Isn't this pretty much understood though.

Like for instance of any genre you would say perhaps you like "x" or "y", but clearly you only like a specific niche of it. I like sci-fi. But everyone who likes sci-fi knows 99% of it is absolutely poo poo, weird poo poo, weird racist poo poo, weird sexist poo poo, or poo poo so weird you can't even classify it but it gives you a boner so you keep it around.

It's specific to anime. I notice people always have to tell me they hate anime before they start talking about how much they love "One Punch Man" or "JoJo".

I think you all are generizing way too much, when the history of anime can be traced back to the start of the 20th century, with the earliest verifiable films dating from 1917. While anime offers several contributions to the lives of its viewers, one of the first dividends paid out is the increase in multitasking capabilities. Keeping track of the action whilst reading the subtitles is not an easy task, at first; initially, there is a lot of rewinding because you missed what a character said or something didn't make sense so you played it again just to make sure you caught everything. Especially when a villain is explaining the elaborate scheme, and the work it took to setup said scheme, it can be a taxing affair. As you continue watching, however, your reading speed increases and you learn to read the subtitles and track the action happening on screen simultaneously. Multitasking is a skill that is necessary in our day in age; as a project manager, student or a entry/mid-level worker we are often given multiple assignments to work on at the same time. Anime did 9/11 they don't want you to know Even though when watching anime you aren't juggling the same task as you would in a work environment, an anime watcher send help has established the groundwork to figure out a system that works for him or her. And it's pronounced ah-ni-meh, not anna may.

Whenever anyone insults anime I get so mad I just start powering up to unleash a massive torrent of abuse on them.

Unfortunately it takes me like 8 episodes to actually power up so they've usually gone home.

Offense is overrated anyway.

why is 75 percent of the dialogue in anime "ahhh!, ah?" or "uhn" and how damaged does your brain have to be for that to track as natural?
