Have you ever succesfully gotten a person who was not a fan of anime to become a fan?

True, thing is though the same people who say anime is childish are the same people who love animated movies like Monsters inc, Lion King etc. How can they love them but at the same time turn around and call anime childish, FOH!

I think it's more about people feeling that its childish and less acceptable because it's not mainstream or well-known, so they see it solely as a cartoon with no nostalgic value like you would get from watching Tom & Jerry.

Other people just see all animated shows as childish, so even more adult-oriented animes don't interest them. Me, I like artwork and a good story, which is why I was so drawn (no pun intended) to DBZ as a kid. It was action-packed, and it was far more realistically drawn (as far as figure-drawing and landscape and what-not) than American cartoons (except Spiderman, that was well done too).

Check out a show called shadow skill its a great basic starter its short so you dont have to be dedicated to watching 100+ episodes like in dragon ball or one piece, if you like that then go from there.
