What makes the writing in anime (as opposed to literature) seem so embarrassing to /lit/? In clear terms, without using expressions like "It's targeted at children" (invalid because Treasure Island was meant for its author's child). What about its writing or scholarship makes it something that /lit/ constantly mocks as "not true art" as compared to things like Moby Dick, Anna Karenina, Lord of the Rings, or The Book of the New Sun? I am asking to better understand the position of /lit/erature enthusiasts and not trying to convince anyone of anime's worth. As background knowledge, I did not have an education in literature during schooling beyond required high school reading.
Posting this here because a janitor deleted my thread from /lit/.
