So when I was younger I watched a lot of Dragonball Z, I also liked some of the Pokémon movies and I was a big fan of the Witcher nightmare of the wolf which came out a year or so ago? For me though to watch an anime it has to be based on a series I already have an interest in e.g. the Witcher. For some I assume the love for anime is so strong that the genre comes first and the particular show or movie is secondary. What’s ya’ll reasons for liking anime so much?

It espouses values and life lessons to live by better than any other medium.

Some people just like the art form more than others. I'm just a big fan of animation

cartoons allow for big and unique plots that wouldnt work otherwise

also some of the animation can be pretty

also 2D girls do not walk around with poop in them 24/7 like real girls

ive only seen death note

I feel like y’all make this thread once a year but making this thread with an iron man avy is 0 self awareness

I promised myself to start with Jojo but had no clue where to begin lmao

Season 1 is slower by a bit but sets up the reward of all future seasons

It can pull off way more ambitious imaginings to no end without the crutch of live action limitations. Of course the writing will need to be stellar as well, which many series and films have.

It's also not really a "genre"

more a medium, that has a variety of genres in it.

ie: They can do dramas in ways that other shows simply can't (either because animated dramas in western culture aren't really a thing, or because live action dramas can't do the same camera angles/colors/art/action)

So it has a lot of unique s*** out there that doesn't really have an equivalent

im not too into anime so for me its just the cool looking animation. i dont like cheap looking ones

its cool

My goodness, where’s this from?

What's this

the concepts they come with are unique af

e.g. Chainsaw Man

Like western mediums of animation ain’t coming up with something like that

Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayal

The appeal is that its fire.

Hope this post helped @op !

Anime is therapeutic to watch for some reason lol.

All you need to see

tried anime, not for me. (watch somebody try to convince me otherwise)

I don't like it any better or worse than live action media

Anime absolutely sucks except the few decent ones

Damn nigga read a Bible
