The story is told (I'd love to confirm this but have been unable to) of a professor testifying before Congress of the work he had done on a project, and how proud he was that he how lowered the pH of the waste from 13 down to 7.  The congressperson then asks him:  "If you took the pH from 13 down to 7, why didn't you just take it all the way down to 0?"

"American cartoons place characters in situations; anime
places situations around characters.  Anime characters
are not like fictional characters but more like fictional
people; their actions stem directly from their personalities,
and not just as a means to move the story's plot
forward.  We are made to sympathize with them, and
not simply be entertained by them."
