What are your opinions on anime?

1. Same as on any genre of media: some of it’s great, some is good, some is shite.

2. anime is an extremely broad genre. personally, i quite like many types of anime (shounen, josei, seinen, shoujo) but it can be difficult to find any anime without overt or subtle misogyny. i started watching it young and the prevalence of unrealistic female body types seriously affected me in a negative way. nowadays if i watch anime i am quite picky and i don’t watch the shows that treat their female characters like sexual objects (which is many popular shounen)

3. I think it’s ok but I never finish it though I haven’t seen much. Stopped Neon Genesis Evangelion one episode from the end, never finished Samurai Champloo, the Ghost In The Shell series, Paranoia Agent, Serial Experiments Lain or Cowboy Bebop.

4. It’s never been something I’ve cared about or cared to look into more. I don’t love the typical art style.

5. I like a lot of different ones.

6. Not for me.

7. I’m of an older generation and I just don’t understand it. More power to those that enjoy anime, but it confuses me and I’m not interested in it.

8. Lots of fun! There are a bunch of series that I’ve enjoyed. 😁

9. Personally hate it and can’t relate to anyone that watches it. Don’t understand the hype

10. It’s far too broad of a genre to answer that simply. There are some amazing works and some awful ones. It’s simply a style of making media, so it’s like asking what my opinions are on live action shows/movies or still life paintings. The method used to create the work is less important to me than the individual work and what it conveys.
