Got some anime for y'all

  • Daily Life of Immortal King: There was so much vital force in the first episode, I kept watching hoping to see more love and care for the rest of the first season. Instead I got a bunch of flat characters that seemed to be walking plot coupons to be cashed in when the plot needed to happen.
  • Attack on Titan: Everyone talks about how epic anime twists are. This is because they tend to make the twist about something core to the plot, so when the twist finally hits it could tear the whole story asunder and leave you with a whole different story to tell. The risk of this is that you (the viewer) might not like the story after the twist. This is what happened to me. The first twist hit, I spotted that it was a mecha anime in disguise, and promptly checked out because I had just watched a shit ton of gundam and was sick of mecha anime.
  • Eminence in Shadow: I actually watched the whole series because I was momentarily down for some power fantasy junk food. I do not reccomend it. I feel like my life is worse for the experience
  • Brothers Confict: This is among the ranks of "so bad it's good" anime. I simply could not deal with the pain and had to quit.
  • Rising of Shield Hero: I just can't deal with the horny shield.
  • Made in Abyss: I hated watching Riko constantly treat Reg like a machine. Couldn't get over that.
  • Blue Exorcist: I have no idea why this didn't hit for me. I was in the target demographic and everything, and it did end up being a springboard for me into other anime once I got bored barely ten episodes in.

Attack on Titan got me into Gundam. It is basically a ripoff, but the aesthetics carry it so hard I don't even care

I couldn't keep with Demon Slayer. It was just ultimately unpredictable in plot to me, but not really in a good way. I don't know how to describe it.

I hated watching Riko constantly treat Reg like a machine.

But.. is he not?

I mean, he is, but he's also a kid and more importantly a person

I've only watched 3 Animes, ever:

  • Death Note
  • Steins;Gate (and the prequel/mid-quel)
  • Mirai Nikki (Future Diary)

I have no interest in the medium of presentation, only the story. (I dislike animations)

[–] Prathas@lemmy.zip -1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You didn't find any of the art interesting at all? But anyway, if the plots suck, we wouldn't watch, either! I recommend that you try My Hero Academia, which is about 80% of the planet's population attaining superpowers; the story follows one boy in the 20% with no special abilities at all as he tries to navigate life in this new world.

My heros story is so bland though.

No, it's not! Did you merely read a synopsis? Those things leave so much out.
