Re: Manga/Anime

That being said, if all you're seeing in every anime is blatant masturbation fantasies, I'd say you're getting recs from the wrong people or about the wrong subjects. I can name tons of anime off the top of my head that have no masturbation fantasies whatsoever. Practically all of Ghibli for one.

it's really anime TV series that I have the biggest problem with. Theatrical anime has some legit things, manga is pretty wide-open presumably due to the fact that it's super cheap to make. Although even there you get your Usagi Drops.

And I agree that it's not anything intrinsic to the medium, IMO it's a consequence of the costs of production and the business models and the tastes of the people making and consuming it. At the same time, it really seems much more omnipresent than stuff in superhero fandom, especially from the point of view of the fandom's preferences and what the fandom primarily cares about.

I just get really tired of hearing about stuff and "oh this is really good" and then whoops it's awful again. Only so many times I can keep giving things a try.

I get do where you're coming from. I'm not an anime fan but I have a lot of friends who are and most of the mainstream series they're into, I'm not into for the same reasons. But keep in mind anime itself is niche. You can't compare it to Hollywood movies. The audience for most mainstream episodic anime is probably the same as for YA, for example. Which suffers a lot of the same badness.
