By watching everyone else fuck it up and going "There is no way I can be worse than that..."

Seriously

That's how I started. I got so pissed dealing with so many half-assed DMs that I said fuck it I'll do it myself.

ELLO ME DUCKY! O you knows it, dis is it. Luh, save me a couple spuds der wouldya? Gotta get some grub, eh der b'y?

It's a key part of the movie The Kings Speech too.

I cannot stand anthropormophized characters. I don't know what it is and well aware that it's a personal thing but it drives me absolutely insane. That also feels way too... cutesy. Death Note I liked because it's dark. Whether its for teenagers doesn't matter so much to me as the tone of it. All the shows that I watch are usually pretty darker in tone, mysterious as hell, and with a plot that you've gotta figure out. Stuff like Severance, Westworld, Hannibal, The Expanse, even How to Get Away with Murder. Character driven stories that have a mystery with wits being involved more than strength but that also are dark. Death Note surprised me because it managed to hit every single one of those things but with the added benefit of something I'm always looking for but can rarely find. The main character being the bad guy. I am so overwhelmingly bored of the good guy winning, especially when it doesn't reflect reality. I like stuff that subverts expectations to an extent and the expectation for me is good always triumps over evil.

So One Punch Man has been suggested to me before. What you said about the B Story is partially why I'm not interested in it.

I've become real fuckin' jaded. I am so tired of heroes. I grew up on Bond who is hella flawed and has serious problems but then its just like everything got saturated with that. When I was watching Death Note I was enjoying it because the main character was the bad guy for once. Not to mention the point at which I quit meant that the bad guy won. I'm tired of heroes and of the conflict within and having to cope with that. Also I'm a Superman stan and that's the majority of his shtick when you analyze it so I'm familiar with it as a story.

Overlord I've heard mentioned a lot and might sell me because he's not necessarily a good guy. He's just a dude.

I liked it up until L dies but from then on it just doesn't make any sense at all and is so contrived. I mean not like the 'plans' that Light was coming up with were anything short of fuckin insane.

Suckers for punishment, huh? I... cannot say I relate. At least to that level of self-harm.

The funny thing is, the monologuing is what I enjoyed. The fun action, adorable creatures and badass robots are what put me off about most anime and why I haven't seen much of it. I get very easily overstimulated by a lot of stuff happening on screen and anime often manages to trigger that stupidly easily in me. Death Note got around that by it just being a battle of wits so everything was slower and the only hyper-active moments I can really remember was the "I take a chip and I eat it" scene.
