I'm so tired of shitty anime getting recommended to me

I'm really getting tired of looking through anime lists and constantly getting shitty anime thrown at me because these list writers can't tell the differences between a well animated series and a well written series.

So what am I bitching about this time? Vivy: Flourite's Eye Song. If you think that the title sounds anime-typical pretentious, well, you're right. The entire series is your typical pretentious sci-fi that apes much better sci-fi by copying their story beats without actually understanding the thematic reason they're good.

( Cut for lengthy ranting. )

In conclusion, this series is thematically incoherent and it's genuinely baffling to me that people watched this and thought that it deserves to be the anime of the year.

All I can say is: skip this series. Go watch ODD TAXI, an actual good anime that explores modern life, the dependency on technology, the deleterious and beneficial effects of smartphones, and the social tensions that plagues metropolitan life. It delves deep into the human condition and paints a complicated tapestry of city life. It is, hands down, the most thoughtful series I've watched this entire year.
