>>43265>too full of ironyThat one played it straight. I don't have a issue with if they do it ironically or play it totally straight, it's about doing it well and telling a interesting story.
Like I loved KonoSuba (aka KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!) because it was well done, high effort, and mostly due to it being hilarious. But a lot of shows feel very low effort, badly done, and can't hit whatever feeling they aim to invoke. While this isn't a exclusively recent problem, because more shows then ever come out each season and each year for the past few years compared to last decade, even more low effort low quality slop is produced as a consequence.
Speaking of slop, I am also super annoyed that a lot of sites I use for watching anime are getting utterly flooded by cheap nonsensical Chinese slop. It makes searching by genera to find a show to watch irritating.
