Putting on my serious face for a second, I have actually seen no anime, except maybe a couple episodes of Pokemon years ago if that counts. But I have less than zero interest in it, so… Knock yourselves out if you like it.
Well, you’re still treating it as one thing though.
There’s no “it” with anime, it’s a generalised term for an entire country’s animated industry.
If all you’ve seen is Pokemon I can see where you’re coming from though. However if you look up something like f.ex. Grave of the Fireflies on YouTube (just the trailer or a random scene) you’ll see how varied “anime” can be.
