Continuation from the discussion of “what are your comfort anime?

By that, I specifically mean, “what anime makes you anything but comfortable, but rewatch anyway?” It could be for various reasons, I imagine.

In my case, two of my three regularly-rewatched anime, I do so because of the catharsis (Violet Evergarden and Your Lie in April). The third is equal parts comfort and anti-comfort, so they cancel out (A Place Further Than The Universe). All are intense enough for me to only rewatch once a year.

    While I’m not sure I understand the premise, the only thing I’ve ever had a ♠ romance with has been Attack on Titan. I hated that first season with a fiery passion even on my first watch, despite being absolutely captivated by the first episode. Like, I will give it props for having such a marvelous set-up that you immediately want to know where it all goes, but I was constantly enraged by almost every plot beat. It kills off characters you don’t know or care about and yells at you to feel something. The MC maybe goes through some struggles before it was revealed that no, he’s a genius and people were just bullying him. Then it has the gall to make him God’s specialist little boy. The only character I even liked was General Pixis, tho Armin has his moments.

    I’ll refrain from talking about spoilers in subsequent seasons, but those also pissed me off. The main reason I haven’t actually finished hate-watching the entire show is because it took so damn long to come out, and quite frankly I needed my spoons and straws to survive the politics and plague of the last ten years. Funnily enough, all my friends save one are of the same mind that AoT sucks, but AFAIK it’s popular among the greater anime community.
