I mean I don't watch all of these but they encompass a lot of my favs >_>https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/0/9/AARX-HAAENXN.jpg
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/1/0/AARX-HAAENXO.jpg

honestly I just figure all of the modern popular Shonen anime seem so unappealing to me because its just not my demographic anymore, and that's ok. But I still see a lot of 30+ yr olds cosplaying demon slayer and whatever the hell is big now and idgi

Anyway are you an elitist anime fan or do you have NORMIE SHIT TASTE

I'm mostly into normie shit and edge into some weird adventure stuff that isn't really particularly popular with regular people. So my tastes are like a solid shit that requires no whiping

Frankly that mindset means that the memes aren't aimed at you. They are aimed squarely at people who attribute "good = what I like", and ignore that demographics or tastes are a thing. If you cannot recognize when what you like is trash when it is trash *that* is when you are elitist.

The overly cutesy slice-of-life stuff is not and never will be my cup of tea.

I've slipped on a lot of slopes, but not this one.

Not for nothing, but how is liking three shows that aired on Adult Swim elitist per the top left? Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion, and Code Geass are pretty mainstream. Obviously not as broad as stuff like DBZ, but that's like acting you're a fan of rare sports and they just like hockey.

oh i had a lot of fun watching Ranking of Kings, the writing kinda fell apart near the end, but it had a lot of likeable characters and the art style was unique (in a good way). I think there's a mini sequel coming up in April or something: https://osama-ranking-treasurechest.com/

The only one I like that might fall under that umbrella is Nichijou. The art style is cute, but the girls aren't written in a way that feels like they're trying too hard to be cutesy i guess? They are just dumb kids doing dumb stuff and i like that. Definitely took inspiration from Azumanga Daioh, but I prefer Nichijou more

I think those 3 shows are often seen as classics, but it doesn't feel like they are "mainstream" anymore, at least with the younger crowd

Oh wow planetes is on there. Its one of the first anime I watched

Anyways I went through the serious anime stuff first followed by slice of life, romcoms, harem, and then isekai altho the last four kind of blend in together tbh

I haven't watched a full anime in 2 years tho and just check out clips these days.

I watch so little anime, that those that make me take interest are generally mainstream or close enough. Manga I read a good bit more, but a lot of that includes more mainstream things, and sometimes something less known will catch my attention.

Like Imitation Crystals works, pretty good.

Honestly those memes are incomprehensible. Someone just collaged a bunch of popular/critically acclaimed shows and slapped on random quotes.

How are you supposed to reconcile "Everything is Cyberpunk" when there's only one cyberpunk example on that list. Or "haha im depressed" with fucking Nichijou. <_<
