I can never get behind these threads because anime is pure kitsch aesthetics wise, and the writing is terrible and unsubtle. It's made by and for autistic people, that's why every show and film has no complexity and tells you exactly how to feel, why everything needs to be explained, every internal monologue, villain's reasoning, flashback flashback flashback, etc. All of the old ones I've tried out that I see get recommended here often and are held in high regard were complete trash which is odd because I assumed the taste was better here than /a/ because some people here are adults and watch classic cinema but alas.

Grow the fuck up and watch something good like Marketa Lazarova
