Anime isn't immune to criticism. It not as loud as Video Games or Comics. One of the main reasons is because Anime isn't mainstream (over here) and most people found it to be creepy (and the fan base isn't helping), the culture barrier is huge, people write it off as kids cartoon or porn cartoon and no big site really cover it. The criticism are mainly in Japan (since that there bread and butter), but there are people who criticize Anime over here, but no one outside of the Anime fanbase will see it. Because Anime isn't mainstream and it doesn't have a big company behind it. If Anime was raking in the big money, people would be criticizing it more. But sadly Anime a niche and people doesn't care for niches.
Here some criticism from some creators.

Anyway, I still like Anime and wish it would get out of the niche market. (But it sadly won't)
