I like some manga and anime, but I usually come away with an uncomfortable feeling when I interact with passionate fans of manga or anime. To me, the vast majority is crap, but there are some good gems here and there. Hardcore fans though are all about the most boring or weird shit, and even have a slightly off sense of humor. I’m sure I’d be seen as some filthy casual who just follows the mainstream shit, like how people outside of RPGs only see DnD as the entirety of the role-playing hobby. It’s probably always going to happen between casuals and passionate fans of any topic.
Similar here, I enjoy a few anime and will admit to people I know that I have and do watch anime. I have no interest in discussing it most of the time as I don’t want to interact with weebs or be associated with them.
Helps that I have zero interest in romance or isekai anime, my interest are all based and related around watching a whole lot of dragon ball as a kid so I watch similar things now
Majority of everything is crap, we just get all anime now instead of the handful big hitters that toonami imported.
In high school I mentioned that I'd just finished Death Note and enjoyed it. The Anime Kid berated me for watching a normie show and made a bunch of references I didn't understand.
Check out Gintama subreddit. It is much pleasant compared to other anime subreddits for example. Most posts are just people talking about their favourite storylines, characters and jokes.
