Yugioh. Nostalgic af and some cool parts still, but the plot and the pacing is not great and the characters can be pretty dumb. I don’t rly recommend for ppl who didn’t grow up with it

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei 😭 there’s a lot about it that I still love but the teacher-student harem / schoolgirl fetishism shit creeps me out now and all the punchlines about Maria were sooooo racist

Also Sonic X. Jfc that show is trash. I’m sorry to any Sonic fans in here but I was a fanatic back in the day and watching that as an adult is just 😓

oh, and speaking of racist & xenophobic “immigrant character” tropes, Excel Saga is lowkey unwatchable in retrospect cause of the entire Pedro storyline

really quite depressing how US-type racism is so influential as a cultural export that even in Japan they sometimes use demeaning Mexican stereotypes for “immigrant character” gags

even if it’s supposed to be played as self-aware humor or w/e, the way it’s executed just amounts to 2000s “ironic racism”. like demonstrating how totally not-racist they are by ?? continuing to perpetuate offensive cliches, just with a wink and a nudge

Oh dear, Sonic X. I watched the same episodes on repeat so damn much. I wouldn’t be surprised how badly it aged.
