Well, that depends on the anime. I think some kids' anime is marketed toward a broad demographic, or at least deliberately inclusive of a periphery demographic, but some, at least in Japan, would get you the same reaction if you liked it as somebody who likes ponies gets here (not necessarily hostile, but definitely "you do know that's for little kids, right?") And some of those ones have huge fandoms here- it's really just the difference between kids' shows that come from here, and kids' shows from somewhere else that can be rationalized as not really kids' shows?

IIRC pony fans started out being pretty chill about their fandom, but as soon as a weird little subculture started to form around it, they got kind of stupid.
