| The idea of 'liking' weapons is one I find bizarre. |

Isn't really using them as weapons. I'm guessing that while you wouldn't want to wave it around willy nilly, a competitive fencing sword isnt sharpened in the way it would be if it was intended for killing people? |

These are not activities to take pleasure in. I don't think majority of people like weapons for the sole purpose that they are dangerous items capable of taking one's life if used correctly, but rather most are fans of the crafting and design of said weapons. Japanese swords for instance difer in size, shape, way that it was used in the past, etc.. so is fascinating to marvel not only that but the little custom details in it as well. I am sure many people like to watch programs such as "Forged in Fire" and/or more so related to pop-culture "Man at Arms" for those reasons. Just like my anime; divorced from reality, I take most of my experience of weapons from gaming and the media. So most people actually like weapons in movies and games. |

| Detective Conan demonstrates a very creative use of many everyday objects as murder weapons. Also apparently you can use a fan against an attacker with katana and disarm him (her in the show)...if you are skilful enough tho. |
| I used to hate guns because of how dangerous they are, but anime showed me how harmless they are against anybody trained in martial arts so I started liking them simply for the aesthetic. |

Don't try something dangerous like that against an armed robber. The best defense is always a CCW and training classes. |

| Anime taught me that nunchaku are the ultimate weapon. I used them against some guy trying to mug me with a knife. I got stabbed and he took my wallet but I still think he was intimidated by my nunchaku skills. |

| a sythe. I wouldn't say I disliked it or anything, but after watching anime I can say that sythes are pretty badass. |

| Irl I generally dislike weapons and in fiction I don't really have strong opinions on specific weapon types as a whole one way or the other so those opinions can't really change through anime. They can be used well or look cool or aesthetic in action choreography, in certain scenes, when wielded in a certain way or by specific characters, but that doesn't really make me feel anything about the weapon (type) itself. Only about how it is used in a certain context or contexts. Black Lagoon has a bunch of really cool scenes with guns, so I like Black Lagoon and its action scenes but that's about it. I never even thought of liking guns because of that, or of projecting my opinion of those action scenes onto the weapon type. |
