I went to the 100 Girlfriends panel at Anime NYC which had the Japanese VAs of the main cast. It was sooo cool to see them perform live, i never thought I’d see Japanese VAs irl.
I also felt rlly self conscious cuz I dragged my friend w me and they rlly didn’t like it 😭 I forget that ppl that aren’t familiar with anime think the fan service/over the topness is off putting wijdjfijg. That got me thinking abt how Dan da Dan got flamed for having rapey connotations.
Idk why anime is so weird.. I mean so is Japan. It’s a multifaceted convo, but I personally feel like some people should give more leeway to anime for being too fan servicey/weird/whatever. Obviously too much of it is bad, but I feel like Dan da Dan is so much more than that.
At the end of the day, everyone has different levels of sensitivity/tastes, but it’s so jarring to me how people seem offended/put off by things I don’t find a big deal.

My thoughts about dan da dan:
I started watching it because alot of my friends recomended it??, but dropped it at like ep5 beacuse I thought it was abit uncomfortable to watch, although the anime overall was good.
