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'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.

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.
