I USED to be okay with anime... until I saw just how much of it there was. Hense, the avatar. Pretty much 80 percent of avatars that I see are some sort of anime. I just think people need to find their own style, as you have. And I can't say I respect people who draw it well, because I don't like any of it, frankly. :/
I've grown to hate it, basically. XD
Well, keep up the great art.
