Well, as with everything there are differing opinions and always someone who won't shut their trap about it. Just tell him to lay off with it and if he gets pissed you lay off him and walk away ("lay off him" is not a term for violence here but one of rejection, use at own risk and uphold copyright, if any  ).

This is probably more of the reason why you don't like it than it being anime. The obsessives of anything can ruin something, though I will admit a particular dislike of otakus as well. Like most things, some of it is good, most of it is bad.

I hate anime. I hate the style. I hate the clichés that come with it.
But, to contradict that, I consider Cowboy Beebop to be the finest work of art ever created by man.
So figure that out.

I have to agree. For the most part, Anime is over-the-top, nonsensical and clichéd to within an inch of it's life. There are a few exceptions, but otherwise I find watching it too painful, especially with their insistence that 16-year-old schoolgirls can backflip 100ft in the air and kick a guy so hard he breaks through walls. Not even Marneus Calgar, King of the Mary-Sue fluff, could get away with that.
..and yet I quite like Manga. Odd.

Could it be that you (along with a great deal many others) equate "Anime" with long-running Shounen fighting shows such as "Bleach", "Dragonball Z" and "Naruto"? They certainly enjoy an almost insane level of popularity and so tend to be what people not explicitly looking for other types of anime tend to form their opinions off of. However, it is still just one (fairly narrow) genre in a rather diverse media. Which isn't to really bash them either, I can certainly understand the appeal and when I'm in the right mood me and my inner 14 year old can get quite the kick out of them.
EDIT: It's certainly very possible you don't. However I've found it's fairly common in the cases where someone says "I hate anime but [Cowboy Bebop/Ghost in the Shell] was pretty good"

I do not think that anime sucks. Granted, I am not a particular fan of that style of animation or storylining, but I understand that there are many people who are. I would have preffered a neutral option in your poll, but then again what does my opinion count for anyway, eh?

I have a fairly narrow area of interest in anime. I don't get all the cutesy/psychedelic stuff that Lunahound is into.

People are like dice, a certain Frenchman said that. You throw yourself in the direction of your own choosing. People are free because they can do that. Everyone's circumstances are different, but no matter how small the choice, at the very least, you can throw yourself. It's not chance or fate. It's the choice you made. |

Not all anime is bad. I'll grant that almost every anime TV series you can watch right now is garbage. But, go to your local video store and you might be able to find some GOOD anime, like:
Lupin the 3rd: A master thief, Lupin, and his friend Jigen make heists while outrunning the law.
Samurai 7: Steampunk reimagining of Akira Kurosawa's The Seven Samurai.
Anime films by Studio Ghibli: The moviess produced by this studio make legendary films look like mockbusters.

I mean just look at the recent bumbling acts of marketing childishness we've seen in just the past year! Iron Man 2. All the trailers, previews, interviews, Comi-Con panels, tie-ins with burger joints and whatnot. None of that should have happened. The real way to market a movie like Iron Man 2 is to not tell anyone you're making it until a week before its release and then BAM, you hit 'em with the movie. You get everyone to sign NDA's that are punishable by forfeiture of all the person's assets and/or the death penalty, you hire hitmen to kill journalists that sneak in to take photos, you threaten local towns with forced sterilisation should they blab that something's filming in their town, and then then you say nothing about the movie at all and, in fact, even go so far as to deny you're making it.
Avatar. Another great example. All that hype about it being the most expensive movie ever made, the genius of the special effects, and so on. James Cameron should have denied he ever intended to make a movie after Titanic and then zzzzzzzzaaaaaaappp, Avatar - Realease Date - 1 week from now!
That's the real way to market. None of this preview/trailer/hype bull gak. You say nothing, you deny everything, and you leave everyone guessing as to what the hell you're doing until you physically are no longer able to.
Think of just how much money Avatar and Iron Man 2 could have made if we'd never known they existed until they were already in theatres? Hundreds more. Possibly even hundreds of billions more. Why is GW the only one who gets this?

I'm not too much into Anime TV series, there are a few that I quite like (Restaurant Paradisio and Gantz) but some I really don't like, Naruto for one.
The Studio Ghibli films are amazing, I love anime films, well, some of them anyway. I do, like manga very much, particularly Death Note and the recent Darren Shan manga ^^

Not to mention you get a fair amount streaming that's decent these days. For example I've really been enjoy House of Five Leaves this season. Though, I'm not sure we have the same tastes Lupin the 3rd got old fast, and Samurai 7 was pretty "meh" in my opinion.

I like anime the same way I like collecting GW and FW miniatures and models. I like some of it, but no way would I invest my whole being into it. Some stories, fluff, characters, authors, etc are great. Some are not so great, to the extent one could say they suck. Where my opinion falls now is true for both anime and miniature collecting/ gaming. All the best stuff is already out, and most of the new stuff is disappointing, but once in awhile something inspired comes along that allows me to admit to myself that I like anime, or I like table top war games, regardless of the genras' short comings as a whole.

Some anime is good others like Naruto and such are pretty bad and I don't see where they get the insane levels of popularity from. Sure it's nonsensical, but if everything in every form of entertainment had to be, well then watching the grass would be the best form of entertainment known to man.
