When talking about western animation: Nuanced serious discussion about how it's deep, beautiful art

Basically any time anime is mentioned: "OMG, ONLY REACTIONARY PEDOPHILES LIKE THAT SHIT LOL."

Feels lowkey kinda racist, ngl.

    Cowboy Bebop lacks the creepy shit, and has some of the best sci-fi writing around, in any medium. Definitely worth watching even if you're not a fan of the medium. I really don't know of any other anime about which I can make that claim.

      You can make that claim about a lot of anime, mostly anime centered around men but still. The creepy shit is mostly confined to a specific genre of High School anime.

      Neon Genesis Evangelion is an artistic masterpiece even outside of anime

      Kaiji, Akagi, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, JoJo's Bizzare Adventure, Fist of the North Star, Berserk, all very good, well for Berserk stick to the manga

      Nichijou is a rare non-creepy comedy anime about High School girls in wacky situations with oddly high quality animation
