Anime good or bad?

What do you think of anime?

It's just a medium and a moniker. The shows have the same ratio of bad to good as any other medium (though anime is sooooo over-saturated with light novel adaptations rn).
 
It's the same as Western animation, live action TV shows or movies in terms of quality.


It's not good or bad simply because it's an anime, though about 90% of it is trash with the few gems in between...Just like everything else.
 
I really like anime as an art style, but most anime shows are trash, theres some good ones
 
I'm a fan of anime myself, and would consider myself an avid watcher but... Honestly the question is too broad. I love anime. But there are also some terrible anime out there too. Not to mention most anime now just exist to cater to the fans, thus the increase in fanservice and... Lolicons... -shudders-. But, then on the plus side, you have some really moving and emotional stories told through anime, that have made me laugh and cry, left me on the edge of my seat, and really touched me. Some anime are more lighthearted and silly, so they're fun to watch and leave you feeling happy, but then there are others that crush your heart into a million pieces, and then there are others that just blow your mind (eg: Steins;Gate). But, like I said, there are also the ****ty anime. So once again, it's hard to put a label over all of anime. Some of it's good! Some of it's bad. And it goes the same with practically everything else. "Books: good or bad?" Well, I dunno. Depends on what you enjoy. Depends on what book you read. :rolleyes:
 
Whatever Anime is or isn't, it's better than any american cartoons.

Honestly, the definition for cartoons in america should be changed to eye cancer.

There's good anime and there's bad anime imo..
I really enjoyed Cowboy Bebop. Lmao
 
I extremely dislike anime.

The only anime I ever liked was the Animal Crossing movie. (duh)

Remember Brian puking at the thought of a trans woman?

And how Seth MacFarlane said he thought the trans community would be proud of that episode?

god this poll doesnt really make much sense. anime is so vast. its like saying "live-action shows, good or bad?"

anyways, theres some really great anime out there and it kinda sucks that some people r generalizing all anime to be horrible w/a bunch of fan-service and what not. which is definitely not the case
there is some freaky and just plain out disturbing anime too, but that could be true w/any general catagory of entertainment :///
