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

Cuter girls and more / better porn.

Visuals of show. Fair enough.

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

Being fun sounds vague but ok

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.

it isn't

Yes I know it entertains but for what reasons? How does it engage?

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.

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.
