>>19323677To be fair, it isn't. I recently started watching anime and it's more about being able to tell an interesting story without needing to rely on studio production/a big budget to make. You can write out and make a story waaaay cheaper with anime than if you cast actors for a pilot or whatever. It gets to the point where it's just about budget. Imagine the cost of writing out 20 full scenes with actors for a live action show or simply illustrating it with paper every scene. The cheapness of production makes introducing interesting stories or ideas less risky.
