I try to like it, but I don't. It drags out. I really enjoyed the first two seasons of JoJo, but the others feel like they're stretching a 4 episode story across 40 episodes.
Modern anime feels a little like Clash of Clans. It's highly commercialized. Instead of making you feel good, it gives you just enough of a feel good dose and hides the rest, so you'd face enough withdrawal to consume more.
It works for something to watch during lunch break, when I just want something mindless to clear my brain and not something philosophical like Loki.
Anime movies are good but rare. I really enjoyed Spirited Away and The Wind Rises.
