I haven't watched the Pokemon anime in a long time, is there anything truly worth going back to, or is it all just blind nostalgia? I'll occasionally read news about the series, like how Ash finally won the Pokemon league, and has at long last been written off the show. Honestly, I lost interest in the anime after the infamous XYZ meltdowns and subsequent Sun and Moon seethe. Nothing will ever top that.

What's up with these in Japanese media recently? Back then there were blacks in media that were just black. All of these international-coded stories like Macross, Gundam, even more recently Full Metal Panic had a few. Normal black people. The African resistance arc in Gundam ZZ was particularly amazing. But now it seems they are representing specifically American ghetto blacks, rapping, gangster-like dress, behavior and hairstyling. I guess you can say there was Afro Samurai, but that was an outlier, American co-production, and not popular in Japan. Killer B in Naruto was not even well-placed in popularity polls either, why do these type of characters persist?

I've been watching XY on tubi, it's pretty good, even for an English dub.

It seems to me that many NEET wizzies do nothing but watch anime all day. That would be tens of episodes a day. How do you guys not run out of stuff to watch? Where do you find new shows?

I opened this thread to answer your question, but it is already answered by plenty of people above so I am going to talk about a bunch of software and hardware that improved my anime experience instead. I wish someone told me all of this years ago and that is why I am telling you all of this now.

mpv - the go to video player. I never knew how much I was missing out in video quality, color gradient accuracy and video player performance before discovering mpv. It can also directly play youtube videos if you have yt-dlp and ffmpeg installed on your system - easier to do if you are running Linux. There are also video profiles for mpv that I didn't bother with but some people swear by them; they could be worth checking out.

qbittorrent - the most complete and hassle-free torrent client. it can directly search anime torrent trackers (or general purpose trackers for that matter) with search plugins - small python scripts that you can directly integrate into the client. it also has an integrated rss reader that can automatically fetch and download anime episodes as they are released in torrent trackers - extremely useful and only takes 5 minutes to configure at the beginning of each season.

anki - studying premade anki decks is how I learned the basic japanese grammar rules and some kanji. entirely optional and applies only if you are interested in learning japanese or other things that require repetitive recall.

the monitor - a quality OLED monitor can really make the colors pop and offer a more pleasant experience. again, entirely optional and more of a quality-of-life investment if you have money to spare.

Production standards changed, the longest the reach, the least that can be shown. It started with the 2011 Touhoku earthquake, it messed with the japs mind, and media tried its best to make everything as feel-good as possible. Even Detective Conan, a murder mystery series, had to turn blood brown.

You can't really have "dark" media these days because everything has to be about how being gay is okay and that niggers should have sex with your wife. If it isn't AT LEAST that level of soycial progressivist, then it is "problematic" (ergo cannot be produced)

the problem with YouTubers who make videos about Japan is that they spoil Japan for you like someone could spoil a film for you. they show all the facets of Japan. everything is discovered, nothing is hidden so that once in the country, you will be amazed by things that you did not know about Japan. Japanese youtubers are worse than weeaboos.

I have enough of japanese youtubers. they're ruining japan and vlogs were a mistake [in japan]. It is almost ruining japan for me (I never went to japan but I wish I did). I don't like the youtubers one like logan paul or jhonny somali, and I EVEN don't like those who respects the culture or aren't harmful to the country. they may act normal and respectful but I don't like them because they're normalfags and normalfags are already social people (this mean they generaly go outside or to parties or eating in restaurant in public) in their home country so they don't act weird in japan. I don't know about the weebs/otaku in japan, they seem to be discreet. I don't want to associate with normalfags. nevermind, there's a high chance I'll never go to japan

I'd recommend waiting a decade or two before going to Japan, &/or throwing a coin/thimble-sized-trinket on top of a map of the Japanese isles and visiting there, since the tourist traps are flooded with disrespectful "normies", vloggers, and God forbid, Yakuza activity funded by tourists using Yakuza lassies.
Japanophilia is an ancient phenomenon, but is ultimately a self-sustaining immune system, because in a Paris-syndrome-esque manner weaboos get let down when they go there and when they experience the healthy in-group preference of Japan's ethnic normality. It is true that Japanese outsources have become poisoned by… a variety of corporate and non-corporate influences, but old Japanese media is still preserved, and the Japanese countryside hasn't been meeting a fate similar to my nation's (England) because Japan's population is regulating itself.
Despite what people say, no, we don't need exponential population growth for every country.

In response to OP, don't be so silly. The implication that unknown facets of Japan are being broadcast to the public is an unfalsifiable anxious cope because the very fact that the facets are unknown means you don't know them and can't recognize them.

You stupid cunt. How new are you to the internet? This is a forum, where users talk and discuss.

NTA I don't like moon either, and I'm not leftwing in any sense of the word, but Japan genuinely sucks, even more so than western nations in certain aspects. The only reason why faggots simp for japan is because they got their cherry popped by anime in childhood. Once you get over that and see the country for what it is, you'll never be the same again.
