How can people watch moeshit and shoneneshit for decades without ever seeking something more?

Why do people unironically recommend mushishi? It's pretty bad, and is easily outshone by even mediocre series about very similar subjects such as natsumes book of friends.
Is the adaptation better than the source?

Sword of the stranger is moeshit?

I was thinking Natsume's Book of Friends was better than Mushishi too since I'm reading it right now. What I dislike about it is its insistence on recapping literally everything every chapter. It seems to be dying down a bit though now that I'm almost to volume 10 but it's still ridiculous. I've only read the Mushishi manga too though, haven't seen the anime. I doubt it's all that much better. People on Zig Forums just generally prefer anime, especially those ambient anime even though they vary wildly in quality. Not that I disliked Mushishi but it did get kind of stale. I liked the setup of the mangaka's new manga more but that series is ending after less than 20 chapters which is disappointing.

threads like these have to be bait

Wheres ping pong? It is the peak of anime

Who knows. I know a guy that won't watch an anime unless it's bloody and violent. I try to introduce him to anything else and he shuns it outright.

>just no
Then leave.

>>nausica
>again just read the manga

Fuck you! the film is great

In the trash with the rest of the Yuasashit

different shows have different appeal, shonen and moe are the most popular among the average beta weeb
yeah I found out low-vibes effect you
no it's just the kind of think a low-testosterone male would watch
that includes actual kids though

They are literal plebs. This boards agues over entry level anime like the big 3, Evangelion and DB constantly but one barely ever finds some obscure good anime being talked or shown to expand one´s library even when they post the seasonal lists...

>just no

Kids more likely watch the ultra violent OVAs because kids like violence and blood and stuff.

Imagine keeping this image unironically

What are you gonna do about it?

Name one from that entire chart thats "obscure"
>inb4 pic related
it was 7/10 at best

the mushishi anime is definitely an improvement on the manga. I really love both Mushishi and Natsume, but I'd have to say Mushishi comes out on top for me.

tell you to go join the 42%.

Claymore anime ends better than claymore manga
>muh isolated island with experiments for big continent
I hated it as much as i hated in is AoT

I really like violence and cute girls

Claymore shat the bed at the part where it ended compared to the manga though

You'll grow out of it.

Maybe none would qualify as obscure but at least not entry level, which is the actual point.

Low standards, moeshit and shonenshit can be good too if effort is put into it.
