Memes about this show are so hard to avoid. After a week of seeing like 4-5 a day I said fuck it and watched a synopsis of the series. The ending seemed insanely contrived which put me off but for some reason I ended up downloading the show and starting it. I got the point where I personally thought they should have ended and then I stopped watching the show.
I’m still confused as to why the hell I watched it in the first place. I mean, it wasn’t a waste of my time. Was rather quite enjoyable. At least I can get the fuckin’ memes now. Hasn’t really changed my opinion on anime (nothing negative, just not really for me 9 times out of 10) but I’m still just… why the hell did I watch that?
Anything you’ve watched for reasons that you can’t quite place? Whether you loved it or hated it?
I like anime (cartoons in general) because I find it lends itself to the fantastical better than live action. To me, it feels way more immersive than CG, which gives uncanny valley vibes. Like Iron Man was one of the better MCU movies but the suit just wouldn’t work, the inside the helmet shots with the hud reflection - absolute bullshit. Similar things in Ghost in the Shell S.A.C 1/2 absolutely convince me.
