I'm trying to get into anime but the writing and dialogue is always so terrible and cringe. How does anyone watch this garbage?
If you didn't just send a whole thread into the archives for ragebait, maybe tell us what anime you watched. If you watched a bunch of shonen or flavor-of-the-month isekaislop I can't fault you for thinking that. Anime fans realistically don't like most of the crap that gets churned out each season, either. We like 2 or 3 if we're lucky and bitch about the rest with the same critiques you have.You also don't have to be into anime. I dunno if you want social approval or to be included in this new thing everyone is into, or if you're just curious and want something to watch, but you're not obligated to like anime, or any particular anime.My honest advice would be to just watch batter anime.
>>84830943I like the ones with cute girls doing nothing. I find anime cringe only if it takes itself seriously.
>>84830943I grew out of it over a decade ago. I have no idea how people watch most of that shit into their mid 20s and 30s. I can feel my brain rotting every second from it.
Anime is something you start watching as an autistic child
>>84830943Were you watching a crunchyroll dub?
>>84830982thisits so gender affirming
>>84830943most anime sucks it is truebut the good stuff is really good. its like normal shows/movies. lots of bad and a few worthwhile things here and there.
>>84830943Congrats you're not an autistic tranny.Now get the fuck out of this website, you normiefag.
>>84830982There are very good anime that present themselves completely in-earnest and have real stakes or themes with gravity.>Parasyte>FMA>basically anything made by Satoshi Kon>stories like Gundam and Eureka Seven>Ghost In the Shell>To Your Eternity>Made In Abyss>MushishiYou can absolutely tell stories that are supposed to be taken seriously in animation. It's a medium, not a genre.Don't get me wrong, stuff like Azumanga Daioh and Lucky Star and Nichijou are beloved for good reasons. I see the appeal. But if we're being real here, even Azumanga Daioh is emotionally sincere and in-earnest at its core. That's like half of what makes it good; giving a shit about the girls' trials and triumphs in a completely mundane setting like that.>>84830994To be fair, again, most anime FANS despise most of any given season's offerings and shit endlessly on them. It is unironically all that keeps the industry from sloppifying completely.Still. With all the "I outgrew that stuff" takes, one could be forgiven for thinking that the current trend of normies being into anime really is the same people who made fun of you in school for watching "babyish" stuff like Pokemon, just grown-up and intruding in in the space now that it's socially acceptable.>>84831036>most anime sucks it is truebut the good stuff is really goodThis
>>84830943It gets easier to digest when you realize that Japanese people really do talk like that and they aren't trying to be cute with all those EHHHH??s and the like
Watch Satoshi Kon movies, throw everything else in the trash!
>>84831125I mean, if you're going to watch his movies you should probably watch Paranoia Agent, too. I don't see why you wouldn't include that.But yes, his shit is S-tier and influenced film more than people know.
>>84830943I've watched over 400 of them and have completely lost interest in the medium. Once you've seen the good stuff it's just shonentard nonsense, fujoshi bullshit and tranny nonsense
