I don't like Anime. I just watched Death Note and I don't know why. Anything like that for you? (lemmy.world)

Memes about this show are so hard to avoid. After a week of seeing like 4-5 a day I said fuck it and watched a synopsis of the series. The ending seemed insanely contrived which put me off but for some reason I ended up downloading the show and starting it. I got the point where I personally thought they should have ended and then I stopped watching the show.

I'm still confused as to why the hell I watched it in the first place. I mean, it wasn't a waste of my time. Was rather quite enjoyable. At least I can get the fuckin' memes now. Hasn't really changed my opinion on anime (nothing negative, just not really for me 9 times out of 10) but I'm still just.... why the hell did I watch that?

Anything you've watched for reasons that you can't quite place? Whether you loved it or hated it?

I'm pretty sure there's an anime out there that you'd enjoy, if only because the genre is so wide and deep.

That being said: my anime 'why did I finish this??' is Aldnoah Zero, as well as A Certain Scientific Railgun. Kinda bad in the great scheme of things but I kept going for some reason.

I think Aldnoah Zeros physics-accurate fighting got me to enjoy the fights even if the story was utterly trash. It's like seeing a spec of gold in a pile of shit.

Ex: I forgot why they were fighting the lightning mech. But the main character tethers himself to the lightning mech then hovers. As long as he's at the same electric potential as the mech, it's impossible for the lightning to hit him (and as long as he's not touching the ground or other large sources of electron storage, he's insulated from the effects).

Did it matter much? No. This was like a 2 minute fight and the story otherwise sucked. But some anime director put a LOT of thought into the physics of this anime. And I was here to enjoy the 2 minutes of that per episode lol.

As a Trekkie I do appreciate when they go hard on the small details like that. This is a book series but Lightbringer by Brent Weeks for that insane magic system also gets my love for the same reasons.
