Stories filled with oppression and escapism are becoming increasingly common.
The main character is either a loser who flees reality, or the entire narrative is suffocatingly heavy and gloomy. Hatred and slaughter permeate everywhere.
Stories that genuinely bring readers joy are becoming rarer, and reader comments are invariably tinged with intense anger.
Everyone is angry.

Read more manga instead of watching popular stuff
Read Ryuu to Chameleon, Akane-banashi, Gash Bell, Sentai Red Isekai and Silver Mountain

I don't get why is it so hard for some people to simply look manga up, what keeps normalfags from taking risks or just checking an OPT thread?

HOLY FUCKING KINOOOOOOOOOO
Not enough of this.

Is there any chance of Bastard getting a new season?

>>284545285
One of the main reasons I watch anime is because it's not infested with the cynicism and irony that plagues most Western media. It actually feels earnest (sometimes anyway).
>>
Because their country has no future. The usual copium isn't going to work.

>>284545285
Escapism makes people happy.
>d-doesn't count
Watch a fluffy romcom then. God you're so full of shit.
>>
>>284545285
Because this world is shit and should be left to die along with everything retarded or ugly that ruined it while a deserving handful reach fantasy harem paradise instead.
>>
>>284545285
Retarded projection. Those stories are positive as hell.

Are they rare? There's still quite a lot of happy cgdct series that are made.
>>
>>284545513
Not modern anime for sure.
>>
>Why are there fewer and fewer stories that make readers happy these days?
>Stories filled with... escapism are becoming increasingly common.
?

That is literally what's required for Anon to be happy at this stage of life in this modern world. You need to forget this shit and read and daydream about going on a fantasy adventure/romance (not isekai though, that's for faggots. Fuck video games).
>>
>>284545285
Maybe you're too jaded to find happy stories.

More to the point, it's a story of anger and injustice.
>>
>>284545285
90% of stuff published is wish fulfillment dog shit
What the fuck are you even talking about

Isn't 99% of isekai "MC got truck-kuned", basically, he dead.
That's not fleeing reality. He head. There's no going back.
>>
>>284548484
Stuff like Saikyō Densetsu Kurosawa, duh
>>
>>284545423
Wish that was the case. I can't think of much recently besides for Mononoke Karakasa.

Picture completelly unrelated I assume.

Isn't that the guy who cried at an ant? It becomes a story filled with joy later?
>>
>>284545285

Funny how it works.

There was something called "voting with your wallet."

But then, all y'all would rather be pirates and steal anime.

Now who's funding the current animu and mango?

Committees. Enjoyers of Garbage Bin Fires. Bullies and bulls. Apparently, people who HAVE money and also enjoy robbing poor people of hope.

That's why you're getting Rent-A-Girlfriend. And shit like that where the MC is a loser who makes (IYMHO) the most wrong decisions. Constantly.

And Nukitashi? You're NEVER getting a version where everything is uncensored, "bird-censor"-less, and with specials where the MC DOESN'T WAKE UP FROM A WET DREAM.

You're all to blame for turning supposed "escapism" into "reminderism." Reminders of how horrible real life really is.
