What made you stop watching anime and why? (lemmus.org)

Example: I stopped because I grew attached to an anime called Zombie Land Saga (2018) and am currently trying to forget about it now.

I posted about it on Reddit, then on here because I didn’t agree with the writing of the overall show.

I won’t bicker about it anymore though.

The constant simping by neckbeards.
The unrealistic and overly pervasive sexualization of everything.
The boring, formulaic predictability: The boy, the priss girl, the nerd girl with gadgets, the tomboy girl that cleans up, the aggro chick, the alternate love interest. Fuck off already.
The homogeneity of art: everything feels like it was made by the same studio.

As a child I watched Robotech and Macross. I loved Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, and others like that. I realized that anime could be for everyone with Studio Ghibli. There were guilty pleasures like Rouroni Kenshin or Inuyasha. I loved the Ranma stuff because it was just quirky and frenetic. DBZ was fun, but boy did they drag it out. Anyhow...

Next, people will say, "Oh, but you should see this! It really breaks the mold." I'm sure it does. I don't care. I'm over the genre.

Robotech and Macross

Lost interest after that and never came back. I wonder if those old shows still hold up.

Macross often draws me back even if for nothing other than the outstanding music.
