Fr one of the reasons I can't get into anime very much is because of how abstract and inhuman most characters look and behave. I know there are cultural and historical reasons for the style and tropes, but it makes everything completely unrelatable to me.
So I'll forever be one of those guys who's like "Cowboy Bebop is great but that's as far as I go"
My biggest issue is that I'll start one highly rated anime which is serious and artistic, and then the moment I invite friends over Netflix decides to fill my recommendations with a bunch of boob service thumbnails.
I agree with this so hard. There are anime shows I'd love to watch with my wife but the ridiculous amount of "fan service" even those seem to have makes it a nonstarter.
Really? Do you have some examples?
Because otoh, when I think of highly rated anime, there's barely anything like this that comes to mind. I'm thinking of stuff like Fullmetal Alchemist, Hunter x Hunter, Frieren and Spy Family, for example. Neon Genesis Evangelion is a better fit, admittedly.
Shows like One Piece, JJK and whatnot may be different, but personally, I don't think too highly of them, anyway.
