I remember one time I read an academic paper about the idea that anime appeals to those who don't fully grasp subtle human mannerisms and facial expressions because it often over simplifies or exaggerates them. This would explain why such a large portion of the fan-base is often at least slightly out of touch with normal western society. Sure some animes don't really fall into this and are great at subtlety but they're really the exception and not the rule. Personally whenever I try to watch anime I feel a little insulted at how simplified and dumbed down the human experience is. Still, it probably helps mild autistics understand the rest of humanity, even if just slightly.
