Traditionally, Western pop genre schlock doesn’t usually tackle such emotional or personal themes which is probably partly why anime is so popular among Westerners. Wearing your emotions on your sleeve is also why other Westerners find it so deeply, offensively cringe

I was talking about the visceral reaction to Japanese anime storytelling and dialogue many people have in general, not the questionable sex stuff

Some people just want to shoot their TV when anime characters talk and I totally get it

You hate anime because of the heavy emotional undertones and introspective narrative structure

I hate anime because a low framerate is annoying

We are not the same

I don’t watch much anime unless a friend insists I watch some particular thing. I had to bail from Attack on Titan after a few episodes. The setting and idea are great, but there were only so many instances of a protagonist freezing mid-battle to cry that I could take.
