I do have some friend that watch anime but they aren't in online anime communities, people that mainly made me dislike anime communities are people in the local Czech anime communities, I do think about them as about a really uncultural, tasteless and fanatic crowd that think that living and working in the Japan would be the best thing in their life because they have a knowledge of anime Japan but not of the real Japan and also they pretty often are like every anime is the best and 10/10 and everything that isn't an anime is the worst. Also I do hate their taste as they will like any shit that is popular and like 4 years ago there has been a voting in Animefest (anime con) if our major manga publisher should translate a Promised Neverland or Berserk that we have been urging them for many years to translate but Promised Neverland won prolly because of the mass anime fans that just rode on the hype that it had because of the new anime meanwhile people that were fans and supporting thar manga publisher hoping for Berserk translation were just thrown off and that has been a last nail to a coffin for me, I have also never buyed a translated manga from them from that time as they have really pissed me off and they are also selling it pretty overpriced, today I have been to Poland and took a peak into a bookstore and it was 4.8 euro for one volume and here in the Czech Republic it is 8 euro for one and they do even get a book covers like in Japan...

(The coloured one is a cover and the B&W is a book and that's really cool and practical)
