final thoughts on anime and how I can no longer enjoy it unironically

I started watching anime at 5-6 years old (depending on what you count) and since that day it was my favorite thing to do. I watched nearly all episodes of every anime that was available in my country, and when I turned 10 I started using the computer to find and watch more. In recent years I realized that anime quality has been declining, one thing I noticed was that it's mostly unironic fans that are the loudest defenders of anime.<br><br>•The first problem I noticed was what I call "dream-harem-syndrome", a disease where one of your characters is a 13 year old ugly kid who spends the majority of his life picking his nose and then somehow he is the most attractive and desired male in the community, and every other male is a total loser who stands zero chance. <br>Usually he is silent (or has a bad attitude) which only amplifies his attractiveness somehow <br>The male is so irrelevant, so why even make him the main character just give the story to the girls at this point<br><br>•The second thing was the over-sexualization of children. Can someone explain to me why is ecchi anime where one of its main selling point is chapter after chapter of a 13 year old girl being one of the most popular anime on the entire platform? What is wrong with you? <br>Or how is loli-bait a common thing? <br>I swear to god when even the anime industry does not see anything wrong with this I can not continue to support it and be a part of it<br><br>•The third thing that made me stop loving anime was that the stories became worse and worse. The story is all over the place, un-connected, un-reasonable and all over the place. This is the time when the Disney pattern of storytelling became popular in anime. By that I mean you have this "chosen one" who is a weird ugly kid that is chosen by the gods to do god knows what. <br>Also some anime have their character completely spit on the rules of the entire world so that they can show off their power. This is dumb as hell and there is no point in creating rules if you will just break them whenever the plot demands it<br><br>•The last thing is the "episodes-per-season" trope, where an anime starts being good, then during the middle is starts being meh, then it is its best near the end, then is turns back to being meh. This is overplayed and annoying, and it is just sad that one of the only time an anime will be good is when it is near its end, and even then only some do it good. <br><br><br>A lot of other things are wrong with today's anime, but I am out of words to describe them. The only thing I can do now is reminisce of the days when anime was good, accept that I will never be able to be an unironic fan of this, and welcome the slow death of this industry<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit: I got banned from r/anime for sharing a dead link?
