I just have yet to see any anime that interests me and I've know a lot of them. I know that superheroes are generic at first glance but the history and the meanings behind each hero is what makes them so beloved, and they don't get enough respect in my opinion, anime has tons of respect sometimes to the point where you get idiots who are Weeabos who just ruin it. Also I'm a comic book fan and there are plenty of non superhero comics. As for animation, the west has movies. I know a lot of people like anime on this, but the Guild is not specifically an anime role-playing website and it makes it less inviting to people who aren't interested in anime

I disagree that anime gets more respect than superheroes. The marvel movies and the Nolan batman movies have made superheroes legitimate now. I can walk into a room of people and say I'm a fan of superhero comics there is a good chance I can find someone who at least gets what I'm talking about. If I walk into a room of people and say I watch anime I get weird looks, and people assume you are a "weeaboo". Yes there is a lot of shitty anime, just as there are a lot of shitty comics or movies. I agree there is a bit of over-saturation of a certain type of anime here, specifically magical school and shounen style anime, but that is by no means representative of anime as a whole as you seem to imply it is.
