>>742349I think it's getting watered down and kinda "gay" as you say now but back in the day it was quite edgy and had very good stories like crest/banner of the stars. Lots of gore, sex and things that weren't normally in animated stuff. Kid shows were always kinda boring but I wouldn't put down a whole type of animation. Just sorry that some of you who just start to experience it consume modern/new anime.
SOME modern anime is OK but it seems repetitive and not really new. Also it's tailored more for international audiences now which was one of the reasons I liked older anime when it was truly unique.
In any case, Ran is cute and ZUN is a nice guy.
