I mean no offense, but I just don't get it.

I like Sci-Fi, westerns, action shows (like CSI), and paranormal stuff (like UFO hunters), but what is the attraction for adults to these animated Japanese shows?

When I was a kid I liked the Transformers, Thundercats, HeMan, GI Joe, the Looney Toons, and that sort of thing, but I grew out of it.

I ask this question because it seems like everywhere I go online people rave about this stuff and I'm considering giving it a try, but I'm not sure where to begin.
