I’ve seen all of it. It’s all objectively bad.
Are you joking, or did you just not enjoy them because of overhype or cultural differences?
I too have seen all of them. I didn’t enjoy them, but not because they were overhyped or cultural differences. As a matter of fact, I wish American culture was more like Japanese culture as I wish it was socially acceptable to watch cartoon schoolgirls get molested by tentacles. I also like stuff that is overhyped because I like to be a contrarian to contrarians. So that wasn’t the problem.
No, I just didn’t think it was clear enough when anime characters were expressing emotions. I found the whole thing far too subtle and found it difficult to understand character motivations. It needed more ridiculously exaggerated character animation and more characters screaming things obnoxiously that no human would ever say. Plus, the acting wasn’t nearly bad enough for my tastes.
The heck did I just read?
I’ve said it before and I’ll sat it again; how does anyone even manage to generalise an entire country’s animation as one thing? Sure, there’s a lot of trash in anime, as it is with any film/TV industry, but some of it’s pretty good, occasionally even brilliant (as it is with any film/TV industry).
