The best answer is to live and let live. Some people like chocolate, some like vanilla. If you push too hard you will alienate your friends. Enjoy the things you do have in common.

No, seriously, now everybody thinks anime's all about absurd hairdos, bulging muscles, and guys beating the crap out of each other for vaugley defined reasons. People also dislike the fanboys (otaku), When they call it a cartoon, they're usually like "dude, why is your like revolving around this, it just a cartoon."

I'm just curious to know, what would you introduce people to anime with? People complain about action anime's like Naruto, Bleach, & DBZ ruining it for new comers but if you think about it, they stand on the same level of interest as any any anime for a newcomer. There's comedy anime like Haruhi, School Rumble, and Azumanga Daioh that people would just see as childish as most American cartoons nowadays. Then there's all the nudity/ oversized fake ass tits and features that would also turn people off from anime, due to the fact that a girl can't look that good in real life making it way too over the top. Then there's mindfuck anime like Lain & Evangelion that probably unless their a sci-fi fanatic will put people to sleep. Then there's slice of life anime which I doubt any sane person would be interested in at first, "A Dramatic Cartoon?", no offense but just saying that makes me laugh. It's not about which anime is considered great opposed too anime that is considered horrid, at first glance you'll probably know weather you'll like it or not. For a newcomer something like Haruhi is just as unattractive and childish as DBZ!
And BTW doesn't anime mean "japanese animation" and cartoon mean "american animation" What makes them so different? They're both forms of animations/art, in one way or another, and are just getting produced by a different country. I honestly fail to see why people saying "dude, why is your like revolving around this, it just a cartoon." offends people when they HAVE gotten their point across. They're basically telling you that Your obsessing over some form of animation and need to obviously go outside and live a little
