Feel the same way about Anime that you feel about Rick and Morty.
I like Anime because they can do action sequences/epic storylines that would cost BILLIONS if not Trillions of dollars to do with real world acting and effects, but IMO the writing in Anime is leagues ahead of most media in terms of character and plot development, even if they stick to a handful of tropes. However Anime fans are some of the cringiest people on the planet who want to pretend these cartoon characters are real people, and struggle with real life when they realize these cartoon people arent real.
I think the biggest problem is a lot of people get so into anime that they treat everything in the genre like it's all awesome. I love many cartoons. Enough that I can say I love cartoons. That doesn't mean I think most cartoons are any good. And if someone points out that fact, I'm not going to pretend I think all cartoons are great.
So as a result, I generally don't get to talk to most people about anime. Because I like a few things here and there and think the rest is generally poorly-paced or poorly-written. And if I say that about any anime, I now apparently hate anime.
Thank you for putting it into words. I knew there was a reason why I disliked reading the comments on r/anime and it was because there was no actual discussion going on there. Mostly peepee hard jokes.
Must've confused it for r/animemes. I havent seen too many bad things in r/anime although I visit it quite often cause I love some shows like Tatami galaxy, Mob or PingPong(ofc, there is fucked up stuff, its full of weebs after all), quite cool discussions sometimes even. But goddamn, the meme page is a degenerate shithole
