It took me a week to read all the post. Wish I followed this sooner.
Things I hate everyone else loves:
-nutella and chocolate hazelnut spreads
-this trend in food that is excessive, were all they do is make the portions bigger, there is this place in SoHo called Black Tap that just dumps every sweet thing in existance together for a "milkshake"
-Minions from Despicable Me, I have to supress my rage whenever I see a minion post on facebook or minion merchandise
-mainstream music
-console gaming, sorry I'm part of the glorious PC gaming master race, hard to discuss gaming outside of multiplats
-mainstream multiplat games, I could care less about Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, or whatever overhyped AAA game is coming out, my taste is for games that aren't milked to death or generic
-Voxel art style games, when I see them all I see is desperate attempt to cash in on Minecraft's fame
-Most fads
Speaking of 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.
Depends on the anime and some of that stuff applies to Western cartoons as well. I hate the art styles for some Western cartoons as they look to "realistic", gross, weird or lazy.

The proportionately large eyes of Anime characters always freaks me out. (Not just Anime, the bug eyed Powder Puff Girls fall into this too) That and the sheer expressiveness of them can come off as jarring, especially because I have trouble reading the intent behind faces. So a very expressive character, when emoting, comes off as deep Uncanny Valley. And some Animes can get way too fanservicy for my tastes.
I can understand some that the big eyes do seem a bit disturbing for some. Not all anime characters have big eyes though in some the art style looks like it was made by a Western person and in some animes some characters have big eyes while others don't.
So I'm address some of the issues both you guys have with anime by pointing out ones that don't do those things like big eyes or stereotypical/racist drawings of other races/ethnicities
Fist of The North Star
Trigun
Berserk
Space Dandy (well at least with human/human-like characters)
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (if you look at the manga it could pass for a western comic with its art style)
Cowboy Bebop
Cyborg 009 definitely does not look like a typical anime
Eureka Seven
One Piece, if anything the characters got big mouths
Full Metal Alchemist
Michiko and Hatchin
One Punch Man (Tatsumaki is pretty much the only character with big eyes and small mouth)
Hunter X Hunter (to be far some characters do have big eyes but not really ridiculous)
Naruto
Bleach (there are only like 2 big eye characters)
Soul Eater
Parasyte
Hellsing
