The latest anime that wowed me was to your Eternity, especially if your into Eastern philosophy and stuff.
Hells paradise also wowed me as a straight battle Shonen that is quite beautiful, with lots of spiritual themes.
One Piece holds a special place in my heart. Watch up until time skip, then read manga.
Vinland Saga is amazing. Straight up. Great study of politics and humans search for power and inner peace.
For the record I consider HxH and FMA:b to be Shonen high water marks.
“It’s only natural” seems to be the go to.
The people in my personal life, though, are mostly just EXTREMELY wary of just about any information at all.
They are more comfortable putting shit down to some conspiracy, rather than looking at how awful some people are outright.
I don’t think they want to admit, or submit to the hopelessness of the situation, especially economically. So they rather keep themselves busy with petty bs.
