After mid-2010s I stopped reading mangas, mahnwas and watching animes, mainly because, many of those that are coming out have this edgy, depressing tone.
If I want to be depressed, I'd just look at my students' lives. Those felt more real.
Well they were able to convey how the MC's life was in S1-S4 but in S5, they suddenly pull this bootleg BERSERK mini arc along with the sadboi narrative.
I get that the authors are trying to paint the MC is a realistic light but with the way, the story is moving. It feels so much forced.
Ugh, lotsa anime MCs nowadays follow the sadboii route. I'd like to see something that actually cheers me up, than make me feel like I just lost the whole world.
Anime Sadboii according to Hans: "They killed my ma, my pa, my sis, my lover, my dog, the lizards that live on our ceiling, and they'll pay for it. Also, I got this cute girl who loves me, but she dies in the end, so fuck you world!"
