there is no universal peak thing. even with yourself.
when i was still in HS, i watched an anime (k-on) because people were raving about it. it was meh for me. fast forward to adult me and i rewatched it out of a whim and it makes me cry. mostly because it was covid and i was quite lonely. it remind me how life was, i can relate.
I wish everyone can find peak things in their life and be reminded that life is good.

Say you haven’t watched Twinkle Nora Rock Me without saying you haven’t watched Twinkle Nora Rock Me, fake fan.

Yeah I still remember like a dozen years ago watching a Digibro video that was trying to proclaim “your tastes should always be changing!” and I was literally within 2-3 years of their age at the time and was like, “how fucking young are you that you think this is a revolutionary thing to say?”
Like, my love for FMA has only grown over the years as I’ve matured and am better able to appreciate its themes, and meanwhile I can no longer stand even a single minute of Hetalia. Similarly, I grew up on all the long-running shounen battle anime like DBZ, Naruto, Bleach, etc., but I couldn’t bring myself to like Fire Force because I’m not 15 years old anymore (though I will admit HeroAca is a guilty pleasure of mine).
Literally me after dozens of people kept pestering me about NGE.
I think on the one hand it is fair to say NGE is one of the greats from its time and arguably one of the most influential anime ever made (to the point where it’s now part of Japan’s cultural identity – you can hear Cruel Angel’s Thesis just causally as waiting room music for instance).
On the other hand, even as a fan myself I recognize how many brain-dead evangelical (heh) supporters try to tout it as the end-all-and-be-all of anime when it’s really just an unorthodox entry into a very specific type of genre.

Yeah, I get that. I’m sure it was great, especially if you were young at the time. But watching it as an old fart that is already familiar with a lot of similar shows (a lot of them probably heavily influenced by NGE), it just felt very mid.
can’t argue about taste ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Every time I try to show someone Haibane Renmei
My condolences. Haibane Renmei is one of my favorites.
At this point any Love Live adjacent content is welcome
Reygle@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago If anyone ever says that about S1 of True Detective I’m going to prison
They won’t sent you to prison for bad taste, no worries.
(No clue what S1 or True Detective are, Im just trash talking here)
Honestly, pretty much my reaction to most things that are popular. They are just, “eh.”
Mind, I also expect most people to not be into my jams. A taste for monster girls, Patlabor, Legend of Galactic Heroes, La-Mulana, and Perun is a pretty eclectic mix.
