Why do I like watching generic anime
| Yo whenever I watch some types of anime, it just makes me really sad? Tried watching Violet Evergarden last night and got really down. But I've been able to finish Cowboy Bebop and Nichijou multiple times. Maybe you're just not into that type of anime?
Are you too scared to go out of your comfort zone maybe?
| I have completely opposite. I hate generic animes, like I can't even watch them, only if I'm told to watch it, because it's good, like Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. Yes it was pretty good, but I just can't watch this type of anime.
| >>36d061 OP here.
Oh no I just watched violet evergarden and I loved it (aparts from the last 3 episodes) but sometimes I just think it's too much and I want to relax with a light and easy going anime
| More than nothing. I haven't been able to watch any anime in years, I just get bored of most of it so quickly. I watched the first episode of Megalo Box with a friend and I thought it was great, but other than EPs 5 and 6 the rest kept on going down in terms of personal enjoyment. It's not even bad, I just don't enjoy it much.

Well that's what I've been experiencing lately these past few years... any anime I watch, even the ones I found great would soon bore me for no reason
Anyone got a cure for this 'anime burnout' thing
| Only true alpha g/u/rls can embrace the delicacy and comfiness of Slice of Life anime
| Why cure what isnt broken? There's nothing wrong with liking simple shows that hit all your buttons. Only thing is you won't be able to argue with as many people about who the best girl is.
| >>345583 JoJo is cure for everyone's shit taste, if you already watched it you can still wait for Part 5
| >>346297 jojo is extremely hit or miss. i love it but i hate how much the fandom hypes it up as the best thing ever lmfao
| >>346297
Idk man I've read all of JoJo and even that I got tired of as it kept going. Maybe I should have just taken a good break from it...
| Maybe because it’s just easy to consume shows, similar to reality shows or garbage tv, but in this case slice of life animes, that doesn’t mean that they are bad just easy so process
| I guess it is understandable if your day job is hectic enough that you don't have enough sanity to watch drama/intense action at your leisure time
It is just that you should try to watch different stuff, or eventually you'll get burned out/get less enjoyment. Almost everyone that watches anime started with shounen, and if you are deep enough in the community/ have taste at all, shounen is the most notorious sub-genre that burn people out because of the abundance and repetitiveness
| Hyouka is Slice of Life, but I definitely didn't see it as generic. Slice of Life merely describes how character development is not the main focus, they develop but it could be slow as fuk.
| The most generic anime I've ever seen is Working!! And somehow there is 3 seasons of it?? And I watched them
| I don't understand why people consider Slice of Life animes to be in some way worse than other genres, it's a normal thing if you like them, personally I think they're way more interesting than those normie shounens like BNHA or Naruto
| >>de08b0 I don't think that slice of life is bad I mean one of my favorite animes is Non Non Biyori and kill me baby but there are some very generic slice of life animes
| >>346821
Because you are failing to see that both of them have the same quality, marketed for a different niche
Shounen:
Muscular bois, screaming competition, everything is intense/full of action, repetitive
Slice of Life:
Cute girls, high pitch girl voices, everything is chill in which "nothing happens", repetitive

Taking a break is what I recommend, I am currently doing that for vidya and it's working out well so far. I only play for an hour on the days I feel like it and I really enjoy it (unlike before). I spend the time I used to spend on vidya on other new hobbies.

So what's your point? If you say that Shounen and Slice of Life have similar qualities, then you affirming that g/u/rl's statement. If Shounen and SoL have the same qualities, why is SoL considered to be in some way worse than other genres
| You answered nothing
| >>347622
Both of them are seen as crappier than other genre because it is predictable, repetitive/formulaic, only cater to specific niche.
The difference is that shounen is seen more as garbage if you are a jaded anime fans/have seen enough anime.
While SoL shows are mostly hated by casuals/people who don't watch anime.
I am mostly belong to the first group and there're a few (not a lot) SoL shows that I can appreciate, while I can't remember the last shounen that I enjoyed.
| shorter answer: No, people don't see SoL as worse than shounen or other genres. People see both of them as equally worse, it just that some people hate asspulls + screaming competiton, while some other hate to watch pointless and cutesy stuff.
| It's simple OP. You have shit taste but are self aware enough to notice it! =)
| I read ranobe, anime suck.
|
| I thought "generic anime" would be popular shounen. How did Slice of Life get in there?

| Alot of the time I just don't feel like getting into a real story driven series and end up watching generic school life anime with generic 3-4 girls group with generic anime personalities but I love it for the generic cute girl designs that are repeated in every anime
