For me, anime shows the Japanese culture which is fascinating to me.

Also, I find that the Japanese are more willing to explore dark topics. As in, there are more anime TV shows that have a depth not found in Western TV shows, animated or otherwise.

Anime discusses taboos and spirituality. And, like science fiction, it generally allows a more liberal interpretation of reality which lets philosophical commonalities with our corrupt society to seep into our brains in a gentler way.

I guess that I am still a fan of animation, and anime has the best adult styled animation that is not pure fart or penis jokes that a lot of Aermcian adult cartoons have. I am probably also a fan of the culture aswell, it is fun watching a culture that is different to your own and of normal tv you watch, and in general I like some of the customs and myths aswell.

Comedy can be great also, it is feels so rewarding watching some of the parts that really gets me laughing, and emotion that can make you really care for a character.

I don;t like 'stupid' anime like Pokemon, Yu gi Oh and those kiddy ones. The ones I do appreciate are the ones that explore darker and heavier topics. Its easier for ppl to explore those topics because its in a fabricated environment, thus making it ok to show it. For example Samurai Champloo has a lot of elements of morality, Welcome to the NHK has a lot of stuff about Japanese hikkikomori, social pressures and taboos etc. Oh and of course Miyazakis anime are also some of my favorite movies
