BTW, I had an anime freak walk up to where I was cutting some CAT5 and just start reading the asian characters on my cable tester. I'm scarred for life.

I'll second that "anime sucks"
It's more like "Hey check out our great graphics. What? The plot sucks? It's barely entertaining? That's okay, because, uh, did we mention to check out our great graphics?"

Okay, I need a list of reasons why anime sucks guys
I'd watch Ghost in the Shell, that wasn't too bad for a anime.

The reason most people won't like anime, is the sheer fact it's a cartoon, and cartoons in general haven't had much of an impact on North American entertainment. The average notion of a North American cartoon is something by Disney and the like...I've watched the odd anime here and there, but that's basically why North Americans especially don't take a liking to anime, simply because it's not a North American / Western entertainment style that's developed here, rather it was brought from the East over. But that's my two cents.

The only one that I liked so far was coyboy bebop. Everything else I have seen, I could have gone without.

Warning: several half-rants:
If you like all of any single genre of anything...you have no taste, not even bad taste. I will soon be off to catch the last 2hrs of Adult Swim, having skipped Futurama, so you know part of my position (OK, I will skip Inuyasha). However, I have yet to see any asian movie or television/video series that, despite some great stuff like Cowboy Bebop, can compete with the likes of Fantasia and The Dot And the Line. Unfortunately Lilo & Stitch is the closest this side of the world has come to getting back to making truly good work.
So let's see...
watch some Cowboy Bebop, Trigun & FLCL before you make any rash decisions.
Oh yeah, if you can still stand VHS, Robot Carnival is great. Being a God Damned American, I'm still waiting for an English dubbed DVD. Video should go with audio, even if it is inferior audio, instead of text. If I have to read, why should I bother watching?

Edit: oh, and Spirited Away. I don't like any new Disney stuff, but they did a great job dubbing (and marketting).

My favorite anime is Escaflowne. I like a few others but many of these cartoons suck ass or are just too weird.

Being a God Damned American,

Hmm, you can always become a wannabe japanophile like all the other lanky nerds who secretly call themselves Ryu. I knew this kid who asked people to call him Ryu. Pathetic freak. He used to impress middleschool kids playing Street Fighter - as a junior in highschool.

I am assuming you mean that cartoon DRAMAS haven't had much of an impact on North American entertainment.
