I'll say this. Anime is a style, not a genre (as OB1 would be quick to point out himself). You can only say you don't like stuff animated, but you can't claim to not like the stories of "anime" as a general thing, because animation is as diverse in stories and plots as anything else. Of course, you wouldn't know that watching CN because they kinda stick with only a couple genres. Still, it's diverse enough to give you a hint of the amount of genres they have over there in anime. It's just a lot cheaper to make animation generally than to go about hollywood style special effects, not to deride the form, but that's pretty much the case.
Just a question, have you seen Spirited Away? If so, did you actually UNDERSTAND the movie? Did you just think "okay so a girl has to save her parents and herself from an evil witch" or did you actually understand the deeper meaning of what was going on?

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
