I never said anything to do with how many quality anime come out, I'm saying it's hard to get western audiences to understand good anime when they don't even know what that means, how they are classified, and that anime are not designed for children, and in fact are often geared away from that audience in favor of YA-Adult, which is difficult for western audiences to comprehend because our rating systems leave anime alone for the most part, only sanitizing what we don't understand or leaving it alone and just translating it, but not trying to match up what it actually is in our own rating system.

The failure to do so leads to misunderstandings of what anime is that make it somewhat taboo to talk about in mainstream society.
