Anime is the most retarded brainrot shit ever

Attack on Titan was so good. Not sure how it faired outside of the first season, but I highly enjoyed what I have seen.
The comics are far superior to the anime show. The anime show is 75% filler or recaps of the previous show and then maybe 25% of new dialog or plot. They really stretched that show out for years to maximize profits. You could easily cut half of the show into a condensed version and lose zero plot. I finally finished it and felt more relieved than entertained due to the glacial pace.

Utterly moronic.
First of all, anime is a medium, not a genre. It's like saying "music is the most retarded brainrot shit ever". You can have a point if you point out specific parts of music but not the entirety of it.
It's pretty obvious from the OP that @Single Action Army has only watched the most mainstream shonen bullshit. That's like only watching the MCU and thinking that's all movies are.
There's a reason anime and manga is so big. There's actual storytelling in a shit-ton of different genres.
Data came out recently that showed that one anime piracy website had more monthly visitors than Disney+. The piracy site had 331.6 million visits while Disney+ had 157 million. That doesn't just happen if all of it is "childlike" or "kindergarten anemic storytelling" like OP said.
I struggle to think of many western shows, animated or live action, that's as deep and thought provoking as something like Revolutionary Girl Utena. What western show or comic compares to something like Berserk?
And how important is the tentacle rape?

I don't necessarily judge teenagers or people in their early 20s for enjoying it because that's who it's aimed at. However If you're over 30 and enthused by the latest anime series coming out then you should probably consider unloading a shotgun into your mouth.

I have a mouth full of shotgun shells, what do I do next?

Anime can’t be a medium. Judging by their fans, anime is more of an extra large/super size.

He was joking, PogromStallone! When he asked for a comment he was joking, and when you replied seriously everyone laughed.

I'm not an anime watcher or fan but I think like most things you can blame it's rapid decline due to mainstream western acceptance and popularity.
When something loses its niche and becomes more accepted/popular it has to change rapidly or risk losing its new foothold.
You see the same shit happen with music and movies all the time.
I don't think you can call it niche if it's already watched by a bajillion nips.

I don't care much for the Chinese cartoons either but I heard the reason was that the medium became more mass produced. Back in the 80s and early 90s there still was a lot of creative liberty and over time it devolved into assembly line production thanks to massive (domestic) demand and turned into cookiecutter, generic goyslop (choislop?). Apparently animation is one of the most soul-crushing job sectors in Japan to work in, which fucking says something.

Fuck dude! You only watched the first season? Don’t read anything about it. It’s a legitimate masterpiece. He planned out his whole storyline for the entire thing before he wrote it and it pays off so big. The characters you wind up caring about, where the plot goes, it gets fucking nuts.

I enjoyed reading it and watching it as much as I enjoyed Game of Thrones books 1-3. It’s that good in how he sets up plot elements and character arcs.

It does fall apart a little bit in the final act, but I think that’s a consequence of him setting a deadline to finish the story and meeting it, as opposed to faggot George Martin letting his bullshit sprawl so far that the story can’t be concluded.

Edit: to be clear, it IS a story for boys age 10-15, but in that arena and within its genre it’s almost unmatched.

@PogromStallone i have a lot of thoughts about the ending as well, but I forgive them all because it was a great ride and at least he committed to ending it and did so.
Why would you admit this? It’s a faggot Nip story!

Other than sushi those slant eyed fucks have only been good for one thing: nuke practice
