Eh, I like to watch animated shows just because they're visually so much easier, though I usually just watch animations made for adults. I'm partially face blind, have trouble with reading emotions and on top of it acted stuff always has tons of details as visual clutter as well, which I cannot stop looking at. Drawn characters are made to be easy to differentiate visually, the emotions they show are also visually simplified, and animation just can't have as many details. It just takes so much less to watch something animated
do you also use subtitles with everything? I've got tinnitus, so i appreciate the help (plus if we ever want to talk we can and still catch the dialog).
I do! Makes it a lot easier somehow
