The last anime I actually really liked was Cowboy Bebop. I try getting into it off and on but I’m kind of put off by the common tropes. That said, my d&d characters for the past 20 years have been some variation of “that’s an awful lot of hydra meat that’s going to waste if I don’t cook it” which I understand is the premise of the show.
Is it worth giving it a try? Am I going to have to sit through an unreasonable amount of jiggling tits?
Anime is a medium, not a genre. It’s a medium that’s very prone to Sturgeon’s Law, but there’s so much more out there than just the tropey stuff. No matter what your tastes are I guarantee you can find something you’ll like somewhere.
But it’s hard to really know for sure what you’ll like without knowing more about your tastes. If I have to squint real hard to compare it to Cowboy Bebop, it does share some themes in having a ragtag group of misfits that slowly becomes a found family, and it starts off lighthearted before slowly transitioning into more serious character-driven drama.
