  • None of it?
    The more popular movies seem to get a good review (Akira, Spirited Away)

    Live action movies and Netflix's determination to buy up all the franchises and turn them into CGI hasn't helped.

    Possibly. Maybe I haven't had enough exposure. Grave of the fireflies has stuck with me for a long time, but obviously that was the emotional story. The subjectively crap animation and annoying voice actors, not so much.

    My daughter is currently watching a show on Netflix called 'Demon Slayer'. Absolute shit.

  • The subjectively crap animation and annoying voice actors

    Them's fighting words. Of course, Studio Ghibli fans might not be the most frightening mob.

  • You need to watch Perfect Blue to overcome these feelings

    Have a watch of Urotsukidoji: Legend Of The Overfiend and Fist Of The North Star. Will change your view of Anime. And probably your view of tentacle rape. If you didn’t know tentacle rape was a thing, you do now 👍

  • voice actors

    Yeah, that's been an issue with english dubs for a long time. I almost exclusively watch with subtitles.
    Almost all modern anime seem to miss the beautiful aesthetic that you got from purely hand drawn cels in the 80s and 90s.
    I can definitely say most of my viewing is finding old gems these days.
