Everybody likes anime. Right?! Anime caters to all ages and intelligence levels. As an experiment, we interviewed children ranging from six to nine years old and adults who are still fascinated with the wonder of tying a shoe. Surprisingly the adults and children all came up with the same...

10: It's pretty.

9: It's cool.

8: It's fun to watch.

7: Peaches go well with it.

6: I like cottage cheese and peaches.

5: There are rad powers.

4: The mecha is awesome.

3: People bleed when they get hurt.

2: It subverts American conventions of story telling by tackling complex themes without talking down to its viewership, putting faith in the child's capacity to understand headier concepts and recognizing the adult's yearning for alternative forms of entertainment.

1: I also like apples and bananas.
