You basically took the words right out of my mouth.
If I don't want to think and just unwind from a tiring day I might look to Spongebob or some other cartoon for a dose of insipid comedy. I've never identified with any of the characters I've watched in Spongebob, nor have I ever been moved to tears by an episode.
Anime is more complex because it has to be. Unlike the cartoons/animations of the west, anime isn't just for children. It's a staple of viewing by teens and adults, as well. I enjoy that I can watch almost any "slice of life" anime and find myself relating to a situation or a character. I guess that's the appeal of anime to me.
Plus... I'm a sucker for bishounen. *sighs*
