    A lot of it is unfortunately, you can only tolerate the repetitive cringey trope filled teenage focused shows for so long, and it seems those are most of the ones getting made, seinen and Josie anime seem to be much fewer, I’m kind done watching teen characters getting objectified and getting into battles that they win through the power of friendship.

      You know, power of friendship is boring when it’s done stupidly and it becomes the only answer to every problem…

      but to me the worst kind of shounen degeneracy is when they stop caring about the human aspects at all. And instead they just do endless power level fights where heroes keep winning by ass-pulling new strength from nowhere.

      I’ve abandoned several series that I thought started well over that.

    When I was in 8th-9th grade I was obsessed with anime. Used to get the fansub VHS mailed to my house to watch them. These were the days of 28.8 and 56k modems. You weren’t watching full episodes of any quality. LOVED anime. Now I can’t stand it. It’s unbelievably cringey to me. I’m 43 but I feel like it’s been very difficult to watch for a long time. I remember in college people were watching Naruto and I was just bored to tears. Voice Acting, writing, etc really is trash for the most part. There’s some exceptions, Studio Ghibli, Akira, maybe a movie or two. But just can’t get into it these days. Anyway that’s my story, tune in next time on old man rant.

    Edit: so exceptions supposed to be some exceptions

      The vast majority of anime is aimed at minors, not a huge surprise that you aren’t as interested anymore at 43. It also seems pretty repetitive nowadays, though IDK whether that was already an issue 30 years ago.

    Most of it is, though. The best recommendations I’ve received over the years were from people who weren’t anime fans.
