I have endeavored to create a fair and non-biased poll.  It starts at the top for anime fans and at the bottom is for haters like me.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

It's okay on occasion.  I do like Studio Ghibli.

I loathe it with a passion. When I saw my first catgirl recently out in the real world, my bile glands exploded.

I've watched one anime film in my life: Appleseed.  I only watched it because my brother bugged the living shit out of me to, saying it was "amazing" and such.

It was ok, but I didn't find myself compelled to watch more anime afterward.  Part of the issue for me, I think, is that the prevailing style of drawing anime characters doesn't at all appeal to me (the whole BESM thing).

Its a medium, not a genre.
Just like American live action films there is the great, the OK, the bad and the bloody awful.

I like CB. That's about it. It's the writing and the music more than the anime medium. I don't care if something is animated if it's well-written. Too often the two don't go together.

I like Studio Ghibli films a lot.  Never watched anything else for more than 10 minutes.

You're obviously a fan of "Battle Royale"! :w00t:

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Somewhere between 3 and 4 with a smidge of 2.

I don't dislike anime as a whole...really I'm rather indifferent. What I do hate are anime fans. Yeah I'm looking at you, Tim 1 and Tim 2. :angry:

I like some anime and manga. I hate cos play animetards who can't think of anything else.

Before I forget...

Thanks for posting this poll Raz, as it will provide the data and statistics I was asking for the other day.

Provisionally, based on early results, it appears I did the general population of Languish a disservice when I came up with my own estimates, for which I apologise.
