when you hit 13-17 you're too old to watch the shit you been watching but live-action is still more or less boring. The regular american action shows are pretty tame and still trying to sell toys, and usually really condescending or just really terrible because they're still trying to appeal to 8 year olds too.

meanwhile anime has all the gore, deep plots that you're into cause you're into puberty and full of emotions and hormones, and usually more interesting art thats different than what you're used to.

and you can really just grow with it cause they make stuff geared toward whatever age you are. They even make stuff for the 40+ set. Every genre. Every theme. Something for everybody.

They made Cowboy Bebop for niggas that don't like anime
