I don’t care for any of it. I don’t like comic books and I don’t like Star Wars either.
Wtf is this question?
Engagement bait
Well I for one don't want to marry OP
OP has been in a lengthy struggle with the world over media. They swore off manga previously due to "christian morals" and the fact that Zombieland Saga contained zombies, then got back into it because of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, and now it seems they've hit another block within the last month.
And it's not just manga. They've also had an issue with Wikipedia.
Shouldn't "does anybody else" questions be banned from this sub? Lol
Gives me “am I a special snowflake?” vibes
This feels like a post ripped straight from the new AI Reddit. Every other post on there is some dumb ass generic question, really irking me to see that starting to overflow here now
like most things, some of it is very good but the vast majority of it is extremely poor. I wouldn't say I like or dislike it as a rule but I'd say on average I dislike it by far, and when it's bad it has a way of being very intolerably bad.
Those are pretty broad categories. It's like asking "Does anybody dislike cartoons and comics?"
To my utter dismay, I've learnt that there are some people who find that question entirely sensible and normal.
I know people who will refuse to watch anything animated or comic related
ive got a friend who will say all the time that she doesn't like cartoons but was literally ready to shove kids out of the way to watch kung fu panda 4
Does anybody dislike media?
It’s like asking “Does anybody dislike cartoons and comics?”
I have to disagree.
Comics is a huge, world-encompassing category of media in which events & stories are depicted through (generally) simplified art with text insertions. Manga (for example) is a subset of comics, being both specific to a single country as well as existing as a certain style of comics.Personally I'd add that manga tends to exist under fairly tight conventions in terms of how things are visually portrayed and in terms of how information and context is given towards the reader. For example, kind of like emojis, there's a bunch of facial reactions and certain simple phrases that instantly tell you what mood or reaction a character or the author is trying to impart. This kind of thing isn't surprising to me either, as Japan tends to heavily codify cultural tradition, even in a relatively new-ish field like manga. There's also the fact that an enormous tradition in manga came out of aping or riffing on the early creators, primarily Tezuka Osamu I'd say.
So, point is-- one can dislike a certain niche or branch of comics, but that certainly doesn't have any special impact on how one likes comics in general. Personally I'm not a huge fan of manga, and superhero comics bore the tights off me, and I'm not as much a fan of underground comics as I used to be, but overall I'm a huge fan of the comics medium, and of course love me some BD, part of why I try to make a new post daily.
Every time I get downvoted for pointing out the rampant and casual pedophilia plaguing anime, I hate weebs a little bit more.
This. I don't partake in anything anime related and I'm mostly neutral on it as a whole, but the prevalence of pedophilia and related themes is highly disturbing as is the lack of pushback against it from the community.
And, that being said, the people who make anime their entire personality are also... difficult to be around.
No joke. They're the kind of people that have to over-dramatize every damn thing and have explosive reactions to anything.
Like calm the fuck down, you're not in an anime show.
That's why I don't like most anime. There are some gems that don't stoop that low, but the bar is ridiculously low for such a high rate of not meeting it

Me.
I've tried. I won't say it doesn't deserve to be liked, but it does absolutely nothing for me.
Yeah.
Not me, but I've met plenty of people that just adamantly hate all forms of animation. I didn't much care for those people. They all had ACME sized sticks up their asses.
I am sure there are. Just like there are people who don't like comic books.
No, but I like retro anime a lot more than modern anime.

I find that there is far too much of it in my Lemmy feed. I have a very long list of blocked communities which I have blocked, tediously, one at a time as they appeared. Obviously a lot of people like it, but it’s not for me.
I wish there was a setting similar to the one that blocks NSFW content, but for anime and manga.
Not inherently but I hate most anime tropes. Most anime are also very childish or straight up nonsensically bullshit, just "too out there" if you know what I mean. There's the odd decent one though, and the rare gem, but I can't really be arsed to wade through the absolute pile of garbage first to even find them.
Im with you on this. I don't dislike anime/manga as a medium. However, there is a tendancy for the format to exaggerate things I find annoying. That and the fan culture, much like many other highly dedicated fanbases, can be a major turn-off as well.
I dislike how common certain tropes are, how overacted it is, and how formulaic most of the stories are. I also hate Shounen and its focus on which guy is strongest. It's boring to me.
Yesterday I drove by Düsseldorf, which is Germany's most Weeaboo city, and they had this ugly fucking mural at their train station.
I don't mind most anime/manga based media, but media about anime/manga makes me really uncomfortable. Defining yourself by the fact you like Anime is just a lot weirder than defining yourself by the fact you like JJBA or InitalD.
I don’t think I’ve ever been exposed to either. I mean, I know they exist, but I’ve never watched or read either and none of my peer group does (that I know of)
No I love it. Frieren is so good (´°ω°`)
As a German I want to slap someone whenever I hear those fucking "names".
I have read very little manga, and my fondness for anime is pretty limited. I enjoyed Maison Ikkoku in college. I appreciated most of the Ghibli stuff I've seen, even if I didn't always just fall head over heels in love with it, and I've been enjoying Delicious in Dungeon recently, as I think it's perfectly suited to the sort of derivative yet bonkers formulas in so much anime I've sampled. I reckon I'd probably like One Piece, but I've never just sat down with it. I don't care for Dragon Ball Z or the Magical Girl Team stuff my daughter likes, and I have no interest in the stylized hyper-violence so many shows seem to exist to portray.
I don't know, maybe I'm just too up my own western ass, but the story beats and how emotions are portrayed just never really resonated with me. It's hard to explain. I don't dislike all anime, but relatively little of it works for me. I do, however, like a lot of western animation with clear influences from anime and manga. I guess I can appreciate it in the same way some filmmakers are "directors' directors" and some musical artists are "songwriters' songwriters." I'm glad people find it compelling and inspirational, but I find I need some of those influences to get syncretized and remixed with other stuff before I "get it."
TL;DR: Not really, but it's not you, anime, it's me!
I haven't really tried a lot. Bits and pieces look interesting but overall it doesn't appeal to me.
I like manga, but I dislike some anime. The voices they use for some of the characters are super annoying to me.
I love western comics, and cannot stand manga. I love cartoons, and avoid anime. There is nothing wrong with them, I just don't like it. The art style looks all the same to me, and anime feels cloned. Pantheon, invincible, Ark, hazbin Hotel, boondocks, tron, primal, infinity train, all look unique and good to me. Something about my brain just sees the same thing in every anime show.
Yeah, I don't get it. So I guess I don't really like it, but am I missing something?
Not really. I find horror movies boring because the characters always do dumb shit to get in trouble.
If you don't like something, you don't miss anything.
The only animes I watched till the end are Full Metal Alchemist and Shaman King, because they have a good length.
I liked JoJo Bizzare Adventures at first, but it got long and boring after a season and a half.
I tried to watch a lot of popular anime, but I can't stand fillers, which 99% of anime have.
I think the art is usually great, incredible, even, but the stories often seem extremely melodramatic, often along the same themes, and while tons of people love that, it’s not my cup of tea.
There are a few I’ve liked because the story appealed to me and, yes, I do like a melodramatic, highly thematic, genre story if all the elements are in a good balance, but not all the time, and with the intensity that often accompanies manga and anime. For me, my main objective when engaging with fiction nowadays is to relax, not to seriously engage as much as I used to unless it’s a piece or topic of particular interest— and, for me, manga/anime and my “particular interests” intersect less and less often.
But this is MY opinion. Objectively speaking, anime and manga are exquisite art forms that, as a designer and artist myself, I highly respect and support. They tell rich and engaging stories with compelling plots and characters. I consider them both as valid an art form and media as any other and they both have as unique a cultural signature for Japan and other Asian countries as does and mainstream media format of “The West”, while maintaining that cultural identity even while the art/media form becomes globalized. Which is an impressive feat that speaks to the - again (I hate repeating myself) - unique nature of the form, both as graphic art and as a medium for animation and storytelling.
There’s just really nothing quite like it.
some romance/slice of life ill indulge in when im feeling down, and also one punch man is great bc it totally makes fun of all the intolerable action anime (e.g. my hero academia aka the most annoying thing ive every watched)
I mean I get it tbh. I enjoy both media (tend to avoid shonen) but some of the common tropes can be a turn off. Some of my friends (lovely people) are hardcore fans and as much as I love those people, I can only tolerate so much of "have you seen crunchyroll has this new show? It's called "I was a high-school tuba player but I woke up in a video game now I travel the dungeon with my magical talking dog" and it's about...." before I steer the conversation away
Pretty short name for a generic anime. /s
Does anybody dislike anime and manga?
No, everybody in the world likes anime and manga. Or they're indifferent to it at worst.
I love cartoons. Can't stand comics, manga and anime. And this is someone who watched DBZ growing up and never getting into despite all my friends loving it. I'm an avid reader and shows like gravity falls are some of my favourites!
Probably a few, yeah.
If the story and characters.are good, acted well, and animated well, I like it. If on top of that it's anime, makes no difference.
I don't like comic books; there's my take on manga.
Used to love anime but now that I'm older I dislike it. Still love reading manga, just hate the high pitch annoying ass voice for every female character. A few anime's don't do it and those ones I still love
I'm an artist and I used to draw a lot as a kid. I naturally adore the medium, but most anime is weeb/otaku fanfare and I find obnoxious. I keep a look out for the gems that occasionally come around.
The only anime I think is good is studio ghibli, ghost in the shell, cowboy bebop, and similar. That’s top notch. Other stuff that like super giggly is uninteresting. Manga reminds me to stop browsing /all and go back to /home.
Never read manga, watched some anime. I don't care for the art style, at all.
Yes I despise it, I hate the influence it's had on making everything over sexualized and cliched
Nope. Just the over-indulging fans.
I don't identify myself as an Otaku and I'm not going to.
I don't like black & white comics of any variety. I have terrible trying what the hell I'm looking at without color to break up stuff, especially crowded panels.
I'd say I'm just uninterested, not dislike. The part I hate is when I see people dedicate their whole life into them and fail to function as a normal human.
Vtubers on the other hand, I absolutely despise. They are basically YouTubers/streamers with an anime character and get much more views for no reason. I guess that's free market for ya
Most of it because it's never ending. 1000 episodes? Fuck me that's just an animated soap opera.
Tell your story and fuck off.
I dislike it, because I am not 12.
