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 “set up an exaggerated flaw and make them learn their lesson :)” children’s show thing

To be fair, don’t look for that trope in children shows.
You should probably try some reality shows instead.
Early Survivor sessions are doing what you just described.
(the modern session, (i would say starting from Heroes vs Villains) are way too much for me.)
And if you want real brain-teasers… you could check out the Devil’s plan (it’s a korean Netflix show.)

I don’t watch children’s shows anymore, just explaining why I didn’t like the ones recommended to me

I also don’t like reality shows I don’t have any mental buy-in there

Sometimes subtly isn’t in service of being understood. I have seen people have what appear to be pretty clearly misinterpretations of media because the text wasn’t being heavy-handed in explaining itself. I’ve done this myself where I thought about something later on and realized I had something all wrong. The writer(s) have to set the bar somewhere, and compromise accordingly.
