You ever feel that anime as a whole is just a hyperbolization of adolescence, a fantasy-depiction of normal childhood specifically of the japanese people? I know this isn't true of all anime, but it's very probably true for most of them... this thought actually scares me, the idea that the majority of anime out there is depicting something concrete, geographically concerned, and that my commitment towards it is misplaced, that I attribute something to it which it doesn't actually have, that by viewing it through the lens of such anime-based communities as 4chan I have mentally exaggerated its nicheness and made it into a more serious thing than it would otherwise be to me. This drives me MAD... that there are japanese spongebob enthusiasts and that I might be their equivalent of such people.

The best way to go about anime is to not pigeonhole yourself into only liking anime, because then you start watching shitty anime because you already watched everything of note. Then your an anime fan. Watch only what interests you. Read only what interests you. Listen to only which interests you.

Well yeah, of course. That this would distress you is kind of ridiculous. One could argue Tolstoy and Dostoevsky concretely concerned with intellectual upper class-men in the 18th century geographically located in Russia. Doesn't mean a universal can't be received in the particular.
Just stick to good anime and post your irrelevant blogshit on the right board next time.

I’ve always found anime strangely inspirational. It makes you wanna bring some of the good you fell when you watch into the your real life (like psychedelics). It’s the opposite approach of something like Dostoevsky or Tarkovsky that makes you want to change your life by making you feel bad.

Anime is a much broader form of media with a wider a range of audiences than western cartoons. Of course there are tons of shitty highschool anime, but there are also tons of shitty young adult novels. Neither of these make either medium inherently less serious or valuable, just watch or read the actual good parts of them

Evangelion specifically was pretty anti-power fantasy, so there are obvious exceptions.
0079 Gundam is better btw.

I don't think that is the case SpongeBob is not made to appeal to "autistic" people who seek to relive their lost years in highschool vicariously.

Don't pretend you aren't falling into the exact consumerist niche the producer are aiming towards.
