"I don't like anime.
I like...."
Drat, I can't remember the rest of it, but it was some well-written OP that kinda captured my sentiment on this topic. Let me dig it up...
Edit:Can't find it. Proceeding with post, then.
Generally, I'm less than fond of the typical elements that constitute anime; Unless I'm bored, I won't default to watching anime just 'cause its anime. I don't let this be a bias when I'm watching more unusual series/OVAs, though- I enjoyed Serial Experiment Lain, .hack//SIGN. I do also have a soft spot for some of the classics of the generic categories, like Tenchi.
I don't hesitate to point out that there's a lot of rubbish anime out there, but I don't go around insulting things like Full Metal Alchemist just because it doesn't appeal to me. If its a quality product, then I'll give it some respect.

I think your question is a bit odd. I think you will have a very hard time coming across people who like anime indiscriminately. People tend to like specific anime series, rather than just blindly loving the whole thing.
To make an analogy I could ask if you liked Live Action TV. There are so many different types and genres within the media form. Do you like all TV?
This post is a jumbled mess.

I love it Personally and its pretty much the only form of television I watch anymore.
My favorite has to be Code Geass. Death Note is a close second but I lost interest in the show after
in a unrelated issue don't you think the title is a little short I was skeptical this would turn out well when all I saw was "Anime"

What the Escapist thinks of anime? There are two possible responses.
You'll get people saying "90% of it is shit, I hate it."
Then you'll get people saying "10% of it is good, I love it, here's some of my favorite shows."
I'm in the latter category.

It's been my experience that most people who hate anime only know it casually through things like Naruto and Pokemon and not shows that are *gasp* actually good, like Cowboy Bebop or Mushi-Shi. God knows that there's a lot of crappy anime out there, but I suppose an open mind is a little too much to hope for.
It all depends on the anime in question. Anime like Fist of the North Star(TV series), Witchblade,The Sea Prince and the Firechild,Princess Mononke and Grave of the Fireflies are some of my favorite bits of animation from any country while anime such as Nurse Witch Komugi and UFO Ultra Maiden Valkyrie disappoint me with their wasted potential (an anime about a space valkyrie who would collect souls of people who died in space battles would have been a great idea. Too bad it's just a magical girlfriend show set in a bathhouse. The same goes for a show revolving around a super nurse rather than some cosplay idol.)and Colorful is one of the bits of fiction that I despise most in this world next to the likes of the Turner Diaries and The Birth of a Nation.
