93% of anime is Garbage

To be honest, that is a lofty statement to make, and if I look at my MAL, it probably is not true at all, but there is a reason why I make this exaggeration.

I came up with this dumb statistic when I was talking with the current president of the gaming council.  The conversation ended up about the decline of anime, and his brother told him that "There is no reason to like anime, 99% of it is garbage anyway."  To give some background, the president's brother was really into anime, and was a main inspiration as to why he is a massive anime fan.

I gave that some thought, and I started to agree with it; most anime is in fact, garbage that is there to make a quick buck. Off the top of my head, I can list so many anime that is just absolute trash, but even though I know this for a fact, why do I still watch something that is 99% awful, the answer I came up with was that "the other 1% is worth staying for."

I changed it up to be 93% of anime is garbage because, I believe that the other 1% of anime had good intentions, but it never worked out well. As for the other 98%, I still think that there is still some good to okay anime in that massive percentage; but I am thinking about this as a whole. How does the whole world think about Love Live! or Wake Up Girls!. They think is garbage, which makes it part of the 98.

 I would say that 3% is for people that really like anime, and can get behind cultural barriers, and the other 2% is a niche sort of thing where you really just need to like that thing in general to actually enjoy it.

Just Remember that this is all an exaggeration, I will make an actual chart from my MAL one day to see how it actually is from my personal experience
