Anime has gotten quite popular and with the uptick in new shows you end up with a lot of similar things. I wouldn’t say anime has gotten more cringe because it’s had a lot of cringe as far back as I can remember. Hell, Dragon Ball is pretty pervy and that’s from the 80s. The best shows tend not to have a whole lot. But there’s a lot more series now so all the cringe stuff is just easy to find.
Finding the good shows among the muck isn’t any different with anime than it it with regular TV or movies. There’s tons of reality TV, crime dramas, medical shows, etc. How many of them actually stand out or stand the test of time. Far fewer than what is produced.
This person watched Reboot and took great offense at the computer winning. Bet he cheered when Bob and Enzo got stuck in the games.
In a semi-literal instance, I was nearly shot in my eye with an airsoft gun because they fucking blind fired around a corner and I wasn’t wearing eye protection. Got hit right at the edge of my eye socket. You bet your ass I wrote eye protection after that. Doesn’t mean we weren’t all still angry at the guy because we told him not to do that before we even started. And this was the reason why. Even with eye protection you still don’t want to get shot in the face. It hurts like hell. We didn’t have full face masks.
