I disagree. People who say ridiculous things like this about anime haven't even really watched it, and that bugs me. The variety of anime types is incredibly vast, so, of course, there are certain anime series out there that are aimed at younger crowds; however, it is also true that there are anime series aimed at all other ages. There are actually more series intended for teenage & adult fans than for the younger ones. For the most part, Japanese anime are made with more complex plots and concepts than cartoons from other places of the world, a lot to which children wouldn't understand. Tokyo Mew Mew might apply to your friends' argument, but until your find someone under 8 years old who can fully understand the concept and the message of Death Note or Puella Magi Madoka Magica, I stand by my theory with confidence. Not all American cartoons are for children, either (ex: Family Guy, American Dad), nor are all Japanese cartoons (anime). Many anime series are also not appropriate to show to children. It would be unacceptable for them to watch something like Elfen Lied or to-LOVE-ru. Anime is for all ages. There is every kind of anime you can think of, and I guarantee that anyone can like at least ONE.
