So, Reddit's Anime Obsession This Week... Am I the Only One?
Every week, the r/anime subreddit practically explodes. It's a beautiful, chaotic mess of opinions. But sometimes I wonder if we're all watching the same shows?
Let's dive into my totally-not-scientific (but very passionate) take on what's trending. And maybe, just maybe, stir up some friendly debate.
The Usual Suspects (That I Also Love, Mostly)
Okay, Spy x Family is always a winner. Anya's face is basically the universal symbol for "adorableness." I get it. I really do.
Then there's Demon Slayer. Swords, demons, cool breathing techniques. It's like anime comfort food. What's not to love?
And One Piece. Still going strong, still making me cry over found families. Luffy is a treasure. Don't @ me.
The Underdogs (That Deserve More Love!)
Okay, hear me out: Ranking of Kings. Bojji is pure sunshine. If you haven't watched this, drop everything.
What about Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation? Okay, the protagonist has issues, but the world-building is insane! Don't judge me!
Also, shoutout to Vinland Saga! Vikings! Revenge! Existential crises! What's not to love? Come on, people!
The "Wait, People Are Still Watching That?" Category
No offense, but is Attack on Titan *still* trending? It feels like that show has been ending for a decade. Good show, though.
And My Hero Academia? I tapped out after season 3. Too much crying, not enough punching. Just my opinion, folks.
Don't get me started on long-running series I haven't got time for... like Boruto. Maybe one day I will sit down and give it a go.
My Personal "Top 10" (Which Nobody Asked For)
Alright, here's where I get controversial. Prepare yourselves.
My top 10 would include something like Odd Taxi. It's a crime thriller with anthropomorphic animals. Need I say more?
And of course, some Studio Ghibli classic. Spirited Away? Princess Mononoke? The feels are strong with these ones.
The Unpopular Opinion Corner
Okay, confession time: I kind of liked the live-action Cowboy Bebop. Sacrilege, I know. But I thought it had potential!
Also, I'm not a huge fan of isekai. There, I said it! Too many overpowered protagonists, not enough compelling stories. Bring on the downvotes!
What's the fuss about? I'd rather see something original and creative!
The Bottom Line
Anime is subjective. That's what makes it so great. But maybe, just maybe, we should all branch out a little more.
There's a whole world of amazing shows out there beyond the Reddit top 10. Let's explore it together!
Now, tell me what I'm missing. What anime should I be obsessed with this week? Let's hear your thoughts!
