Anime is pretty popular among autistic people. However, aside from being obsessed with Voltron as a kid, I never got into it. I’m wondering what I’m missing.
For me it’s about the simple portraiture of emotions. It makes it very easy to follow. Also the fresh view on storytelling compared to american, french or german comics.
Plus the oversaturation of boobies.
I’m an autistic who doesn’t like anime.
The last few shows I saw I consider an old shame because I disagree with the values although not all of them are bad, I think.
I did grow up on anime and manga too but I still didn’t agree with both medium’s values.
I’d rather read comic books and watch cartoons although I blew most of what I watched and read out of proportion because I disagreed with the values portrayed in both.
Most anime I saw were stumbling blocks for me because of the acting and writing, not to mention the old shames that I moved on from.
