I use to like it, not stuff like DBZ, can't stand it and Pokmon was obnoxious and repetive.but I enjoyed furry anime, Ranma 1/2, Outlaw Star and robot media.

Nowadays... can't find one I can enjoy.

That would have been excellent information to include in the opening post lmfao If it's been that long then yeah, it doesn't suit your interests any longer, most likely. Do you watch other television at all?

My apologies for assuming about the situation, just reminded me of some of my pals who go on about how they don't enjoy something anymore and it's like yeah, because you turned playing video games into a chore, take a break.

t's cool.

Most now don't appeal to me. Game wise, I rather take toon/anime style over realism. Plus waifu shit is cringe.

No.

Most of the newer stuff sucks now, and most of the older stuff is going to feel dated to you if you didn't watch it back in the day.

Plus there's always that bit of disconnect that's going to come from watching something originally written in a different language and rooted in a different culture that can make it harder to relate to if you go looking for more complex themes and stories.

Embrace it. If you don't like anime, then you don't need to waste time watching it, and can go do other things that you do enjoy with that time.

If you dont like anime anymore, that's fine.

Nothing I can say or do will change your mind.

Are you hoping someone does?

Had someone have an extreme bitch fit at me over it. Plus most stuff I like is figure collecting and other nerdy stuff that involves robots, turtles and a serpentine leader with a raspy voice.

I've been tired of it for almost a decade, I occasionally watch some but it's extremely difficult to get intrested in one. The last one I got super excited for was BNA and even that wasn't as good as I had hoped.

I tried to watch another anime that was similar where the blokes looked like regular animals and the girls were humans with ears and tails. SUPER CRINGE.

I know exactly which one you're talking about and it indeed is super horrible lol.
You can read manga far faster than you can watch an anime. That's why I stopped watching.

I think there is just too much of it? Just the July releases alone. Still watch Dandadan, you might like it?
You aren't even really reading my posts; you're just staring at your e-mail client and fondly reminiscing about that hobo you stabbed to death. :P

The show where Minors get sexually assaulted or put in sexual encounters nearly every episode and is the main premise of the show? People who enjoy that need to be put on the watch-list.

The Male = Full Anthro and Female = Nekomimi or whatever they call it? It's weird but Japan having a distaste for full anthro stuff isn't new and has only abated a little in the last few years. I can't really stand anything that isn't full anthro either.

It's cringe, unless it's fantasy race where humans have ears and tails or wings(I.E Races in Star Ocean is fine) Some stuff I been working on, Animal people are both genders.

I don't keep up with seasons and I'm mostly burnt out on mainstream/shounen stuff right now, but anime covers an infinite range of genres and styles. Lately I'm focusing less on action/scifi and more on relaxed, grounded shows or slice of life.

Also what do you mean by waifu shit? Like harem stuff specifically, or any kind of romance/series with large female cast?

Harem and just waifu eye can't. I find it fuckin' cringe. Maybe 'cause I am asexual on that, but I don't like romance either. Harem stuff is really cringe.

I do wanna watch some of the Anime TRansformers. One I kinda dropped because it was just really stupid.

I also need my anime to be... socially coherent? I hate otaku shit.

Attack on Titan
One Punch man
Berserk (the old one)
JoJo's bizarre adventure

And others I'm forgetting. I also don't watch dubs because I find it painfully awkward being badly translated, a lot of jokes are butchered.

Studio Ghibli films are also very respectful. It's easy to write it all off, I used to, but then you're missing out on a lot of culture and works of art. I like JoJo's bizarre adventure because they draw men and women in a very sexualized way, but in a "beauty of the human physique" kind of way. I only got into anime at 25 because I thought it was all awkward before that.

Also, Death Note is a must watch, absolute classic.

I used to feel the same for a long time, but I've come to the realization that it was really just self-inflicted shame. So I like cute girls doing cute things, that's all that matters. I'll like what I like and forget what anyone might think.

There's still a lot of the otaku culture that I find annoying and gross. Especially Idol Culture. And it's not like I'm going to pretend they're actually my "waifu". But there's nothing wrong with appreciating and connecting with a character that I like.
I used to watch like 3-5 new shows a season, of various genres slice of life, comedy, sports, mecha, you name it.
At some point though I devolved into only enjoying battle shonen crap. In the last 5 years the only new anime I watched were shows like Demon Slayer, Chainsaw Man, JJK, Dandadan. Currently watching Black Clover, it is unmistakably kind of low quality but for some reason it's precisely what I am looking for in anime.

It's definitely you with the issues, but it's pretty obvious you don't want to work on them so the outcome is inevitable.

If I do (which will probably get me modded), will you at least admit you were wrong?

Edit: The clip will definitely get me modded. Just watch the first clip that shows up on Youtube when you search Momo Ayase is abducted by alien | Sub vs Dub | Dan Da Dan .
