I got better at it, and it's not so hard anymore.
Like: Ease in ease out, action scenes.
Hate: Walk cycles.
Dispise beyond human recognition: Camera movement, because I have a webcam thats basiclly taped to my desk and moving it can be a real pain.
I love writing scripts and recording voices.
I HATE building sets, syncing mouths, and compressing all the frames to small bits.
Like
Animating fight scenes.
Adding special effects such as explosions.

Masking
video flicker
long walks from one place to another
animating a scene with lots of loose objects in it. (I like to make ruins in my sets)

I'd just like to point out that masking, sticky tac, light flicker, terrible software, etc, are not things that you animate. The title pretty clearly asks about things you love or hate to animate, which does not include things that are involved in the animation process but aren't actually animation.
