Like the older I get the more and more I can't stand 98% of anime and JRPGs.

Y'know... ... I can agree with this.

Just take colour keys for example - take any non-main character person from a modern anime and they're all the same. But you look at ONE PERSON AT ALL from Princess Sarah and you know exactly what you're watching. (Same goes for Dragon Ball and its backgrounds)

What are you talking about? As a person who used to watch back when it was Japanimation, I can assure you that anime was never aimed at much more than "high school trash." There is a reason that the stereotypical anime boy/protagonist is an awkward, teenage loner archetype who goes through some kind of redemption that makes him feel important (or, in most cases, for a girl to give him a peck on the cheek.)

lolwut, when was high school life trash ever not prominent in anime? That's a significant portion of the demographic.

You misread what he said, he meant the genre is slice of life, all light fluff.

Anime and JRPGs are a medium, not a genre.

It's like saying you hate all cartoons or hate all live action movies. The only common ground in all anime and JRPGs is that they hail from Japan. Any collective dislike against the two stem from your own biases.

A lot of anim nowadays feels like it's going for style over substance. I don't like that trend, It's nothing against anim as art, I grew up with Sailor Moon and still love Sailor Moon, but I do feel there's a lot of "good-looking but bad" anim now.

I like Cowboy Bebop, Initial D, Excel Saga, Planetes, Samurai Champloo, Wangan Midnight, Yukikaze, Ex'Driver, etc.

The silly high school mock-martial-arts stuff leaves me cold.

And the whole art style of noseless owl-eyed, lipless characters is ugly, ugly, ugly.
