    Because they don’t understand it and claim it’s all the same. That’s like saying “I don’t like dramas.”

      So you’re saying that everyone that dislikes anime “just doesn’t get it” ? That’s a pretty silly take.

      I’ve watched about 100 different shows and all kinds of anime genres over many years but I stopped because I can’t do it anymore

      Most Anime shows suffer from the same issues. Personally The 2 most difficult things to deal with in are:

      - Incredibly frustrating dialogue

      I hate how characters speak in an extremely unrealistic and cringy way. It throws me off every time and I can’t connect with the characters. It doesn’t need to be realistic dialogue of course. I just think that anime is very far removed from acceptable dialogue, even for a show

      - Shows never go beyond their basic tropes

      Edgy anime is edgy and then nothing else. Every slice of life is just that and nothing else. Everything is extremely formulaic and you’re just left with the characters. And the characters are unidimensional. Please add some substance to the plot. Create more human and imperfect characters. Every character represents a trope and has no more nuance than that. The clumsy character is just clumsy. The bully character is just a bully. The main character is either the smartest or the most powerful being in the universe. EVERY TIME.

      Seinen anime is a bit better regarding this last point. but it’s still too much. I can’t sit through an episode without cringing several times. Especially over the dialogue
