I sometimes click in some random clip of current anime someone uploaded on YouTube, like I dunno attack on titan or chainsaw dude, but that’s it. They look cool but despite having the time to watch it I just don’t feel compelled to watch the whole show.
I guess it’s like the Netflix virus, that you keep scrolling and picking what you wanna watch and at the end you don’t watch anything and go back to sleep. Plus, maybe it’s the depression, but I don’t like when things end most of the time. I feel empty, it doesn’t happen with movies but with anime happens, especially when the main character is a dude. The usual end is that he beats the bad guy (or triumphs in life if the show isn’t about punching people) gets the hot anime girl, and ends… I guess since I can’t get any of that irl it hits me hard.
Always been picky about what anime I watch. Haven’t watched any anime in the past few years, though, my life has been hectic the past few years. I guess I don’t like ‘anime-esque’ anime. Ones with an endless parade of episodes and filler, or over-the-top fighting or magic.
Highly recommend Jin-Roh.
Canaan was a somewhat guilty pleasure.
Anything by Miyazaki.
Black Lagoon was hit-or-miss, but when it hit, it was damn good.
Ghost in the Shell - preferring the movie over SAC, but both were good.
Cowboy Bebop naturally, and, on a lighter note, Space Dandy.
Pop Team Epic is hilarious.
Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure I like despite its other qualities. It’s an absolute fever dream that makes no apologies for itself, and I respect the hell out of that.
I wonder if there are any that I’ve liked but forgotten? My memory is like a sieve…
