All anime are made for either kids or nerds.
Once you come to terms with this fact and yet can still enjoy this pastime, you are one step closer to not being a weeaboo.
It's amazing how often people will object. Is it so hard to just say "I honestly don't care who they're made for. I watch it and that's all that matters"? I do.

I honestly don't care who it's written or made for, Fag. I enjoy it, I collect it, I on-sell it when it gets old enough(and if the value is high enough) Anime and manga tend to find their own markets besides the ones that they were initially conceived for, and the same can be said for many other products that are not designed for entertainment.
Now, the same could be said about comics, Disney(whose target market actually ARE children) dolls, action figures and many other intellectual properties. Cartoons like Spongebob hardly have ANY elements that stimulate mental development in children, whereas cartoons like TinTin actually have referances to real-world issues(Herge using this as a medium to express his own views) As opposed to this, Anime/manga like Chrono Crusade and Hellsing have VERY strong religious themes. Anime like Please Twins...well, let's not go there.:p

So are comic books. :p
Good thing I'm a nerd (I prefer the term geek, though). I can enjoy both.

... Kids or nerds?
Well Berserk doesn't fit into the kids catergory... how is overtly nerdish?
Evocative chracters, beautiful artwork, compelling storyline... I'm not seeing what makes it nerdish.
Wait you said anime, are we including manga under that title?
Also I am taking a guess that you hail from 4Chan, judging by your name?

You don't know anime that well, do you?

Then you have stuff like Ikkitousen/Battle Vixens.:p
Heck, even the Kamen Rider Spirits Manga has folks getting spears through them, getting kicked in half, blown to pieces. tons of stuff like that.
To say nothing of Guyver.

Or Hokuto no Ken, which is even more brutal.

Made for Otaku. Point stands.

Superman is made for geeks. *Chan boards are made for young, immature people with no life. You point again? :evilsmile
Same argument, different material is all. And these arguments can be made for or against just about anything you can think of. It's an all-encompassing statement that is in no way subjective nor/can will there be any definitive conclusion to any debate that is drawn up around these elements. In a nutshell, your statement is the same as "Cavaliers are fag cars," or "only V8's are fast."

You know, I made the mistake of borrowing all four Urotsukidoji movies and watching them end to end while getting drunk.
^^^So did you get a boner or just bad dreams?:D
Reptisaurus!

So are comic books. :p
Not Manga. :p
There's plenty of Japanese comics aimed at housewives or businessmen. Some of it even got translated into English. (http://the-isb.blogspot.com/2006/07/unbearable-radness-of-project-x.html) And even in American comics... I guess you can argue that Maus is aimed at an intellectual audience who still reads comics, but that doesn't exactly scan with my definition of nerd. Maybe 75% overlap on the ven diagram... But not a hundred.

You need to read my first post again.

And how is your first post relevant in that it is:

And clearly meant to provoke flames? I'm calling this one, *channer. Reported.

C'mon folks, play nice.
Tripfag, stop stirring up trouble and trying to bait posters. We call that trolling around here, and such behavior is not welcome.
