Lots of romance anime are high school, beach episode, culture festival, fireworks, class trip, entrance exams. If I’m out of better stuff, I’ll put up with it. I was realizing the other day watching one that I thought was more complex simply because different characters had different motivations. It’s such a low bar at this point.

Shonen just all are making a different system for power creep to happen. I tend to stay away from them as it’s just not interesting. Hunter x Hunter is an example that started off decently but then introduced nen and types of users and just escalates from there. The Bomber guy was just the worst with his convoluted rules during Greed Island arc.
