You were covered under the first, third, and fourth of my dislikes.

Young people that can't express themselves? What? How old are you? In your thirties or what? How am I not expressing myself well/clearly? Anime hipsters... I'm not an extremist like them, but yeah I don't like all the mainstream stuff. I don't see how I'm a negative of the popular entertainment business either, it's not like I'm burning down your house because you don't like Darksiders more than God of War (talking about our little discussion about games).

Actually, you're disliking yourself, check your second point, bro.

You should add some new points, because you clearly dislike me for some other reasons, I don't fit in your description at all :\.

Would be nice if we could stop with the needless argument. Go troll on each other's pages or something.

Anyway in response to other people's posts:

I dislike "weaboos" because they harm our image. Now I know some people are fine with that, but personally, I do care what people think of me. When I say to someone "I enjoy fishing" they normally respond with a, "oh, cool that's neat". When I mention I like Anime it's a massive downer on the conversation.... I instantly lose points with that person; so now I've taken to hiding that fact entirely. "Hiding my power level" basically. I'm under the opinion that if you enjoy something, enjoy it by yourself and with your friends; and don't push that on to other people. I don't know what kind of waeboos you guys have met, but the ones I know are blatantly extravagant and pushy.

Anyway to add more;

Likes
We can actually have (moderately) good debates; unlike some other fanbases (gaming, football) who just scream at each other like wild baboons

The boy; girl anime fan ratio is about equal. I like the variety. Once again, Gamer communities/k-pop fanbases are sausage-fests/mothers meetings.

Dislikes:

People who spout the whole; "We all have different opinions stop arguing about it already. God you're all so immature (I'm the smartest of the lot of you, hurr durr)... If we seriously all thought like that there would be no interaction between anyone over anything. You need conflict to keep things running, or things will just stagnate.

People who write in blue (or any other bright) colour on forums (you know who you are) and decorate their MAL page like some sort of Myspace Profile.

People who antagonise a thread simply for the sake of being the antagonist. People who reply with no "likes" and 50 "dislikes" to this thread. It would be nice if we could have some compliments (self-masturbation basically) and less whining.

Thanks, OP.

Bro, you just contradicted yourself. Your first dislike is exactly about arguing and stuff, and that it should be there, but you don't let us two argue. That guy will stop if he can't do it here. D: Don't kill me please.

Completely agree. I don't know what the point of a forum is, if not to have discussions over stuff where there will be differing opinions.

It's because you're arguing off-topic. I agree with the earlier post that the best conversations happen after a thread has strayed off track, but the Admins here have their rules and we need to stick by them.

Yeah I know, was just fooling around. I will stop harassing him sexu... Ahem "verbally".

Dislikes:
- Pretty generic dislike: People here seem to stop trying really fast, debates should go on for pages.
- It seems the "Anime Community" looks too much at the "cover" and doesn't look at the "contents", at least most of them, I see a lot of "ecchi/hentai haters".

This is interesting. I thought Hentai was mostly 'cover', meant for masturbation? Is this not true? Can it be deep? I can't tell because of lack of any experience with Hentai.
