I know a lot of people love anime, so I don't wish to be a negative nelly. I respect the art, and think some it's great.
It looks good. I just can't stand the overboard glorification of some of it. It's hard to describe why it irks me. There's a huge emphasis on making the simple over-dramatic. Characters seem to always be breathing heavily, or standing in the wind, and everything is supposed to be the most epic thing that's ever happened in the universe. Seems like everyone's either extremely happy or extremely angry/depressed. Like Cyclops standing there with his head down, like ugh. I can't put my finger on it. Way melodramatic and self-important. I'm not sure if pretentious is what it is, but it certainly feels that way. Emotions and importance seems more emphasised than even theatre.
Something about it bothers me.
