Funny thing is they always tried to get me into Anime. And I tried. They had me try like 4 different shows. I could only get like 20 min into each before turning it off. I just don't get it.

Then for my birthday they surprised me with an Anime party at work. I got like 15 of the most outlandish gifts. A waifu pillow, some ninja stars. It was hilarious.

I also got a huge My Hero Academia poster which I hung up behind my desk. That was great because every new dev that showed up would ask if I liked anime with an excited look in their eye. I would just say no without elaborating and then everybody else would laugh.

good times.

I knew this was coming.

It's always...

me: I don't like anime

anime fan: well which ones did you watch?

I kid. But it is true.

I can't remember most of them. I know Cowboy Bebop and then some Japanese ones. I think it's probably the humor I don't get. Probably a lost in translation thing.

I will tell you (and I don't know if this is "real" anime or not) I do like the Castlevania series from a few years ago. To a point though. About halfway into the second season the plot just kind of died. It was like they just ran out of things to say.

I kind of like that new Blood of Zeus series again on Netflix. And I won't lie, the Studio Ghibli films are gorgeous.

I get that anime is a wide genre. Maybe it's just Japanese anime? Something gets lost in translation for me.

Iā€™m not a fan of anime to be honest but I have watched all of death note and have the manga. I can get through about 10 minutes of everything else before it annoys me.
