It's funny, because although I don't feel like I automatically gravitate towards giant robots, a bunch of my favourite anime series have somehow ended up being mecha titles (Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, Code Geass and DARLING in the FRANXX).

It kinda makes me laugh now that, years ago, when my local indie cinema put on a weekend of anime films, I looked at Eva 2.0 in the listings and thought "Hmm... giant robots? Is that really gonna be my thing?" 😄

Seems silly now!

That said, my messaging to him earlier did veer towards the overly-dramatic stroppy side.

😄 😅

I just can't seem to get into "newer" anime

I think for me, a big lack of appeal is in the animation. A lot of modern stuff to me just looks very "shiny" and squeaky somehow; I know that sounds daft, but I do prefer older anime styles - things from the 90's for example that just seemed to have a much more raw and aesthetic appeal. I'm careful where I tread on the subject though because I'm certainly no expert (and therefore can't really formulate much in the way of factual statements; it's merely my opinions based on what I've come across). Funnily, I stay away from anything that's just too long - for me, 24 episodes would be the ideal (50 max), but anything that's in the realms of an epic (like One Piece or Inuyasha) I just won't make the time for! Some anime is like multiple seasons long and I just find it hard to commit to even putting a simple film on these days so...😅

@Neil.T really rates FRANXX. He admits it's by no means perfect, (and without saying too much, I recall him mentioning that the ending seemed to try to throw too many random elements together rather than just picking one thing and doing it well), but he really likes lots of stuff in it, and he says the animation is good as well 😃.

I literally don't have high expectations when I watch an anime - I'm not expecting perfection by any stretch, but I do need to like enough of it's elements for it to grab me.

Terrible!

That sore throat on Saturday evolved into headaches, coughing and hybrid coughing-sneezing for the last few days. :(
