The only thing those 2 productions really have in terms of commonality is that they're both Japanese animation. That's it. Anime is merely medium, not a genre. You can tell any sort of story in anime you could in a live action movie or a cartoon show. Westerns, sci-fi, horror, drama, romance, slice-of-life, comedy, wholesome family films, mystery, action, capeshit, porn, literally any fucking thing you want.
And there are thousands upon thousands to choose from, many of which avoid a lot of the shit Jerry claims to hate in anime or predate it entirely.
Frankly I don't see how he can claim any reason other than hating the entire medium itself. Weebs haven't retroactively gone back and ruined every anime that ever existed. There's a good 30 or 40 years of Japanese animation that predates the rise of the modern weeb, so the excuse that he hates it because weebs ruined it just doesn't fly for me.
Either Jerry just hates all anime without any clear rationality because it's a dumbass kneejerk reaction to seeing one bad anime, is racist against the Japanese (which is likely given that he's all but basically called the entire nation pedophiles before), or is just so colossally lazy, stupid, and stubborn that he refuses to put in the maybe 45 minutes that finding and anime that suits his tastes would take.
the interesting thing is that he claims to LOVE slice of life
guess what animation medium has made TONS of those?
