In any form of media, be it video games, books, movies or anything else, most of the content will be generic. It is easier to produce and still has an audience so it's a quick and relatively safe way to make money. This obviously happens even more with content geared towards a younger audience. This is nothing new, entertainment always works like this. The easy solution to this is to simply not watch them if you don't enjoy them. There are numerous quality shows getting released even at this moment, you only need to pick the ones you like.
Idk when I was younger I loved it ate that shit up but now I guess I’m just growing out of the same old same old
It's normal to not like 90% of anime, but finding those 10% isn't that hard, unless you refuse to drop anime you dislike. There is more anime released now than before, so even if 90% is shit, I think there is more good anime overall. Here is 20 good anime, that's both pretty new and not generic:
Monogatari Series
The Tatami Galaxy
Mawaru Penguindrum
Humanity has Declined
Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica
Mahoujin Guru Guru 2017
Lupin III: The woman called Fujiko Mine
Ping Pong the Animation
Katanagatari
Teekyuu
Shirobako
Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu
3-Gatsu no Lion
Steins Gate
Girls Last Tour
Keep your hands off Eizouken!
Chihayafuru
Wandering Son
The eccentric family
Nichijou
Avoided listing great anime, that you may consider "generic" like Heartcatch Precure, Hunter x Hunter 2011, Haikyuu and K-On!
If you're ok with movies and MVs, here is 5 more
The case of Hana & Alice (movie)
Gotcha (Short)
Harmonia feat. Makoto (Short)
Kotobadori July 2019 (Short)
L'œil du cyclone (Short)
Thanks this will help I see a good amount of new titles there
Miru tighs and I want you to make a disgusted face and show me your underwear, both have unique and original premises
Also good luck finding original things in other medium, don't know if you are aware but great shows are great because they don't come often
Hahah your right and thanks for the suggestions
FUCKIN GENERIC ASS REASON ANIME CHARACTERS DO THINGS FOR
This does piss me off. Very much.
Thanks for the comment 😂
You don't know what "Shonen" means.
I definitely do and all shonen or not all but most follow the path that is boring and predictable I have seen shonen that looks for a older target audience and that is ok but it’s still bad and it’s not just shonen ik that shonen looks for a younger audience but I’ve seen some that blew me away so I’m running my expectations off those
So don’t watch basic Shonen or other stuff that is generally targeted towards a younger crowd. The problem is with your choice of anime, not the anime itself
There are anime with serious topics that target an old audience but you are right the ones made for younger people/kids are very simple and easy to see through
