Fans shouldn't be peeved when material made to satisfy them first and foremost isn't welcomed by audiences with no obligation to meet that material halfway
Are we doing others a disservice when we recommend to them a series they might not be able to afford or complete?
Do the impossibly high standards some fans set for anime come from the material itself, or from the way they're introduced to it?
How people see anime, as genre or medium, says as much about how we label cultural experiences generally as it does about the beholders
Does introducing people to anime make them into fans, or does anime fandom arise more spontaneously than that?
