I think I know why anime is so enjoyable. Because they risk it being so bad. Like for example it is a anime show where college aged kids lives on city that moves around. And for some reason if they come near another city they fight. Then there is a anime with a black dude going around Japan fighting people over a headband. Hollywood wouldn't greenlight that. But anime takes the risk.

So they take all these risks, and there are some really bad anime. But you can't have great stuff if you are not willingly to risk it. In the America it is like 90% are bad sitcoms,reality shows, true crime, or another cop or EMS show from Dick Wolf.

I legitimately do not understand how mechas basically died after Pacific Rim. It was well received and everything. Yet not only did mecha media stop being made in the US, it also pretty much disappeared in anime.

Yeah, you'll never see a show about a bunch of guys getting jailed inside an all-female school, and then have to escape via various horny shenanigans.

Yeah I want more love action mechas. But PRim2 didn't do so hotly right? And I imagine those movies are expensive AF to make and gamble on

That is the fault of studios not because movies are actually 100x more expensive to make.

Same with the whole AAA video game idea. When someone like this whines that it is too expensive, they want pity. But they did it to themselves.

American TV makes interesting ideas sometimes but people tend to not support it for whatever reason. Americans want the same shit they have always had. So that is why there are a billion cop, Doctor and lawyer dramas. Meanwhile the unique stuff usually gets canceled. It has a better chance on cable or streaming services. But on network tv, the more unique a plot is, the higher chance the show will be canceled after 1 season

Most anime that people actually watch is more formulaic than your average marvel movie.

Although they often do have cool settings.

At least there are cartoons, but sadly the "cartoons are for kids" stigma hurts the medium a lot (even if adult animation has been getting better lately)

Some people have highlighted that with anime does come a lot of a tropey shows. I will say that is true. But at the same time, you have all these wild shows. Some of them are crazy, others are nice just saying what a cool wonderful world these people live in. You normally do not see that in Western stuff as much. And yes there are a million animes that are set in that same Japanese High School. But there are so many different worlds to explore in anime.

I always thought it was just a very niche group of people that are into isekai harem shows, but nope apparently the majority of anime fans really do like these shows they're more abundant than Action Shonen animes during the 90's-00's.

People overestimate the non-Japanese fandom's influence on anime. Anime is first and foremost aimed at the japanese and the japanese love isekai for some fucked up reason. Japan's taste in anime is absolutely horrid. Maybe it's just a bunch of sexless shut-ins having wish fulfilment through it

This combined with the fact it is piss easy to write an isekai story is why 75% of a season is always that garbage

What is a Isekai? I looked it up and it seemed like is just people going to a different world. Did I miss something ?

nope. Its a genre where the MC dies and is transported to some kind of fantasy afterlife. Im some cases they dont die and are instead summoned or something.

And not all isekai is harem related bullshit as mentioned above. Some of them are pretty decent.

What about the Isekai without harems? Those typically end up pretty awesome. The most recent one that comes to mind is "So I'm a Spider, So What?" which is fantastic.

Isekai is literally just that. A subgenre of anime where the Main Character (MC) is transported to a different world. Often times the MC is killed and then reincarnated in a fantasy world, but the only constant is the MC winding up in a different world than their own. The "how" can be whatever the creator comes up with. Although, there's a running joke that a lot of isekai use a runaway truck to kill the MC.

People like the genre because it takes, often ordinary, people and basically puts them into a "what if scenario" where they are in a world they only imagined before.

To be honest all the good-looking anime seem to be from the 70s, 80s and 90s, and I guess there's a lot of cool looking stuff from the 2000s, too, like Monster. But like, man, I want to see that one that's Sherlock Holmes but he's a dog. And Future Boy Conan. And all those adaptations of Western literature, like Heidi, and Treasure Island. And, dude, there's this Jack and the Beanstalk movie from the seventies, which is rad as fuck.

I mean its all about what your into. Of course the harems will be more popular because horny. I, myself like the ones geared towards the video game aspect. Bofuri for example, is a well done anime. No harem, super funny, good action, nice OST.

I dont usually mind harems as long as its not the main focus. If the whole premise of the show turns into lol sexy hijinx between MC and surrounding crew, and the actual plot takes a backseat, lol yeah Im not watching that shit.

Hell I tried to watch Worlds End Harem abs couldnt even finish it because it was awful. Not even tiddies could save it smh.

You're right. SoL is especially garbage with almost all of it being about little girls and everything else melodramatic romance. There are some gems to be found there though. Shonen will always be shonen defined by who has the better production values (Demon Slayer or Jujutsi Kaisen) or most dedicated fanbase (One Piece lol)

Shonen always deteriorates though. Just look at how MHA was in the beginning and now it's trash

Yeah Bofuri was hilarious. I was skeptical when I started, but Maple is the best lol.

And I actually agree with Axiom that Shield Hero is good. The first season, especially is very different from how most Isekai are where the MC is beloved by all. But yeah... he does have a few women falling all over him, which gets annoying. Still not as bad as the Harem animes of the mid 2000's where the MC has a dozen girls throwing themselves at him and he's somehow oblivious to it all. Those made me start aggressively avoiding harem plots for years lol.
