Anime was the shit when I was 14, but my long and complex relationship with anime I think has finally died. Modern anime seems to rarely have budgets to actually animate their shit, and I find it hard to keep up with all the drawn out, overly complicated shows bogged down with filler. If you enjoy anime that is great, but I find it a largely wasted medium, with most of its highlights behind them.

Similarly I find the same with Marvel and DC. Trying to keep up with their continuities is pretty much impossible without Wikipedia constantly open and I ultimately just get so frustrated that it ends up turning into boredom.

The only reason I don't all out hate Marvel and DC is their ability to travel across so many mediums so easily. You can count the amount of classic mangas/animes that translated to successful live action flicks or franchises on one hand.

And the fact that pretty much every superhero is iconic in their own way, where's if I asked someone who Hisui Kisaragi is, they probably wouldn't be able to answer me, even though he's the protagonist of my favourite anime.

Power Rangers is one of my all time favourite franchises but I DESPISE how it's marketed. MMPR and the other ones. Not only is MMPR a pretty poor show, but it's an even worse representation of the franchise as a whole and the juvenile attitude towards the Disney era by Saban is disgusting.

Sentai is certainly handled a lot better, but I can honestly say that it is also a franchise I don't really care that much for, as so many of sentai's classics have been adapted into Power Ranger shows that have a place in my heart already.

Thank God for Kamen Rider.
