what do you love that everybody else hates?
Things I hate that people my age seem to love:
Drinking alcohol
Clubbing
Bars
Loud music (apart from specific circumstances)
Late nights
Doing everything with other people!
Being spontaneous
Things I like that other people seem to not like:
Learning new things
Watching the same TV shows over and over
Predictability
Luckily as I head into my late twenties some of my friends are rethinking their view on the things I hate!

I would rather not use the word hate, as it is an extremely strong word. However, I dislike loud noises/music, partying, socializing, shopping [unless it's for books or video games], drinking alcohol, and many other things besides. I also don't like getting up early in the morning.

It took me a week to read all the post. Wish I followed this sooner.
Things I hate everyone else loves:
-nutella and chocolate hazelnut spreads
-this trend in food that is excessive, were all they do is make the portions bigger, there is this place in SoHo called Black Tap that just dumps every sweet thing in existance together for a "milkshake"
-Minions from Despicable Me, I have to supress my rage whenever I see a minion post on facebook or minion merchandise
-mainstream music
-console gaming, sorry I'm part of the glorious PC gaming master race, hard to discuss gaming outside of multiplats
-mainstream multiplat games, I could care less about Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, or whatever overhyped AAA game is coming out, my taste is for games that aren't milked to death or generic
-Voxel art style games, when I see them all I see is desperate attempt to cash in on Minecraft's fame
-Most fads
Speaking of anime
Small pointy noses
No lips except on adult females
Unrealistic facial expressions
Humongous, ugly ears (not all the time)
Unrealistic hair and hair colors
Often racist or stereotypical drawings of other races
The characters all could be the same person almost because the facial characteristics are too similar
Sound effects which are overdone
The biggest thing is really that the characters all look the same. So boring.
Depends on the anime and some of that stuff applies to Western cartoons as well. I hate the art styles for some Western cartoons as they look to "realistic", gross, weird or lazy.
I can understand some that the big eyes do seem a bit disturbing for some. Not all anime characters have big eyes though in some the art style looks like it was made by a Western person and in some animes some characters have big eyes while others don't.
So I'm address some of the issues both you guys have with anime by pointing out ones that don't do those things like big eyes or stereotypical/racist drawings of other races/ethnicities
Fist of The North Star
Trigun
Berserk
Space Dandy (well at least with human/human-like characters)
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (if you look at the manga it could pass for a western comic with its art style)
Cowboy Bebop
Cyborg 009 definitely does not look like a typical anime
Eureka Seven
One Piece, if anything the characters got big mouths
Full Metal Alchemist
Michiko and Hatchin
One Punch Man (Tatsumaki is pretty much the only character with big eyes and small mouth)
Hunter X Hunter (to be far some characters do have big eyes but not really ridiculous)
Naruto
Bleach (there are only like 2 big eye characters)
Soul Eater
Parasyte
Hellsing

@ SnailHail
Thank you thank you thank you for finding all those pics of non-big-eyed anime. I never wanted to take the time to dig all that up.
From what I understand about Anime and Manga is that it is more of a cultural philosophy and not specifically an art style. That's why many times the West's attempt to do the style loses it's validity. They ape the style without understanding the cultural underpinnings.
For instance, Godzilla (the original) was not a 'monster movie' per se, but an actual socio-political statement about Nuclear power and the devastation it can wreak.

It took me 2 and a half hours to get the pictures I wanted, I decided to stop before I dumped like 10 more on you guys and my entire post would be the equivalent of 2 thread pages minimum.
As far as I know these art styles aren't really that popular in modern Japan since they prefer that "cute" art style. Hence some shows they have the typical small girls or a very generic art style that is considered cute.
Anime and Manga art styles and how they design their character fashion really do reflect on their society. I was wondering how in the world some Japanese people identified some characters as Japanese when they looked nothing like them till I learned about the rampant plastic surgeory in Asia, and started looking at more famous Japanese people like those from boy bands which can look like the anime characters if they chose to cosplay.
I don't think there is much meaning into the styles other than that it depends on the individual, especially in the earlier days the Japanese did copy Western styles for comics and cartoons just look at stuff like Astro-boy.
As zkydz suggested with Akira, you could also try Hayao Miyazaki films like Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle and My Neighbor Totoro, Hayao Miyazaki is basically the Japanese version of Walt Disney.
Cowboy Bebop is amazing, its messages really touch you and make you think.
I love Spirited Away and Howl's Moving Castle! I'm not a big fan of Disney, though [or Kingdom Hearts, for that matter].

Those are some great suggestions that were made. My mind is focused on other things right now and I could not think of those names.
Totoro is really good too. But it can be cute. But the stories are not cute. They are amazing. Well, can be amazing. As in all things, there are bad examples of anything.
As for the cultural aspects of the Anime and Manga are that each character is based on some sort of Archetype. There are always small clues to the characters visually to foreshadow things.
