I am not categorical about this issue. This is just a personal approach, one that I find works well with people who dislike anime.
This is just my own pragmatic “solution” of sorts. It allows me to recommend Perfect Blue, Jin-Roh, The Sky Crawlers, Memories (to people who I think would enjoy them of course) by saying that “these pieces are animated, but they are more like a movie that happens to use animation, not an anime.” And it works.
Some B-movie are actually pretty good have interesting concepts. Even the bad ones can have redeeming quality (80s aesthetic).
The clips in the article are about as generic as you can get.
