That makes no sense.

We are individuals with different tastes not only on TV but on many other topics, that's what makes us human, that's one of the main differences between us and animals.

I played games that were anime-based and own some too.

I like watching Anime more anyway XD.

What do you mean? Like Chrono Trigger? That was an awesome game, but I haven't really liked many other Japanese games. Never been much of a console gamer.

i mean like the naruto games and Kingdom Hearts and .Hack and stuff like that.

Kingdom Hearts is cool

I agree -- except for the part about animals.

1. We are animals. It's a simple biological fact.

2. Other animals also have varying individual tastes. Watch any two cats or dogs together and you will see what I mean.

Oh, speaking of anime-style videogames, I'm fond of the Ace Attorney series. I hope to get Apollo Justice later this month!

I don't understand anime, so no, I haven't played anime games.

How can you not understand anime? It's just stylized cartoons from Japan. Unless you mean you don't understand the fandom, which would make more sense.

(btw - I'm not trying to be mean to you, I'm just trying to understand why you don't understand, if that makes sense.)

It's confusing, that's all. I don't see how people can like cartoons with characters who sound like they inhaled helium. And the expressions... Weird. I'd much rather read manga than watch anime.

The squeaky voices are actually one of my biggest problems with a lot of anime too. The original Japanese versions are usually worse than the English dubs in that regard. But not all animes have characters who speak two octaves too high. And I'm willing to forgive some of those that do if they are good enough.

The exaggerated expressions are also only part of a subset of anime, and I don't mind them that much. Some go for a more realistic approach.

Manga and anime fall under the same umbrella. I like reading manga as well. It's just... Anime is something very near and dear to my heart, and the thought that anyone lives without anime in their lives is unfathomable to me.

I'd like anime, if they actually had it on TV at a reasonable time. All anime is on at either 7 am or 10 pm. And I'm asleep at both times. XD

Spanish dubs are overall an infinite amount of times better than English ones and thus I like them.

In my opinion and probably hard anime lovers hate dubbed because they screw things up so bad that people get pissed off at it. Happened to dubbed One Piece (still sucks in English) and the Japanese version is much better because its unedited.
