I don’t care for any of it. I don’t like comic books and I don’t like Star Wars either.

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.

Wtf is this question?

Those are pretty broad categories. It's like asking "Does anybody dislike cartoons and comics?"

Every time I get downvoted for pointing out the rampant and casual pedophilia plaguing anime, I hate weebs a little bit more.

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.

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.

No, but I like retro anime a lot more than modern anime.

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.

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)

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 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 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.

No I love it. Frieren is so good (´°ω°`)

I like manga, but I dislike some anime. The voices they use for some of the characters are super annoying to me.

I haven't really tried a lot. Bits and pieces look interesting but overall it doesn't appeal 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.

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 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!

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.

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

Probably a few, yeah.

Yeah, I don't get it. So I guess I don't really like it, but am I missing something?

Does anybody dislike anime and manga?

No, everybody in the world likes anime and manga. Or they're indifferent to it at worst.

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.

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
