Everyone would benefit from a FFXIV anime series

I think there’s already an unhealthy overconsumption of anime amongst this community as it is

Is it just me aswell or is it thar as you get older anime becomes more cringe and less appealing. I can still watch great anime like yugioh and dbz but I feel modern day anime is extremely cringe and I can't even tell 90% of them appart from each other. The all have the same badly designed bland protagonist. Lazy artstyle. Plot narrative and characters who fall so far into tropes that you basically can sort them on there personality in my anime list. Young ppl with no ability to write will enjoy this tripe but older ppl will search for substance and find more in og beyblade than current time anime. I think rn in the state of animes climate I would not want this game represented by it

As someone who has been watching anime in its various forms for the last 30 years ... it's just you. Well, it's probably that your introduction to Japanese anime and Chinese donghua has been a bit, um, tilted? Perhaps mostly kid-oriented anime?

I do not consider Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters to be the epitome of Japanese anime over the last 20-odd years.

From my watchlist on Crunchyroll, I present: Bureau of Paranormal Investigation [Chinese], Undead Murder Farce, Moriarty the Patriot, DRAMAtical Murder, Shinobi no Ittoki, Magic Kaito 1412.

From my watchlist on Hidive, I present: The Eminence in Shadow

From YouTube and Netflix [mostly Chinese donghua]: Carp Reborn, the Island of Siliang, A Mortal's Journey to Immortality, Battle through the Heaven, King's Avatar, Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation, Heaven Official's Blessing, Qi Refining for 3000 Years, One Hundred Thousand Years of Refining Qi ...

Is there a lot of junk out there? Yes. You need to expand your source material, and figure out if you really enjoy Shónen anime geared to 9-18 year old boys. I expect you'd be more into Seinen anime these days. For your own sake, lay off the kodomo-muke anime types (Pokemon, Doraemon, Digimon, etc).

Nah I'm good thanks. I've never even heard if those wires animes you listed and find when I try to watch em I can't enjoy them. Shounen anime is the only anime I can get into and I don't wanna bleed your ears with why I think shounen anime is the definitive best kind of anime. You can lead me to crime/adult series but you can't make me like em

Yugioh and dragonball z are some of the best mangas and animes and in general works of art and writing to ever be produced. Literal master pieces. If ppl think they're for children they're committing peabrainism
