Personally, I'm torn. I've seen some anime that I enjoyed, but I've also seen some truely dreadfull things out there. I do, however, despise all these people who are changing everything to flow anime-style, when a bit of originality would go a long way. Take The Triplettes of Belleville, for example. An animated French movie with a truely unique art style. I love it. As they said in one of the ads, "Neither American Disney, nor Japanese Anime." Good show, really.
I don't read Manga, so I have no real oppinion on that, but from what I've seen on the book store shelves, I'm not missing much.
And finally, to answer Raisin's ponderings: Probably never.
