CATDOLL: Anime fans feel bitter when they say their favorite works are hated by others

Japan is known as the "holy land of anime" by anime fans all over the world. This is closely related to the status and development of the domestic anime industry. But even in Japan, where the anime industry is popular, anime fans are still "rejected" by the general public, and all kinds of extreme behaviors are possible.

Recently, a Japanese media conducted a survey on "ordinary people": If an anime fan openly said that he liked "XXX" in public, you would feel uncomfortable or even unacceptable. In the survey, 40% of the respondents over 40 years old said that although they didn't know these animations, they still felt disgusted. So let's take a look at which works made the list.

Girls und Panzer

There are more than 30 beautiful girls in this work, and the theatrical animation has achieved a box office of more than 2 billion yen. 95% of the audience of the theatrical animation are men, so it is probably not suitable for the whole family to watch together. But even if you say you like this work in public, you won’t be disliked.

Bakemonogatari

The cute elements are quite complete, and there is a certain number of female audiences. The performance in the form of dialogue drives the plot forward, and there doesn’t seem to be much to dislike.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya

When the anime was aired, the dance that the characters performed together was very popular. In the heyday of Haruhi, otaku culture was not as socially accepted as it is now, and it might have been more hated than it is now.

"Lucky Star", "Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions"

"Lucky Star" and "Chuunibyou ga Koi ga Shirai!" both received 44 votes and tied for sixth place. In dramas like "Lucky Star", the characters are generally small and beautiful girls. For non-otakus, this is what lolita fans like, so it's no wonder that openly expressing your love for them will be disliked.

To Love-Ru

Among young people, the majority of men who expressed their love for the TV series To Love-Ru are men who are bored. So it is actually very dangerous to publicly express your love for To Love-Ru when you think the other person is also a man...

Cardcaptor Sakura

"Cardcaptor Sakura" is an animation for children broadcast on NHK. If an older man says that he likes Sakura very much, other than the feeling that he has a girl's heart, the only thing left is probably disgust.

"K-ON!", "The Idolmaster"

"K-ON!" and "The Idolmaster" tied for second place. These two works, which have been successful in various fields such as movies, games, and songs, seem to have not met everyone's approval. I don't really understand those three-dimensional non-otakus who hate such cute girls.

Love Live!

Love Live! and The Idolmaster have many similarities in their settings, but Love Live! ultimately won first place with a high vote. Perhaps it was because the excessive behavior of a large number of LLers had a negative impact, which also had a certain impact on this survey.
