| They are most likely joking duh, or they are tsun-tsun about it. |
| Because they're tsunderes who deny their feelings. |
| better ask "them" yourself....... |

| Ever heard about "Attention Whores"? They are the ones you're looking for, OP. Have fun~ |
| I tell you a secret: You either die as anime lover or you live long enough to see yourself to become an elitist. |
 |
| That is one of the advanced stages of being a hardcore long time fan - you either fully embrace your love for anime even watching it for years, or you say anime sucks after seeing so many bad shows one after another and continue to binge on a couple more episodes to kill off your boredom. |
 |
| I like good anime, so I'm an anime fan. It's just that good anime doesn't exist. |
| They're masochists who want to torture themselves by watching stuff they hate. |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
| Because people think they can compromise for lack of penis growth through watching anime |
| They are fans of some anime Not the medium as a whole Anyway ... 90% of everything is crap |
 |
| just repeat the ancient Japanese proverb ANIME IS TRASH AND SO AM I and then go watch anime everyone hates |

| Most anime are bad, but that doesn't mean that the few that are good I should stop watching anime altogether because of the many rotten apples that are released every season, but then again enjoying some mindlessness and stupidity in movies or shows won't hurt, that, however, does not mean that we shouldn't look at it with a critical eye or critique it for what it isn't. Let me ask you with a counter question, for example, you enjoy a certain genre of music, say, trance, you enjoy few artists/DJs, but you don't like(not hate) many others, do you stop listening to that genre or do you selectively approach what you're going to listen next after you've built up your experience and taste for what you like and what you don't like? |
 |
| It's because most anime is trash. There is good anime but it's mostly trash. |
 |
| I do not understand the not understanding. I know potato crisps are pretty trashy, I still like to eat them sometimes. We even call junkfood that, and it sells like ... well, nothing sells like junkfood. maybe booze does. I watched One Piece for a while until I had enough, and I watched it pretty much the same way I occasionally eat junkfood. I would have had no problem with someone calling it "trash". I still often prefer watching, well, not trash, but anime that is not exceptionally good, just good enough/ decent. You could say sth. typically rated 7.x at MAL. It is a more relaxed watching to me than watching sth. really, really good. Atm. I am watching among others Lucky Star, which I find to be quite trashy - bar the Lucky Channel segment and the ending credits. |
| *darn, using my right hand is off-limits for a while. Typing with my left hand only is ... eww.* |
| They were actually anime haters who had disguised as anime fans. And then they went to anime forums, calling "anime is shit" just to cause flame, wars... It's all just according to their keikaku! |
15poundfish said: What percentage of anime has to be excellent for anime to not be trash? the quantity of good anime in general is much lower than other mediums. Finding a good book, movie, tv show and video game is easy in comparison. @ouriel Your mean score tells me a different story.

And how can potato chips taste trashy? Or do you mean potato ships is trash because you don't like it, or simple because it is a junk food that is known to be bad for your body? Let me tell you a secret, too much of anything is bad for you. Eating Junk food moderately will not affect you. Junk food taste good, but too much of it, isn't good. That is it. |

| @keragamming I'm not following the MAL score system, for me, a show/movie that I've scored as 6 is below average, 7 is average, 8 is good, 9 is very good and 10 is great, then my score is average. |
|
| Probably none dude. And, I'm sure you'll agree to it. |
| People's very judgamental so no wonder some want to hide the fact that they're otaku/watch anime and trash it to keep it a safe secret. It's kinda weird though, I don't think anime is something as bad as to hide that you watch it. As for the rest, people who watches anime, doesn't hide the fact that they do and still trash it all, I can only say they're masochists. |

15poundfish said: keragamming said: @ouriel Your mean score tells me a different story. If most anime are bad, you shouldn't have a mean score 6+ or 7+ You do realize that number makes anime look worse when I have only watched about around 2% to 3% of all anime. Quantity wise that is worse than Sturgeon's Law where the number of decent titles is around 10%. I don't think anime should be judged by the quantity because it cannot be judged linearly. Good anime are exceptions not the rule but even those exceptions cannot outclass great Hollywood movies and live action American shows. I like to watch some Anime, but to say I like Anime as a medium would say I have no taste as watcher in the same way if I said I like television and movies as mediums. Your mean score is 6+ which means you think the anime medium is above average overall. Your mean score contradicts your claim. From what I've seen 6 and 7 seems to be your most use score. And those numbers are positive scores. I don't know why you hold movie and tv series so highly, imo they are at the same quality. But that is not the point here anyways. |

| Because anime is trash and only by disguising myself as a fan can I expose the truth. |
 |
| I believe it's either to troll insecure weebs for fun or they indeed do hate anime (perhaps they are a western supremacist) and just watch it so they can judge with supposed 'merit', without receiving the obvious criticism of, "you haven't even watched anime so why are you talking shit about it" etc. ^^ the guy above me is an example of the latter except he doesn't seem to hate anime and just thinks western shows are better. |

| Because some anime fans have the "If majority of the people hate/dislike this anime, then I hate/dislike it, too" mentality. |
     "Maybe he's trying to take a shit, but the shit just won't come out." Captain Levi, 2014 (／^-^)／☆♪  ♪☆＼(^０^＼) |
| On the one hand there is a lot of self-loathing in the anime community. People watching stuff they see as shit. People hating themselves for enjoying certain kinds of anime. People being prejudiced against anime or the community despite being a part of it. People bashing each other out of insecurity because they always need someone to look down on, to blame the 'bad' aspects of anime/anime fandom on. So they can set themselves aside as the 'better' or 'real' kind of anime fan. It's kind of sad and pitiful but it is how it is. On the other hand this is also very true: ExperimentAddict said: @AnimeLover6051 Yes, you are. When someone likes EVERYTHING, he can't explain why he likes and is unable to describe his own taste. You obviously don't like everything, as you stated. You like almost everything and that's more than enough to come to a contradiction. If you evaluate the 'criteria' that you use to give an anime a score, you'll probably find out that there is no criteria. You like, you give a good score. You don't like, you give a low score. That's it. Period. I think "creepy" could be replaced by "mindless" in this case. You don't have to think about what you're watching, just enjoy. That kind of people are the first ones to bother people hating their favorites. After all, why hate if you just can stop watching/reading, right? That's pretty annoying, because most of the "haters" aren't haters and don't call anime "trash" without reason. I hope they continue hating, because if there were only people who "enjoy" and "like" things, the producers would not mind in producing anything good, just shit that people will swallow anyway because they just accept. And dude, the MAL community is fulled with these universal "likers". There's little more frustrating than being labeled a hater by some mindless drone who avoids thinking about anime because thinking leads to analysis leads to criticism and that might make them have an opinion and having an opinion might be negative so it is best to be avoided. The truth is somewhere in the middle as always. There's a lot of mindless hating going on that's just mainly toxic, but there's also a lot of mindless liking and judging any criticism as 'mindless hate' or 'elitism' by default going on, which is just as toxic of an attitude to have. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| @15poundfish And that 2% is enough to tell how much you feel about the medium so far, same as how you don't need to watch every single anime ever existed to say tv series and movies are overall better than anime. If you are going to use that bullshit excuse, then you have no right to say tv series and movies are overall better than anime, when you only watch 2% of what the medium has to offer now do you? You will never watch every anime ever existed, so that statement is overall dumb and unrealistic. Your mean score is 6+ so far which mean you think the medium is doing fine base of your experience so far |

Its easy to say Tv series and movies are better than anime because I am looking at the best titles of each medium. I don't need to watch every single show to figure that out because watching the crap titles doesn't change the fact the best television and movies are leagues better than anime. The phrase I like a medium is such a meaningless statement or a declaration that you have no taste in entertainment. keragamming said: No, because the quantity and percentage of decent anime is far lower than other forms of entertainment. A good anime year is something you can count on a single hand while in other mediums they often have way more than a handful of good titles to consume per year.You will never watch every anime ever existed, so that statement is overall dumb and unrealistic. Your mean score is 6+ so far which mean you think the medium is doing fine base of your experience so far There is a lot of great titles you haven't even watch. But this argument is useless, its your opinion, I personally find them all equal in quality. |
| Anime hipsters, that's what they are. |
 |
| I actually went through a phase a bit like this. More specifically, I said I hated MOST anime, but there were a couple shows I loved. Then I got more into the medium, and found out that there was more stuff that appealed to me than I realized. So yeah, sometimes when people say they hate anime even though they watch anime, it's because they're unfamiliar with the genre. There's also the "I support the 2% of anime that doesn't suck," mentality, which is not necessarily born of unfamiliarity. Sometimes its simply the result of being really picky. It's also possible that people who enjoy anime will deny it because they don't want to be associated with anime fans. We have kind of a bad rep, if you haven't noticed it. |

| Dude, everything anime "fans" say should be taken with a grain of salt... Or maybe a fucking mountain... Basically, anime fans were the first to enter the post-ironic era we now live in. Literally everything is a joke. |
| They are probably butthurt because most modern anime does not pander to their taste. |
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |
