I wouldn't say that.
There are many restrictions now on the media when compared to the old days. Getting permissions is a lot stricter than you imagine and things change man.
Sometimes I do if it's been recommended to me but I wouldn't go out of my way to search for them man.
I usually read the summary before picking up an anime
Not happened so far man.
If the overall plot is not good enough, I will end up dropping the anime but I wouldn't drop it, just because of one hateful character
Mecha for me man.
Though magical girl troupe is popular now, Mecha used to be popular as well. There is no way to determine the popular genre except for Shonen
Done it at the beginning man and after that I just drop the anime, if they are not worth watching. Many anime out there and it's not good to limit ourselves :cheers:
His reasons sound childish too man. I can understand his reasons for some characters but him complaining about even support characters, is just plain whining and no one usually pays attention to the support character.
Sure man and why not?
Even if the quality at first is not good, it will improvise and even the 1970's 2D animation wasn't perfect but take a look at it now.
