Title. I don’t follow the anime communities anymore so take it with a grain of salt.

And I swear every popular one is either trying to become viral due a meme or being the same “I’m a loser yet I fell inside my toilet and discovered a new world full of breedable elfs” type… Hell, I bet that’s the actual title of the show.

Also they ALL LOOK THE SAME character art style wise, you know the same pretty clean “digital” style made popular probably by No Game No Life 10 years ago. Yes, I’m sure there’s a hidden 💎 there, it’s always like that but I’m not talking about that 0.5 percent.

    Sorry but your post feels like someone saying “nowadays cinema is shit” and then ranting “it’s just Marvel and Pixar movies”.

    You don’t even have to look for niche things, just this year we already got Frieren, Dungeon Meshi, A Sign Of Affection, Spice and Wolf 's remake, Kaiju No 8, Oshi No Ko season 2, Metallic Rouge, … All of different genres, kinda mainstream and are nothing like what you said.

    And we are only halfway through the year.

    Don’t be some bitter old person, every mass media mostly market meh things that are easy to produce and sell, but just like every other media, just a quick search for “best anime 2024” get you most of the names I gave you in the 3 first lists.

      “it’s just Marvel and Pixar movies”

      I read this and thought three things:

      • Wait: It’s not just Marvel and Pixar movies?
      • Wait: Both of those are just “Disney movies”
      • Wait: Clearly they forgot about sequels. Not only is it all Disney movies it’s sequels of Disney movies
