If anime removed OP MCs for 5 years, would you still watch as much?

No Op protagonists, Hidden SSS-tier cheat skills, Infinite MP, Secret demon lord bloodline, No plot armor saves.

Would battle shounen survive? Would isekai go extinct? Or do you think writing would finally be forced to improve?

I might watch more tbh if that kind of garbage wasn't be prioritized and creators pivoted to adapting other types of stories.

Yes, i don't even watch battle shounen garbage or isekai slop at all. As long as ecchi and yuri remain intact and sexy i don't really mind or care about what happens to other genres because i don't even watch them in the first place.

Interesting that the first two replies are from people who already don’t watch those genres.

But clearly the demand is huge. So is it garbage or is it fulfilling something people genuinely want?

I guess that I'd watch a little less.

@Zarutaku yeah me too, I watch mostly OP MCs, But most of the big ones are already completed so, nowadays I watch a lot of comics/manhwa with OP mcs instead.

Getting one or two new overpowered MCs every season is required to keep me engaged. I don’t need ten but I definitely need at least one power trip to look forward to every week 😭

if it lessens predictability, increases creativity, and improves the script, then I'm all for it...

The strength of the mc is pretty irelevant to how much I like them or not.

Honestly? Yes because my taste isn’t built on OP MCs. I'm powered by:

youkai and ghost stories
murder mysteries
slice‑of‑life and CGDCT
sports (boys and girls)
seinen
NEET life
gourmet
outdoors/iyashikei
parody
If anything, i’d be fine.
It’s the isekai addicts who would be curled up in the corner shaking.

@RainyEvenings Well… as a certified isekai addict, I can confirm you’re absolutely right 😭

If OP MCs disappear, I will be curled up in the corner shaking, “just let me see one more OP MC aura farm…”
