I think you should stop taking drugs or stop smoking/drinking if people tell you to.

Anime though? Why listen to people who haven't even experienced it? If you are one of those people who crack under peer pressure, then..... Just stop letting people do that. Start thinking for yourself sometimes.

Or even better, show the haters some good anime. I recommend Usagi Drop or a good Ghibli or Shinkai or Kon movie.

If you value the opinions of others over your enjoyment of anime then quit. It depends on what you want.
Alternatively, you could show people some of the anime suggested in this thread to change their minds.

Its not like you cant hide your passion for anime from others or just be a cool enough individual to break the stereotypes.
Or just light a blunt, watch some good stuff and forget all else.

this thread could make me quit anime in some other life tho


Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself.

That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes!

anime is just getting to a point to where its becoming more and more of the norm. even if it is just starting with people watching super mainstream dubbed versions of shows, it's still anime and people are getting more into it than ever.

just stick with it if you get enjoyment out of it.

Honestly, if what take you to stop to watch anime is the fact that people criticize it, then you weren't that big of a fan to begin with.

You seem to put a lot of weight on what others think regarding a harmless and private activity.

Are you living for yourself or for the approval of other people who generally don't truly care?

If you're so ashamed of anime, you don't have to tell people you watch it.

lol wtf? why should you?
But if you care that much about what others think , well I guess you should quit.

I like to see things with my own eyes, so I don't really mind if it's hated or not, as long as I enjoy it, it's okay for me.

I you like and enjoy anime, you should keep watching and ignore what everyone says. In the end, what matters it's what you think about it.

Absolutely not.
For example.
Back in 2010, I discovered dubstep and at that time it was quite hated (it still kinda is but who gives a shit). Instead of being discouraged by it, I thought to myself:
"Well, more for me to enjoy I guess."

I hope anime will stick to me just as dubstep did. ^_^

No! You should keep watching what you like/love. You shouldn't care for trolls saying shit.

If you like anime and makes you happy, you should keep watching. ♡

If you quit doing things that other people hate you will never do anything. Examples of other things some people hate:

-Cars (how many Amish do you see driving?)
-The internet
-Porn
-Going to the doctor/dentist
-Fattening food
-Low-fat food
-Bland Food
-Over-spiced food
-Religion
-Atheism
-Dogs
-All genres of music
-Working
-School
-Crime dramas
-Soap operas
-The theory of evolution
-Celebrities
-Politics
-Public speaking
-Babies
-Air travel
-Plastic bags
-Fundraisers
-Homosexuals
-Kittens
-Books
-(insert any random race of humanity)
-Science
-Mathematics
-Environmental activists
-Jehovah's Witnesses
-Neil DeGrasse Tyson
-Mickey Mouse
-People who ask questions
-Superhero comics
-Action movies
-Vaccines
-Anime

As you can see, this list includes many different things and people. Should you avoid exposure to everything on this list because there's someone out there who hates them? Is that even possible? All of these things are hated by some people. I bet there's probably some things on it that you hate, too, as well as some things you love. (Neil DeGrasse Tyson rules!) If you rejected all the things you loved because others don't share your love, would you really be happy?

You have two options in this situation:
Watch anime because you like it
Or
Stop watching anime because other people think it's uncool.

My opinion?
One day, you'll be dead. It's stupid to spend your time on this earth bending to the popular trends and avoiding things that bring you happiness because it's "uncool." Do what you like to do, watch what you like to watch. You have one shot at life. Enjoy it.

If you are that self-conscious (if you are in puberty I don't blame you) just hide your interest in anime when you are around other people

It's not a hard thing to do

Why would you need the approval of others when you are just trying to enjoy something you like?

I got a lot of shticks for watching anime in general by people around my campus [Despite the fact that i am not watching it on campus], but i pay no heed to them.

The people who hate anime never actually watched some. Maybe only the main stream popular ones like Naruto and Bleach. You should definitely continue watching anime. It might get a lot of hate, but it gets a lot more love and praise.

well u shouldnt follow what they told u to do. That ur choices to make. If u like anime, based on the plots and beautiful drawn by pro artist. U shouldnt quit it. the only thing u should avoiding is watching hentai stuff. That all.

Well, I also care what others think of me to a certain point, but that's why I try to show them that most anime fans are just ordinary people and no weebs.
I would never stop watching anime because of the bad rep - it's not THAT bad tho.

Judge the anime yourself. There are a lot of reviews here that are straight horrible and questionable, so I suggest judge the anime yourself and go watch it! Don't based your opinions on other people's reviews or opinions.

Why do you care so much as to what the world thinks? Why are you even asking this question here? Just be firm and make your own decisions. Don't depend on others to make your decisions for you. If you want o quit, quit, if you don't want to, don't. Why do you need to bother with other people?

Quit only if you don't like it anymore, if it's too boring, bland or perverse for you. Haters gonna hate. I don't care what other people think, I'm slowly quitting it because of above mentioned reasons. Too much love or hate anything gots never bothered me.

Yes. Anime is terrible and you should watch sports instead.


I recommend golf. The best sport and there isn't any anime about it. Okay, there's probably one, but there's not enough golf anime to redeem the medium as a whole.


There's that episode of initial D with takumis GF (can't remember her name lol) and she's a pro golfer... Pretty sure it's stage 3 or 4...

OT: LOL
There is a golf manga currently running in Weekly Shounen Jump. It's called Robot x LaserBeam and it's written by the same guy who wrote Kuroko's Basketball.
