In my teens, I lived in a region where the affluent prioritized appearances over deeper values. This environment made me look for something more meaningful.
Growing up in these circles, I often felt out of place. This led me to discover anime. The creative and intricate narratives of anime offered a refreshing escape from the often superficial world around me. Anime was my first discovery of something not driven by consumerism. Though not perfect and often flawed, it stood out compared to Western works.
Memories of my peers drawing anime characters so passionately were what introduced me to Anime. I've got to see the first-ever story that diverged from Western clichés and the consumerist rush there. The deep plots and philosophical elements in some series were a welcome contrast to the instant gratification culture I knew.
Anime opened doors to worlds that made some sense in human nature and morality, through these stories, I found joy in media content for the first time.
Yeah, I pretty much like all Isekai, definitely my favorite genre! Overlord being one of the best there is. Bone Daddy is one of my favorite characters!
Movie will prob come out next year, but hey, 2024 isn't that far away!
A more comprehensive but less coherent list of my favorites can be found in my Anilist: https://anilist.co/user/ShadowKurgansk/ (I just like certain aspects of some characters, they're not 100% favorites).
