TBF too, the vast majority of anime that gets recommended is in a very narrow bandwidth even within that subset. It's changing now, but for years I'd recommend stuff like Satoshi Kon's movies to folks and just get blank stares, but the reason I like them is because they're animation for adults, and not in the Heavy Metal "these ain't your kid's cartoons, we got titties and blood" kind of way. Like they're just serious dramas.

I have so many good anime recs for folks that are not your typical shonen battle animes and whatnot.

I'd love to know what the exceptions are, but I get it. I've got a friend who simply cannot get into comics. Something about the art just doesn't click with her brain. And y'know, if you're consuming art it should be because you fall at least a little in love with it, right?

I liked looking at it most of the time, I'll say that much. Really admired the ambition and the steadfastness it took for him to finally get the thing finished. I've no doubt there were plenty of allusions and historical references that I didn't catch.

I have a friend who reads comics. Reads them. Doesn't look at or care about the art. Wouldn't know what Jim Lee or Joe Madureira were if they bit him. He reads an issue in like two minutes and says he gets all he needs.
 
If you liked The Tragedy of Man, you'd probably like Son of the White Mare.
I'm picky about anime, but I generally love animation. Brains process different media in all sorts of crazy ways. I have a friend who just doesn't "get" music, like he hears rhythm and melody, but gets nothing out of them. And his parents were both professional musicians. My dad is a voracious reader and he watches movies here and there, but he cannot tell you the plot or the characters of any book, movie, or show a few hours after he consumed it and he's never been able to. He just remembers the emotional impression it left (liked it, indifferent, hated it).

I think you're right. I have that buck on PO at least.

I never really understood the economics of how these 3rd party companies can make sense.

Like how many fury bosses can they really be selling?

And then you’re going to make an accessory kit that maybe is exciting for 10% of those? Just doesnt really seem to make sense to me that I makes any kind of profit to do that

I think it's a separate subset of the hobby. I've met a few people who are deep into all these third party bodies with custom soft goods or accessory kits and they don't collect anything from Hasbro or Mafex or whoever.

I know one girl who just likes to make pop stars. And a guy who just makes civilians as art for a personal dio.
