The guy does bring up some interesting points but I'm not saying anime actually needs to be popular. People just need to be accepting of the fact that it's there. I mean, I can accept that there are action movies who's formula hasn't changed, only gotten more flashy, since before I was even born. Anime does change though, and it can be flashy but tell a good story at the same time. I don't hate action flicks right off just because they are formulaic, and while anime does have a few formulas it likes to follow, it often uses those as a basis and then does something you don't expect and can actually really end up liking.
