    Even then, access to anime is much better than it was say, 15-20 (even 10) years ago. When I (and maybe you too, I don't want to assume your age), was young, we only got supplied with Naruto/DBZ/Bleach/Bebop/ect, all good shows but it was a limited supply. We got maybe 2/3 NEW shows every year or so, if we were lucky.

    With Crunchyroll, VRV, Funimation, better access to the internet, ect, you can watch just about anything. I know plenty of people who just enjoy battle shounen (Black Clover), but also know people who tune in to less popular or less known shows (like say, this season's Jaku-chara Tomozaki-kun, or Horimiya).

    I think that some of the statements made in this thread would have maybe been valid 15 years ago, but it is simply not the case anymore.

    Ngl Im stuck 11 years in the past. The realm of Crunchyroll being bought by Sony and Netflix originals escapes me.

    But I agree, back in the day content was limited to mostly Jump or whatever S
    Adult Swim or SyFy could get back then.

    Now I just read manga. Been that way since HS

    You're absolutely correct, but let's not act like the reverberations of what went on during the 90 and early 2000s anime boom still isn't being felt today. Even in the streaming era.

    As far as precedence goes, all those shonens are still benefitting from those times despite the better access that consumers now have and having a broader scope to what anime can be.

    These guys always imagine TRUE anime as s*** with high schoolers and some rude 15 year old girl that they feel uncomfortably drawn to in the most suspect way

    If people care, they'll look into more stuff. If they don't, it's fine, that's their choice and if they just want to enjoy shounen it's fine.

    Sure, the reverberations are still being felt, but now people actually have the tools to broaden their horizons should they want/choose to.

    Gatekeeping is a necessary part of maintaining the passion, fidelity, and integrity of any hobby. Shaming gatekeeping is an ignorant thing to do.
