I had this on in the hotel basically the whole trip once I realized it existed. It was entertaining just having no fucking clue what was going on (since there were no subs) and making up our own stories instead

Why would I be jealous? We ain't in primary school anymore. Plus, I don't really watch anime these days.

We used to have that in the states but it went through severe network decay and died as it was too ahead of its time, this is something that was more appropriate for a 2010's anime environment not early to mid 00's.

If you built a time machine and traveled back to 2000 or so I might say yes.

Anime isn't a genre but a medium. That'd be like calling live-action a genre. Genres are action, horror, romance, mystery, comedy, etc.

"Animation" is considered a genre in the West though.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Film_genre

Basically, any given work can be part of multiple genres. Animation can indeed be one of them.

So yes, just like something can be "Comedy Western" or "Action Romance", you can have "Animated Horror", "Animated Mystery", "Animated Sci-Fi", and so on.

It mostly just plays junk for kids during the day and then a random assortment of stuff at night. Odds are pretty low that anything interesting will be on it at any given time. It would've been wild back in like 1996 though.

While true, that doesn't make a whole lot of sense and mostly just reflects that animation in the West has been relegated to certain genres and styles. A genre label should tell you something about the content of the piece in question. "Animation" just tells you what it will look like. Any further information you get from the label is just making assumptions based on trends in Western animation, which don't necessarily apply to anime (by virtue of the medium being treated differently in different cultures) and can therefore be pushed back against when the two are conflated.
