"I get it but..."

In a general sense I see what you are trying to say and could agree with the message to an extent.
There will always be those that overrate things. Be they truly poorly done or warrant much of the praise they get.
For one, you should have gone with a broader message. Anime is only a part of poor flash animations that get rated unfairly high. Even if they are the specific ones you meant to address.
I think you can agree targeting them is being misinterpreted.
Ultimately you are further ahead to ignore it and continue your own animation.
To take an anime parallel for reference.
I love Naruto and Bleach (One Piece can go die). But they are far from deserving the idea of my favorite.
It hurts to see cookie cutter-ish things overshadowing the real art of far better series.
However, if i took up flash and made a quick animation to voice this opinion in a poorly articulated way that was interpreted as disliking Naruto and Bleach in general.
All that would get is about 400 billion angry blind fans holding 0's ignoring the fact that I said I still loved them. ;p
Generally to say you aren't going to start a revolution with a half assed flash and an angry link to rate people low. You're going to make the artist laugh and feel proud he got that much attention out of you... And people are going to continue to rate based on personal opinion regardless of how fair you or I think it is.
Give up that fight and focus on real animation. This one is a waste of talent and time.

Yes, but it's easier to troll people this way. :D
