What's the deal with anime? (lemmy.autism.place)

Anime is pretty popular among autistic people. However, aside from being obsessed with Voltron as a kid, I never got into it. I'm wondering what I'm missing.

For me it's about the simple portraiture of emotions. It makes it very easy to follow. Also the fresh view on storytelling compared to american, french or german comics.

Plus the oversaturation of boobies.

In a lot of them the main characters are all different bright primary colors if you squint. I find it significantly easier to follow stories with something like that to differentiate and identify the characters

That reminds me of my friend. He doesn't process faces like most people. If someone changes something about their appearance, he has a hard time recognizing them as the same person. For example, we were watching the new season of House of the Dragon. When one of the main characters showed up, he didn't recognize them because they had aged 2 years, so their face changed slightly. See below.

their face changed slightly

Along with their hair, clothes and the ambient lighting (in the pictures at least) :D
Without context I'd never suspect them to be the same person ^^'
