Yeah, I'm way less judgmental of anime than I am with shows and movies with actors. There's only a handful of movies I can enjoy watching, and less tv shows. For the same reason you said for anime, really. Low standards, everything is constantly the same, with a new face and poor acting. Hate the effects, lack of thought, and etc.
For me, it's far easier to deal with that in anime than people who get paid thousands to create such crap like reality tv, Breaking Bad, USA tv shows, Twilight, etc, etc.
