    Anime kinda polarized itself by the time I stopped watching like 5-7ish years ago. Idk if it’s changed now.

    But back when I stopped watching your options were:

    • Shonen Reboot/Continuation
    • Generic Candy-Colored anime girls at high school show.
    • Rare 10-60 Episode mini-series that had no right existing in that era.
    • Jojo.
    • HandwovenConsensus

      Now you have “fantasy isekai with a protagonist that’s so overpowered it removes all conflict or stakes from the story.”

      I seriously don’t get the appeal. I know it’s wish-fulfillment, but can’t our wish-fulfillment include overcoming challenges?
