@Tsukinotaku i dunno bro. you seemed bothered simply because you just typed a whole paragraph.
Dont care about One Piece. Passionate creator that will never stop (which is good thing). My favorite top anime would probably be Trigun and im trying to watch GunBuster right now
ive been watching anime since i was 4 and i would say Naruto is just alright. Ive seen a lot of episodes because my brother was watching it and the thing that helps the anime is its character design.. it is pretty cool i wont lie. but like i will call it bad if it literaly traced action scenes from other existing anime. i wont take it seriously if you copy someone elses good work. Naruto is just golden boy product that makes millions. pointless to me. boring anime. Now i will say that it did help bring anime into pop culture but it doesnt mean that its good. kids and teens dont even know good quality anime until they question it. Borrrring product anime no one should take seriously.
My standard for anime is that it should look passionate, have interesting character design, good animation, something to offer that being the concept, characters, story, writing, the action, how natural these characters feel, etc. my bar is sort of high but thats also because i am an animator and have a passion for videogames and music. the more i learned about animation the more i started to realize how lazy and boring some popular anime are. Though Pop animes can be good Trigun as i said, Panty and Stocking, Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, Demon Slayer, Pop Team Epic. Those are pretty damn good, i know animes dont Just become popular what do you take me for, i read Choujin Gakuen foo.
Couldnt care less for Uzaki and i tried but its just the Same Thing of the cute girl is dense and i have one attractive aspect and Guy is serious and doesnt like her (likes her) and wait for volumes long just for him to say "i live you" or something. Though i do like 2 of those and that is Acchi Kocchi and How Clumsy you are Miss Ueno, they are both unqiue in there own ways and Acchi Kocchi is my favorite and its actualy my top favorite mangas. But yes it is halarious seeing dumbass twitter artists just LOSE it over some dumb character design with boobs. i am also waiting for the Nagataroo reaction but i also think that one is pretty good. not a favorite but enjoyable.
valid reaction for taking me as someone who dislikes popular anime simply because it is popular. Only boring people do that.
