The fact that they're popular, apparently.

Which doesn't actually make any sense, but at least /a/ has one thing they can agree on.

>>149650093
Marketing

The plots are more or less easy to understand and you don't need a background in Japanese customs to understand what's going on

>>149650093
Generally:
Clear and appealing premise
Simple and cliche stories and characters
Fights and action
Low levels of moe or fan service

They appeal to westerners

They're good anime

>>149650093
Cancer is popular

You've got your cause and effect mixed up hipster friend

Definitely not. Cancer is popular, but it isn't the only thing that is popular. That is to say, there are popular series that are not cancer

>>149650093
Have various elements that pull casuals in. Also the only one out of that list that I liked is FMA the rest are shit.

In what way

>>149650093
>Male hero
>Action
>Fast conflict
>World building
>No SOL
>No moe
>No heavy fanservice
>No school seting

More appealing for a broad public

>>149650093
Plenty of people only know anime was that featured on Toonami/WB/Fox and a few bothered to watch gurren lagann on sci-fi.

>No SOL
>No moe
>No heavy fanservice

Sounds to me like you're just describing anime that isn't fucking trash moeshit here, Anon.

>>149650093
It aired on Toonami.

I want to IMPREGNATE NICO NICO

>>149650093
I'd like to watch Nico Nico get fucked by a dog

>>149650093
Evangelion and Seraph of the End were my gateway animes, My weeb friend is a huge faggot...

>>149650093
The same thing that makes any anime popular anywhere. Advertising.

>>149650093
>easily accessable
>lots of episodes
>fantasy setting
>violence
>little referential humor or "sexual content"

>>149650093
They're popular with niggers and/or normie whites.

>>149650093
You forgot to add Sakurasou and Shigatsu. For some reason every time I see these shows being praised it's always coming from someone who watched less than 20 anime.
