I realized after typing like 200 words that the anon was probably just trying to be a dick and didn’t actually need help finding new stuff. But I did make a little incomprehensible “”tips n tricks”” to finding new stuff to get into when it’s hard
so one thing that I didn’t say clear enough last time is that it’s not abt watching some things less it’s abt adding more if that makes sense. like for me I like uhhh code lyoko more than a normal amount.
I don’t like it for one single reason but if I absolutely had to choose a thing to try and pinpoint it’s probably shit like the ensemble cast, the hero/double life aspect, the surprisingly dark tone, the sci-fi/drama genres, nd the monster of the week style. if I wanted to find a new show or comic or whatever I’d likely just. search up “shows about x “ “comic with x” “sci fi drama shows” etc
I also recommend tv tropes! sometimes it’s hard to pinpoint what u like abt something, and tv tropes can def help identify tropes, writing devices, plot points etc. it can also just help u find new media lol
for example I really like mlp:fim, unfortunately the other gens do nothing for me. after thinking abt it what I love abt fim (specifically the first three seasons) is the ensemble cast, the art direction, the mixture of both mundane and fantasy, the magic system, the fun world building, and the character focused writing style vs focusing on a big plot (for the most part)
the first thing that comes to mind is witch hat atelier, a manga about a young girl obsessed with magic accidentally on purpose becoming a witch herself and slowly uncovering the conspiracies of witch society while also getting to know other young witches and her mysterious new teacher. her relationships with her fellow witches in the atelier are some of my fav parts abt the manga, however the thing that really sealed the deal are it’s art direction, magic system, world building
From there I can go even further; and this is going to be really funny. when I think something like wha, the first thing that comes to mind is part one naruto! but this doesn’t seem helpful unless u already know what u like right? wrong! that’s where Google and tv tropes come in!
Nother thing I recommend, if ur not getting the shit u want outta the media u like, sometimes it’s okay to step away from it for a little bit. naruto shippuden will never have the ending that satisfies you specifically but maybe just maybe ur hurt no comfort narusasu fanfic can lead u to giovannis room or shit it might lead u to challengers.
maybe challengers will lead u to castlevania and maybe castlevania will lead u to interview with a vampire which can lead u to Disney channel original my baby sitters a vampire or hell it could even lead u to bram stokers dracula
The thing that got lost in my last post I think was that it wasn’t abt never never never watching shit for babies because “uhhh it’s for kids” it’s more abt the fact that u can miss out on soooo many stories and so many expirences thru so many different ppls eyes n shit
idk if u like little Einsteins your prob gonna like doctor who
if u like idk zooftopia u might like beaststars or sly cooper (play sly cooper… but watch out! the racism…)
If u like inspectors gadget u might like fucking columbo or macgyver
a lot of people argue that kid shows are the only shows with lessons and morals and I disagree. U can learn something from everything I think it’s good to intake a lot of different things 😳😳
Now on god if another motherfuck twist my words I’m gonna shit myself
thinking about the nigga on anon who got really mad I couldn’t rec them shit that wasn’t cartoons because I had no idea who they were and what they liked to watch.. good times
#hell I decided to test this shit out myself cause duh#thru that I got to stuff like power rangers but I wanted something that had like a similar tone so I kept looking#funnily enough I ended up getting recommended buffy the vampire slayer#at first I was like huh cause I never watched it#but they’re both longer series that are very fantastical that feature young protags going thru life while also dealing with a gigantic#responsibility where the fate of the world literally rests in their hands. and the fucking school dance is tommorow#then I swooped the other way and was like okay. but what if all the angst headcanons I had abt code lyoko were actually present in the text?#boom. nge#similar premises however starkly differnt tone wise#if I was someone else trying to use this ‘’’method’’’ I would most def choose like#Buffy over nge (I still haven’t finished nge but I know it gets real mind fucky)#(maybe Buffy does too? idk ik it can get pretty dark but not nge dark.. I hope)#but yeah once again not saying to stop watching u like. u like it for. reason.. but maybe if ur trying to get depth from bubble guppies you#should consider watching h20. same channel and everything#I sound sooo condescending but like this helped me sm when I was younger. and like still helps me now#I’m realizing now that the anon prolly just wanted to get buck but like. it can be hard to find something new esp if u don’t like to branch#out. sometimes trying to listen to new music is painful to me because.. it’s new?#idk it’s like 2am#this is how mlp and fear and hunger are the exact same thing jkjk#rambles
