the moment that anime went mainstream is the moment that it got stupid and uninteresting, that's when i stopped watching it. the quality just dropped to adapt to the mainstream

    It’s because OVA doesn’t exist anymore. Like all the interesting niche anime were almost always OVA.

    Adaptations can be niche, weird and interesting too, but original anime just tend to utilize the medium more fully and even push the boundaries occasionally. It really is a shame that almost no studios are willing to take the perceived risk of original concepts without an established following.

    You must wear plaid and have a beard with a curly mustache.

    They're calling you a hipster for liking something until it went mainstream and then disliking it because it was mainstream.

    noo haha i don't reject mainstream because it's mainstream, i reject mainstream because it's often stupid and bland.

    for example i do dress more feminine nowadays which is mainstream in the social circle that i frequent, which i wouldn't have dared earlier. but i do it because i like it, not because it's mainstream.

    I mean, basically same?

    There was a kind of... cresting wave effect, where it was getting more popular, and some really good stuff was coming out... and then yeah, it became super popular, and the overall quality of any random show just tanked, with the occasional bright spot of course still showing up.

    I'm baffled that this is apparently a controversial opinion, this has happened in basically every format of art ever.
