How does it feel knowing a Redo of Healer fan has better taste than you?

i completely get where you’re coming from. after catching up on dandadan and watching the latest episode, i can’t help but feel a little baffled by the overwhelming praise it’s received. sure, it’s entertaining, but i struggle to see what sets it apart from other series in its genre. the protagonist doesn’t stand out much to me—they’re serviceable, but nothing groundbreaking. the animation is fine, but not exceptional, and the soundtrack feels like it’s just… there. none of it really grabs me in a way that feels memorable.

what really gets me, though, is the lack of emotional depth. it’s hard to connect with the characters or the story when it doesn’t feel like it’s saying anything deeper or hitting any emotional highs. i keep wondering if i’m missing something, or if maybe the hype is less about the series itself and more about the broader community embracing it. it feels almost like the kagurabachi situation, where the excitement might be more of a cultural moment than a true reflection of the series’ quality.

maybe people are drawn to its quirkiness or its energy, but for me, it doesn’t quite hit the mark. i want to appreciate it more, but so far, it feels like a series that’s more popular because of the zeitgeist than its actual substance.
