I just dislike it in general. My friend showed me a video of this dragon maid or something's theme tune (which was upbeat k-pop ew) and I wanted to play dead like a dog so it would be over sooner.
k-pop is korean pop
anime
is japanese
j-pop?

ffshhhh the zero escape series/999 is really good and a lot less ~animu~ than I expected it to be, you should definitely consider playing it
I grew up watching anime with my older sisters so I've kind of become desensitized to the cutesy art style/tropes/excessive melodramatics that so many people find off-putting. I mean sure they can come off as silly and a bit annoying sometimes, but it doesn't bother me as much if the show has a good story and good animation?
I feel like western shows are a lot more fast paced and focus on the fluidity/expressiveness of the animation, the humor and the human-ness of the characters, whilst japanese shows focus more on the realism of the animation (like idk how to explain it... it feels more subtle and human??), and emphasizing characters' thoughts/feelings+the stakes, for the dramatic effect/emotional impact. ofc there's a lot of trash in both, but investing enough time and attention in any good show, western or japanese, is always rewarding
Maybe there's a subcategory of anime that I would like! I think I saw a bit of FLCL once, and thought 'oh this is neat.' I won't touch anything with eyes like this though:

One step at a time
I only really enjoyed one - maybe two anime series? I used to really like death note in 8th grade (cough my username)
There was another thing i watched, which was kiiind of anime? It was more of an anime parody on youtube, an abridged version of an anime i never actually watched. A friend of mine wanted me to watch it, and I did find it pretty funny, though I still don't see the appeal to most animes.
If you have a Netflix account, I recommend you look into Ouran High School Host Club. It is an anime, but it's also a parody of shoujo anime/manga and makes fun of all the popular tropes used in the genre. It's really funny.
It's one of the few anime that I can actually stand to watch.
I like some anime, but I don't go hardcore crazy over it. It can get kind of repetitive as well. Pretty much ninety percent of anime that I've watched has these things in common:
-winning battles through the power of love and friendship
-some sort of bath scene
-lady with a large bust
-parental death/absence
This is interesting because Animal Crossing has an anime style to it.
In fact, any kind of Japanese cartoon is anime.
Is that true? I always thought that anime was a seperate thing from other Japanese cartoons.
