Sounds to me like you’ve been watching too much shounen and need to move on to seinen.

Have a search!

Also attack on titan, still a shounen, makes pretty much zero use of hyperbolic drawing IIRC.

Wow that’s such a strange thing to get hung up on, hahaha

Honest question, do you just dislike hyperbole in general? If you’re reading a book and it reads something like ‘she felt tiny next to him, as if he could pick her up and throw her across the ship’, do you also dislike it?

Because in general anime uses that effect to convey feelings, which are hard to convey without making the characters spill out entire essays on their innermost demons, which in turn is boring as fuck.
