I straight up hate modern anime for a bunch of reasons. Mainly I don't care about anything new they animate, the animation getting worse with shit like CGI, not really liking the characters/protagonists, etc. I like anime, this just isn't my era. When i first saw Gundam Wing on Toonami it was visually so different, it was more mature, etc than all the other cartoons. I also watched shit like CCS just because I liked it. I'm just bringing up this tangent because if someone hates anime, or loves it. I consider the worst possible psoition to hold, anything that is non-commital, where you wait for everyone else to say something before you voice your "opinion". Because anyone with half a brain can see it's just snake behavior, even if it's minor avoid these people like the fuckign plague. This is proven, remember how Connor collabed with Ollie years ago, how he wanted to get close to Mori and hey he found a grift with Ironmouse and never interacted with Ollie ever again.
