Anime is artwork, so people don't always like everything.
Like I LOVE CLAMP's work. Their stories and their artwork.
I've come across people that don't like them.
One person even said they need to learn how to draw.
Which irritated me. A lot.
As an artist, you'll come across people that don't like your work and people that love your work.
It's pretty interesting, but can hurt your feelings xD
Have you seen or read or played the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni series?
Really cute-looking but is actually horror and has gore in it.
Have you seen the Shiki anime series? The art is kind of weird because of all the wacky hairstyles, but the vampires are pretty creepy in it.
And the anime, manga, game series Corpse Party is pretty cute but really gory.
