Because they hide heroine in between the frames.

Exaggeration of certain characteristics to an inhuman degree, making the characters more easily understood?

don't consume it
Logan Turner
Because it's good

nips cast evil spells to make it so

It's designed to be. Studios copy each other to try to get a piece of that sweet Otaku money pie. Each season iterates the perfection of that escapism fantasy with just enough novelty to keep that demographic buying merchandise. Whether intended or not, anime in its current form plays on many of the dopamine/serotonin functions of the brain. It's meant to be nothing more than a product that is consumed by an addict to help them forget about reality. And as soon as that addict is done, there's already a plethora of new shows with just enough novelty to let the addict numb themselves again with escapist fantasies. Just like a drug.

This.

Im gonna summarize this as best I can, but I'm sure someone here as seen this explanation before. They use the anime character's appearance that triggers certain feelings inside the brain. some being big booba (sex sells), or doll/baby-like features that trigger the parental part in us. You get a mix of both and that's a hell of a drug for the synapses. If you combine it with actual good aspects like story, overall visuals, and music then that makes it worse for your addiction.
tl;dr anime uses lines to trick your brain into feeling things
Brandon King

japan's rich tradition of stylized graphic art stretching back centuries. they took to modern cartooning like a duck to water. i'd also argue that the reason why the japanese were so successful at electronics was because their native aesthetic of things stored in orderly small boxes
Leo Turner
also like many things in japan anime to the western eye is at once familiar and alien. you're visually experienced in all the elements but their assemble is shockingly strange. it's basically the same effect that surrealism was shooting for
