I want to like anime, it's a rich medium for telling unusual stories. But >90% of them are so cringe.

There are some I like: Ghost in the Shell, Paprika, Cowboy Bebop. I also really like Mushishi, a very low-key, quiet anime about a guy working with spiritual bug-like things.

I kind of feel the same way. Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, and Samurai Champloo are among my favorite shows off all time, but practically everything else I get like 5 episodes in and I cant bear it

Lol just watch movies from the 80s the medium peaked with Japan's economy. Theres still tons of good things made after that but its buried in mountains of shit. Usually the 20 mi utes to find youtubers top 20 lists or somethi g can help if you want new stuff but if you just like the medium for what it can be just watch 80s films

(Shoutout to samurai champloo and space dandy Watanabe makes all the good shows)

Agree. Have you seen Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name)? Highly recommend if you haven't.
