"Although not a theme per se, the complexity of plot in most anime is extraordinary. It demands the type of
analysis that hackers naturally apply to everything. Anime often puts the viewer into a situation, and then
provides small clues about the history and characters involved. It’s a lot like a logical puzzle or intellectual
game of the type that stimulates hackers.
Character depth is also an important element of anime. Anime fans differentiate anime characters from
the typical “good guy/bad guy” classifications. The good guys are not always good, and the bad guys are
not necessarily bad. This is very much in contradiction to Lisa Nakamura’s notion of “identity tourism”[10].
Only an extremely shallow survey of anime would give the impression that all the male characters are
warrior samurai types and all the female characters are geisha. Anime fans are intrigued by the depth of
the characters; often the depth is revealed in much the same way as the plot — through small clues spread
throughout the story."
all bullshit, all anime has shit stories and even shitier character development, the characters are so generic they have those terms tsun tsun and dere and so on, most anime is really manchildren trash
