Stop being so butthurt. He didn't say anime is not art nor is it not good.
Drawing in an non-anime style gives room for more realistic proportions and a better understanding of the human anatomy.
People who hastily tackle on drawing anime might overlook proper anatomy and will get used to drawing big eyes, same poses, unrealistic hair, etc.
While that proves to be true most of the time, there are those like me who use an "anime"esque style as a way to improve our own concepts and notions.
It can prove rather helpfull to try different styles, not mattering our personal position towards the style.

no it's nothing to do with overlooking realistic styles and studies, it's because there's a ubiquitous circlejerk among people who think themselves to be above the practice of watching such animation, and this prejudice bleeds into the art-style as a whole and it gets on my tits
god damn it
this is all the more obvious if you look at the cartoon style he's trying to achieve... logically, it should suffer the same symptoms as you described for rushing into anime art, but still it's anime art specifically that he seems to be avoiding.
OFF-TOPIC: Please relax and watch some anime ^^ it would do you good, as you seem to possibly have hypertension or high stress levels.While I agree with you to some extent, he still has the right to decide the style he should use and/or like the most. As long as he doesn't criticise (not sure about the spelling) others for using an "anime"esque style, or tell them to try to demerit the anime art, he is, in no way, harming the work and effort of others.
On a side note:

I could simply not avoid laughing my ass off at such a seemingly "intimate" remark.
