What even is a normie.

Someone who only likes popular things to an extreme degree (i.e because they're popular), and has no interest in exploring beyond that.

In the 00s it would basically be someone who only watched things like naruto, one piece and bleach.

Humanity's real enemy is me!
Hya hya foowah!
I still remember this conversation between 11 y/o boys at a summer camp I went to in the 90s.

Boy 1: My favorite anime is Dragonball Z!
Boy 2: Mine is Tenchi Muyo!
Boy 1 isn't that for girls?
Boy 2: what no way! It's full of babes!
Boy 3: I really like Cardcaptors! ..... :shobon: for the art I mean, it's really good

I think I was like 9 at the time so it was a really seminal lesson to me on gender politics

I remember watching some magical girl shows when I was young and liking them. I have vague memories of watching Tokyo Mew Mew and I don’t know why it sticks out to me so much

Pokemon is good. You should also check out the pokemon Sun and moon anime at some point-a very different style of animation, but it honestly works to make the show much more lively and charming.

Let me be clear. Eroticism has its place and I welcome it, but immoderate, over the top fanservice is only desired by cringe-lords. I don't watch too much anime but even shows I think of like Bebop have their share but it seems like there was a clear point in the past where it became especially egregious.

Japanimation is pretty good because they're very attentive to detail and respectful of the work of artisans in Japan!
