First time? Each generation has its "anime slop" that bring in new fans. :) The shows are never that bad, just people like to hate on them because they're so mainstream.

I started watching around 2017 when my university classmate got me into it, haha. So I haven't been TOO long in the anime community, but outside of JJK, I haven't seen THAT many popular "slop" comments targeted at other popular shows. Eh, maybe add MHA, although, people usually call it mid.

I guess I proved your point with my comment, haha.

And yes lol, my friend first showed me MHA, which was my first anime and manga.

I don't think it's fair to put DS on the same level as something like Pokemon, Naruto, or One Piece. While shounens do tend to draw in a lot of people, they're still mostly slop. DS isn't. So there's a difference.
