Hey not to knock what you enjoy I just really don't like Anime. I knew it from very young tuning into Saturday morning cartoons that I'd never like it. Then suddenly; BOOM, all my friends were obsessed with anime. I much prefer the more typical fantasy trope. Conan,Dungeons & Dragons, Everquest, Frank Frazetta, The Wheel of Time; examples that illustrate the kind of art/universes I identify with.
Beyond the art-style of anime I am turned off by the expressions and mannerisms of the characters (for the most part). So it runs a bit deeper than just visual presentation. I'm hard pressed to find anything I like about it! With the exception being anime creatures/monsters. Lots of those do look wicked cool.
Any others relate with this general aversion?
Now on the opposite end of the spectrum, I adore many Asian/foreign live action films. It's just the animes.
