Memes about this show are so hard to avoid. After a week of seeing like 4-5 a day I said fuck it and watched a synopsis of the series. The ending seemed insanely contrived which put me off but for some reason I ended up downloading the show and starting it. I got the point where I personally thought they should have ended and then I stopped watching the show.

I’m still confused as to why the hell I watched it in the first place. I mean, it wasn’t a waste of my time. Was rather quite enjoyable. At least I can get the fuckin’ memes now. Hasn’t really changed my opinion on anime (nothing negative, just not really for me 9 times out of 10) but I’m still just… why the hell did I watch that?

Anything you’ve watched for reasons that you can’t quite place? Whether you loved it or hated it?

    So One Punch Man has been suggested to me before. What you said about the B Story is partially why I’m not interested in it.

    I’ve become real fuckin’ jaded. I am so tired of heroes. I grew up on Bond who is hella flawed and has serious problems but then its just like everything got saturated with that. When I was watching Death Note I was enjoying it because the main character was the bad guy for once. Not to mention the point at which I quit meant that the bad guy won. I’m tired of heroes and of the conflict within and having to cope with that. Also I’m a Superman stan and that’s the majority of his shtick when you analyze it so I’m familiar with it as a story.

    Overlord I’ve heard mentioned a lot and might sell me because he’s not necessarily a good guy. He’s just a dude.
