I don't hate anime, just most of the "popular" anime because it's 90% crap. 

Neon Genesis Evangelion, Ghost in the Shell, Bleach, Dragon Ball Z, Trigun, Hoshi no Koe, Naruto...etc.   All complete and utter trash to me.  Even Cowboy Bebop is 7 flavors of overrated (though it has moments of brilliance).

^ The only anime I EVER liked was DBZ...such good times..

anime is designed to run a max of 1 - 2 seasons


Disagree...The most anime (probably like 95%) are only 1-2 seasons long most of the time 26/51 episodes.

You're certainly not the only one who thinks outside the Japanese box. I don't like anime. I don't like the thin lines and deformed faces that go with the animation style. I don't like the frequent portrayal of young girls as sex objects in anime (both overtly and covertly). I don't like the Japan-worship culture that seems to go hand-in-hand with being a fan of it. I don't like fans of it who think sitting down and watching something like a mindless glassy-eyed drone for 7-8 hours is an accomplishment. "Wow. That must have taken a lot of thought. What did you do? Think about watching anime, turn the TV on and then switch the ol' brain off for 8 hours?" Not for me.

I've seen some anime cartoons. I gave it a chance on two separate occasions. Both times I found myself unimpressed with the content and technical aspects (lack of animation) in the features I watched.

For overbearing Japanophile roommates, I would suggest that you "adopt" another culture of your choosing. Maybe if you plastered your room in dolls and pictures that you were equally disconnected culture-wise from, it might shake them up a little and highlight their ridiculousness. Thinking about it, that would be expensive and almost certainly wouldn't work. Just find some louder, more obnoxious music to play over the top of theirs. Done.

And we wonder why people think you're a loser unless you play M-Rated games.  Why must someone watch "adult-themed" things if they're older.  Why do we constantly needed to be exposed to either excessive amounts of nudity/blood and gore or a dark, mature plot?  Why can't we simply enjoy something intended for a larger audience?  This idea that watching something without a R, M or AO rating as an adult is retarded.  Not solely for adults =/= bad.  Plus, isn't Girls Bravo a smutty hentai anime?

I don't dislike anime, but I greatly prefer feature films to series. The only series I successfully watched and loved was Gantz. I don't know why. It just had a certain flavor of weird that caught my interest.

I feel western animation can be just as mature as easten animation. They just do it more subtly. They combine a flavor appropriate for children with mature themes fo an older crowd. I would put Pixar up against any anime studio on Earth. 

Im sorry but the question ''Anyone here dislike, cannot stand anime?'' Is like saying ''Anyone here dislike, cannot stand music?''. It's not a genre, it's a form of media. Which for some reason you have decided to discount the whole of it.

I don't understand how you can hate an entire form of media. I mean there is basically every single genre of anime you could want.

I dot realy care for it, I do however like the studio ghibli stuff

 I tend to agree with this statement. But, it is also important to note that anime can refer to a style. Examples are Matrix and Speed Racer, both are live action but employ a heavy anim style
