Sure, whatever. I’m just saying it’s a very broad cultural Japanese thing, and not just “hundreds of soap opera” episodes, or Naruto or whatever, I don’t even know myself. A lot of variety is what I’m saying.

It’s actually pretty interesting. I guess “the west” is kinda prejudiced about what anime really is.

    No, I agree, and I'm not saying I dislike it for a good reason or even a vastly informed reason; I've watched a few, and they felt varied in content and style and tone (at least to me). I'm just saying sometimes it's as simple as "just don't like it". I don't like eggplant either; had it prepared a few different ways. I don't think it's that I just haven't found that magical preparation or mix of seasonings or whatever; just not a fan.

    No judgment since I think many anime shows are not worth the time, but anime is just another medium, like books, more than anything. If there’s a genre of something you like on another medium, then there probably are some decent shows for that genre in anime.

    Lots of anime is written with a specific audience in mind, such as the most well known anime shows being written for teens and young adults. Even more, most anime has a specific gendered audience as its target audience.

    I personally didn’t care too much for anime until I watched some very high quality shows that pulled me more into the medium.
