What made you stop watching anime and why? (lemmus.org)

Example: I stopped because I grew attached to an anime called Zombie Land Saga (2018) and am currently trying to forget about it now.

I posted about it on Reddit, then on here because I didn’t agree with the writing of the overall show.

I won’t bicker about it anymore though.

I'd love to watch good anime again, same as with any good TV/movie, but no longer hang around people who:

mentioned an interesting anime like any other show, and not as a long list of recommendations or rabid fandom. Talk to me of your favourite anime like you would of The Bear or Fleabag, sheesh.
were ones whose taste regarding media I trusted.

Basically too much shite, no interest to wade through it and no easy/natural filters available.

I understand what you’re saying.

I used to read manga and watch anime until I realized I don’t feel comfortable with either.

Now my tastes have changed since then.

During the pandemic I browsed anime again and really enjoyed My roommate is a cat (and not really anything else that came up). My husband and I like old-fashioned cyberpunk, so on his suggestion we watched and enjoyed Edgerunners.

So there's still anime out there that matches my tastes. It just doesn't usually come up, and I don't follow releases or check anything out "just because it's anime".
