Title. I don't follow the anime communities anymore so take it with a grain of salt.

And I swear every popular one is either trying to become viral due a meme or being the same "I'm a loser yet I fell inside my toilet and discovered a new world full of breedable elfs" type... Hell, I bet that's the actual title of the show.

Also they ALL LOOK THE SAME character art style wise, you know the same pretty clean "digital" style made popular probably by No Game No Life 10 years ago. Yes, I'm sure there's a hidden 💎 there, it's always like that but I'm not talking about that 0.5 percent.

There's a lot of crap out there pandering to the lowest common denominator, that much is true. But this is just Sturgeon's Law in action. The industry is getting a lot bigger, which means there's a lot more trash to filter through, but it also means there's plenty of good stuff being made too.
