What's the fun in anime?

Everywhere I see people with either anime related clothing, posters, comics etc etc. Almost always it's a person who fulfills the socially awkward, overweight, 'ugly' stereotype. What makes anime fun? Why does it attract these kind of people?

This is not bait. I'm honestly looking for an answer.

It's not fun. Leave.

Anime is fun?

I'm a female and I love anime. Fuck off.

why the hate? not trying to offend people with the aforementioned stereotype

The same fun that is in cartoons and TV shows.

Anime is all trash or mediocre you fucking imbecile. You are in the wrong neighborhood bitch.

Its a semi entertaining medium that allows social outcasts to indulge in a bit of escapism. Whats not to understand?

Honestly, this The fact that can't understand that by yourself is just sad.

People who don't fit in are attracted by heterodox hobbies, and people who are attracted by heterodox hobbies don't fit in.

Well, a lot of great stories have been told and can only be told in anime

You can't describe something as abstract as fun. Fun things are fun.

Anime is not fun it's just plain trash.

Well most people here are adults I guess. You don't watch Spongebob, Phineas and Ferb or Dexter's Laboratory, right? What makes anime stand out from all the other cartoons?
