Is it because it may be a stigma, that if one likes anime people will think they are geeks or losers? Or perhaps it's supposed to be for kids only and not for adults?
That was the trend with videogames in the past-that it was meant for kids, but statistics show that the average age of a gamer is much higher than people thought in the past. Gaming is much more mainstream than before.
Anime is animation and animation here usually means cartoons. People here mostly associate cartoons with children, but things are changing. Many adults like The Simpsons, Family Guy, etc. Perhaps because it is not American, wide dissemination is a bit more difficult thus not getting the wide attention it could.
