Message: <blockquote data-quote="burnrate" data-source="post: 1576819" data-attributes="member: 9602">There are several posts in this thread already stating that anyone who hates anime is ignorant or something to that effect, which seems to me, in itself, an extremely ignorant statement. Hate is a strong word, not one I would use, but I do very much dislike all of anime art I've seen. So much so that it would ruin any aspect of a story or any entertainment value associated with a particular movie, show, or book. I don't like the hair, eyes, mouths, legs, bodies, weapons, color schemes or anything else about the art. It doesn't appeal to me. Does that make me ignorant? Does it mean I must like nascar or American television (I don't and don't)? What an ignorant thing to say! The art of anime, although I'm sure it varies across the genre, is so pervasive as to make the whole impossible to enjoy if it isn't art that appeals. The stories may be great. I'll never know. No, I don't only attribute my perception of the art to yu-gi-oh and pokemon, although those are so widespread they can't help but influence a perception. I see the art in video stores, on comic books, in game shops, on t-shirts, and on various other places. I don't know to which series they belong. I only know that collectively I don't like the art. I have no issue with those of you who do. Continue to enjoy. Don't think someone who doesn't think the same of the genre is an idiot however, as I've read in the above posts. It's like telling someone they are an idiot or ignorant because they don't like tomatos.</blockquote>
