Yes, hard to believe, but some people hates "anime"... Why? I will tell you right now.
First of all, the term "anime" is complete bullshit. Animation in japanese -"anime". So other animation isn't anime??? You say: "it's not a cartoon, it's "anime"", normal human being doesn't care from which country liked piece of art came from. I for example like "Golden boy", but instead of a word "anime", I will call it "animated series". And if I want to imply that it came from Japan, I will say "japanese animated series".
Secondly it became huge pop art. 90 percent of deviantart drawings are drew in the style of "anime". It becomes lame then. There are 1000 of other drawing with the same style let alone with the same theme. It looks cute, but whatever... It is the hell of a trend.
Thirdly, there are too much japanese animation which is the same thing(the same plot) with different characters... Even styles of drawing difference is hard to see, then it's easy to make false stereotypes like "anime it is just blood and violence".
It often looks like the most of them fears to go out of a pop frame. Cheapness also take part in this. American cheap animation style is more poor, but it has still big variety of facial expressions. I personally hate when in "anime" they draw a drop of water on the head to show emotion("Golden boy" didn't had that problem, thank god). Look at this and see how facial expressions improves everything. Of course it had a huge budget, but faces are priceless.

And the last reason, is retarded fans, who sometimes play "dress up", not even for a "cosplay" event, just to take pictures and look like a some sort of a retard. Sorry man, but you don't look cool, not many will understand it(and if it's understandable). I remember when I was six year old shmuck. I played a lot pretending to be spider-man. Many people will think that you are sickly childish. Instead, create your own characters to "cosplay", then you could say: "my hobby is clothing design" and it will look nothing like a child's play. Maybe you will look cool, I don't know, it depends on your imagination and creativity.
And remember kids, think for yourself. With great power, comes great responsibility.
