All communities suck. The main appeal of it to non-nips is that it's different, that's it. It's like western tv, there are 10-15 types of shows that get made and the occasional unique one. But these 10-15 types are different from the 10-15 types you see on western tv. Television also works differently in Japan. For anime, publishers pay a studio to animate one of their IPs and pay a tv station to air it. This means that, as long as you have money and the content can be aired on tv, you can air anything you want. Which means that you can take risks because you aren't being gatekeeped by profitability. The station wasn't making much money at 3am on Tuesdays so they don't care what airs. The publisher makes their money back by selling merchandise, dvd/bds, and the source material. In the west they target the largest demographic because it's all about ad revenue, in Japan they target the autistic people because they're the only ones that are going to buy figures and shit.
TL;DR; For various reasons anime is different enough from western television to make it interesting just because it's different.

Why do weebs have such a fucking hard-on for dubbed anime? Why do you shit all over people who want to hear a show in their native language instead of high pitched nonsense? Honestly, I fucking hate anime and I defy you to show me one whose plot couldn't have been written by a bunch of stoned eighth graders.

Yesterday's ep was filled with a lot of shit, though the new ones are usually pretty funny.

I agree that it's retarded, especially since people want to act like gatekeeping what is largely an embarrassing medium is stupid. Since it's nice ot take a break from having to read subtitles once in a while, a lot of dubs are perfectly watchable.
Kayden Sanchez
hard on for dubbed means they like it, so why would they shit on things they like?

Fuck, I'm a brainlet. Meant to say subbed anime. Goes to show you the extent of my familiarity with this shit.
Jack Jones
because most dubs are bad at best start up the steins gate dub, first thing you hear is mic feedback and awful mic quality switch to the japanese dub and you have studio quality w/ at least "ok" voice actors (often really good ones) that said, there are outliers (e.g. Death Note's dub is better than the original)
Brandon Watson
in short speak
its just more accurate, and fits together better i like subbed in general unless the dub fits more, plus the budget for english/spanish /other dubs can be hilariously small=bad
that being said its probs remnants of anime elitists whod force you to see subbed only anime that they deem to be "classics" and wouldnt speak to you unless you have seen them.
such people are very vocal
