Worst experience with anime? Why?
I heard one of my siblings watching something in a language I didn’t understand. It turned out to me Love Hina. It made me fall in love with the language and culture. My interest in the medium itself, I discovered later, perhaps with Pokémon and Dragon Ball. I don’t remember my initial impressions, but it was warm and fun, I do remember. The immense sexualization of females was definitely encouraging to my adolescent cisman self, to the detriment of the female demographic, of course. Rose of Versailles is probably one of my favorite anime. Other than being an amazing story - considering that it was written by a TWENTY year young girl - the way that it conveys emotions visually and through the soundtrack is, to me, unparalleled. I don’t really have any bad experience with anime. I guess I was shocked when
First: Sneak-watching Ronin Warriors with my cousins when my parents forbade anything non-christian
Impressions: I was a child. I ate it up. Even though Ronin Warriors may have been dumb as hell. It’s a show like Power Rangers that was stiched together using footage from two other unsuccessful shows. I would unsuccessfully go on to try and convince my parents that it was a Christian show with our cultural values. Which should have been funny to most people but alas.
Best: FLCL is not my favorite show but it has always just kept turning up in my childhood at strange times. The music and vibes experienced with no context were great. And then when I was older, they’re great with context
Worst: my neighbor asking me to watch some Isekai with him. Just write every Isekai on a really big wall and throw infinite darts until 80 years later when there’s only one left. That’s the worst one. And it statistically will also have incest or sexualize minors
