So anime actually dulls the sense of critical thinking and analysis in consuming media? |

Consuming large amounts of something and being able to correctly discern what is and isn't good are separate things, Adnarel. Though I thiiiink you're just shitposting anyway |

Well, I don't think anybody looks to me or Miral as experts in anime discernment. Probably since we both sometimes knowingly consume shit. And because Miral hates everything. I guess people look at Simple that way, but he's an aniblogger, so |

You start off watching things that interest you. Once you have your fill of stupidity and recognize the cliches, you start to look for things that buck trends and stand on their own as good anime. Later, once realizing that those sorts of anime come out too infrequently to sustain that kind of taste, you start figuring out the superficial stuff that just naturally interests you despite the anime itself being complete shit. I like to think of it as the 5 Stages of Death By Anime: 1. Anime's pretty interesting. Someone introduced you to Naruto and Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and you can't really stop. 2. Anime's actually pretty awesome but not everyone is accepting this concrete fact. Code Geass is the best anime to ever grace the planet. You get into a fierce argument with a reviewer about the correct viewing order of the Fate franchise. 3. Anime starts to lose its luster. SHAFT anime start to look the same, BONES always gets crushed under its own potential, KyoAni won't [radio edit]ing stop with the moemoekyun, lolSunrisemecha, and your friends are already at stage 5 at this point so they will no longer talk to you seriously about your shitty positive opinions on the latest popular anime. 4. Cry about how no good anime ever come out these days. Rewatch Neon Genesis Evangelion for the fifteenth time but only for the nude shots because Rei deserves your love. Pass on Ping Pong: The Animation because it doesn't look anime enough to count. Keep watching anime even though you say you hate it. 5. Accept that your taste is shit. Watch only idol/precure anime unironically and insulate yourself with other Stage 5's on Twitter to protect whatever semblances of good taste you have left. |

Evangelion is considered 'good'? I could only make it a few episodes in until I couldn't stand how whiny Shinji was being. |

I mean, if you were going into the show expecting to like Shinji then that's purely on you. |

Not really, a lot of people just have an attachment to it because of nostalgia. A lot of mecha shows that came later took certain key elements of it and improved upon it substantially, watch idol anime instead. I bet Adnarel secretly enjoys everything he hates on, from anime to jazz flute, especially moe anime. |
