A few years ago I would have laughed at anime. I thought it was nothing more than Japanese kids cartoons with that anime girl artwork the "weird" girls drew when I was in high school. Was never into any sort of comics so didn't have exposure to that.
That's until I got bored with western stuff being just not good anymore. At the time I didn't hate it for the wokeness because I hadn't paid enough attention to that, but I just knew the shows were getting really shit. So I decided to give it anime a try. Here we are at the end of 2021 and I'm not sure I watched a single series of anything close to a modern Western fictional series the entire year.
I'm so reading JJK next year. The anime was so good for someone like me, who used to be into all the old 00s shounen shit. Like all that nostalgia, but it is actually good. :D
Watched the first couple AoT seasons, I just feel the answers were a lot lamer than the questions we started out with.
Made in Abyss looks so very good. Pedos can fuck off, they see something like that in everything.
My biggest problem with Demon Slayer is once I get into the groove of watching it there's never enough episodes. It's like fucking heroin. Watched all of them a few months ago and I was looking around for any info for more. The art style is so incredible.
Also, if AoT finally done? I thought they were finished, watched the whole series through the new season only to find out they split the "final season" into two and had serious blue balls so I've been giving it a wide birth to make sure they didn't come out with some shit after the finale to milk it a little more.
The "Final Season" as mentioned by DarkRooster is incomplete, there's still a lot to come and that's going to be in "part 2" of the 'Final Season'.
However the ending is... controversial to say the least and will cause a lot of discussion when the anime finally gets to it since that's what happened with the manga.
I've been trying to get into Re:Zero. Seems like something I'd like based on what I've read about it. I'm struggling to get interested because like you said it seems bland. I'll keep giving it a go at least through the first season maybe will grab me.
Theres some pretty great moments but i felt the same way about it tbh... I powered through the first season though and it gets better, theres some pretty fucking powerful scenes/moments but like... man. It does get better though but it feels like a whole lot of nothing happens for a while until it picks up.
I thought Arcane was really mediocre and the only reason people think it's good is because it's league and because it's not the normal dumpsterfire shit that western studios pump out these days.

Any anime you would recommend?
I used to be majorly into anime, but then shit happened and I'm out of the loop with current stuff.
