Anime is amazing - but it has it's downsides! This week, Joey The Anime Man and AkiDearest dives into the things in anime that they DON'T like. For all the many positives that anime has (like great characters, gorgeous animation, and fantastic stories), there are a number things that grinds Joey and Aki's gears, such as anime made to appeal to certain audiences and nothing more, live-action adaptations (looking at you Dragonball Evolution and the upcoming One Piece movie), terrible plot-twists, the glorification of yandere characters (*shudders*), and the cliched "running" opening sequences (which continues to baffle Joey). What things in anime that you do not like?
