Why I hate anime:
Huge eyes with unrealistic colors
Small pointy noses
No lips except on adult females
Unrealistic facial expressions
Humongous, ugly ears (not all the time)
Unrealistic hair and hair colors
Often racist or stereotypical drawings of other races
The characters all could be the same person almost because the facial characteristics are too similar
Sound effects which are overdone
The biggest thing is really that the characters all look the same. So boring.
I personally am not a huge fan of Japanese culture anyway. I like their videogames, I like their food, but that's it. I don't dislike the people, I just am not really into their modern culture. Everything has to be "cute". Sometimes I just get sick of cute. The cuteness is overpowering.
I know some weeaboos think that the Japanese can do no wrong, but I try to stay realistic and open-minded about what is both good and bad about any culture, as they all have flaws. I do agree with you about their food and games, though I do like
some of their anime. I actually love the unique hair colours and weird hair styles, but I completely agree with you that their appearances are all too homogenous, unless you look for unique drawing styles (there are a few).
This
image fits perfectly with your sentiment!
That's a pretty funny example. I don't know everything about Japanese anime, obviously, but I'm sure there are some I would probably enjoy. I don't personally judge anyone that does like it, to each his own.
