Okay, I made this list a while back, but I never got around to posting it. At that time, it seemed like tons of people on this site were bashing 아니메 dubbed "mainstream" 의해 the fanbase. This in itself didn't bother me, but the reasons some people gave for hating the shows they did...irked me, to say the least.
So, though it seems there isn't as much of this going on anymore, I decided to post it anyhow, just so people can read and consider my opinion. So, let me quickly state my stance on this issue, in a nutshell:
You can bash on any 아니메 당신 want, all 당신 want. 인기 또는 not, I don't care. 당신 just have to have a VALID FUCKING REASON.
...Sorry about the language, for those who care. Anyhow, that's how I feel, and this is a brief list of items that I believe aren't valid reasons to hate an anime.
1. It's popular.
It's a sucessful anime, therefore I hate it.
...Lolwutbro? Jealous 당신 can't get as much merch from your 가장 좋아하는 virtually unknown 아니메 with the sixteen-word-long Japanese title? Hating a show simply because other people like it is unreasonable.
2. Anything that's that 인기 must be really stupid.
Again, what? Has it ever occured to 당신 that 당신 aren't the only intelligent person in the world, and that the show might actually be as 인기 as it is because it's good? I dunno, just throwing that out there.
3. Its fanbase is composed entirely of morons.
First off, I think this is an exaggeration not matter what 아니메 we're talking about here. However, even changing "entirely" to "mostly" doesn't make this a good reason in my eyes. There are morons in every fanbase. There's just a larger amount of morons that 사랑 the 더 많이 인기 아니메 because there's a larger amount of 팬 in general. Ratios, people! Oh, and while we're on the subject, please spare me a rant and don't EVER say "All *insert name of a 인기 anime* 팬 are stupid." Huge generalization, and it couldn't be 더 많이 wrong.
4. It has too many episodes.
'Kay, I admit a lot of episodes can cause an 아니메 to start getting a little lame once the good parts of the plot dry up. However, that's not always the case, so it's not really a valid reason to hate an anime, unless you've seen the newer episodes and enough of the older ones to make a real comparison. Besides, I never seem to hear people saying, say "Hitman Reborn (203 episodes), Prince of 테니스 (178 episodes), and Detective Conan (634 and counting) all have too many episodes!" 팬 of these shows would most likely say that it's because they all have a great storyline until the very end (doesn't apply to DC; as it is ongoing), which may very well be true, but can 당신 really deny that any one of them would get 더 많이 heat for their episode count if they suddenly became hugely popular?
5. Non-anime 팬 base their opinions of 아니메 in general on the 인기 ones alone.
Their problem. Not every 아니메 that airs on Adult Swim necessarily fits the definition of "mainstream." In fact, some of them aren't that 인기 at all, and are also very good. Many not-so-popular 아니메 are almost as easy to access as Bleach 또는 Naruto, so it's not the fault of well-known 아니메 that some people think all 아니메 is just a bunch of fight scenes. First of all, that's a closed-minded way to look at Bleach 또는 나루토 specifically. Secondly, that's an extremely closed-minded opinion of 아니메 in general. So don't blame certain anime, just blame the narrow-mindedness of many non-anime fans.
So, there 당신 have it. To emphasize what I stated earlier, I'm not saying that if 당신 hate a 인기 anime, 당신 suck. I'm saying, if you're going to openly declare your hatred for a 인기 anime, 또는 any 아니메 for that matter, make sure 당신 have a valid reason. Thank 당신 for taking the time to read this!
Oh, and feel free to comment; I want to know your opinion!
