Reasons the List "Why Anime Sucks" Is Wrong

The Top Ten
1 The Animation

Yay! There is a fight for anime. I am so happy as I'm a total fan of anime. Not only me but I guess majority of people I've met always at least have watched dragon ball z or death note. The best which I think is black butler, death note, ourun high school host club, ghost hunt, another, one piece and naruto. How can people not like anime? Where as, people like me are in love with the anime as well as the characters. The animations show very nice plots and stories. Also, how can the animation be bad when the animators are showing all feelings of the characters. I think it's professional work.

Not really. The animation is drawn at 6 frames per second which is limited animation. The lowest amount of frames today's American cartoons are at are 12 frames by Hanna-Barbera and they still turning out really good animation most of the time. Anime lacks keyframes which is pictures that every animation is made of. In anime you can see the character's mouth clapping. Western animation works hard to give us really good fluid animation and it gives us that most of the time but gets overshadowed by the overrated anime and its overrated animation.

There's no energy and bright colors in anime. You really just the characters stand there and talk or move and talk and then you look at the background. There's no energy in that. Nothing's moving face paced. There's no big climax. Even during the fights there's less energy then there needs to be. That's what makes good animation. Fun and bouncy animation with bright colors, tons of energy with characters that are always on model. You don't need the animation to be detailed for it to be really good.

Just because anime has emotion or seems to be more detailed, doesn't mean it's better. The so called anime artists pay more attention to drawing the background than the actual characters except if it's a naked woman.

2 Unoriginal

I can never understand why anyone would think that anime is very original.

I say Bull S/, Anime is very original unlike cartoons that are basically based off other ideas.

How is Pokemon, Goku, attack on Titan, etc, unoriginal?

They are all the same thing

3 Repetition

You think anime is repetitive? Look at American cartoons such as Phineas and Ferb. That is one of the, if not, most repetitive American cartoon in the cartoon industry, yet children and adults still love the show for no practical reason. I have seen anime not repetitive such as Sword Art Online, Attack on Titan, Blue Exorcist, and Gurren Lagann. When compared to cartoons, anime is way less repetitive than cartoons.

Yes, there are lots of animes out there that share the same formula, and yes, they can be repetitive! But so can anything else, books, western cartoons, all of it! Saying anime alone is repetitive and trashy is wrong, I suggest you go watch something like Attack On Titan, then go and watch Tokyo Ghoul, both are shonens (mangas/animes targeting a male demographic aged 11-19) but have COMPLETELY different plots and characters. They are far from the same..

While some are a bit, there are an INCREDIBLE amount of original and fresh animes out there.

Thank you everyone for pointing out what people who only watched 2 episodes of Attack on Titan don't seem to get

4 No personality

Hah yea right they don't have any personalities. The only ones that do are the characters from the original teen titans and avatar the last airbender but they were just American cartoons with the anime style.

Yeah sure. Characters in anime don't have any personality. Believe what you want. Have your opinions. But know I hate your opinion

Cartoon characters have a lot more personality and nice isn't personality, neither is being a jerk

That Mrcoolface is an idiot Anime characters have real personality's that's more than I can say about cartoons

5 Theme songs

No it's just lazy because it's the just the first season theme song. But then again animes are lazily made anyway. It's a shock how it has so much fans. Oh yea right because it's overrated

Lazy?! Think about it. Have you ever tried to draw anime/manga. It's actually pretty hard. Call it lazy if you want.
But theme songs are often creative and people enjoy them.

Most of the theme songs for anime ARE EPIC
Pokémon XY for example.

6 Boring

Look at Shingeki no Kyojin. Fullmetal Alchemist. Sword Art Online. Go look at ANY action anime.

(cough) Death Note. (Cough) Attack on Titan. Sorry bad cough there.

Sir what are you watching cause I'm pretty sure your basing this off of Pokemon, digimon, bakugan, Beyblade or some other bull like that

To bad the fight scenes are just the characters standing in place with the background moving while they scream. Then you cut to them and the bad guy or good guy is defeated. Also just because you find them to never be boring doesn't mean they aren't

7 Fanboys

Egonomic you are pathetic. Telling mrcoolface to drop it? You were the person who started it. When mrcoolface made that list, you and some other people came in and blew everything out of proportion. Then later on, you put mrcoolfaces list on your lists that should be removed. So now you're telling mrcoolface to just let everything go. By the way, I don't think that he is ever going to change his opinion.

How is a list of someone's thoughts and feelings of anime killing your fan base. Just because something has a big fan base doesn't mean it's good. Like the anime fan base.

Just because every anime has some rude fans (Especially for rapid fans and weeaboos), doesn't mean it's a bad anime.
Judge the anime itself, and not the fandoms itself.

Seriously though why just fanboys. I'm an anime girl and I respect most opinions but please,please PLEASE stop hating on anyone who enjoys SAO or Fairy Tail.

8 Anime haters are idiots

I wouldn't say idiots, I'd just say narrow minded. I personally think that saying that you hate anime is like saying you hate western animation. The topics are so broad that I can't see how people could hate every single anime, or cartoon for that matter

How are they idiots? Because of an opinion? This is exactly why I hate anime. The fans don't respect opinions.

Anime fans and haters are idiots for not respecting other people's opinions.

I don't think they are idiots just they have the unpopular opinion

9 Bad writing

Ok if you hate anime so much than why are even bothering to comment on these lists? Sure they attacked you but if you do it back to them it will keep going and won't stop. I suggest you mrcoolface or yakkoweirdo just forget about it and stop being a pathetic hater. It makes you hypocrites if you say you hate anime fans for threatening you yet you attack them.

It really isn't well written and I don't think that that was an excuse. It is more like a reason. A better reason there yours to say why the reasons why anime sucks list is wrong

Pokemon doesn't have that bad of a storyline, actually. Teen Titans Go! is way worse. An episode about how looks are the only thing that matter? No sign of that in Pokemon!

There are some anime with bad writing. However, there are tons with amazing writing. Whoever made the list has only seen Pokemon.

10 Anime fans

Something being overratred doesn't mean how many people watch it. If tons of people watched Pokemon and that was it it wouldn't be overrated. But because of the fans constantly saying it's the best show ever and you have no taste if you don't like it and it's the best thing in the world then it's overrated. People talk about Japanese Anime like this. They keep saying no matter what Japanese anime will always be better if though that's their opinions but they force it down like it has to be a fact. The only time for American cartoons is if we are defending it or talking about the good and bad of the cartoon. It's rarely a time when you will see a cartoon fan saying it's the best thing in the world or you must like this or you have no taste. just because millions of people watch cartoons doesn't make it overrated. But even if it did a million more people still watch anime so that would make Japanese anime more overrated. Talking about something in an opinionated way makes it overrated. ...more

Mrcoolface's list of Reasons Why Anime Sucks is reason to kick him off the Top Ten's or at least banned from all top ten's lists containing anime and I admit cartoon we great in its heyday but that was then and this is now too many people today don't really care much for cartoon anymore.

So because you don't care about the cartoons now, that apprently means that no one else does either. How about you look at cartoons like The Amazing World Of Gumball or Gravity Falls or Wonder Over Yonder or Adventure Time. (to name a few)

Let's not stereotype ALL fans, I once told an anime fan that I don't like anime and he was pretty cool about it, he says he doesn't like the inappropriate ones. But about 2% of fans act civil.

The Contenders
11 Awful designs

No with cartoons you get interesting unique designs were every character looks different. Garfield, Tom, and Gumball Watterson are all cats but none look the same. Scooby Doo, Goofy, and Barnyard Dawg are dogs but they don't look the same at all. Dr Strachensniff, Dipper Pines, and Grouchy from the seven dwarfs are all human characters but none of them look the same. If f you took the hair and clothes of most of the American cartoon chracters you would get different designs

All of the characters look the same. If you take over the hat and hair you see the same face and head. Without the clothes the bodies look the same. There is barely anything different about the designs for anime

Your just saying that because your an anime fan boy who can't handle any criticism on the thing you love the most. GET A LIFE!

If you have seen the artwork, ever artist is different, and you can TELL.

12 Naruto

That's the only thing I'll agree with

I love how Naruto is in this x3

I have watched some episodes of both Naruto and Naruto Shippiden and I think it's a decent show. Not the best but definitely enjoyable!

Naruto is the best! It is best anime. Why is it here?

13 Troll bait

I love this list

14 Biased
15 Stereotyping
16 People love SpongeBob
17 Overrated is number one
