42% of Gen Z watches anime weekly. Streaming services are taking note. - Tubefilter

Anime shows like 'Naruto' and 'My Hero Academia' have become dependable bets for streamers as Gen Z becomes more interested in global culture.

I knew anime was far more popular than it was when i was a jit, but that's a crazy number. back in the early 2000s I'd say it would be like 1 in 20 maybe 1 in 30 people watched anime, and that's counting the folks that only watched DBZ.

I always got some mf trying to “put me on”
It’s just not for me man, I will acknowledge the dope ass animations and stories, but it’s just not for me.

I don’t watch Anime much, but that Frieren series is absolutely A1. Especially because I like RPG video games.

The thing about anime/manga is it’s so easy to get into. You start from episode/issue 1 and you can talk about it at some point. Lends itself to easy cannon community-building.

Making nikkas more weird.

Dork ass niccas.

FMA still fire, but these gen z clowns jumped off the dork ledge

Eh, people be doing way too much.

Used to hide it because folks would look at you weird if you spoke about it.

Now I hide it because people do weird shyt around it. Getting into shouting matches over their favorite female characters and shyt.

Forget a well told story with characters who grow and change like people should.

"Nah my waifu can beat your waifu. shyt, I spent my last paycheck on a figurine! You ain't got shyt ON ME!"

"You ain't gotta body pillow MFer. First edition, with her white wedding gown, biiitch."

They do this shyt online and in public now. Ugh.

Between fandoms bytching about animation, shipping characters together that have no chemistry, dropping spoilers on people who just started the anime, drooling over 2D titties (I mean LEGIT simping, like she gonna hop out the screen and hold their hand if they keep defending her honor or some shyt) , arguing about the dumbest shyt, etc. I stay away and keep it to myself unless someone else mentions it.

Some of the worse humans be in those places.

Anime got too focused on fan service and that took me out many many years ago. Also I most of the stuff that is brought here are aimed at teens. Back in the 80s and 90s they had a lot of dope anime for mature audiences

Yea I like anime, but hate anime fans. I'm a grown ass man though and don't watch the shyt any more and can't stand when these nerds keep trying to put me on when I already told them I'm not interested.

I'm hella choosy with what I watch and I don't blame you at all man, you get it.
Some of these authors just phone it in for easy money and MFers eat it up
