A critical issue.

I already mentioned that I started with adult cartoons. I watched them. I liked them. Some of them I really, really liked. I'll keep watching. But I found an unreleased space opera (Stargate Atlantis), downloaded it, and started watching. The feeling is like a drug addict getting a new dose.
Anyway, what's my point? Anime is perfectly fine to watch if you want to; it's decent visual content, no worse than others, and in some ways even better. But it's not a given that it will become your life's passion and give you as much pleasure as it does for others. Find your own path.
