A lot of anime criticisms come off as missing the point

[Pikacel]

Anime is basically theatrics and every character is some chink wearing a mask

Characters can be kawaii 1000 yo lolis or turtles it doesn’t make a difference what matters is the role they play and the emotions they express/elicit

If you come into an animated medium expecting some kind of realist drama you’re retard tbh

People demand diversity in media when Jap media has all the Asian lore on lock already; China, India, Persia, Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt etc

What people really want is just diverse backgrounds and settings adapted into the same Hollywood or telenovela format. What’s diverse about that

It’s just escapism slop at the end of the day, I don’t know what hoodweebs and other normies are sperging about

I feel like anime and manga and gaming outside of sport games or shooting games is just not for normies. I see normals try to contort themselves into liking these things but its just not for them. They should be watching Stranger Things.
