It’s because anime currently offers a higher quality (as an average and as a ceiling, obviously there’s still schlock and stuff too) than Western culture does for modern entertainment. Lots of people that are disgusted with woke politics in all media will naturally be attracted to anime and/or manga because it doesn’t have that issue. Also, acknowledging that there is the cultural barrier and the weird shit you can find, a lot of the most popular, broadly successful anime and manga still undeniably celebrates things like masculinity, femininity, loyalty, family, duty, and working to improve oneself and excel. Again, values largely absent from or even villainized in modern Western media, but values that naturally appeal to those who are opposed to certain current issues in Western society.
I liked anime and manga because they touch on themes that mainstream western cultures wont touch.
Things like god, fighting for man and your country, etc.
It blows my mind we almost never got xenogears because they were worried that religion is to touchy of a subject. Never got another game like it.
That being said, I have a very niche interest in it. Mostly the more mature scifi ones. Like EVA, GANTZ, Gurren Lagann, Robotech(really good one if your into the ancient aliens thing). You would be hard pressed to find a movie/show like these in america. Seems like most of the western ones are just dumbed down rip offs.
But I must say, 90% of the cheaters I come across in cs2 (and I dont mean, oh I think that guy is prolly walling, im talking about 100 leetify aim, looking through walls, rage cheating) are using anime pics of girls. Its bizarre.
Anime pfp is perfectly fine for trolling
Also many Anime authors are more versed in Western philosophy than the best Western authors.
It's not even their culture and they know it better. Why? Because we won the world wars so they studied us to find out why so they could copy and perfect it. That's why they all wear suits, have stock markets and adversarial justice systems, and so on.
Meanwhile our schools don't even teach U.S. Government anymore, much less Plato or the other greats.
Pretty true, good response. I don't watch a ton of it but I liked a few series. I am not a fan of the overly sexual stuff, especially younger actors.
