      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.
