Yeah, pretty much every harem series after 90's ended just hasn't been very good. They just throw the girls at the MC nowadays and they don't have to work for their harems anymore. They also do stupid shit like removing any other male character from relevancy for the sake of pandering. Most people that make harems these days don't try to tell a story anymore, they're either in it just for money or they are completely devoid of imagination and/or experience with actual human beings.

>>122295206

A lot of 90's anime like Genocyber, Yotoden, and Demon City Shinjuku were pretty horrifying imo.

Harem, especially harem manga is like fast food.
It's not fulfilling at all but it gives you some goofy feelings while reading it, and then you feel empty and have to take a nasty shit afterwards.

But I can't stop.

I hate Mecha when the actual Mecha aspect isn't even apart of the whole point of the plot, and really it's just a way to have cute girls doing cute things
Evangelion doesn't count, since despite many people saying nothing matters in the show besides it's philosophical message, the fights are awesome, and the designs for the Eva Units and Angels are creative. And the Angels and Evas are metaphorical themselves, so they do matter.

Horror is just shit in general, doesn't pertain to anime only.

There is so much shitty horror film and tv shows.

>>122301940
No it doesn't. Read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_fantasy

>Urban fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy defined by place; the fantastic narrative has an urban setting. Urban fantasy exists on one side of a spectrum, opposite high fantasy, which is set in an entirely fictitious world. Many urban fantasies are set in contemporary times and contain supernatural elements. However, the stories can take place in historical, modern, or futuristic periods, and the settings may include fictional elements. The prerequisite is that they must be primarily set in a city.

It's only requirements are that it's fantasy set in an urban area, and they are most often given contemporary settings. F/SN fits it to a T.

Mecha isn't a genre, unless you really think Ideon and Patlabor are the same stuff.

That's more or less because Horror is very hard to pull off with anime. Horror is generally about subtlety, about quite, creeping terror, at least in shows that aren't shitty jump scares. Animation, as an art, is all about exaggeration and style and the two don't mesh together well.

I do think that this series of shorts, if not terribly "good", is at least a very admirable attempt at it. And some are genuinely scary.

Depends.

If it's SoL with no comedy or drama, it's pointless.

This applies to a lot of SoL anime because they generally are not funny at all.

Romance.

Anime in general can't do it very well.

The romance series that are praised here are shit. All people describe is the "alpha MC" and the fact that it only has two cliches rather than eight or nine.

Toradora is not the greatest love story ever told. Taiga is an insufferable girl.

>This is the real greatest love story ever told.
Can we stop the meme where people pretend to like teen melodrama revolving around suffering and unrequited love rather than character and romantic development, and that masquerade themselves as "realistic romantic drama"?

>Before discovering 2D, did you guys get bullied by hot girls and hoped that they secretly liked you?
No, I had a couple hot girls who I bullied and found out they put up with it because they liked me.

3DPD is fucked in the head.

Are you telling me this isn't how biking works?

SoL is objectively the best anime genre. Don't even bother arguing, you know it's true.

>>122315105
Even by yuri series standards it was complete garbage.

For anime and manga: "that makes you think", from heavy conversation like Monogatari and Onani Master Kurosawa which I love but they are more drama than psychological, just not melodrama like Shoujo.
For what it should be: "Mind games within the story and for the reader" like Death Parade, Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue and such.
