Well there are a few people that watch anime among my friends and I'm lucky to have them (cause it's awesome to have someone to talk about animes). What I believe is very sad is the fact that most people didn't even watch a real anime once. They're just thinking about Pokémon and other animes they maybe watched during their childhood. From that they conclude that all animes are for kids only. It would be great if they at least try and see if they could like anime, but I guess most people won't do that
