You could say the same about those who watch, films, TV shows, play Games, read books and play sports.

Anime may be a bit weird but there are some that are better than most TV shows out there.

That’s an opinion, not a fact.
Why do people waste their time watching their favourite tv shows? Why do people waste time watching films at the cinema? Why do people waste time listening to music? Why do people waste time following sport? Why do people waste time? For all those things, it's because they enjoy it. Life is far too boring if we can't learn to find things we like and have fun. You might not understand the appeal of anime, another person might not understand the appeal of science fiction and so on. We all have differing opinions on everything. Anime is fun to some and uninteresting to others. Deal with it.

How is it any different from watching a tv show or playing a sport? You do it because you enjoy it.

Thank you
same reason why people waste time (in ur opinion) watching shows like grey's anatomy and game of thrones.

only difference is perception

people who watch anime are viewed as creepy/childish. (not saying its true)
Moved to TV shows. :indiff:

It's just another Entertainment medium, nobody's forcing you to join in. :dontknow:

fair enough if you are a child but adults watching cartoons is a waste of time. The average adult does not sit watching the Teletubies.

Everything you've stated is an opinion! It's all subjective. Everything that isn't directly productive wastes time.

Anime is broad. Simple as, if you think its immature? Try shows that are classified as seinen and not shounen as such shows have much more dark themes and consist of less censoring and generally containing more violence and gore or sex. Shows such as Inuyashiki, AoT and kuzu no honkai are much more suggestive and depressing
Shows such as family guy and southpark are in the same boat as they are cartoons but not meant for kids.

Very narrow and close minded view point. Many people derive pleasure and meaning from the art they enjoy, and just because you cannot ever understand it, does not make it meaningless.

Also you're implying from the outset that someone who watches cartoons doesn't have his life in order. I'm smelling some projection.

Many adults enjoy the lion king, or legend of the galactic heroes, or any other animated story. Story telling supersedes the medium in which it is told.
