Anime spots are too crowded now for a good visit

My last trip to a famous anime location was packed. It made the experience feel cheap and rushed.

Look, crowds come with the territory when a spot gets famous. Remember visiting the Suga Shrine stairs after Your Name blew up? Yeah, it's a zoo now. But is that really a bad thing? It means the art connected with people. You can still go early or on weekdays to avoid the worst. It's just part of how things are when something gets big.

I mean, idk, but to me crowds totally kill the vibe. When somewhere gets famous like that, it stops being about the art and just becomes a tourist trap. Sure, you can go at weird times, but then you're just dodging people instead of connecting with the place. It feels like the real meaning gets lost when everyone's pushing for a selfie. Maybe it's just me, but that doesn't seem worth it just because something got popular.
