hot take about anime "normies"
i used to be one of those people who would roll their eyes at hardcore anime fans making fun of normies but i kinda get where they're coming from now.
a lot of these normies only care about flashy action/fight scenes which is why shit like solo levelling and demon slayer got popular notice how these series are known for for their "hype" fight scenes and nothing else
they'll also complain about how a story is too slow and the character development is taking too long like duh that's the point? these things aren't supposed to be rushed and take time these ppl just want instant gratification
i've seen comments on here complaining about these things as well
i remember there was a time when op mary sues/gary stus were shamed and now they're popular and not only that are seen as "peak writing"
honestly i think it's combo of many things mainly 1. ppl are developing shorter attention spans and 2. life is very stressful rn and ppl want to turn their brain off
listen i'm not saying every series has to be 4D level chess w/ a deep and profound message but it's not a coincidence that media literacy is falling as these brainless series are getting more popular
and before y'all say the usual take this to reddit and twitter 1) i don't have either of those so you will deal and 2) this is forum where ppl can talk about w/e they want
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Isn't a little weird to say it's okay for something to not be 4D chesspiece and then complain it's NOT a 4D chesspiece? What did you think NOT 4D chesspiece was?
1. Demon Slayer isn't bad, it's just not particularly special. It's hitting 200~ chapters which is actually a pretty good length of a pure shounen manga that's well balanced. It's just no......

I don't see why this has to be a problem. There's a very simple solution, learn not to give a shit. And no one is watching anime just for the fight scenes, that would be silly and pointless. The reason everyone hypes up fight scenes is because that is usually where the animation skills stand out best. I've actually noticed an increase in media lite......

Oh how I love seeing essays here that encourage discussion but here's my input; the normies you constantly see praising the animes they like for their fight scenes and flashy scenes, are only just here for the mainstream and that is not a bad thing at all. That's why they're called normies after all. It gets annoying, yes, but in every anime (e.g D......

The only thing I don't like about "anime normies" is when they say they are anime fans and say they're obsessed when they only watched the same 4 shounen anime, I literally dgaf about anything else
Oh and when they act like they are very knowledgeable about specific stuff when their only knowledge about it is from watching one TikTok video on the......

From what I understood from this is that it's a you problem with all due respect for me as someone who is a hard-core anime watcher I genuinely enjoyed demon slayer and I would definitely call it peak for me demon slayer isn't about the fight scenes only the story line is pretty interesting you can see siblings bonds and we see our main character s......

STOP THE DEMON SLAYER SLANDER!!!! Listening to yall you'll think it's an atrocious anime but not at all?? Obviously it's not the best anime out there and some episodes are boring, but the story is attaching and the characters are great. It's fun and entertaining to watch + the artstyle and animation are peak. Charadesign is also one of the best I'v......

idk i dont think its something that you should let bother you too much. if you find people who have similar tastes as you, talk about anime with them. if you dont, then it is what it is.
personally i think its cool that more people are appricating anime, even if its "basic". and if anything, more people being into anime, theres more people you ca......

you do realize that people have different tastes right? those "hyped" anime you're talking about are just shounen anime which have a huge fanbase. a lot of people who watch anime and are usually considered "normies" enjoy what anime has to offer like amazing animation which usually carries shounen shows even if it might not be considered "peak writ......
