I think you make a good point in that yes, just like film and television in general, not everything can be fantastic. That is an excellent point, however, Danicus, I happen to know you hate 99% of everything! lol.

I have known a lot of people who judge the entirety of the anime medium without ever seeing an episode of any show. I have even had people give me dirty looks just for mentioning anime when I know damn well that they have never seen it. Many times it's as stupidly simple as,

"Geeks watch anime and therefore it must be uncool so why give it a chance?"

I'll agree pretty solidly with Dan in that anime is a medium like any other that has produced wonderful works and terrible garbage that should never see the light of day. I love novels, but that doesn't mean there isn't fiction out there that's laughably terrible.

I say that in any medium we should appreciate the good and either ignore or make fun of the bad. Hentai jokes and clever Dragonball Z parodies belong in the same realm as a good Barbara Kingsolver rant.

Hey, im fully informed and I STILL hate probably 99% of anime. (oops, sorry, i promised myself i'd start calling it Japanimation again. im bringing it back.)

I view Japanimation just like i view normal TV. There may be a hundred thousand shows to watch, but most of them are going to be total crap.
Cowboy Bebop, Irresponsible Captain Tylor, Hikaru No Go, Record of Lodoss War... all solid shows.
But for each amazing cartoon, there's about forty Dragonball Z and One Piece type shows that make me want to genetically engineer Godzilla and put an end to the Yellow Menace once and for all.
