>>32252705This idea that the anime is loved by all in Japan comes from the fact that we only get to see the positive side. You only get exposed to Japanese anime fans, from fanart and such. There's no way to see the other side. The fanart isn't going to show the haters. That's impossible. There won't be articles about the hate. Well, there were some that called out SM anime art style shit and hated on it, but it was a different kind of hate. You can't see the hate unless you just see the their Pokemon boards. Which are, overall, very similar to ours, just with a slightly different set of memes. Even right down to the attitude of people, like 2ch hating other Pokemon boards for being normie ones.
>>32252756And? The target audience is fine even in the west. The thing is, the target audience isn't going to be the only ones expressing their opinion. There are Pokemon fans in Japan, and there are anime fans in Japan, so naturally, they too want to see a Pokemon anime. Yes, the target audience of the current Pokemon anime is kids. That's what the complaints are about. Why is the target audience kids, when it could just as easily be everyone, including kids.
