Hello /a/, I don't "get" the whole hype of anime. Can anyone tell me why anime is better than a regular tv show or movie?
>>
Drawings are cuter
>>
some tv shows are good

some anime are good

some books are good

cutting a whole genre of entertainment off is fucking stupid

Fun things are fun

Cute girls

>>139373568
Cuter girls and more / better porn.

Visuals of show. Fair enough.
>>139373681
That doesn't exactly answer my question, I never said I wouldn't watch it. It's not easily accessible and for that I want to know why people enjoy it
>>139373714
Being fun sounds vague but ok
>>139373811
>>139373868
Cute anime girls doesn't exactly appeal to me but each to their own

Same reason why anyone would enjoy form of media. It entertains. Be it through bouncy tits or some pretentious social commentary, it engages difference audiences in all sorts of ways.

>>139373568
it isn't

Yes I know it entertains but for what reasons? How does it engage?
>>
>>139373568
Infinite potential. It costs about as much to animate some boring SoL as it does to animate some ridiculous space adventure with battles every 10 minutes, so basically, within budget you can do more or less whatever you can draw/think up.

On top of that, you don't need to choose between a great looking actor with questionable acting skills, and a great acting actor with shit looks. You can just take the great acting actor and draw a pretty face on them.

In short, you have a lot more freedom within animation. Its the same benefits regular western animation has, it's just that anime is generally more enjoyable for teenagers/young adults, as opposed to just kids.

Probably one of the best arguments for anime. Good point.
>>
>>139373568
Its not better
I only watch it to self insert

If i wanted to watch something good id watch a movie
>>
For me it's the range of genres together with the occasionally unique art style that pops up every other season, as well as the 20 min format, it makes it really easy for me to keep up with a decent number of shows weekly, and also some great composers that it would be unlikely to find some of their work outside of this medium.
