Why do some people like anime?

A lot of people new to anime like it because it offers stories you don't see in our western entertainment. I like it because its plot/characters can be just as good and diverse as in regular shows/movies, without any boundaries (no impossible to film scenarios and no scenes which would cost too much to film for example) expect the imagination of the writer.

Because most of the Japanese audiences loves to watch anime shows on TV during late night hours.

Anime contains beautiful artwork and amazing animation especially the more modern ones being released. The story plots are more mature and is not usually something that children would understand. The characters are also sometimes colorful and stand out which appeals to the audience. We also tend to find development in these anime compared to cartoons which dont even have any development or interesting plots.

1) More detail
2) More appealing artwork
3) Fluid animation
4) Plot
5) Story execution
6) Voice acting skills

I spend so much money every month on anime. Im not sure if i could point out 1 thing in general that made me watch anime, i have watched it ever since 1st grade when i came home from school saw some cartoon called "Dragonball Z" watched it and ever since then i have been hooked. Its just so different from any other form of video entertainment. Anything can happen in an anime; from giant robots flying through the sky fighting each other to being trapped in an ever repeating loop of time trying to stop your friends from going crazy and killing each other for a thousand years. You just cant find stories like anime can offer anywhere else. Now there are plenty of anime that get pretty raunchy but isnt acutually porn: Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne is one of those. It get pretty explicit, but its still a good series. Now on the other hand you have what is called "hentai" which is actually "anime porn" and thats not even worth watching, just cartoon porn.

im sure there are specific reasons some people start watching it ive loved anime for years now and I cant think of any specific reason I started liking it a couple of my friends were talking about a series so I started watching enjoyed it and carried on now I stay up till 5 in the morning watching it
