    I hate it when anime characters get angry so they wave their arms and they have X's in their eyes

    Now that being said, what do you hate when you watch anime?

    The only thing I don't like is how pricey some of the stuff can be. Paying 30 bucks for 3-4 episodes is not something I like doing. It's gotten better in recent times, but some stuff is damn pricey.

    I'm beginning to hate the expedient releases of anime that I like...with the exception of Kare Kano and FLCL, as I'm in the midst of collecting those. But RahXephon, THAT's out, so is Ai Yori Aoshi, Noir, Banner of the Stars, Fruits Basket, Mahoromatic, etc. I can't keep up because of how much they cost (going back to Neph's statment) and because I can't go to the anime place all that much, even though it's right across the street from my college. Slow down a little, will you guys!?

    What a suck.

    That and dubbing. I USUALLY don't like those.

    I really hate the whole price thing.I get virtually NO money,and I just can't keep up with these exspensive DVDs.Best Buy is a good place to go,though.They sell them for about half as much as other stores.That,plus I don't like it when an anime is translated into english,and they change things.Like replacing Japanese customs with American ones,fearing that audiences will feel alienated and stop watching.It just makes you feel like you're being cheated.

    Yeah.
    Price.

    And hentai (kinda). It give anime a bad name.
    And anime which is boring. I saw one about war. It was all talking. ****.
    And I also hate it when voice actors cant act for ****.
    And when it is in jap, and there are subtitles.
    I hate subs.

    The worse thing about anime is that it inspires real-life movies or series to adopt a similar style in their production. While the special effects and dramatic body language in anime is riveting, it looks like an unmitigated disaster in the many Japanese, Chinese, Hong Kong or Taiwan films that I've watched recently.

    It's reputauion, If I even say 'anime' anywhere exept around friends, everyone screams POKEMON at me. It's really sad, and I draw ALOT and in school, them ppl, say, why do you draw pokemon? And It's not! It really drives my to frustration.

    Yeah,I know about the whole reputation thing.I'm into serious,more adult oriented anime.So when I draw in school,
    people are all,"Hey,man.Why do you draw those Pokemon things."It gets really annoying.

    Lack of availabilty in this country. I already have almost everything that's for sale. Helpful it's not. Far too expensive too.
    Bad dubs and editing annoy the feck out of me also.
    Too much saabisu is also a problem. And those annothing CN people who think anime is meant to be dubbed. Fskin bey blade.

    Well, it's not so bad here in the US, anymore. Since so much anime is being commercialized, people "know" what anime is. Well, not really. But, since so many have now heard of and seen a bit of Cowboy Bebop, it's good to know that some of the droning masses know what I say when I say, "Yeah, have you seen the 24th episode of Bebop? That was awesome."

    They still kinda get flown overhead when I mention Ranma and a few SHOULD be notable others though.

    And now, when people think anime="hentai", I just generally laugh it off and ask them if they want to see my collection. Of anime, not hentai, you dweebs. :D

    Yes, anime has gotten commercialized in the U.S.... but I don't find it that great, really...

    I know some people who are supposed "anime-freaks" and go around flaunting their Tokyopop mangas and everything (oh, look! It's right to left, it MUST be the original Japanese!)... yeah, that's nice, they like anime, but ****, they act like they're "oh-so-cool" about it or something... at least, that's the people I know... -.-;; This girl made a big deal that some guy knew about Cowboy Bebop. :rolleyes: It's on ****ing TV. Everybody knows about it. (even though it's dubbed... :()

    And yes, the people that label anime as "that Pokemon/DBZ ****" are annoying as hell, too...

    I TOTALLY agree with you on that. That annoys the hell out of me too. :mad:

    There's no winning in this.... :dizzy2:

    i agree wif that Pokemon thinking thing.
    **** u pokemon. give us TRUE-anime lovers a bad name.
    if i draw anime, i usually try to draw somthing like Burn Up W. thenm they can go "UGhhh. POKE.... wait a second... there aint no pink girl in tights in pokemon..."
    or i past print out wallpapers or, like, evangelion, and paste it all over my books, folders, and stuff like that. and they can go "ughgg... cartoons" all they like, but its wat i like and go **** yourself if u think u have the right to tell me wat to like, and wat not to like.

    back to the original point - i believe the price issue has been mentioned already. in the UK its a lot worse to boot. maybe it costs me 15 quid (yes thats a funny term we brits use for "pounds") for 1 DVD, which is about 25 bucks. gyah thats a lotta money for a spendthrift munchkin like me :p

    i dont buy many animes as such anymore, i find the mangas a lot more enjoyable. reading them is always better.

    ... now what was this discussion on Pokemon...
