Nah. Even if you hate the way that anime has fallen into certain tropes lately, only a total faggot didn't enjoy things like Star Blazers, Robotech or G-Force, back in the day. Don't blame the medium, blame the cosplayers.
Every here knows I love anime, but even I'll admit there's a lot of weird and fucked up shit out there so I can understand where he's coming. I was amused.

Well, I grew up watching Captain Future (of course in the early 80s no one used the term "anime"), loving the sci-fi theme and design (now I know it's based off the stories of Edmond Hamilton). I don't watch much anime these days, though I found Elfen Lied both well written and emotionally a bit devastating. Most depressing story I've seen in a while.

One man's annoyance is another man's bread and butter... ;)
Although some conventions I can do without, myself. For example, the closing bloodbath that afflicts all bar one Gundam series, for example. Or the habit of trying to cloak a lack of a satisfying ending as some kind of metaphysical claptrap (although that seems to be less common now.) Or the lack of satisfying endings in general, since almost all studios seem to be infected with a mania for leaving things open for sequels that are never made.

It's etymologically related to "jiggaboo". A "weeabo" is a black male who's obsessed with anime.
A "Japanigger", if you will.

Not all anime is about that.
A weeaboo is just a western fan of anime to an obnoxious degree. A japonphile, primarily on the more immature aspects of their culture.

Agelastus, you know better than that - anime is often made based on running manga series, and usually airs while the manga is going. All the episodes are usually completed years before the author ends his work, so the animators have no choice but to leave things open.
For the actual endings, 90% of the time you have to read the manga. InuYasha is a perfect example of this - even with 150+ episodes and 5 movies, the series only covers the first 36 volumes of the manga (which has 56 volumes altogether).

It's an interesting mix, in that some of the topics are treated quite grimly (for example, the genocide described in the very title) whereas the on-screen violence is often pure child-friendly fantasy - the characters set out to capture but not kill each other, and even though blades are sometimes flying, they don't draw blood.
Certainly it has the most frightening 14 year old girl psycho I've ever seen depicted. :D
Anime can be really inventive; there are some really cool ideas in anime, that you cannot really find elsewhere. Unfortunately, the Japanese usually seem to fail at characterization and general narrative coherence.

Martim Silva, you know better than this. A lot of anime is made that is not based on long running Manga series. Consider such examples as "Martian Successor Nadesico" or "Bubblegum Crisis, Tokyo 2040" for examples of either the non-ending or the resort to crap metaphysics.
Speaking of ongoing manga series - Berserk has jumped the shark a couple years back (basically when Shiel(r)ke - depending on transliteration - joined up). Which is a shame, I really liked the series. I keep looking at the new books, but though I liked the Kushan invasion in prinnciple it was overall rather boring and predictable.

No doubt; but I did very much enjoy the portrayal of Princess Azula as a stone-cold psychopath, with such a crippling lack of empathy that she is in effect unable to relate to normal humans.
My favorite moment was when she and her gang were incognito, and she flirts with some guy at a party - before scaring him off by going into a "together we can
take over the world!" routine. :D

It can leave me easily unintrigued. Desperately inappropriate juxtapositions of this type actually show a lack of imagination on the author's part - and the Wikipedia entry is even more uninspiring than your own quoted description (yes, I did check before posting.)
Moe, furry? I can take the occasional catgirl character, as long as it's not the main focus of the anime, but my tastes don't really lie that way - I tend to be fairly eclectic in my tastes.
For example, the series I am really enjoying this season are Ichiban Ushirou no Daimou, and to my surprise as I initially thought it would be awful, B Gata H Kei.
As another example, just looking from where I am posting, I can see the following titles of my DVD collection -
Fafner
Ah My Goddess
Tenjho Tenge
Mystical Detective Loki Ragnarok
Boys Be
My Hime
Yumeria
Neon Genesis Evangelion
Irresponsible Captain Tylor (TV and OVA)

Divergence Eve (1st and 2nd Seasons)
Stellvia
Gundam Seed
Infinite Ryvius
Mahoromatic (I have the Manga too, with the much superior ending)
Angelic Layer
Bubblegum Crisis, Tokyo 2040
They're not on the shelf in any particular order, else Infinite Ryvius would be a lot higher on the list.

I'm not going to pull a Tamas and attempt to close the thread.
However I'm going to man the thread back up. I like Miranda Kerr.

This would be called manning up a thread.

Her expression there makes her look silly. Find a better photograph.

And Brain? The thread title even includes the word "anime". Live with it - it's not as if we are "polluting" a normal thread... :P
It also has "nukes" in it you cocksmoking buttqueen.
I can only think of one that I liked and it starred Minnie Driver.
