This isn't like asking why people like Space Fantasy movies, it's like asking why people like movies. Do you not like Hentai, do you not like fantasy anime, do you not like science fiction anime, or drama anime, children's anime, romance anime? I could go on and on. I like action movies, whether they are animated or not, I like science fiction, being animated has little to do with it. What first drew me to anime was the fact that they do stuff on a scale that is not possible in live action. They did battle scenes much larger than Helm's Deep decades ago with anime, they did detailed science fiction for years, You still don't see alot of detailed science fiction in live action (how many sci fi movies take place indoors or on just a couple of sets.) I also like the fact that anime isn't held down by silly political correct crap or the whole it's for kids bit, in the GI Joe cartoon everybody had a gun and nobody ever got shot...... give me a break. If American cartoons were more realistic I'd love them too (the original Jonny Quest cartoon is my all time favorite). Saying I think DragonBall Z is bad so anime is bad is like saying Battlefield Earth was a bad movie therefore all movies are bad. There is as much anime out there as there is American live action shows and it is just as diverse. There are cultural differences but I'm sure to alot of people worldwide American movies make little sense, heck alot of American movies make little sense to Ameriacans.You will never get a decent answer to this, it's like asking why do people like music, it's too vague and generalized to get a definate answer. Not to mention that Everybody likes different things, thats just part of life, just because you don't like something that doesn't make it bad, it's all about personal opinion and taste, and those things differ from person to person.</blockquote>
