Also to point out that Anime itself doesn’t really help its own cause here. Every show, even the decent ones, will have some weirdly out-of-the-blue softcore porn scene or outrageous outfit on an underaged high school student with oversized proportions, which does nothing to bring the story further, before they go back to the best fight scene you’ve seen this decade.
I know it’s true about anyone way, waaayy too into their hobby, but some anime fans in particular need to chill way out, especially where it intersects with coming to Japan and being super creepy to others, particularly after a few drinks.
Too true. It’s like, you casually watch anime and you try talking to some people about it. You’ll mostly run into people who just binge watch series after series and they’ll start acting like as if you need an encyclopedia at the ready to decipher what they’re talking about.
There’s almost no in-between with lots of anime fans.
But nothing will be anymore discomforting than some loser who will treat an underage looking character as their ‘waifu’.
Damn, this one is brutally true. Like all media, 90% of anime is crap, but the good shit is real good and half the people who are into it are weird gooners.
Anime. There are plenty of great shows I like, and seemingly no way to discuss them with people who are actually normal about it.
Agreed.
