It wasn't horrible and in fact i quite enjoyed what I saw. I watched SAO, oreimo (friend recommended it and it was kind of bizarre) and the classics like bleach and and Naruto but only about 20 episodes each at night after I was done studying etc. I can see the reasons why it is negatively viewed by people as some anime are bizarre and just in our culture not excepted or known. I haven't told my friends I enjoy it yet, I really don't know why perhaps being a "gamer" is socially unacceptable already but thankfully I have friends with the same interests as I but besides the point. Anime is interesting and a few really stood out like Attack on Titan and Hit man Reborn. Let me know if you tried anime and loved it, hated it, despise it or love it.
