Unpopular opinions about Anime/Manga

Like 80% of the people posting in these forums tbh, not sure how that's an unpopular opinion.

Well most people here usually type something like "I hate mecha except CG/TTGL" and when you look at their list CG/TTGL is the ONLY mecha they saw (^%

- The harem genre is admittedly not my favourite, but I don't mind it eiher. That something can be seen as 'fanservice' or that it is aimed at a male demographic, doesn't make it less sexist. Not all fanservice is sexist. I don't think Shokugeki for example is sexist. Honestly, if the Monogatari series would only be the stellar animation, cool fight scenes & prolonged conversations without Araragi molesting young girls and actively hitting on and saving every woman he encounters, I would probably love it.
- I didn't say anything about it being a romantic or a platonic crush, I also think it could be interpreted both ways, but am personally leaning more towards the romantic crush. Togashi mentioned in a note included in volume 1 of Yu Yu Hakusho that he wanted to write a sports manga, called The Trouble Quartet, where basically all the characters are gay. Togashi said he based it off his own interests as a writer, and that while it was refused by Shonen Jump, he got deeply attached to the project and that he would love to explore this project in a different shape once he made a name for himself. In short, Togashi has always had interest in queer matters, and was always interested in putting queer representation in his work. After YYH and Level E (the latter also being quite queer, for if you haven't seen it), he managed to snatch a contract that basically allows him to do whatever he wants with HxH. A more obvious example of a queer character in HxH, which is not seen as an unpopular opinion, is Alluka who is seen as a great representation of the transgender experience. I also want to elaborate some more on “心中” (shinjuu). As stated in the video, shinjuu is when two people die out of love, by the same method, because there’s a belief that this’ll allow those two people to spend eternity together. Why would a writer, who is expressively pro LGBTQIA+ and has always freely stated he likes to write about it, deliberately choose to use a word like that and mean nothing with it? The same with the "you are light" scene, there is just a lot to merely call it coincidence. I own the volume myself, but if you're looking for evidence, I found a Tumblr post where some sections are photographed https://telehxhtrash.tumblr.com/post/623569848340971520
