Top Ten Reasons Why Anime Sucks

It’s a well-known objective fact that anime sucks, everyone knows this. Even my friends who watch anime dislike most of them. But they are wrong; it’s incorrect to like any anime because every single anime is awful. Here are ten reasons why

644450_1

  1. The Anime Industry Sucks

Something is deeply wrong and messed up with the anime industry. Animators and staff are seriously underpaid and work overtime for free. It’s a horrible truth that anime fans hate to admit but it doesn’t make anime inherently bad. After all, treatment of staff has no overall effect on the episode quality. It’s the fact that anime companies can’t make the money to pay their own staff.

If I take statistics from my anime list (a website which tracks how much anime you’ve seen) there are at least 1,200,000 viewers of anime (and probably many more since most anime fans don’t use My anime list and not everyone has seen the most popular anime) and not a single one is prepared to pay for it. Surely if anime fans cared about anime enough they would actually buy it to pay their staff. But no, anime is so bad that the fans are prepared to steal and pirate just because they don’t think it’s worth buying.

Anime’s fundamental floor is a failure to make people care about it, and that’s why it’s dying and that’s why it sucks. Nobody cares enough to buy it.

  1. Hayao Miyazaki

Hayao Miyazaki is the only anime staff member with even a little sense because he knows it sucks as well: “Anime was a mistake.” Just put yourself in Miyazaki’s shoes. You just created anime yesterday, are you happy with yourself? The answer is no. Hayao Miyazaki has the sense to look on his monstrous creation with scorn and sadness.

If the creator of anime hates anime and regrets making it then you know there’s something seriously wrong.

  1. The Fan Base

retarded-fangirl-sasuke-is-my-waifu

All anime fans are called weaboos, and they suck. They’re Naruto running, kawai saying morons who don’t know how to take a joke. Watching a weaboo trying to function in society is like watching a baby trying to walk across the room. No matter how far it gets it will inevitably fall over, shit itself and go back to sleep. They also get triggered seriously easily. I know that a baby isn’t an “it” but I used “It” because it’s gender neutral not because I don’t think babies have genders! I literally just read every anime fan’s mind and wrote down a response to it, that’s how predictable these guys are!

But the fan base can’t degrade the quality of anime. Or can it? Since anime studios want to actually make money they appeal to these disgusting pigs and degrade their quality by trying to appeal to them. Therefore lowering the quality of anime making it suck.

  1. Its racist

All anime fans are racist because they watch anime, which is racist. Ever seen a black guy in an anime? I didn’t think so. Theirs most likely a few exceptions however theirs never an all-black cast, a black main character or even an anime fan who cares.

If you support anime you also support racism. And racism sucks. Where’s the representation?

  1. Its Misogynistic

This is so obvious that I shouldn’t even need to explain. 99% of anime has just male protagonists because anime creators don’t believe that a woman is capable of solving problems or leading their own adventure. Instead women in anime are treated as objects specifically to advance plot or facilitate fan service and no female character is safe from this awful misogyny (more on that later).

All anime that isn’t ecchi wants to be ecchi, displaying all fan service it could possibly get away with before losing its children’s rating. As well as this, all anime that’s ecchi wants to be hentai, you can’t deny it. The scenes of ecchi are like what you’d expect from anime porn except for the fact that some parts are censored.

Weaboos who admit to watching hentai are the weebs I respect the most. They can at least admit that all they want to see is 2d naked women.

  1. Little Girls are Not Safe in Anime

bb41c4df9b3560ff448110ded9afba7c

This negative treatment towards women is also brought upon little girls who receive the same treatment as the rest of the female characters. Anime doesn’t understand what the age of consent is and seem perfectly fine to throw paedophilic fan service at any place possible. It’s disgusting as not only is it little children; it also encourages paedophilia which I’m not ok with.

  1. Its anti-christian

Whether you’re a Christian or not it’s hard to deny that the fundamental part of Christianity besides god is love (and not lust), so as to not exclude other religions and atheists I will be talking about the loving side of Christianity and not god since I believe everyone should have love (“Love thy neighbour” and that kind of thing) but only have believing in God  as a choice. Let me quote a few bible verses.

“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things” (Philippians 4:8).

So judging by what I said earlier it’s easy to see why anime has a serious problem with Christianity. But let me bring up the quote “whatever is true” since anime is fake and not real. So because every anime shoves fan service and sex down your throat in an insincere and fake way anime is not acceptable in Christianity since anime characters are not “true” and lust is a sin on its own anyway.

  1. Anime Is Not Real

The question “what is anime?” isn’t a question you can simply look up, everyone has their own personal opinion on what it is and nobody can define it. The reason why it’s difficult to define is that it’s not real.  The amount of arguments I see where people argue about whether a show is anime or not is mind-blowing and it shows a fundamental floor in what anime is.

Anime is not real, consensus anime is. The only thing that makes anime “anime” is other people’s belief that it is indeed anime. I find it hilarious that it’s more of a philosophical question than anything else!

  1. It condones Rape

pv2-3

You thought child porn cartoons was the worst thing to come out of anime? Well how about rape? Shows like “Netsuzou Trap” and “Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita” outright condone rape by including it without criticising it. I didn’t look at some obscure shows; these two are new and currently airing this season.

Even when the show doesn’t include rape it will essentially do borderline rape by including fan service of characters who don’t really want to be shown in a sexual manor.

  1. Kiss Anime Gave Me A Trojen Virus

All free anime websites take advantage of their viewers by including toxic malicious software on their website. Sure I got a virus (It’s gone now because I applied my “dealing with weebs” skills to the dealing with virus’s problem) but that’s not even the whole picture.

By simply clicking on the screen an ad will pop up and try to destroy your computer, that’s how I got mine. But another thing that these websites show are advertisements, the worst advertisements ever because they’re obviously scams. Let me read some adds out.

“This pill burns fat”

“How to get a million dollars in just one hour”

“Millionaires pay millions to try and hide this video”

These ads are obviously fake but the funny thing is that anime fans actually fall for these! It’s telling that the people defending anime are also the ones falling for these dumb ridiculous advertisements.

 

So there you go, there’s 10 reasons why anime sucks.  I could go into more reasons but quite frankly 10 reasons is enough to unquestioningly conclude that all anime sucks. You’re welcome. Also if you couldn’t tell already I’m having a break from blogging, see you if I get back!

  1. Anime is gay and freaks and homos like anime. it is simple like the twinks that like it. It sucks because it sucks. Japanese are wierdos and anime is another sign of this.

    1. As a straight black male who lives in japan. I enjoy anime / manga simply because it tends to have a vast entertainment value. Live action shows and movies rely on human actors and limitations in locations and story telling that anime / manga just bypasses and allows creators of stories to fully express that they wish to convey. Weather or not its about how corrupt and petty humanity can be or a weather its a heart warming tale of two people falling in love.

      Anime is not for every one this is true. Just like books are not for every one or even other artistic formats. But to say it sucks simply because you personally don’t like it only proves more how much it does not. Because it got you to post and to share your feelings like any good piece of art would.

      To put another point and and personal opinion out. So called gay people. Freaks and Homos(Kind of redundant this one isn’t it?) Are not simple people people. They are like anyone else on this planet. Complex and confusing. To call a fellow human being simple because you cant understand their complexity shows how wrong you are even by claiming something as such. Its on the level of looking at a white wall and calling it purple because you simply want it to be that.

      Now onto the original post line from here.

      10.) Anime / manga is like entertainment industry. They have its ups. its downs. It’s over played and under played plots and points. Weather you work for Amazon or all the way down to Wall-Mart you will have bad bosses and employees. How ever that does not many every single store treats their employees bad. or every boss is a monster. Some animation studio’s have contractual rights for their artists to only work 4 days a week with a set schedule of 5-6 hours in a rotation with other artists on the same project. How ever these are usually higher end studios. While lower end have employees that will work them self up to 15 hours a day on a project with maybe a day or two off a week. Not because the company demands it. Because they feel obligated. There are countless worker safe guards that prevent employee abuse and Japan is a company that takes that seriously. How ever they leave it to the employee to decide weather or not they wish to go that extra mile.

      9.) Hayao Miyazaki often speaks highly of anime and quite enjoys it. He has show distain for many popularized anime simply because they are recycled and nothing new as been brought to the table. But he has quite often showed a vast love of anime. Even to quote him : “Anime may depict fictional worlds, but I nonetheless believe that at its core it must have a certain realism. Even if the world depicted is a lie, the trick is to make it seem as real as possible.”

      8.) I am sorry… Fan base… have you seen Star Wars fans? Harry potter fans? Britney Spears fans? Every single fandom has its loud and out going members. Some even push it way past normal. (Twilight Fans) But to say simply because Anime fans do the same thing as a D&D or Star Wars fan they are some how weird creepy or otherwise insane… Well You need to diversify your knowledge of fan bases on everything.

      7.) Anime is… Racist… Again… Straight black man who lives in Japan… I have maybe see 2 other black people here in Japan who are citizens. White people again maybe 10 or 20 who are citizens… I mean i don’t expect a media format that is mostly made in asia to feature other races all that often. And quite frankly when they do they do it overly respectfully. So Racist is not the even remotely the first thought that comes to my mind.

      6.) Shoujo is something you need to look into. Also the fact that anime and Japanese media has more female lead characters of power and respect in their worlds then any other format on the planet should tell you something. Especially when a country like America coined the term “Sex sells” And rolls with it hard.

      5.) Age of consent is 16 in Japan. Hawaii its also 16. These ages are not applicable to fictional characters are media as no human being is harmed in the process of making it. Also most anime depicting younger characters are mostly geared towards younger female audiences because Japan has a very extensive sexual abuse system that teaches and informs starting in what the US would call grade school and persisting into the work force of adults. They also have the rational to teach people the difference between real and fake. Make believe and reality. Fact and Fiction.

      4.) Anti-christanisim… Hmm… Well I mean it is mostly made in Asia so I don’t see a problem here. They have many different views on religion and even have multiple types of it. Not to mention Christianity does not exactly have a good track record of having its followers be nice to and kind to each other or other people. So Egh. But to say its all anti-Christianism. egh, i can only think of a small hand full you can remotely say that about. But again its part of the stories plots and if I don’t like something personally I choose not the consume that media. You should try that some time.

      3.) There is genre of the rape sort yes. But I am pretty sure the live action rape fetish movies casting adults are getting more views because of the real people in it. Not to mention Rape fetish anime is a very very low margin of anime. The fact that it happens more often in real life then there are viewers of said content and lack of awareness in most countries is a much bigger problem then a couple fake people who don’t even look like a realistic human having such interactions. Personally not my taste. But I remember sitting in American history when there was a time that you can legally rape a woman long as she was your wife.

      2.) Yeah. Its not real no argument there. Neither is Harry Potter. Or Captain America. Or “Real House wives of what ever the flavor is this month” Its fictional. Make believe. Fake. Its made as entertainment to be watched, enjoyed, hated, and to be discussed.

      1.) sounds like you for got the basics of the internet is the same as sex. If you insert your self into a unknown with out proper protection you will have the highest possibility of leaving with a virus. Please practice safe sex and Safe browsing. Anti-Virus / Firewalls / Condoms / regular doctor check ups will save your computer and your life.

      Serious note though. Use a fire wall / anti-virus man. weather its a anime site. A Book fandom site. Or a porn site. Heck even a reputable news outlet. USE A FIRE WALL AND ANTI-VIRUS. Don’t blame other people because you decided to turn all of that off when it said “This site may contain a virus do you wish to continue ?”

      Now for my closing statement. Why subject your self to something you don’t like? I don’t like carrots. So I do not eat carrots. I do not going every where saying carrots suck and are not good. I simply don’t eat carrots. How ever I will also never say another person should not eat carrots or scream up and down that carrots are the bastardization of the vegetable world and say only cowards and white people eat carrots. I will simply go “No thank you. I am not fond of carrots. Would you please pass the broccoli”

      So I implore everyone to at least take what I have said with a sense of knowing. My ideas are not to be forced on you I just hope you respect the fact that I have read your comments and responded with my own. My personal belief is all art should be respected. Non shall be damned for enjoying it so long it does not hurt any living being. I also believe that if you don’t like it. Move on. There is no reason to argue and cry over it. It simply is something not for you. But do know as a human i may contradict my self. And will do so at times. So be safe out there. Remember that you have the free will and option to move on past the things you don’t like and seek out things you do. But just try to not be rude or damn others for liking what you don’t. Be kind to your neighbor and remember we are all human and all different.

      1. if you are the author then let me tell you something. about that representation thing, anime is made in japan so are most mangas. and japan does not have much black population. if I were to write a story I would be inspired by people I live with. this is not made in USA hence you cannot say anything about “representation” also if you don’t want ads then watch it the legal way.

  3. You have a lot of contradictions. You say anime is terrible but you watch and enjoy a lot of anime (https://mybrainiscompletelyempty.wordpress.com/2018/03/05/a-silent-voice-is-an-excellent-film/, https://mybrainiscompletelyempty.wordpress.com/2020/03/31/kaguya-sama-love-is-war-something-special/, https://mybrainiscompletelyempty.wordpress.com/2018/07/31/what-i-watched-in-july-2018-recommendations-and-reviews-for-anime-and-manga/). Can you explain to me all these contradictions and whether or not you legitimately hate anime or not? You even called anime the worse thing created in this article (https://mybrainiscompletelyempty.wordpress.com/2018/04/01/top-ten-reasons-why-anime-sucks-comment-comeback/) Quoting from your own words “anime is the worst thing ever created”
