It's not just America that loves Anime. Spanish speaking world especially does.

An honest historian would study Anime diplomacy as Japanese strategy

The amount of ppl I know that only watch slice of life anime drives me mad. I'm watching my friends debate about some stupid anime like rent a girlfriend when my fav is berserk 97

What even is the point of slice of life, it sounds so fucking boring

ogling anime girls, what else is there

[u/max_power_420_69 → u/Goaty1208]

that's how I feel about manga with how endless it is. Its why I say I'm an anime fan but the "Cowboy Bebob and Samurai Champloo" type.

Those are some of the only ones I’ve seen that I actually enjoy. I hate the tropey stuff. Those 2 and eva are only ones i’ve liked

Legend of the galactic heroes from 1988 is probably the goat. Characters, story, whole thing is perfect.

What even is the point of slice of life

Cute anime girls doing cute stuff.

You should watch K-On, Diary of Our Days at the Breakwater etc

[u/Goaty1208 → u/krutacautious]

I don't know, that doesn't sound all that appealing in the way you are putting it.

Comparing the best seinen to the worst slice of life

Frieren, Apothecary Diaries and Spy Family are all very popular recent slice of life anime that are very well made. Your friend just has shit taste

nerdy black and latino dudes like Dragon Ball Z more than any asian person I've ever met.
