I kinda feel the same way... some anime is really weird. However, I don't think this applies to all of it. I like anime and manga myself, but I usually only read/watch the ones that are a bit more realistic. (E.G. actually takes place in the real world, with characters that look and act like real people.) I pretty much hate all of the shoujo/magical girl animes, lol. They usually have really crappy plots anyway. (No offense.) If I'm gonna watch one, it has to be pretty stellar. It seems like most anime is either sickeningly cute, or really dark. And some of the crazier fans are so annoying. I like manga better, anyway. Anime always screws up the plot and ends it prematurely.

I actually sort of like that anime and manga are darker then regular cartoons. Well, not when it's all gothic and overly violent, but I think a good anime or manga should showcase the emotions of the characters. Western animation doesn't really do that, it's more about humor, and that's what sets anime apart. (I'm not saying this is bad; they are completely different styles and have different standards along with them) When I come away crying after reading manga it feels like an accomplishment.

Ugh I'm ranting again. Anyway, just my opinion. I don't mean to offend anyone who's obsessed with shoujo anime of something like that, lol.
