A couple of things:
-The culture around anime makes me cringe
-A lot of anime, including some of the better, higher quality ones, sexualize what are supposed to be underage girls. And a big part of anime culture is obsession with 12 year old cartoons with massive tits.
- The vast majority of anime, not just the major or higher quality ones, have shit storylines. Full of boring stupid filler and, my least favorite thing ever, 30 minutes of exposition in the middle of a fight or battle.
-Did I mention I hate the cringe-worthy culture around it? It's the primary reason.
-Every popular media has its shit fans. Sports, video games, Metal fans, ...Conan O'Brien fans... etc. I just ignore those and enjoy the media without reading the comments.
-Some anime sexualizes minors, some anime. A great deal of them don't. You must have just seen the wrong ones or something.
-I agree the exposition based storytelling can get annoying. It's what turned me off from, say, Attack On Titan. Sometimes the exposition is done well, other times it's not. And really, it's mostly just shounen anime that has the melodrama. Seinen anime doesn't so much. But that stuff won't give you an adrenaline rush as much, either.
