Eh, agree to disagree. and, I mean, I know I'm being anti-nostalgic towards it, but just,
Gundam, Bocchi the Rock, Mob Psycho, Spy x Family
I still hate all of those. Not that I've exhaustively given all of them a full chance; I went through a period where I gave my friend's recs a full three episode chance, but I started hating the style, so even these newer ones (that I get exposure to because my friends + fiance have watched some of them), are just very anti-nostalgic. I can come up with specific complaints about specific parts of those shows, but I think the deeper issue is that I just hate the 'style' and 'vibe' now.
My point isn't that 'anime is bad now', its that it doesn't appeal to me anymore. Even the stuff I used to like is now 'cringey' to me. (which, I'm not saying I judge you or think you're cringe if you like Sailor Moon or w/e, its that I can't stand it, even if I used to like it)
Though, I also dislike like 95% movies and shows these days as well, so I think I've gotten a lot pickier about what media I like as I've gotten older.
but its been like, a decade since I've actually enjoyed watching an anime series, whereas I've found at least a few western movies or shows I've liked in the last 10 years.
