But Yeah, I'd say this one has to be it, yeah some art styles can be lame and all but does this really stop you from watching an anime series that you may enjoy or like? Not at all! (My Opinion, Anyhoo)

~ Canaan


Yes - obviously. There are a fair number of series I won't watch because I don't like the art style, others which I might like the story of but the art style not so much.

Anime is a visual medium after all and art style preference is pretty subjective - imo art style plays a big part of creating the tone of the series and if I think that it either conflicts with the story which it is going to try and tell or just don't enjoy it as a style there is no reason for me to watch it.

Though, to be fair, "The art is horrible" can mean any number of things; from the style being not something the viewer likes to the technical quality not being up to snuff, so it's not really a valid excuse unless it's elaborated on.

Why not watch it if the premise sounds interesting enough? It's not like you won't get used to the art style after a few episodes.

no it's not. what actual problem is how that problem visualized. most of time it's irrational for 14 years old think like that or exagrated. Usagi drop (anime) is good example.

I've never seen anyone make a genuine criticism of Clannad

you just hear "muh deus ex machina" and "muh pointless side character episodes", both of which have been debunked countless times.

This ^

I almost got a friend of mine into anime but they complained that they didn't like having to read subtitles (even though they have them on for other movies that are in English!).

I tried to get them into dubbed anime (even though it's the devil) and they hated that as much as I do...

Otherwise my friend dropped Baccano on its first episode because he apparently doesn't like 'tragic stuff'..

Ill post my own reason for not watching clannad. I cant stand their Ultra-Huge-climaxing eyes. Its like in a constant state of "notice me senpai".

Dont get me wrong I like Good anime, AND according to this site it is good, but i just cannot bear the thought that i'd be in constant state of "like me because im super cute".

Also i refuse to watch fairy tail, naruto, dragonball, one piece. I feel that these shows are in a constant state of "stretch the plotline indefinitely".

Just go to some popular anime with visible flaws like SAO, Shigatsu, etc.
There will be a bunch
Of course, there are those with valid reasons for hating the show, then there's
"cuz it's not realistic", and "cuz it sucks"

anything can take away from plot

all ecchi does is give us eyecandy, boners etc, it doesnt slow the show down


its kinda easy to keep up with whats going on in a show despite being aroused by the odd scene.....

i don't said only ecchi can. but it indeed can and valid critism. as for rosario vampire, what's going on is complitely eresed, changed by "odd-scane".

Well Naruto is 100% bullshit. And it's too long, with too many fillers I agree on these.

The yaoi/yuri scenes take place two-three years later
They almost get laid when being 12 and once they are 14 they all turn gay/lesbian. In any case I didn't feel in the need to apply our nowadays' judgement. It was foreshadowed and not really relevant.

I think it made perfect sense in the way the story should have naturally proceeded. Is 'it was foreshadowed' necessarily bad?
I wonder if the production team actually considered that the audience might be uncomfortable with it (assuming a somewhat 'intellectual' target audience given the philosophical undertones) and decided to do it anyway just to umm, open us up a little more; because the Bonobos' society of love makes perfect sense and discarding the idea just because of sexual taboo is shallow.

What TAS said is a perfectly fine reason to not like a sports anime, if he doesn't feel any tension it can get boring.

-Retroalwayswins
I don't know about anime but watching a match play out is about as tense as it gets IRL unless we're talking terrorist attacks and stuff (which, if tension is what you're looking for, will rarely be broadcasted interesting enough for you).
If only things as dark as death threats can get you excited, how boring do you find life in general?
