First line. First post. Read it. I'm saying that since animation is targeted at children then, lo and behold, the vast majority of it is "childish". If I say this derisively it's because I've been watching anime for years and I'm getting bored of the vast majority of it. It's not like music, where if you're bored of the mainstream all you have to do is do a little digging and you find fifty billion bands that play fifty million different styles. With anime your choices are much more limited. Which is why I stick with manga these days.
