Animation doesn’t mean that it’s for kids. A lot of popular anime literally is made for kids but that doesn’t mean animation in general = kids.
Tbf naruto is for children
True, they can be considered ''masterwork'' despite being childish. But it will always be considered childish/weird if a grown man is gravitating towards cartoons when you can find real movies or tv series that brings those messages as the one in OP. Those are way more similar to real life situations
me when I can do both 
Perfect Blue alone has deeper, more mature themes than 90% of the s*** Hollywood is pumping out. I wouldn’t write off animation entirely as medium. There are so many things you can achieve in animation that can’t be achieved in live action
Perfect Blue is great. The average anime is about 3% as deep as Perfect Blue. Which is fine! Ninja Scroll is entertaining and wonderfully animated. Ghost in the Shell has incredible vibes. Starting a kids television show with 220 episodes is just so much less interesting.
Try some of the manga. Watch a Kyoshi Kurosawa movie. Read a Kobo Abe book. Listen to some Ryo Fukui. You could do all of that in the span of one season of that show.
Further proves this guy is surrounded by the worst people imaginable. He tries anime and they allow him to start with Naruto?
It's one of the best starter anime to watch?

You're kind of not wrong lol. Anime literally was kid's cartoons, cultural response, and cultural propaganda to post-WW2.
It just grew into a medium that can be aimed for adults or children now.
However, a lot of people are ignoring the fact most popular anime comes from manga published for kids and pre-teens

Very true they’re meant for kids but give deeper subtle meaning so that it doesn’t feel like a lecture. Kinda like Avatar the last airbender lots of good philosophical messages
I watched run with the wind this year too

No anime that is like 300+ episodes is a good starter anime to watch man stop trolling.
If you gonna get someone into anime you keep it short, sweet, and engaging at first.

Weird, possibly racist, that you feel this way about anime specifically. Do you think this way about Invincible, Rick and Morty, South Park? That they're for children because they're cartoons?

You are very dumb considering you don't know the difference between ''childish'' and ''for children'', but I just checked your username, and it all makes sense now that I know which user you are. Tough to keep up when you constantly change that s***.

Okay so you're just racist then. Because anime is childish/weird for grown men to be into even though the content/subject matter can be mature but you don't think the same about western cartoons. Got it
