>>513474365Both of the shows I mentioned are low episode count. FMA is 60 or so episodes, S&W is like 26 maybe? This in indicative that they actually had something to say, and that there is real artistry involved with the stories.
Anime is becoming worse to be honest, but it is still lightyears ahead of the west. Take something like Game of Thrones which has literally zero genuine artistic merit outside of muh pussy, muh gay midget fucking, flat drama that only 90 IQ could enjoy, and overly grotesque gore for the sake of nothing. It's honestly a joke, and that's one of the better examples from the west and is above average.
