Ok, I'm mostly making this post because I feel like I'm one of the few on this forum who isn't into anime, and I want to see if anyone else feels this way. Like, I'm not into it at all. Not anime, not manga, and, with a few rare exceptions, not anime-influenced video games. In fact, I feel an *aversion* to it, and it's stopped me from getting even whole games (like RF4, the 999 series, FF, etc.).
I don't know what it is, but I think it mostly has to do with the art style and the overabundance of tropes/cutesyness. Don't get me wrong, I know there's some pretty nasty/adult/murdery ones out there, but even those feel a little bit... teenage? In contrast to anime, I love all of Studio Ghibli's films. I had a thing for Inuyasha and Cardcaptors when I was younger, and they do conjure up some nostalgia for me, but that's about it.
Please don't kill me, I know (judging from your avatars/signatures) that a lot of TBTers do like anime/manga. I'm just curious what you like about it (especially if you have continued to like it for a long time), and, if you don't like it, why?
