all i see are your opinions why it's bad
alongside a lot of bs
you make it sound like anime is all about the animation when i very highly doubt people watch it just for the animation, i sure as hell know i don't cause i don't give a rat's ass about that as i watch it for the story
Still only see opinions? I gave you concrete real life examples of anime and explained (albeit briefly because you're not worth my time) why they are examples of formulaic, shallow garbage art.

i've never considered anime high quality visual art because i know most of it is animated in a way that would save the animation studios some money, and requires minimal effort to draw. however, anime is not 100% visual art and should not be judged as such. storytelling, characterization etc should also be part of your criticism (though i agree the vast majority of anime and any other medium has shoddy writing and a lot of cheese to it). the OP does not take into account this fact making his judgment invalid and incomplete. his belittling attitude towards those who disagree doesn't help either.
to those making the subjectivity argument - please don't bother with it. i could call the turd i took yesterday a masterpiece and come up with a million reasons to support this idea but ultimately it doesn't mean i put in a lot of effort to create the thing. that's why we have to have set standards by which we compare and judge things.
I've said numerous times that I'm talking about the animation aspect, not the storytelling.
I mentioned that anime is cheap to produce because anybody can draw it. Production studios love this anime shit because it's so easy to turn out manga after manga after manga.
So actually I've taken both those factors into account. However, I still think that even the best anime out there is mediocre.
And good turd analogy.
