maybe it's just a coincidence but this boy who watches anime at my school is super weird, like i know weird is subjective and there's different levels, but this guy is like straight-jacket weird, he smashed the window of a door after a lesson for no obvious reasons. fake laughs randomly, gets all serious when he's weight lifting. tbh i dont want to be around him...i feel for my safety

Nothing wrong with it. There's a few weird ones I've caught glimpses of, but all-in-all it seems interesting.
Now I need to get around to finishing Death Note.

You normally find Anime and My Little Pony are watched by that same group
- even bigger adult male following for My Little Pony.

I once asked my friend this question and her reply was "Well, why would you watch unrealistic Chinese cartoons" (I was not impressed) "that look like they're for kids but filled with perverted shots of semi naked schoolgirls?" Amongst other things.

Well since i'm a fairly pretty 18 year old girl people never guess I like anime thankfully and i'm grateful for that . This is because I don't blame those who think people who watch anime are weird; a lot of fans are creepy ugly obsessive men who are as gross as the anime they watch (oreimo, kissxsis ewww). But saying that i love anime myself. definitely not like the ones i just listed, but my faves are hunterxhunter, GINTAMA, jjba, death note, snk, sailor moon, gekkan shoujo nozaki kun and noragami. However most anime these days are garbage unfortunately because they pander to sweaty basement dwellers to make money. However, there are a lot of gems out there, that can grab you as much as western tv shows. To be quite honest I think i prefer animation over live action (both western cartoons and japanimation). I don't know why. The music is another thing that's great and the plots are really varied so that's it really.^^

I think thats a massive generalisation you're making, some anime are designed for those people but not everyone watches it

I like animation more becuase the writer/animater can fully show what a character or an object represents which isn't that possible with live shows. Plus I just like the bright colours its mopre visually stimulating

Cause they aren't intelligent enough to know the difference between anime and hentai.As if we haven't seen weird or sexual things in Western culture.

Anime certainly attracts a certain kind of person, but I can't quite put my finger on why, exactly.

Stereotypes form because of patterns, they don't emerge out of the blue.

The fact that a lot are? A lot of the people I know who do are going nowhere, socially inept and have bad personal hygiene.

I don't think the stereotype is fair at all to the majority of people who watch anime because I have never met ANYONE who is that obsessed in my life.
Btw, Anyone wanting to give anime a try, watch any one of these:
Code Geass
Death Note
Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood
