I used to like anime back in the 90s because it was totally different than anything I had ever seen before. Then I started meeting other people who liked anime and noticed a shocking number of them really liked anime with little girls in their underwear. I know that's not everyone but it totally turned me off to the whole genre. I can just never look at it the same way now.

The Japanese character archetype of the "perverted old man" (oyaji) can be particularly troublesome when you're not expecting it. Particularly when it's played for laughs, like with Kimura in Azumanga Daioh
