#“My War” is the only OP from AoT s4 I actually liked and shock- pt1 is the only part of that debacle i could stomach

Me with One Piece. In theory, something with that much worldbuilding should fulfill my wildest dreams, but no matter how many times I try to watch/read it (4 over the course of nearly 20 years), I just can't make myself like it. I like the East Blue saga just fine. I can make it to the start of Baroque Works, but once we meet Vivi, the boredom starts kicking in. And I know why- it's Luffy. I mean, it's a lot of things, but it's mostly Luffy. Can't stand him. There is nothing I hate more than an idiot who never stops shouting (hello Eren Yeager, hello Katsuki Bakugou). I think that's why I like live action OP so much more; I actually found Iñaki Godoy's Luffy funny and charming and I wanted to see him succeed? He does shout occasionally, but on the whole he talks like an actual human being and I'm not desperately muting my phone every time he's on screen. And the fact that people will genuinely say shit like "it gets better after 50 episodes/chapters" without realizing that those are the words of the clinically insane. I can tell if I'm gonna like an anime based on the OP. If I fuck with the OP I fuck with the anime. Guess what show's OPs I don't like.

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever
