>>220464812 Having a character that doesn't understand things or is goofy is a quintessential archetype for comedy going back to ancient Rome. That character is largely there to set-up punchlines, so you just make them dumber and dumber so they can get even more laughs. The problem is that at some point, it gets in the way of the joke and you start expecting them to fuck everything up. Plus it's not easy to write retards. Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson are supposed to be idiots, but they're way past functional. They weren't even idiots originally, they were just stubborn and foolhardy and kinda dim in some places, so making them idiots felt like the later writers didn't understand what made them work
>>220464812 >I mean sure, if there’s an anime that goes above and beyond what’s expected I might feel like giving it a watch, but just watching it because I’m expected to is not right.
>>220464812 I’ve tried a few and I have no idea why it’s so popular. Attack on titan was “decent” but that’s about it. Just feels like I’m watching a children’s cartoon most of the time.
>>220464812 I don't watch any cartoons except for older South Park and Haha You Clowns. Anime is/are? the worst kind of cartoons and as such, I shant be watching.
