Out of all the things I said, this is what you quoted. Well for one, when I revive the anime club here in my school I'll proly expect a bunch of Narutards Naruto fans and they'll incessantly be talking about Naruto and Naruto Shippuden and when I try to recommend them to a more obscure(but just as good, if not better) anime like Tokyo Tribe 2 they'll most likely berate it and think I have shit taste which is clearly not the point. It's because they're not open to the lesser known and lesser publicized anime. Just because it didn't have the massive budget to get all the airtime it can for commercials and what not doesn't mean it's trash.

It's hard to not like lolis, their cuteness pander to the same emotions that naturally makes us fathers.

But it's hard to get off to anything that doesn't have any adult women characteristics like large tits, ass, and thighs.

Historically speaking the masses have always flocked to the biggest turd. Clearly being less popular already means you're superior.

Just look at those filthy neckbeard losers, they're less popular than everyone else so they must be cool.

I don't care for anime with that type of art style. It looks like beefed up people on steroids. Same goes for street fighter, only it's better as a game then it is an anime. I played street fighter to death when I was a kid. I get that people like what they like, but the art style (to me at least) is atrocious.
I bet you won't be saying that with a whopping GOLD EXPERIENCE REQUIEM in your face.
It's not an Anime though, it's Manga.

Half of the Street Fighter characters are based on JoJo :o

"Most likely" now you're predicting the future and painting them as the bad guys. You can't control what people like, that's what's on tv there so that's mostly what will be most popular. The best thing for you to do would be to watch Naruto so you can talk to them about it and recommend anime that are similar or whatever. Of course if you start off in the opposite direction they might not take to it.
I still don't see how that means you can't get into those anime. They like to talk about Naruto a lot, so you can't watch it? They think Toky Tribe 2 is bad(which hasn't happened yet) so you can't watch Naruto?

Out of all the good reasons you could have named, you had to name an utterly BS one. Finding their so-called behaviour annoying is one thing, but why would it ruin your enjoyment when you're watching it? Unless you claim to hate it without even watching it?...

I'm just saying the same could be said for any Manga that has created a distinct artstyle.
Not sure how this sprouted from Vento Aureo being good despite Deus ex Machina but I'll use any chance I have to go off on a JoJo tangent.

Stop twisting my words, I never said I hated it. Why is it that most people come to the conclusion that if someone avoids something they don't like it?For example even though I prefer not to listen to mainstream music doesn't mean I will not tolerate it if its being played in the gym when I'm working out. Sadly, most people don't tolerate what I listen to and give me weird looks; That is not the case. There might be a myriad of reasons of why a person is not watching that series at the time.Also for the record, I LIKE CODE GEASS AND DEATH NOTE. Those were hella popular anime at the time and still are. I am not an elitist and I am the complete opposite when I rate anime; Yes, what's wrong with that? I for one love Yuri incest, twincest. Also because it's anime so why not? Yuri is the purest form of love :3 I will report them however if they do have kiddie porn or suspect them of having it.

I have friends that do like Naruto from High School and they were fun to be around with. Haven't seen them for a hella long time but they were a nice bunch. It would have been nice if I was able to watch it with them.What I do find interesting is how there are hella fighting styles in the Naruto universe. I love diversity in general. I also think it's daunting looking at how many episodes the series is. I mean people have mentioned splitting them into their respective arcs but that's still like 30 episodes/arc.

I think it's silly to hate an anime for being popular. I find a lot of good series (not just anime but in general) just by picking up things that I see people talking about.

Hating an anime's fandom on the other hand is a different story.

No, I just don't like what does not appeal to my personal taste. There are popular things that I like a lot, and others that I don't. There are also popular things that I found entertaining but "liked" to a lesser degree than other people.

Hating something just because it's popular is stupid. The same is true if you like something only because it's popular. I personally don't give a shit about how popular an anime is, if I like it then I like it. I mean, I really like "popular" stuff like One Piece, Gintama or FMA as well as stuff like Kaiji or Monster, which aren't as "popular". Popularity has nothing to do with my opinion on something.

Nah, hating an Anime based off its popularity is just being a hypocrite and ignorant.

Some of the popular Anime I have seen are actually pretty good, some are over-hyped yes, but sometimes some Anime actually deserve the hype that it's getting, and hating it just for it getting more attention than another is just ridiculous. =^~^=

But it happens.

So you're saying that you only hate nature because of the fans and the popularity, nothing about the anime itself.

Wow

Eh the popularity wouldnt bother me if the narutards didnt wear the lame-ass headbands everywhere they want. I mean I understand wanting to wear something showing off your favorite thing. I myself wear a Soul Eater emblem necklace everywhere I go but the difference is I keep it low-key. They were (are?) flamboyant with it and theres little I hate more than flamboyancy. And because of its popularity, I had the pleasure of seeing an increasing number of narutards.

Also, I still think the idea of a NINJA in an orange jumpsuit is INCREDIBLY stupid.

How so? I dont hate anything I dislike for being more popular than something I like. I hate Naruto because of the number of headband-wearing jerks I happen to see which happens to be tied to its popularity. Its not directly because its popular though.

people who hate popular things usually hate the fans of said things. Not cause they're elitists, but cause the fans (or a majority that they run into) are elitists and annoying.
Most of the time they've been bothered to watch said thing over and over to the point where they think "If its aimed at people this immature I want no part of that"

That it is.

Still on topic, I don't really get why people immediately latch on to every popular show and call it the worst thing ever when most of them are pretty well above average. If you think Sword Art Online is the worst thing ever just wait until you see Master of Martial Hearts and Psychic Wars

Although Mirai Nikki is the one exception and easily one of the worst things I've ever watched on the basis of it terribly written, morally abhorrent in all the wrong ways, packed with unnecessary angst and just plain unlikeable.

I don't particularly hate series when they are popular, but it's more the controversy that derives from them that gets me sick and tired and don't start watching. For example, all the pointless/endless discussion with "narutards vs bleachtards vs piecetards". They give these series a bad name.

I also keep hearing that series like Naruto and Bleach almost have more filler than actual cannon episodes. That's also a turn off lol. The big hype around Attack on Titan is something that has interested me as well, but then in a positive way. I might give that anime a chance later this year.

Plenty of people who hate an anime just because it's popular. roriconfan and a bunch of his fans are like that in fact, so we have quite the community on this website that shows it.

Me on the other hand, I make decisions based on what I feel of the anime. SAO? Complete pile of shit with next to no redeeming qualities other than it's unintentional humour. Stuff like Code Geass and JoJo are just pure fun with that sort of universal appeal that people should enjoy even if they have their weak points. People who dislike this tend to be hipsters, though there probably are some non-hipsters who have some real reason as to why they dislike this stuff.

I see no reason to dislike a series because of its popularity. I don't even care how popular something is, just whether or not I like it. (obvious-ness)
Some fanbases however can be very annoying. But people who hate on a series for no apperant reason can be just as annoying imo
