  • Yes, it was “Your name”!

    You have to put the scene in the context of “anime” the genre. Anime is known for its fan service and adding such a scene in your supposedly sad and serious anime make the viewer automatically believe it will be full of it.

    Tbh, I got burnout from the endless fillers of anime as a teen after watching one piece, naruto and bleach, so my level of tolerance for anime bullshit is really low, and only studio ghibli works manage to never go above zero in my anime-bullshito-meter. I actually believe that, when used correctly, anime is one of the best medium to discuss complex and adult themes.




  • I used to watch anime because of the compelling stories. Then I got fed up with the endless fillers and the creepy fan service. An exemple :

    Not long ago, my bro highly praised an anime movie that supposedly had a serious and sad story that would make watch anime again. I stopped watching when in the first ten minutes there’s a body swap and the guy inside the girl body start groping themself in front of the mirror.

    I only watch studio Ghibli movies anymore.
