I'm generally picky about how I spend large amounts of time. As an adolescent I watched like 700 episodes of One Piece but I eventually gave up. At this point I can't be bothered with any Shonen; they're the equivalent of junk food. Even Mob Psycho 100 started getting tiresome in season 3.
I've never appreciated bishoujo/harem garbage; I had coworkers that watched it regularly and it was very off-putting. They are horny and delusional, pretending there is substance.
But I still think there's a lot of solid art in manga/anime. I tend to look for popular seinen manga that turned into anime, like Akira, Berserk, Monster, Ghost in the Shell, Death Note, One Punch Man. But even some of those end up going downhill or failing to evolve out of the "edgy and violent" stage, e.g. Attack on Titan.
Clearly the garbage is what makes money, which is a huge shame.
And AFAIK Hayao Miyazaki does not like to be associated with the Anime genre and would prefer being grouped with the likes of Disney. And I think that's quite appropriate.

.I actually wasnt aware of OPM being seinen. Felt like a good paced shonen and slap-stick humorI'll check it out.
Not sure how definitive that OPM classification is, but I see OPM as a seinen that deconstructs shonen via satire. It presents the absurdity of the superhero endgame with a troubled god-like protagonist. It also redefines what it means to be a hero in a realistic and inspiring way (via Mumen Rider).
Makes sense. Maybe I didnt pick up the subtle hints.
I did see the action and a bit of satire but not that much.
