I'm fine with anti-magic as long as its effect is to weaken rather than to totally nullify.

It's kind of like the difference between Magic vs. Superman and Kryptonite vs. Superman (Superman is extra-vulnerable to magic but it's not an instant win over him like kryptonite often is).

Unfortunately, my (little) experience with anti-magic in anime (and anime-related mediums) is that it's usually used like kryptonite in anime. In which case, yes, it often comes across as an over-powered and cheap plot device.
