Nah, I'll step in for @mwsduelle . Acting like one form of media is more "real" or something is the hot take here. They're just both different ways of delivering qualia, storytelling can be done in either media well or poorly.
And in both a cynic could easily say most works produced are either somewhat vapid, or for niche audiences. Books just have the distinction of lots of them were made for audiences that are dead now.

Yeah like the fact most of the genre is reactionary af.
Most of all media is reactionary. Hating "anime" is like hating "books".

It's animation from Japan.

Ah, so you have no problem with animated stuff, you're just condescending towards the japanese.
Yeah, that makes it way better.

"Most of the genre"
That's a pretty big claim there, got any hard evidence to back that up?
