I like good anime - like Fate/Zero or Psycho Pass or Evangelion or Mushi-shi or Berserk (though more-so the manga with Berserk.) I don't watch shonen or slice-of-life garbage.
Yeah, I sort through a lot of bad anime to find the stuff I actually like. You're right that it's true for just about anything. I'll honestly get into anime about as much as I will with any other source of entertainment, but it's occasionally well worth the trouble. The same goes for just about any variety of show on Netflix, of course. So much crap with the uncommon sparkling gem.
Slice-of-life is not garbage, though
