i dont see why people like animê ???!!!!

Hmm... I have a lot to say. I'm going to answer your question, but let me get a few things on my mind out of the way... please read it all!!

First:
Let me start por saying that there are different types of anime. Some are for teenagers, some for children, and some for adults.
Contrary to popular(misguided) belief, people watch animê for many reasons, not only perverted ones(although some do. Not that it's a bad thing. People can watch whatever they want, for whatever reason they want, you know).

Secondly:
animê and desenhos animados are basically the same thing... animê is just what people in Japão call cartoons. Really. The only difference between animê and western desenhos animados are where they were made.
Some people like to say,
"Ohhh, no!! They're different!! Western desenhos animados and animê are soooo different!!"
...How? animê just seems to have a larger following and is aimed at a bigger audience, but they're essentially the same.
(Also, some "Otaku" out there like to bash western desenhos animados because they think animê is superior. Please do not do that. Would you like it if someone bashed animê because they find western desenhos animados superior? Most of you probably answered no. Then don't bash western cartoons. If you don't like them, that's fine. But please, do not try and make them out to be super-duper terrible, just because they didn't come from Japan. Many say, "Oh, but Western desenhos animados are sooo stupid!!" ...listen. I can name a bunch of animê that are really, reaaallyyy stupid, so don't go there. Also, don't pull the, "But animê is soooo much better drawn! The artwork is so much prettier!!!". There are a bunch of animê with terrible animation/artwork. Western cartoonist work really hard to make cartoons- just as hard as animê creators. Don't bash their work just because of where it came from. Of course, this only applies to a select few animê fans.)

Third:
If you think that animê is a "bad role model" for kids, maybe you're watching animê that's not made for kids, but for a mais mature audience.
Some animê are perverted, some aren't. Some are violent, some aren't. It depends on the genre of the anime(ex; action, romance, comedy...) and the audience it was aimed at(ex; kids, young adults, adults).
Very much like... books. Yeah. Some books are perverted, and some may present some mature themes and characters that may be considered "bad role models". But that doesn't mean books are disgusting and gross, right?

Fourth:
Now, for an actual answer to your question. People like anime... because they like it. Why do some people like TV? Why do some people like reading? Why do some people like (fill in the blank)?
They enjoy it, and that's the only reason they need.

Aaaaand that's all.

"i dont see why people like animê ???!!!!"

Because we find it interesting, its your choice to watch the gross type of anime. I grew up watching it. i'm Japanese and live in Japão so
I naturally like it.
I'll leave the rest of it to other people I don't feel like saying anything else.

I like the animê things that I watch because of the story, and some of them are pretty funny.

i don't see why people DON'T like Anime! separating this into 2 parts!
Part 1: "its a really bad role model for children , its basically a teenage cartoon, i find it disgusting and gross"
~most of the time it's only rated for teens because of curse words n quite frankly i was listening to uncensored eminem since i was 5...
~what u mean 2 say is all the animê YOU'VE seen is disgusting and gross...you need 2 figure out what it is about you that keeps attracting ain't shit anime...
~i know about 50 people that would beat the hell outta you for calling it a cartoon
~there ARE children's anime. (Sonic, Pokemon, Yu-gi-oh, Monster Rancher, Dragon Ball Z, & Digimon are big examples)
~there ARE educational animes (like Hetalia....you've just gotta know a little bit to catch the history in it)

Part 2: "why you even waste your time on it?"
~it's made me friends i wouldn't have without it
~i talk to people a lot mais and become closer with them because we have mais in common
~it's fun as heck to draw
~it gives me challenges (mostly in drawing it but also in following along with some of it, Death Note being the biggest 1 in that aspect)
~it gives me something 2 do when otherwise i'd b bored outta my mind!!

Not all of it is bad for children. There are some animê like Fruits Basket, Pokemon, ect that are no different then plenty of appropriate desenhos animados and actually teach children a important message with a good story behind them.

How is it disgusting and gross in general? Yes there's plenty of animes that have ecchi and perverted things in them but a large majority of animê is totally clean. All of the ones I watch are~

I like it because there's animes that are creative and have a beautiful story to them. I admit there are some awful animes out there, but a lot are no different then some of the shows you probably watch. Some make me cry, laugh. They inspire me, make me happy, and ignite my imagination~

i do ' nt really know actually .

i guess i just like it because i like the story lines and the characters .

and especially the OTPS , oh jesus , the OTPS .

i amor my sweet OTPS .

and i also like the guys , their kinda cute ;) .

but i guess that's it .

It actually depends on what kind of animê you watch. I consider myself an Otaku, but I don't watch animê I know are gross. You are talking about hentai and fanservice, no? I can handle it. It all depends on how mature you are.

But, I'm not keen on how you said "why you even waste your time on it". It sounded as if you were saying it's a waste of time for everyone. I'm probably wrong, and if I am, I'm sorry.

I think you might be looking at the fanservice-y type animes(or full-on hentai). You know, stuff with teen animê girls getting panty shots and suggestive facial expressions 24-7 (like this animê called Rosario+Vampire -_-)

There ARE animes for children, they're just /really/ hard to find.

Ok, now to why I like it. I like animê because some have amazing stories, take soft, down-to-earth animes like CLANNAD for example. Some can even teach you important life lessons, for kids or not.

i dont see why you cant accept that some people like things you dont and thats ok ???!!!

Wow, people like different things. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp? How old are you, like 12?

Well not all animê is necessarily bad. Sure there maybe a few... odd... ones here and there but it really depends on the viewer.

I'm a big fã of animê because it greatly entertains me either through its story or characters and is one of the things that comforts me in life.

But hey, if you don't like anime, that's okay and I ain't going to give you shit for it. uvu

Fine. That ain't stopping other people from watching it, though.

There are different animê types...not ALL of them are for children,you know.Just because someone says "Anime" doesn't mean that it sums up to only being "teenage" shows,if you know what I'm saying. ._.

Please just stop talking. Because, every word you wrote was complete shit. It's obvious that you don't know crap about the animê world. Your statement about it being a teenage cartoon is widely false. Sure, I can take your personal opinion saying it is basically gross but a teenage cartoon? Really you unintelligent noodle of a specimen?

First of all and when I say this get this through your thick, dense skull. animê isn't cartoon. Surprised? You should be! Cartoon is drawings shown in an exaggerated way. Now before you jump to the stupid conclusion that they’re the same thing, don’t. Just shut up and listen! animê is televisão animation having a science fiction theme and (yes) sometimes includes violent and sexual material. Does it make it gross? No, it makes it real. Why on earth would you want to watch something purposely watered down? animê is an escape from the harsh reality we live in. It’s funny and the characters are relatable. Sure, when I was kid I watched cartoons, there’s no denying that.

But I got older and discovered animê which in my opinion is better. Far better. I would respect your argument but there wasn’t any. All you said was that it was ‘gross’ and ‘disgusting’. That’s just a pathetic reasoning. It really doesn’t clarify your feelings. However, it did clarify that you’re an immature cretin who has no freakin clue what she/he are talking about. It’s very evident from your question.

So the seguinte time you post a question, at least make it a good one.

Not a stupid one.

*Peace Out*

I don't know about you, but I have learned a lot good things from Animes. Certain Animes have changed me, for good. e.g. angel Beats!, Fruits Basket, 07 Ghost, etc. If you don't have enough information about, then don't talk. There are many Animes that have stories, good role modelos and which are not disgusting and gross. We don't waste our time, we like it. Hope you'll understand this.~
