Appreciation post: Seeing fans pick apart color palettes in anime openings made me notice details I always missed.
I used to just watch anime for the story, but after reading threads where people break down every shot, I started seeing how much thought goes into visual storytelling. For example, in 'Attack on Titan', the use of dark blues and grays in certain scenes really sets the mood for despair. Some folks say it's overthinking, but I think it adds layers to the experience. Now I can't help but spot these choices in other shows, and it makes me appreciate the art form more.

Yeah that bit about the dark blues and grays setting the mood is so true. Now I've gone too far the other way, I'll watch a dumb comedy and catch myself saying "the use of bright pink here really underlines the absurdity of the situation" like I'm some art critic. My brain won't turn it off.
