Are there any recent anime that’s really popular but you don’t rly get the hype? (Read desc)
For me, it’s Apothecary Diaries, I tried watching it but couldn’t get past 3 eps. I usually don’t like episodic anime (except if it’s a comedy) and this was pretty “mystery of the week”, I did not care at all for the side characters, the comedy felt forced and I personally didn’t see the appeal in the mc that everyone else did. There’s also Kaiju No. 8, I remember reading the some of the manga back in 2022 and watching a few eps of the anime back when it aired. Imo it’s awful, the plot, villain and main characters are all so generic and boring to me. My Deer Friend Notokan is also another I didn’t like, I thought it wasn’t funny. The show basically revolved around the idea that random=funny, which is not true.
