I love JRPGs with a passion.  Look at my game collection, most of them are JRPGs and most of my all-time favorite games are JRPGs.  BUT I HATE Anime with a passion.  Can't stand the art, hate the story and characters are lame.  Is anybody else the same way?

It's perfectly normal to hate anime as it is generally pretty bad.

well i'm a big fan of both,so yes you are the only one(jk) my friend is the exact opposite: he likes anime but doesn't like JRPG's

Damn Straight lol. I love anime (not all of it) and JRPGs but I HATE manga.....

what do you like, the 3D anime look?

I love anime, but I am very very picky about the anime that I watch.  And I love JRPG's, most of my collection of games are JRPG's.

I totally agree with you man. I love JRPG's but I hate Anime with a passion ! Except for Dragon Ball Z, that was sick.

Well, there is a LOT of anime that sucks, but there are a lot that are good too, cant see how anyone can say all anime characters are lame. Also, there is diversity in the way they are drawn so you cant generalize there too, or story.

You can hate it all, its possible, but saying ALL anime sucks is pretty innacurate.

Anime can be really awful. Most of it is made on extremely low budgets and turned out to make a quick buck.

JRPGs like Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest may have drawn a lot from anime, but they've created aesthetic and storytelling styles that aren't really following the same conventions as anime any more (in the opinion of one foreigner).

That said, anyone ever seen Nausicaa of the Valley of Wind? It's got airships and chocobos and it was made in the early eighties, before Final Fantasy.
