Rules: explain why

Ready player one.

That has to be one of the cringiest movies I’ve seen, is tries so hard, too hard with it’s “WE LOVE YOU NERD, YOU’RE SO COOL FOR PLAYING GAMES AND GETTING THIS 80S REFERENCE” message and the whole “corporation bad, the people good” narrative seems written for toddlers… The fan service feels cheap and adds nothing to the story.

Finally, they trying to make the people believe that very attractive girl with a barely visible red tint spot on her face is “ugly”… Like wtf?

Yet it received decent reviews plus being one of the most successful movies of that year.

    The issue is the way the stories are done in the super cheesy/corny/wierd style that is anime. Just not something I find entertaining.

    • Animation in general will exaggerate the expression of emotion by necessity, to an extent.

      I’m not sure what style you’re talking about specifically, that is inherent to anime. If I had to guess you’ve just not been exposed to anime in other styles.

      But it’s fine if you’ve got enough media that you like, not everyone needs to try everything.
