It has new and interesting themes and stories could be told in less than 15 minutes in animes. Characters are funny and witty.

Mabey you should try watching REAL anime and not the horrible dubbed crap that comes on cartoon network instead.

Why is anything "cool"? Because it lacks heat energy, obviously! So remember to turn on the heating while watching anime or you might freeze to death!

Maybe we don't care enough to go through all that trouble. Do you expect someone who doesn't like something to go out of his/her way to find a version of it that they can't even understand without subtitles?

Eh, because the heroes aren't restricted by actual physical laws, so they can be drawn doing anything, and have it look good, not... you know, crappy.

imo anyone who watches/plays/listens to/reads anything just because it's "cool" shouldn't do it in the first place...i watch anime because i enjoy the story, and characters, nto because it's "cool"

I love anime for the new fun, quirky, strange, and interesting stories that are told through the medium. I admire the drawings and the art of it too. But, mostly its the stories and characters. I love live action movies, also that are similar to this. To me it doesn't matter if live action or anime, as long it is good. Also, I like endings to my series, unlike live action tv shows that never end except when they get canceled.

I very seldom watch anime, but every once in awhile I will. I mostly just watch it because of the Japanese language. That's the whole point for me, I can't watch anime in Englsih. I would rather watch a Japanese show with real people anyday over anime though.
