1. Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 2. Trigun 3. Attack on Titan 4. Neon Genesis Evangelion 5. Gurren Lagann

I've actually been recently getting into Jpop so I'll definitely be trying a few of these. I mostly listen to J-metal like babymetal etc

My current top five would probably have to be; 1. Death Note (my favourite by a long shot) 2. Monster 3. Yuri On Ice 4. Banana Fish 5. Love Through A Prism My favourites do tend to change every now and agan though :] But I've been obsessed with Death Note these past few months, so it snuck back up to the top again

Villain, because the villain sets the circumstance in which the hero exists. Looking at it this way, the villain here can be just whatever constructed the circumstance, i.e., the context of the hero, and thus does not need to even be a character and can be practically any contextual problems that justify the hero's existence.

It's become significantly more accessible, and by that I mean it's easier to find and watch. At least where I lived, anime used to be the kind of thing you had to specifically seek out on television schedules (often at weird hours), go digging through video/DVD rentals for, or figure out how to use torrents and file-sharing services, etc. Now, there are numerous streaming services that offer anime as part of the package, and of course entire services exist almost exclusively to stream anime. Finding relatively reasonably-priced Blu-Rays is as simple as opening Amazon. In effect, anime consumption has become a lot more normalized and mainstream, though I'm not sure if the greater accessibility is the cause, effect or both. While I sometimes nostalgically pine for the days of frantically watching fansubbed anime in three parts on YouTube (because there was a sizable chance it would be copyright struck sooner than later), if more widespread acceptance of anime means newer generations don't have the experience of being shamed for liking it, I'd say that's worth it. What really spells it out is when I was buying some manga in my local major bookstore recently. Time was, said bookstore chain had maybe one shelf for manga volumes, and you were seen as "weird" for buying it (I actually had a clerk comment once "Shouldn't you be reading real books?"). Nowadays there's two full aisles for manga and light novels. The clerk (an elderly woman) had a Frieren pin and eagerly asked for recommendations for new anime, while another, younger clerk gushed about how much she loved Witch Hat Atelier. No way in the world would that have happened even a dozen years ago.
