"GENSHIN SUCKS AASS," - The chongyun main
"Genshin is a hell hole that people fall into. Its never a game to take up time, its more like an endless pit of nothingness. Nothing ever happens good for you. The game gives you chances only to rob you of memories, feelings, emotions, and brain cells. Never do this to yourself. Just give up."- AR 56 Chongyun Main
Anime is educational
Anime is educational, it shows Japanese culture and so much more. There is an anime series called Cells At Work. It is a very good, educational anime and talks about the human body. There are also many life lessons that can be found in various anime. It can teach you these life lessons without having to personally experience it yourself. It shows the importance of hard work, how to take it easy and not take yourself too seriously, lessons on self confidence , learning new terms and words, personal growth, importance of planning and strategy, understand the different types of people, how to deal with hardships, economics and business and more. Going back to Japanese culture, there is a lot of it in anime, from festivals to clothing, and you may not even realize it until you decide to search it up. Also anime can talk about different theories and scientific things; like Steins; Gate, Dr. Stone, Parallel World Pharmacy and surprisingly even Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, which has urban myths and several theories that people can gloss over.
Rent-A-Girlfriend is an amazing anime.
Chizuru best girl, animation is amazing, plot is outstanding, and so much more. The story can be relatable, a rollercoaster and everything in between. Rent-A-Girlfriend is just great, I don't care if you say otherwise. Love it or hate it Rent-A-Girlfriend is a good anime. Also the music is really nice and iconic.
Why is anime hated?
People don't understand it (they really don't)
"Anime is for kids" (there is anime an for everyone)
The community is too weird (not everyone in the community is weird)
They only know of mainstream anime (Like idk, Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Attack on Titan, etcetera)
They do not like the animation (they might be more into 3d than 2d idk)
Just one thing
Personally I am saddened that most fun anime things like merch, collabs, and more mainly happen in Japan. I wish they cared a bit more about their western audiences. I understand having some exclusivity, but it hurts us fans when we would gladly participate and support if we had similar events as well. There is just not enough ways to support your favorite content for anime, manga, and whatever else. It is a scavenger hunt of sorts. I found amazon.jp is a good place to buy items from Japan. There is also eBay, Crunchyroll, Funimation, Kinokuniya, Barnes & Noble, and others that I have found to be reliable sources of manga, light novels, novelty items, and content.
I asked Frase AI "best places to watch anime," this is what I got:
