I still dont get anime. There are like 2 or 3 that I've watched, but I can't really get into it.

Because modern anime has a lot of mass produced trash. It's no ranma 1/2 or utena or Saint seya or macross, Gundam, cowboy bebop, outlaw star, cat's eye, lupin iii, etc... there are ton of well produced anime before 2000 that are actually good. Some are confusing messes but at least look amazing. I tried watching bleach and the newer stuff is just so boring and cringey.

I feel it's same way with people that enjoy series for example, different strokes for different folks, I grew with dbz it was huge where I lived to the point kids would skip classes to watch it, so watching anime grew from that, I don't enjoy shows like Game of Thrones or things like Family Guy, but there's others of the same genre that I do watch, again preferences do matter, maybe you won't enjoy an anime series but maybe you will just a movie something like Redline, Spirited Away...

What I'm trying to say is don't feel pressured into liking it, do you.

I don't feel pressured, ive just tried it a few times and could really get what made people like it so much.

You are still weird if you like anime

[–] Philolurker@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

I like anime because I'm weird.

I have a family member with a kid about to enter middle school who is very likely going to end up being this guy. We've been trying to de-weeb him, but it's not going great. I think when the ninjutsu sinks its kunai in at such a young age, it's a lost cause. My only hope now is to just make sure he knows how to run properly.
