Its being recommended on the front page of my family’s Netflix accounts, and the description is super generic. There’s a pretty good chance people just try a show without bothering to dig up all of the details about it first. We’re not all spending the day on anime forums. 🤷‍♂️

Thats…not what I said lol. I was there for every one of the shows she checked out and recommended a few myself based on old memories. Sorry I apparently hit a nerve trying to add an anecdote to the conversation.

My point was frustration trying to filter fan service out of shows where it can just randomly pop up out of nowhere 12 episodes in with a surprise upskirt or beach episode in a cool giant fighting robot story or whatever.

Because unless you are already interested enough to keep up with all of the new releases you end up throwing a dart at the board filled with recommendations you’ve heard were good and get slapped in the face by the fan service fairy before the end of the first episode of whatever you landed on. They also seem to be some of the more popular shows so they get shoved in your face as recommendations on streaming platforms etc. That’s the only reason I’ve heard of Chainsmoker Cat for example.

My daughter was getting into anime a few years ago and even going back to the classics it’s really hard to avoid the eye rolling booba jokes and upskirt shots. Maybe I’m just old now.
