Visual novels and JRPGs aren't anime nor manga... There is an "other games" section for that stuff.
I second that. I'm fine with graphic novels, but visual novels are in the computer entertainment realm. Sure, there is often plenty of anime work done to produce RPGs and visual novels, but I don't know if that's what the OP wants to discuss. Perhaps we should wait and see what they have to say about it first.
So, to get back on subject, I ran into an anime a year or two ago that sort of killed my desire to look for new anime to watch.
C for Control. After the second episode, I disliked the art style, premise, pace and writing so much that I couldn't give another moment of my attention to it. This one came at the end of a string of animes I just didn't like. Not that any of the anime I found were "nails in a coffin," so to speak, but media isn't as inspiring as it once was across the board. I haven't enjoyed movies, comics, cartoons or anime in a long time, save only for Adventure Time, which isn't doing enough to keep my attention. Since GitS:SAC and FMA ended there has been absolutely no reason for me to own a television, and digging up things to watch online only shows me that I've already seen all the good stuff.
That, and top ten lists show that most people have only ever seen ten animes, and seven of them were bad. Many of the shows I thought were interesting have plot holes, bad visuals, lazy writing, and wouldn't belong on a top ten, and I still prefer everything I've mentioned over what most consider top tier. This makes it hard to find good things to watch by way of recommendation, because I feel as though I've already seen it all at this point.
I've been through over 6000 pages (by conservative estimate, CONSERVATIVE) of manga that resembles a Saw movie, manga that will remain unnamed (I said too much in an earlier post already). This trend of ultra-violent media doesn't have a nationality, so don't think I'm pointing the finger at a certain island (Britain). Have you read any underground American comics?
At the end of the day, Nichijou is preferred. I used to read all these dark, underground anime, reinforcing this dark idea of myself, but I found myself, and I'm actually very soft. Hence, why I'm a big fan of Ghibli up until Miyazaki left. Now that Ghibli has been owned by Disney for some time now, I don't know if I will be able to enjoy it as much in the near future. I much prefer Mononoke's character when compared to any Disney princess that makes the thin claim of representing strong women.
You think the same racist company responsible for Mulan is going to do anything good with a foreign studio? Disney will more likely hinder or attempt to bury Ghibli than anything. I'm not one of those people who believes Disney is part of an MK Ultra program, but I don't much care for how they turned it into a pole-dancer training alternative to MTV. It's sickening, and Disney has proliferated racism in their cartoons so much that it would be idiocy to trust them to do good with a Japanese studio.
Maybe in the next five years I'll have something new to gush about, and I'll bet that the next big anime I enjoy will not come from Ghibli studios. Storytellers like Miyazaki are many, but are not common, and not all studios have people like that.
