I didnt get into anime until my late 20s, but seriously - anime produces some of the highest quality shows I have ever seen. Many are adult-themed with serious, complex plotlines.

there are a few animes i think are great, but weirdly i think some of the best american tv too is mostly animated, but just satire rather than drama. wonder what that says about the medium.

I once was mystified by its appeal but lately I’ve come to appreciate it and Japanese culture in general. I still feel that much is lost in translation and that the English language dubs tend to be corny and overwrought.
