Enter the Anime

Enter the Anime is a 2019 documentary film by Netflix about anime and its influence on culture.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) It's nothing more than a poorly disguised 58 minute commercial for Netflix's own anime.
 * 2) On top of that, some of the shows highlighted (like Castlevania) aren't even anime, only anime influenced.
 * 3) * Its creator, Adi Shankar, isn't Japanese as well, despite this movie saying that "the heart and soul of anime is in Japan".
 * 4) It does not mention the other popular and influential anime like Astro Boy, Cowboy Bebop, anything by Studio Ghibli, etc.
 * 5) * They also interviewed a person who worked on Neon Genesis Evangelion, one of the most influentual anime of all time. However, they interviewed not the creator (Hideaki Anno), not even the animators, but Yoko Takahashi, the woman who sang the opening theme.
 * 6) The anime industry isn't depicted well, highlighting it as "revolving around weirdness" to the point it feels incredibly orientalist.
 * 7) Godawful and annoying editing with filter overuse that rivals mh:crappygames:Plumbers Don't Wear Ties.
 * 8) The host, Tania Nolan, is incredibly obnoxious and attempts to pander to a young crowd while failing miserably.
