| Hey everyone, I tried to get my friends to watch anime but they dont want to, and they never seen any anime ever. And alot of people think that anime has a bad story, is too childish,and the most comon thing ever they yell too much people say ... Why do you think people hate anime so much without even seeing anything related to anime? Sorry if my english is bad, its because english isnt my first language. |

| the only anime they know are Pokemon (children's anime) and DBZ (full of yelling) so yeah.. there's that. |
 |
| Because different strokes for different folks, not everyone can like the same thing. |
 |
| It's because anime is a niche medium that not everyone will like. There's also people that dislike stuff when other's like it(especially in the community). Anime also tends to have a negative stigma due to people's parents/elders raising them up to be adults directing them think of cartoons/anime as "childish" and should not be enjoyed as/when they grow up. |
 "... Because when you live in this world of my closed eyes... ... Being alone is very lonely...". |
| Because it's bad. Nothing wrong here. |
 |
| They probably haven't watched JoJo yet. |
| Because Hayao Mizayaki influences. Fuck his attitude. |
 |
| People are prejudiced thats how it was, it is and and it will always be. |

Darek said: Y i am just thinking because if they like cartoons why not watch japanese cartoons or just give it a go because alot of people never saw them and still say its bad I don't know. The proper qeustion would be why should anyone care? Why does the mindset that people hating anime is something worth giving a damn about even exists? We like Japanese cartoons, they do not like Japanese cartoons. Why should anyone care really? |

| Because its just Japanese cartoons to them and that doesnt interest them. Maybe they will like it if they give it a try, but getting them to try is the hard part. |

He was once a hero of anime industry for making many Ghibli shows which one of them wins Oscar. But he rants a lot about anime industry too, such as on Tezuka Osamu, etc. Now that he's "retired" (although he have state this millions of times only for coming back on the industry later due to his displease), all that remains is his bad attitude of hating modern anime and that people make a meme of "Anime was a mistake - Hayao Miyazaki" and "insult to life itself" due to this badtitude of him. |
|
| Is not watching same as hating? You can't watch everything someone recommends to you... Especially if there is no initial attraction. |
 |
| Because they're not mature enough to like anime yet. Leave the kids alone... |
| I believe it's because of the overall bad reputation that anime has. Many people just refuse to watch any anime because they don't want to have anything in common with this community or don't want other people to think that they are weirdos. I have a friend who really likes sci-fi shows especially with dystopian settings. So I briefly described Psycho-Pass plot to her and she was really interested and willing to watch it.. until I told her that it's actually an anime. She wasn't interested anymore. |
 |
| I don't know dude, have you tried asking this to people who actually hate anime? You'll get way better insight from them than from us trying to guess how they feel. |

And so on, but because of them not liking anime doesnt mean i dont like it but yeah i get your point of view thank you for posting ^^.is someone told you to jump from a window and they told you you will be safe will you say yes |

| because its cool to hate on anime.... |
| It's probably because some anime fans make anime weird for them, so they think its all weird even though they haven't even tried watching it themselves. |
Askorti said: Off the topic i actually showed steins;gate to my mother she could only watch 10 minutes xD but thats normal she is an adult and stuff but y wit my friends i never really made them watch anithing just asked if they wanted to watch something(anime) with meMost people are not very open to new experiences. And the cultural differences between the west and the east make sure that those without willingness to accept differences won't like it. We, westerners who grew up with anime and didn't stop watching it were progressively eased into this industry. But think of a person who didn't have this. They, as adults, see this really strange and bizarre form of entertainment. They simply don't get it. And since we fear what we don't know, they're not willing to even try. Also, you may be showing them the wrong shows... |

And alot of people think that anime has a bad story, is too childish Story of my life. Especially the ' I tried to get my friends to watch anime but they dont want to, and they never seen any anime ever.' They'll never understand the glory of anime. |
 |
| Because anime is different, it is unique, it is new. People hate things which are different, unique and new. It always happens. Look what happened to the Native Americans who were the original 'Americans'. They got wiped out for being different than the rest of the people. On a serious note, maybe it's best that a lot of people don't watch anime. Let's keep it niche and non-mainstream. |

StreamerPT said: Hey everyone, I tried to get my friends to watch anime but they dont want to, and they never seen any anime ever. And alot of people think that anime has a bad story, is too childish,and the most comon thing ever they yell too much people say ... Why do you think people hate anime so much without even seeing anything related to anime? Mostly, it's general prejudice against cartoons. Most other countries make cartoons mostly for children, and a lot of people expect anime to be like that too. Most anime outsiders see are exactly like that - anime like Pokemon or Naruto aimed at young children. These anime aren't all bad, but they're childish. Because they are meant to be so. And that is the exact reason they are shown on TV - because people in charge of TV want cartoons for children, not anything for older audiences. For many people, especially teenagers or young adults, actually watching an anime that is meant for them will turn it all on its head. Because there is too little media made in the West for this kind of audience. StreamerPT said: You said: Sorry if im being uncult but who is Hayao Mizayaki?Because Hayao Mizayaki influences. Fuck his attitude. Hayao Miyazaki is a famous anime director. His team is called Studio Ghibli. He makes short anime, and movie-length anime, but he never makes TV anime. He made a lot of famous anime, in particular his work "Spirited Away" has got an oskar prize, which is very unusual for an anime (because people awarding oskars are anime haters). You might have also seen My Neighbour Totoro, Nausicaia of the Valley of Winds, Princess Mononoke and a few others. And thought they were just cartoons, because they aren't very much anime-like. Miyazaki is one of those creators who have strong opinions and express them in their works and otherwise. In particular, people like to misquote his attitude to the state of anime as a whole. Miyazaki is old now, and is trying to retire. But he's been making anime all his life (starting out as an animator), so it never works out, and he always ends up making one last masterpiece. In short, Miyazaki is like a cranky old master of anime. He might not look like much, but he has awesome skills and mysterious personal philosophy. |
| Buzz off.. will ya.. People have their own opinions and hating.. this stuff not related in any kind of matter.. |

Why do you think people hate anime so much without even seeing anything related to anime? Sorry if my english is bad, its because english isnt my first language. I think having to read subtitles and listen to a foreign language is a big turnoff for many. The dubbed alternative is also somewhat off-putting because the voice actors aren't always the best, the translations might be bad, and the mouth animations tend to suffer. I think another issue is that a small minority of anime watchers are a little too invested in anime. I'm talking about those darned weebs who devote their lives to anime, living the anime culture, and tend to come off as childish and cringey. I know people who don't watch anime because they don't want to be associated with those types of people and they think that all people who watch anime must have similar personalities. Obviously that's not true, but when your only exposure to anime is through 30 year olds cosplaying anime, it's not hard to see where the stigma against anime comes from. |

| My cousins asked my uncle this a few days ago, and he said he hated anime because of it's art style. At least it was a better, and more genuine reason than my father's, who hates it because it's "girly". also this.. |

| Because otherwise you wouldn't be the unique snowflake in the group. |
  |
| I said it once, I'll say it again: "People don't like what they don't understand." |
 |
| No one hates anime more than people who watch anime themselves, though. |
| So what if they don't want to watch? Are people not allowed to not have an interest in something? |
   |
| Before, I used to reject anything related to anime. It just seemed immature & childish to me. I didn't hate it. I knew stuff like Sailor Moon, Pokemon, & DBZ was from Japan but that didn't kept me from rejecting anything else that was drawn in cartoons and was either in Japanese or subtitled. I had a poor image of it, like it was junk, and I didn't want to associate with it. If you had asked me then "Why don't you watch anime?" I would have said because it's weird, childish, and immature, and I don't want to relate to it. My friends who were big into fandoms/communities of different sorts (mostly gaming) were not particularly good at selling their hobbies/fandoms either, so they never inspired me to look closer either. So, there's that, may be it helps answer your question, but really the take away from here is that it's in good part ignorance and the poor social view it creates towards anime. |
EcchiLordMamster said: No thats not the point of this question, people can like what ever they want to watch it isnt like im saying that everyone needs to watch anime i just asked why they dont like it if they never seen it hopefuly you comprehended better what i sayed.So what if they don't want to watch? Are people not allowed to not have an interest in something? Sry for the english, english isnt my first language |

StreamerPT said: Hey everyone, I tried to get my friends to watch anime but they dont want to, and they never seen any anime ever. A couple of questions: 1. What did you show them? 2. How did you "try to get them to watch"? What was the context of the situation? |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| Because there is nothing that fits what they desire from it. My sister for instance really likes Chobits. That is it. Not an anime fan but likes Chobits. |
