“Sorry doc, was thinking about work. Did you say something about line go up?”

That sounds like mental illness.

ETA: Replace “work” in that quote with practically any other activity/subject, whether outlandish or banal.

I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about baking cakes.

I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about traffic patterns.

I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about cannibalism.

I sit through movies but I don’t remember them because I’m thinking about shitposting.

Obsessed with something? At best, you’re “quirky” (depending on what you’re obsessed with). Unless it’s money. Being obsessed with that is somehow virtuous.

Loving all of the Odd Taxi mentions.

• Planetes (sofa king good)
• Hellsing
• Area 88
• Genshiken (adults but college setting)
• Read or Die
• Gundam 08th MS Team
• Excel Saga (the main cast are all adults, but it’s a comedy and just about everyone is an idiot, so they won’t necessarily act like adults)
• Gintama (main character is an adult, his sidekicks are not, but the majority of the cast is adult. Again, comedy, so maybe not “adult” enough lol)
• Cowboy Bebop
• Way of the Househusband
• Gundam Thunderbolt

From my spouse:

• Servant x Service

Not sure if it’s considered true anime, but Castlevania on Netflix was excellent.

I feel both attacked and validated.

Some of the common critiques have themselves turned into memes. But they’ve been beaten to death by this point. I’m not sure if everyone you know just has bad taste, or they’re just bandwagoning the hater train (or both).

Might as well find out for yourself! The show isn’t considered a classic for nothing. (And don’t skip the movie, End of Evangelion.)

And/or clapped, depending on which version you’re watching.

I turned amber alerts off. The only time alerts have come through is tornado or flash flood warnings.

Same. The original movie didn’t really grab me. SAC was entertaining enough. Just kind of fell of my radar after awhile.
