I heard this postulate about why weebs are sometimes neurodivergent and it makes so much sense. It said that since anime always has over the top voice acting and almost no subtlety, high functioning autists are able to watch it because they normally can't understand sarcasm. Also, since anime is animated, they have an easier time judging the exaggerated emotions displayed by characters.

A lot of weebs gush over Katanagari, so I gave the 1st episode a spin. The artwork is suppose to be :marseyprisma: amazing! :marseyprisma:, and omg it's so funny!

After 10 minutes of watching characters' eyes hardly move, delayed stone face reactions, and jokes being repeated 2 or 3 times with loud anime noises, I stopped it. Most "great" anime appeals to neurodivergent r-slurs, which is why almost all of it is absolute shit.

everything they call "great" is because it appeals to their fetishes or autism. not because they judge the writing or visuals in a more non-bias way

I blame weed, cause personally I can only enjoy anime while high. Sometimes not even then.

Anime is great as background stuff for games with the boys, and zoning out to when youve got literally nothing on the plate.

Unless its Akira. We always pay attention to Akira mf.

the lack of subtlety is super bad in most anime but that's common to a lot of mainstream entertainment I feel

I can't figure out if it's always been that way, but there's this sizable crowd of autists and average Joe r-slurs on a horseshoe influencing media with "well why didn't you explain that? It should be explicitly explained!" mixing up show-don't-tell-subtlety with plot holes they can gotchya before a shitty overlong YouTube analysis does.

Shit like this is why i always disregard g*mers opinions on literally every subject. They always end up eventually bringing up anime and how they think "x show has really great writing this season!"

In every 10000 shows, there might be a single one with netflix level writing. Full stop.

I think the style of anime, with all the baggage it has, is antithetical to a good story. Never checked the "this proves anime is art!" shit like Berserk or Evangelion, never will. But if they are truly great stories, turn them into a regular novel or a live-action movie. Additional challenge: No panty shots allowed.

Animation allows the merging of real and fantastical visual elements in a way that would be impossible in live action (would look ultra tacky), yet keeps the video format unlike a book.

So if people offer counter examples and you refuse to acknowledge them, then your opinion doesn't matter. It's literally just a visual medium.

Comparing Grave of the Fireflies or Perfect Blue to shit like Sword Art Online, is like comparing Se7en to iCarly.

most anime is quite literally the male version of YA. That's what 'shonen' means.

When you metabolise that fact, everything makes more sense. It's the male side of 30-year old 'witches' who exclusively consume children's media.

Exactly this. This is why I quit enjoying watching anime at 16.

Someone enthusiastically telling me to watch Boku no Hero Academia is literally like someone saying "Go watch Harry Potter! IT'S SO GOOD I CANT EVEN AHHH"

Well... maybe it is good. I hear they played superhero tropes straight and optimistic, which is nice I guess. But something's gone wrong if if I'm that bored and that's the only thing I can think to do to fill up my time, lmao

I remember as a teenager thinking "Wow 90% of anime is garbage!" (instead of 99% lol) and trying to find something not weird or boring to watch. Weird would be anything where someone falls in love with their older brother, general degeneracy, or whatever the frick Black Butler was. Which I watched anyway due to peer pressure from my only friend at school at the time.

The only anime I've watched is Initial D, which was recommended to me as I had an AE86 at the time. Story was boring and nonsensical there's no way he's beating an R34 GTR with a 4age 16 valve, even on the downhill :#marseydisagree:

You know it’s bad when the obligatory Netflix Turns White Character Black is the least of the complaints against it.
