He likes cats and he likes messing with people which is why I think he’s obsessed with Kyubey

Also the characters aren’t very smart. I tend like shows where everybody is smart or at least unknowledgeable in a realistic way

Hunter X hunter iirc featured all characters being comedically overly intelligent. Although iirc it was mostly battle intelligence since well it’s a shonen

yeah, but I try to be patient with this a bit more because sometimes a character needs to be flawed in certain ways to have them grow and learn things from first principles or whatever. like sometimes a protagonist is a little asshole, but then the text makes them suffer as a direct response and they become not a little asshole anymore. If they’re unrealistically flawed, it’s probably because the writer(s) does not want you to miss that it’s an intentional flaw.

I cried when I was 20-21 when I watched Shrek 2. It legitimately moved me. The next time I remember crying was Ranking of Kings (anime). And then after that EEAAO. I haven’t been moved by other media (games tv shows films books) in the last ~decade. I used to cry all the time when watching TV as a kid

Funnily enough Sonic 1 also made me cry and I watched that last year

Sonic 1 was a fantastic film (to me) that just ended up incorporating the Sonic character. But it wasn’t needed. It could have been any other character and the film still works. It’s my favorite one of the trilogy

I don’t like stories that feel like they’re characters a writer made up that follow the rules of writing. Unrealistic flaws and blind spots that make them feel unrelatable. It makes them feel ungrounded and childish to me

I like stuff where there’s a lot of smart characters who know the others are smart and are trying to achieve their goals while working around unexpected problems. Like obviously they don’t have to be perfect, it’s good when they have insecurities and blind spots that events put pressure on, but the whole ā€œset up an exaggerated flaw and make them learn their lesson :)ā€ children’s show thing
