I sometimes click in some random clip of current anime someone uploaded on YouTube, like I dunno attack on titan or chainsaw dude, but that's it. They look cool but despite having the time to watch it I just don't feel compelled to watch the whole show.

I guess it's like the Netflix virus, that you keep scrolling and picking what you wanna watch and at the end you don't watch anything and go back to sleep. Plus, maybe it's the depression, but I don't like when things end most of the time. I feel empty, it doesn't happen with movies but with anime happens, especially when the main character is a dude. The usual end is that he beats the bad guy (or triumphs in life if the show isn't about punching people) gets the hot anime girl, and ends... I guess since I can't get any of that irl it hits me hard.

Well, most anime has always been trash... like all media. The majority of it is trash, and there's diamonds in the rough.

Back in the day Cowboy Bebop was a fluke, an exception, not the rule. There's plenty of easily forgettable anime from the same time period.

I've just gotten more picky about my media as I have gotten older, but I also have become more open to watching bad things for the sake of mocking them as I do.

I haven't watched the Nier Automata anime, but if it's anything like the game, its a rejection of anime tropes and subverts and overthrows them. The game is very anime-in-style. Most deeply humanist game I've ever played and I cried at the true ending.
