Does anyone have any non-anime friends? I do and they can really get on my nerves sometimes. Once we were sitting around at lunch and they started saying how stupid anime was. One of my closer friends who knew I liked anime didn't really get involved in the conversation, but she did try to defend it 'very weakly'. Everyone else just kept saying how stupid it was. Normally I can accept others opinions, but they haven't seen any anime except for maybe ten minutes of the dubbed version of Pokemon. If I had only seen ten minutes of a really bad American show, and then claimed to hate all American media because of it, would that really be fair. Especially if it was poorly cut and translated so that it was completely different from the original, which wasn't that great to begin with. Other people I know think anime is created by a group of American artists that have a unique style, and still think it suxs. I really, really dislike my society; everyone hates things without even knowing what they are.

Yup.... lots of my friends (all of them, actually) likes reading novels (the romantic kind.... YUCK! <-- I'll leave that to your imagination) so they don't have time for anime >< Some of them like anime too, but this girl (a stupid girl who can't understand anime) pissed me so much she was telling me how stupid HXH (my fav anime/manga) was! And she even had the nerve to diss my fav. character right in front of me!! she's going to regret it.... *evil laughter* oh, yes.... she's going to regret it.... *laughs louder*

well, i do have several non anime friends, but it just happens that i convert them into liking anime. (take myrn, for instance ;D ;D) but the other people who judges anime as ONLY sailormoon, dragonball, and pokemon...gawd i just hate those peoples. And also those anime know-it-all pisses me off too. They don't know what anime is, and they pretend they do just because they happen to be addicted to something like Beyblades! jeez...

most of my friends don't like anime... I managed to convert 2 of them into anime lovers though which is good!... only one of my friends insults anime... but he's stupid because he watches Yu-gi-oh and doesn't realize it's anime.... all my friends like Cowboy Bebop tho since I force everyone I know to watch that series

I know what you mean. I can't even get my friends to change their minds 'cause they think it's so stupid they refuse to watch it. They do play lots of anime-based games though.
