I have never met anyone respectable who watches anime
Do you know anyone who watch anime?
Yes, a friend of mine from high school watches it. He is pathetic.
You can't generalize a group of people like this, not all anime watchers are bad. You can't always assume such things, because anime is just Japanese cartoons, there is no correlation. Everyone has the right to watch whatever they want without you judging them.
I hate anime.
You can hate anime all you want but try not to put down someone for enjoying it. I am sure you like certain entertainment that other's do not enjoy either, but they won't treat you in such a judgmental manner. Different strokes for different folks.
