Why is anime so popular nowadays?

My ex girlfriend was into all that stuff and had an obsession with japanese culture.

I learnt that people that like it are sort of similar to the type that play video games all day, they have to find a way of escaping reality, believing in a fantasy world and relating their lives to this fantasy.

Also, I found her and all her friends extremely immature, to the point where it was quite scary how immature they really were.

No offence but they're freaks.

Kids watch Anime
Adults watch Manga
Perverts watch Hentai
