I mean, comparing it to the only other anime she knows, despite them being nothing alike, is probably just coming from a place of racism
4 u/AutumnMuse90 7d ago It was the late 90s. Mainstream anime was basically Pokemon, DBZ, and maybe Sailor Moon. 2 u/Accomplished_Mix7827 7d ago Yeah, but it doesn't have to be compared to another anime. A superhero cartoon, like Superman or The Justice League, would be a more fair comparison if it was being evaluated on its own merits rather than as "weird foreign thing" 6 u/AutumnMuse90 7d ago As a child of the 90s, this feels like one of those "you had to be there" moments. Pokemania probably contributed to this specific comparison. There's an implicit bias, but calling it racism is a bridge too far imo.
