If you're over 14 then no.
Yeah... Except, No.
Anime is a great medium that sure beats movies and western animation made by certain people in delivering it's idea. I'm not saying it's all good, but if all your knowledge about anime comes from shit like Naruto/Pokemon and other shows they tend to show in North America, after completely butchering whatever good was in those shows in the first place, then really, your opinion means nothing.
Grave of Fireflies. That's a fucking masterpiece. Incredibly sad and dramatic, based on a fictious novel about the end of WW2 in Japan.

And just about any movie by Studio Ghibli, especially with Hayao Miyazaki. Nausicaa, Mononoke, Spirited Away, Laputa. These things are masterpieces.
Oh I thought we were talking series. I love Miyazaki. Spirit Away and Princess Mononoke were classics, and no my opinion does not mean nothing. My opinion means exactly the same as it did before. Disagreeing with my opinion does not make it worthless.
So you're saying that if someone's opinion is so blatantly wrong like for example "Jews are inferior and should be killed!", they are still entitled to it?
Bad examples aside, sure, opinion is opinion. But saying something like "Hur if you're over , <insert media/specific example>, then just no" is just blatantly stupid. There are millions of people enjoying things that aren't made for their demographic. And, secondly, there is clearly statistical evidence that people do, in fact, like it.
It would be like me saying "Twilight is shit and nobody likes it" (And that technically speaking is pretty much my opinion about it) but while it's an opinion, it's not a valid point because statistics show that it does indeed have a huge fanbase, however horrible it may be.
