Pretty much. Even in America, while it's not bad to say you like certain cartoons, if you were a complete otaku about them you'd be shunned. The thing you aren't noting are shows aimed at otaku, filled with perverse fantasies and female characters who focus on a specific stereotype that caters to the fanbase. Any regular person who isn't an otaku will see this as disgusting and terrible to what should be a kid-oriented medium. Imagine the same thing for american cartoons and all the groups screaming "Think of the children!"

I'm not trying to say that there isn't depth in anime at all. Legend of the Galactic Heroes is probably the best written story in any medium. However, the average show people watch has very little depth or is so full of pretentiousness that the depth that is in the show is only based around what the writers view.

I wouldn't say it has a very broad audience, but there are shows that allow it to appeal to a broad audience. People who like history and politics may like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, but odds are will find almost everything else in anime as shit except for a couple of other shows.

The original idea is that almost all of anime isn't very deep, though there are some notable and magnificent exceptions, and is primarily for kids/teens. The general public, in turn, views this as a medium for kids/teens and shuns otaku who center their life and fantasies around it.

I've found that OVAs such as Hellsing and Anime Movies such as Kara no Kyoukai are almost always superior to regular anime. Gurren Lagann is one of the few shows that manages to equal them and its final episodes looked like they could be on the big screen.

Samurai Jack has a lot of awesome content in it because it's so stylistic. Remember the ninja episode? Animation was freaking amazing.
