Ditto for manga and hentai. Keep 'em to yourself, please.

2. Not even.
And it's not only the titles like this one that chase me away. It's the parade of big-boobed junior high girl protagonists.

3. Not a suggestion, it is now a category
If you are using an internet/tv device like the PS3 or Roku, Netflix has added the anime/animation row to the displayed categories.

You could low rate all the actual anime and only leave other animation but it would be a lot of work.

BTW, sure you don't care, but manga is graphic novels, not anime. If Netflix is offering manga it must be a new service. Hentai though, you got that one right. :-)

11. I knew there was a reason that I thought that
NetFlix has at least one current anime offering that's described as "the popular manga series," so even though I don't doubt that you're correct, this kind of description is the reason why I conflated anime and manga into a single format, like a big dumb gaijin.

So there.

4. They've been trying to push that on me, too. I can't stand that crap.
About the only Japanimation movie I ever liked was Grave of the Fireflies, and I wouldn't want to watch it again.

7. I hate when they suggest movies for me.
Is there any way to turn that feature off?

9. YouTube is getting about as bad with their recommendations.
YouTube Suggests:

1980 Academy Awards - Part 12
Top Ten Weapons of China

I'm like - do whaaa? What the hell have I been watching?
