Example: I stopped because I grew attached to an anime called Zombie Land Saga (2018) and am currently trying to forget about it now.

I posted about it on Reddit, then on here because I didn’t agree with the writing of the overall show.

I won’t bicker about it anymore though.

I started watching anime at a time when I felt like the live-action TV I had access to leaned too heavily on tropes and clichés. I watched enough anime to start recognising its tropes and clichés, decided that if anything it relied on them even more than Western TV, and stopped watching.

Although, after a several-year break, I've been enjoying Dungeon Meshi.

Dungeon meshi has been delightful. It seems like there's this whole odd sub genre of anime which is about eating imaginary foods in a fantasy universe that I had written off entirely. You can tell me all day how delicious dragon stew would be but I just don't care. Dungeon Meshi has won me over by being so darned wholesome. Ghost chilled sorbet made me laugh out loud.
