For me it's when I get into a series and then it blows up super mainstream and starts getting memed to death like KNY and Nezuko memes on reddit right now. I also hate when LN adaptations go completely astray from the source material like with Arifureta.

Cheapness. A show that is literally made literally just to push a product out the door. No heart, no soul, feels like none of the staff enjoyed making it, that sort of show. So... capitalism, basically.

I watch anime for anime, so no matter how bad an anime community is, how others see anime, or even streaming site exclusivity, none of these issues are worse than when an anime betrays my expectations. The worst anime fanbase on the planet is a lot less grating than when a show I love ends up having a mediocre second half. I can ignore the fanbase, but I can't ignore the anime's dip in quality

- Watching only Naruto (or insert any super popular mainstream shounen-battle shows here) and claiming it's the best show ever (Believe me. Personal experience.)
- Praising Boku no Hero Academia for "being unique" (There're other ways to praise it. Try those.)

Opinions like:
- CGDCT shows are bad because they "exist" or because they're "cute" (???)
- This show has dominant female cast / a female protagonist therefore it's bad

Tl;dr

Self righteous morons who feel they can moralize on very arbitrary aspects of the industry. Those that take criticism to personal insult level basically in general I can't stand.

I guess in general industry issues I hate some of the overproduction of this industry and wish we had more well produced works with studios treating animators better. I also wish the main fanbase wasn't so focused purely on whatever new seasonal is out.

I guess yeah anime not receiving sequels to shows I like is one though that seems less of an issue lately which is nice. Still it's pretty normal stuff that you will find in any fandom for the most part and the stuff that annoys me here is far less compared to some other hobbies.

Those who think shounen is inherently childlish and only a thing to get you into anime that you will eventually stray away from after developing your own particular niches, it's a misconception that it's something you grow out of as you get older and I think its a vast misnomer.

What gets me even more annoyed is people trying to separate the: "Good shounen" from the "Bad shounen". You will see people crucify themselves as Christ to separate Academia(lol) and HxH from Naruto and Bleach when you can't deny they're clearly in the same family and execute similar themes (fights) to fulfill thematic throughlines. There's nothing that different about them. Calm down a little. It's like trying to praise Civil War by calling it Clockwork Orange while the rest of the Marvel Films are on a "lesser" level.

This. So much this.

So many anime have fallen into the "if you wanna know more, then go read the damn manga or long for a season 2 that will never come" category. Not an issue for me to read the manga of course, but watching the anime is more fun because I followed that storyline (which usually diverges from the manga either a little bit or drastically).

Case in point: Nanbaka. There's certainly enough for a season 3, so where is it TuT;

The whole vocal part of the anime community that embarrasses us at every chance since they are brain-dead.

People yelling every day that a show is bad because they don't like it and everyone else should think the same.

CG anime that should step up their game like Houseki no Kuni and Beastars.

Anime only people in general.

Just the things that are the most annoying to me,but keeping it short for now.

But one should differentiate between shounens right?
If one liked Bleach, does not mean one will like Naruto.

The "All LNs are ecchi/harem/Isekai (and therefore) garbage" crowd. Just like anime, it is a very diverse medium that has a wide variety of characters and themes. Fate/Zero, SAO, HakoMari, S&W, Koten-bu, Monogatari, etc. are the living proof of how groundbreaking this medium can be (and also why it is my favorite.)

Also lewdness and fujobait.

School melodrama, fanservice, sexualised lolis, lack of diversity (though it seems that is starting to change with shows like Cannon Busters).

Edit: Just saw that Cannon Busters was an American comic like The Boondocks. Not sure why Japanese anime studios don't diversify. And what is up with so many Japanese characters looking European? Weird.

All the pointless bickering that comes up when someone says they like something and 3 other people jump and try to "prove" that that something is trash. Bonus points if listed favorites are brought up as an argument against an opinion's validity.

Pairings being heavily teased for 75% of a show but ultimately going nowhere. Feels like a waste of time.

Anime that waste time on long panning shots and slowed down dialogue, making me watch them at 1.2x speed.

I don't hate any anime. There are some i find bad or horrible,but i just simply dislike them,i don't hate them like a most of anime fans,who hate anime randomly for stupid and trivial reasons. Only thing i hate in anime are haters who badmouth my favorite anime and my favorite characters because they watch anime from critical perspective and my favorite shows didn't met their high expectations and standards,but some of them are delusional idiots who can't tell difference between real trash and fake trash. I have low expectations when it's comes to action or shounen or harem anime,but i have high expectations when i watch psychological or Slice of Life or supernatural anime. My standards are low because i watched anime that is so bad that it's makes me re-watch anime i dropped.

-People criticising a show for such a small issue.
(Nothing is perfect! Not even you!)

-People MUST "hate" other shows that rival their favourites.
(Anime is made for everyone. Your job is to watch and enjoy, not being a critic.)

-People watching anime less than 720p and in noisy places.
(Don't insult the animators and the production staff! Watch HD with ear/headphones!)

-Ignorant fans.
(Do more research before arguing, otherwise you will look very stupid in the forum/comments.)

-Rating and reviewing a show before watching it.
(Your review is WORTHLESS if you haven't finish the last episode. Don't go trashing the show just because it's rivaling/better than your favourites and you hadn't seen it.)

Indeed, that is a very bad thing to say. Good thing I didn’t say it.

What I am saying is that Shounen structurally in terms of their formulas are extremely similar, and I cannot find one battle shounen that strays from this formula. While Togashi’s pessimistic view of the human condition in Hunter x Hunter’s Chimera Ant Arc is a masterpiece, in my opinion, it is no more pathos-filled and "unique" in concept than Kubo’s view of a might-makes-right, kratocratic oligarchy in the Espada Saga. Certain things just resonate better or worse with certain people, and that’s perfectly fine, what I am saying is that; Don’t diss other shounen and try so hard to seperate them because one is unique and one is not. Hunter x Hunter is great--but it’s not unique. Do not tell me a shounen is great because it’s different from other shounen. Tell me it’s great by praising the aspects it has. Academia is fine, but it’s no more of a “character drama” than Naruto, or Bleach, or One Piece, it is when these comparisons start to happen that it nudges me in the wrong way. Comparing shounen to other shounen trying to praise one and diss the other is just asking for trouble.

But yes, watch all shounen anyway if you’re interested in them. It’s a fun, if not fairly toxic genre.

First thing that came to mind is that I hate that there is more good anime than I'll ever have time to watch.

More in line with other responses, I hate when anime fans dislike or dismiss older anime just because it's old, especially coming from people whose idea of what is old isn't actually that old.

What I hate the most is having to rely on pirated anime websites (such as KissAnime and 9anime), because they are:
1) Filled with ads;
2) The player is slow (sometimes the thing just doesn't want to work)
3) Can get taken down easily.
Pirated websites are the only ones I can use to watch some anime, so their flaws become much more visible, and I simply don't have an alternative.

Definitely the ignorance, toxicity, stupidity, arrogance and obnoxiousness of other anime fans/people.

From the rare actual elitists to the people who still claim elitistm is the biggest problem in the community.

From people who think that the more people like something the more it deserves to be hated and criticized, to the people who think popularity makes something immune to criticism.

From overly critical people who have to nitpick about everything like it's their hobby to the numb consumers who eat up everything and are inapable of having a single critical thought in their head and even get offended at the idea.

From the people who insist that their arguments and opinions are more objective than those of others, to the people who shut down every attempt to analyse and discuss a show with infantile and redundant appeals to 'everything being subjective'.

From people who call everything 'pretentious' that tries to explore some deeper topics or themes to the people who call every battle shounen 'dumb' and 'generic' to feel less stupid themselves.

From weebs who are ignorant as fuck about western media but shit on it at every opportunity while whining about normies doing the same to anime, to people who say they're 'anime fans' but hate every single typical anime trope or genre.

From people whose only interest in anime is to fap to it to moral purists who would like to ban all kinds of sexualization from anime.

From people who think Yaoi is 'progressive' to people who think being a lolicon equals being a pedophile. Especially when they don't even know what pedophilia is and use the term in regards to high school girls or teenagers in general.

And definitely anyone who ever quoted Sturgeons Law in any kind of serious or even semi-serious context as well as anyone who hates a whole genre but keeps watching shows from it and actually convincing himself that he's fairly criticizing those shows despite already going in knowing that he's gonna hate whatever they do because he hates their genre and all its tropes and patterns.


I could probably list a lot more because my disdain for people/anime fans comes in as many facettes as there are stars in the universe, but I'm running out of time. There's really only one way I'll get along with an anime fan (or person in general), which is if they're open-minded, reasonable, patient, friendly, reflected, passionate and not judgmental, generalizing or on an egotrip. If they don't take themselves and anime too seriously, but also don't belong to the 'everything is ironic/sarcastic/cynic' crowd that couldn't have a normal, serious conversation if their life depended on it.

So, you see, there's a million ways in which people/anime fans can get on my nerves and most fall into at least one of those categories. I've met maybe half a dozen of people in my 10 years on MAL that I got to know well and STILL liked. I treasure those people, just like I treasure the few real friends I've found IRL.
I probably regret this post by now.
