Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

I think it’s best to just skip any anime with a title that’s longer than 5 words. Nothing good will come from watching those.
[immediately opens my anime list and starts counting on fingers]
Never watch Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Or Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, et cetera et cetera.
Giant Robo the Animation: the Day the Earth Stood Still but it's isekai LN adaptation slop
Sure! I’ll watch the Hollywood movie instead. Only 4 words.
I kinda want to watch the Japanese dub of that movie now lol
Especially if the title is also a question
"I think it’s best to just skip any anime."
Fixed that for ya.
Not to write off everything that's animated just because but... yeah, "anime watchers" are on par with "gamers." There's a big difference between "being a gamer" and "I love Disco Elysium." Same with "I loved Grave of the Fireflies" and "I love anime."
