I fucking hate anime dude like for fucking real this shit is disgusting as hell, everyone in this community knows I despise it
Btw you guys watching the new season of Steins;Gate? Pretty sick
No but in all seriousness did you really say anime is full of cliches?
One of the reasons I watch them is because sure, cliches will be everywhere, but most series have an original touch and such, as well as different stories, special effects and animations as well as drawing styles...
In the case of western media, I couldn't help but fucking anticipate every fucking shit that is going to happen, from romcoms, to terror movies, through all fucking genres, it just gets so cliche and repetitive you are watching the movie and narrating what will happen in the next 15 minutes at the same time.
It's like watching the same movie again and again and again. Even in the case of Ready Player One, which is filled with loads of details and hidden stuff and such, I could notice cliches here and there. By the way, that movie was the first time I've paid to watch one in the cinema in three years. At this point in time it's such a pain to pay fucking 9€ to see the same thing with different characters, won't lie.
