My preferred way to browse here is using All and blocking communities I don’t want to see. That way I get exposed to new things I wouldn’t seek out on my own (for example: British archaeology)
I accidentally blocked a community while trying to block a user and when I went to unblock it, I saw I had 1250 communities filtered. If I had to guess, 90% are either porn, sports, or anime.
What about you?
Since you’re an anime enjoyer, I have a question: do you ever find that there’s a lack of variety in the art styles? I was pretty into it in the 90s/2000s but it seems like there’s a new anime every week that looks identical to the one before it
Yes but I think thats a bit the same with all media. There is still tons of relatively recent anime that is really unique like attack on titan or To Your Eternity or even spy family.
I saw the first two seasons of AoT and liked it a lot. It has a well-defined art style. My only “complaint” is that I had a hard time telling a few characters apart
Do you know the word/name for the art style I described in my other comment? I call it “kawaii anime” but I know that’s not right lol
Im sorta a poser when it comes to fandom. I like stuff but I don’t have the obsession that drives really getting into a lot of details. So I totally don’t know are styles and such. Its sorta like museums. I like to go and I like what I like but I don’t necessarily have great depth of knowledge of art style or periods or such. Its only due to memes that I know the getting sucked into a fantasy world has a name and I can’t even recall that atm. I mean I could google it right now but I just don’t care much that the particular term is X but if someone mentions it in a convo I will likely remember that what they are talking about with context clues. im thinking its like ikea with an s somewhere and i or something.
IKEA anime actually works really well for what I’m describing lol
Not necessarily bad but it is bland and unoriginal. The main difference for this analogy is that I wouldn’t consider IKEA to be childlike
lol. not my intention but cool. Maybe it will become a thing.
