If you like isekai, I recommend Log Horizon and Overlord.

that i watched watchmen for the first time last week

But even they're overridden with some tropes.

anime that specifically aim to break boundaries and attempt to me more experimental, ironically making them more"Western"

The Watchmen movie is so close to being good

tropes arnt a bad thing

Bad tropes are.

perhaps

I specifically mean things like clueless male characters who have no idea chicks are flirting with him.

my best friend was killed by a trope

And when they do stupid and cringey bullshit.

eh thats an old trope

It's an old bad trope.

Anime has some of the worst cliches in existence.

i don't watch much slice of life or harem anime

so i don't see a whole lot of that

the only slice of life I've seen is squid girl

and when i do i watch the shit that toes the line super hard

tenchi muyo wasent bad, the first one wasent bad

I usually like isekais, where that bullshit seems rampant.

So I guess I do it to myself.

asobi asobase is best SoL

and i don't like isekai anime except for overlord

and the one this season that's very obviously trying to be an overlord ripoff with the fanservice turned up to 11

what's the appeal of Overlord, other than lizard sex?

The only good isekai I've seen is SAO Abridged

but that's just cuz i find that level of excessive fanservice funny

Super overpowered main characters beating the fuck out of really shitty people.

have you watched it cwow?

I like how the butler just decapitates a criminal organization in five seconds.

Literally.

i heard claymore was good but i never watched it

Claymore was kinda weird.

Gal Tensei is a somewhat interesting isekai parody manga. It's about some self obsessed high school girls ending up in the RPG world

it leans into isekai tropes to the point of almost mocking them

wait, i did like one other isekai anime

first two seasons yes

but the other world was actually the real world

i hear good things about gintama but i only saw the first episode of it before it was dubbed

it had nothing special aside from hawt lizard sex, so I gave up
