Japanese humor is fucking hilarious because it's not censored and watered down for the pre teens.
I've seen bleach through in a bondage reference and i pissed myself laughing.
The only anime I ever really enjoyed was Ghost in the Shell. It has a good pace. Slow and intelligent at times, and quick, action sequenced when it needs to be. There's no spiky haired school kids running with exaggeration and screaming with veins popping out of their foreheads for half the show, which is what makes the series that much more relateable.
That and the art style absolutely demolishes anything series like DBZ or Pokemon could ever hope to accomplish.
If there's any one you should give a try, Ross, it's that one.
Dead Leaves had style enough to get attention from the right crowd. But it seems the generic anime is what gets the bulk of the population, which is what they want. If you can get 70% of a crowd to like your anime because of how (generic element) your anime is. Then your getting a nice chunk of money. And it does have a shockwave effect. But then that 70% would try to defend that one generic anime to make the others seem bad.
But it works as a nice filter. As long as all the good shows aren't crowded by the wrong people.
