It's mostly anime for me that I'm a little picky on. I've tried repeatedly to watch Bleach - cannot get into it. Another is One Piece. And I actually did watch a large chunk of the show because it was my ex-girlfriend's favorite and so I wanted to watch it for her, but it just didn't grab me. I also am not thrilled with JJK or Demon Slayer - they just feel like different versions of older anime I've seen. Let's be real, JJK is basically Naruto. Yuji is Naruto, Megumi is Sasuke, Nobara is Sakura, Gojo is Kakashi, and even Sukuna is basically Kurama, the Nine-tailed fox. It's Naruto if it was set in a more modern world.  With Demon Slayer, it's more of a pacing issue that puts me off. While it does also remind me of older shows, it's more subtle than JJK, so it's the pacing for me. The hype moments are hype but everything else is so damn boring to me. I want to like them all - I just don't. 

Two shows I've seen a bit of and simply refuse to get into though is Diabolik Lovers and Mushoku Tensei - both because of content that is romanticized rather than criticized. It makes me uncomfortable that so many people are comfortable with this content. I think it's very telling. DL is one big metaphor for grape and MT has a pedo MC. 

 

There is a regular live action show that was popular but I couldn't get into - but I have apparently erased it from my mind because I can't for the life of me remember what it was.
