What do you think of Anime ?

I could understand why, as most of it has to do with part of what frostyyy mentioned about the sound. As you're having to read along with a show in order to enjoy. While there is also the dubbed or translated version into "X" language. The overall theme of jokes can sometimes even be cringe-worthy given the certain type of anime that also might be cross-covered to appeal to the other audience. So yes there's that hindering from being widely acceptable, as true deep-rooted storylines are far from one another when released.
