It's not easy to control and everything has it's own set of policies. Just because you are not aware of them doesn't mean there aren't any. Even manga pacing can be slowed down by introducing more battle scenes or background stories. I don't see any difference.
I would pick the community to have more intellect. Most of the arguments I see doesn't make sense at all and people just try to show off their knowledge in anime but doesn't realize they are just clowns jumping around, when they actually search for their so called, said facts.
Most of the popular anime are for teenagers but most of the anime watchers are in the range 18-44, according to the latest statistics in Google. That explains a lot about how different the demographics are.
I don't read manga a lot but if something were to capture my attention, I wouldn't mind reading it infront of others. There is no point in pleasing others when you are miserable
You need to check the local stores first like I have been telling you to. Those novels, manga would have already gone through all the process and as the purchases are in bulk the shipping cost will reduce. Try to get them from the local stores and only if it's not available, you can order them...
Flawed and even the most heroic actions can have minute negative impacts. It's normal and I would never dislike an anime character based on such flaws and when I do like an anime character, it's because they have some of my traits.
There could be and it's possible for someone to get disgusted by anime and it could be a trauma induced one as well. I never give anime recommendations to people unless they were the ones requesting me to do so.
Is there any particular difference? Apart from the few cultural references from time to time, I don't see the difference and we shouldn't give attention to the origin and differentiate them based on it.
If you set one, then there will be or else there wouldn't be one. It's as simple as that and I don't get the obsession of age for anime fans as I tend to see the same content all over various places.
I don't judge a character based on what they do and what they don't. The personality gets set after going through a lot or growing up in the wrong environment. I will never judge a person or a character enough to make me cringe.
