I used to like anime, but have fully moved to manga due to art preferences and time availability.
I dislike the juvenile underpinnings of many of these 'seasonal' anime that get a few seasons of generic tropes until it gets axed.
That being said, I also dislike how a medium gets chasitized for its content. Many anime have had profound impact on me and stand alongside movie/tv greats in the live action world.
I would love to see more creative explorations of the medium like Mob Psycho 100 did in the anime adaptation.
Lastly , anime does superhero and comedy better than anything the west's TV shows have to offer. Japan truly has a superior understanding of these genres.
