    4 seconds into first anime, high pitched squeal coming from female lead

    10 minutes in, realize the main character is 15, girl phobic, and being put in charge of serious military equipment nobody has the right to touch until they undergo a year of training and are willing to follow orders; starts wondering if the person giving the child multi-billion dollar military equipment is more incompetent than the main character…it’s really a close call

    15 minutes in, bitches like the child they are for the rest of the episode

    episode ends

    I love anime, but boy are some of the tropes really annoying and is a massive part of why so many people just turn it off shortly after it starts.

      TIL why I can’t get into anime but didn’t know it.

      Bit OP isn’t wrong about medical, legal, and police procedurals.

          Yeah I know it’s a wide range of art, and there is likely stuff I would like. It just hasn’t tickled my brain yet.

          Meanwhile, I did love Arcane, but I also know calling that anime is likely to start a religious war ;-)

            ‘Chainsaw man’ is really good for ‘a boy and his dog whos actually not a dog but kind of the anthropic personification of how people think about chainsaws but also still kind of a dog, the faustian pact they make, and the secret shadowy government organization that uses him as a child soldier’

            ‘Death note’ ‘psycho pass’ or ‘ghost in the shell: stand alone complex’ if you want very anime but still need to be watching a cop show.

                They’re not entirely copaganda; two are cyberpunk, one is… The protagonist of ‘death note’ very much has 100% cop brain, but it’s kind of a breaking-bad-esque exploration of 'how this guy could possibly be that much of a piece of shit?’ but i remember it being fun.
