I’m kind of the same way. There are some amazing works of fantasy and science fiction I love from the world of anime but I am way more willing to watching crappy live action stuff. I watched Dragon Ball Z pretty religiously in high school as the show was first being released in America on cable. I tried to come back to later as an adult and realized literally nothing fucking happens in most of the episodes. Its just dudes with flames around them making constipation grunts while “powering up.”
The how lame is anime thread (devils advocate anime critique)

Amvs with linkin Park…omg…just do a rick astly amv already pls…anything but linkin Park and anime.
Visions of esclaflowne…have no idea wtf it was about…saw a movie basically 90s steampunk mecha meets narnia…don’t really remember this one…and my not remembering speaks for itself.
Fullmetal alchemist…allusions to ancient Persia east vs west and the nazi occult mysticism…with magical chemistry science and steampunk. I’m liek yeah I see the themes and plots but at the end of the day it’s another hodgepodge of a bullshit fantasy world that tries to allude to real life. Also did I mention it’s like an alternate universe of nazi but without discussing the nazi.
Ripping anime apart because reality…

Dbz = inspiring bodybuilding
Naruto = how outcasts become popular and make friends and become powerful through togetherness and friendship. With the dark path being inspired by trauma and betrayal of trust, and selfish interpretation of peace, justice, power, and revenge. And how friendship and togetherness is the healer of all things.
Bleach = outcast breaks the mold of society and social mobility due to his own internal power…let your soul glo.
Lol im like…the real world doesnt work this way.
