Pretty much. I like to get some perspective but sometimes I just dive right in and it is afterwards I learn the anime actually got a very bad reputation, hahaha.
I do have some anime ideas in mind I am not going to try because of what the public have said, like the ones where the main thing is the romance between a grown adult and an infant. Then again twitter and some people in genral can really exaggerate in their descriptions. So I don't know, in reality I guess I am willing to give t a fair try myself if it is something I am curious about.
