    1. Accept it because it’s never going to stop. It’s not even a “trend”, it’s something that can happen to any story.

    2. Not every anime can be Evangelion or Frieren, most shows get a good plot, script, style or animation, very few have it all. These are commercial products. Basically you get one and that’s it.

    3. Wdym turns out? If the selling point of your story is cringe shit like “aura”, it is shit by default.

    4. … The more you build something up, the harder the expectation becomes for the product. It’s an unfair standard because build up is so easy by comparison.

    5. Literally Solo Levelling. The art in the original Manwa was awesome but the story is so stupid lol

    6. Mynoghra from last season. But I still enjoyed the heck out of it. 

      I’d say it’s a perfect formula for one season isekai, where a weird / bizarre setup or concept is explored, and it doesn’t need to be an amazing story. 

      Tangentially this might be where AI generated animes come in, creating average content from average light novels with interesting setup. Costs $100 per episode to make. I’d be fine playing these in the background while working out.
