After 2+ decades of watching anime I was struggling to find something that would interest me, I thought I got tired of it.
But then I made a scatter chart of my ratings of all 200+ anime I watched vs MAL rating and I found literally ZERO correlation! The MAL rating means nothing for my anime tastes. So now I start watching random anime starting from episode 1 and if I hate it I drop it, no bad feelings, if I don't love it by episode 3 I drop it as well. There are over 17000 anime. And finally I was able to find good anime again that I truly enjoy watching, easily 10*. I don't even read ratings or reviews beforehand as there is no correlation for me. Just pick random anime and watch.
- t-3 2y agoThere's a lot of good stuff from China - Mo Dao Zu Shi, Thousand Autumns, Fairies Album, All Saints Street, Forty Millenniums of Cultivation, Fog Hill of Five Elements, Psychic Princess, Fei Ren Zai, Fabulous Beasts, No Choice but to Betray Earth, etc. There is of course a lot of mediocre and garbage stuff as well, but the tropes are far less annoying and thanks to Chinese censorship there's far less pandering and it's much more tasteful on average than Japanese anime.
