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?

To be fair, there's so much Garbage anime.

Gotta fill the seasonal line up timeslots somehow.

Overlord, Re-Zero and Frieren are some more recent series that make me have feels. If I laugh or cry, it is a nice change from my normal melancholy/numbness.

Meaningful character development and all that.

To Your Eternity, made me bawl my soul out, great show to help process complicated grief.

Mothers' Basement does good reviews.
