hey guys is there a list of animes you can watch and still be a coolguy. Like the anime for coolguys list. Is Ghost in the Shell still cool? No but seriously I mean stuff like that was big before anime got mainstream and I can see where it has CROSSOVER appeal or whatever that word is. Most anime is just so entrenched in its own idiosyncratic stuff I mean comic books or whatever are the same way why's Superman's hair all wavy like that is he elvis #2 I don't get it or like stuff with women is uncomfortable in anime like constantly but so is Wonder Woman's costume but it's american pop culture and nobody takes it seriously. I'm also convinced that a bunch of anime people are like not really judging it against all media/pop culture like maybe someone's seen Lupin 3rd but not heard of James Bond or whatever he's closest to in Western pop culture. I dunno I'm convinced it's like a cult like somebody can have RED HAIR and they've been brainwashed into being really wowed by this. Or they're all secretly into anime porn even the ones who say they're not it just reminds me of like a boy band or something people who have proportionally like negative talent it actually takes below average talent to sing that way but they're hawt omg. It also reminds me of stuff like soap operas and I was like I sort of wish I could get into soap operas because I'm sort of jealous of their ability to be enthralled with such bad writing and acting and stuff (like soap operas are on that same level of awfulness where it almost becomes its own aesthetic like the anime aesthetic) and then I remembered soap operas are only watched for omg hawt too right?
iits like you can read my mind
