that's another thing about anime that makes it so easily accessible. It's versatility.
Greater majority of people who don't like it or haven't bothered to try really dismisses it as naked teenage girl ninja porn, aliens powering up for 3 hours or pokemon.
Really, every genre of every story you can ever imagine is in there.
Hell, I used to make a game of it. Don't like anime? Tell me what you like to do/watch and I'll give you a show that you'll love.
For instance: NBA Finals just ended? Give those people Kuroko no Basket, 3/4 of them would be hooked on "chinese cartoons" forever.
