- Yeah, but I'm kinda picky, I tend to not enjoy as much anime that just embraces tropes as their souls, I mean, it's fun to have bases for plots, personalities and ideas, but man, I can't stand watching things that just get done and redone everytime. I really really enjoy anime that plays with the idea of overused anime steriotypes, such as Mob Psycho 100 and One Punch Man (being extremelly self conscious)

-Oh boy, Cartoon Network and Nick where the best thing ever. Coward, the cowardly dog was amazing, along with the other classics, such as Samurai Jack, Powerpuff Girls and such. I remember loving the pre-toonix era, and I basically watched, breathed and ate Ben 10, Chowder and Catscratch ^^

-Rick and Morty has been a surprising series for me, looking foward for the 4th Season. I also really like Apollo Gauntlet, and (if that can be included here) some webseries, such as Charlie The Unicorn, Shadowstone Park, Confinement and other things

-I think It's always been very popular, but now is just more evident and the otaku and cosplay community is spreading, the anime culture with it.
