This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

anime

it's become waay too popular and drowned in a sea of mediocrity

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 28 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'll be honest here; anime has always been a large sea of mediocrity, with the few sprinklings of stuff that is occasionally actually good, and some incredibly rare few things that are consistently good.

Right? Like the reason it was so popular in the early 2000s is because we got all the good stuff at once.

I think it’s a right place / right time sort of thing. I have never gone back and rewatched an old favorite without regretting it. Things that meant a lot to me at the time just hit different from a different head space, and revisiting that old space just makes the flaws more noticeable.

yeah actually that closely matches my observations
