Like how the creator of studio ghibli makes his female characters, most of them now are just BOOM cute BOOM childlike BOOM Big hoonkers BOOM moan every sentence BOOM fan service like I'm a pervert ok I don't mind a little fan service but when the show is about defeating an eternal demon but all you see is "NYA!~ how are we gonnaUHH!~ defeat this guyAHH!~" or maybe I'm just on the wrong side of things idk👶🏻

100% agree. Too much of this kind of fanservice focused writing will make me drop a show. I hate it.

Yh how they portray characters for the sake of 'fan service' is rly weird and just ruins it when trying to enjoy a show, without it then a lot could be better and focus more on the plot
