For Those Anime Haters

There are too many people who hate anime that simply don't understand. I find rather irritating when people make fun of me for liking anime, so I'm going to tear down all the arguements I've heard against it one by one.

Do not judge anime as a whole after seeing: Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon, Digimon, Yu-yu Hakusho, the many Yu-Gi-Oh posers, Bleach, One Piece, or Naruto. Aside from the last three, most anime fans hate these animes and wish they would just disappear so they can stop doing damage to anime's reputation. For the last three, yes, there are many fans for these, but they're just too average and rather sterotypical. Many anime fans start with one of those and move on to better ones.

Anime usually has an intelligent plot. Once again, usually due to the aforementioned animes, people may think animes have no depth. I've seen plenty of anime's with plots as deep as CSI and they have made me laugh as hard as Family Guy. If you watch Ghost in the Shell you will get a whole lot of deep storyline in every single episode.

Not all or even most anime has a ton of girls with large breast. If you are a concerned parent that doesn't want your child to be viewing inappropriate material, beware the following words: ecchi, hentai, yuri, yaoi, shounen-ai, and shoujo-ai.

The only other arguement I've heard is that it's animated. Do you like Family Guy? If not, is it because it's not clean humor? Imagine it without dirty jokes. If you still don't like it, you're weird. But that's okay, because that means at least you shouldn't hate anime because you think it's weird and might have an actual reason for hating anime.
