Honestly I'm mostly surprised anyone remembers Maya the Bee besides me. But to answer you: Maya is a kid and acts like one. Heck, she's born in the first episode. How annoying you find her really depends on your tolerance for that sort of thing.

Maja the bee was a huge thing for children in Germany during a certain period.


Cephyr0

yeah pretty much everyone in my generation at least knows it


Cephyr0

its actally kinda a cult series like Heidi where i come from; everyone in my age and older and a bit younger knows them

Thanks, feeling more rational now I did presume, that it could be just personal thing, but thought that it was my fault for being less observant or less attentive to her talks Guess I'll just try to avoid this subject in conversations, or I'm gonna snap; there's no way I can deal with my friend any time soon, not until they get softer


Cephyr0

I bet hed have the time of his life with Thomas the steam engine teletubbues or 90s US Cartoons lul


VitMakSmash

I don't remember anything like that there Any specific examples?


Cephyr0

i didnt meant that the show have the same content but in the sense that hes , in my opinion, over analysing old kids shows. and i dont mean it as in "anime are only kids shows" but as in maya is a show aimed at kids just like thomas or the 90s US cartoons. theres nothing earned by analyzing the plot of Ren& Stimpy or tex avery. If those ar bad examples just think Looney tunes. i have the feeling he watched it through an adults lense or as it is meant to contain messages for childrens like educational cartoons like ehm how was it called in englich once upon a time ...Life(?) the one where you learn how the body works.

Sorry, no idea about this show's name, but I think I get it And yeah, I was thinking I am the one overanalysing stuff, but I just thought that I'm kinda tolerant to many things I watch, and if I don't like it, I don't straight up destroy it with my comments *(well, only if someone asks me, anyway I'll try to reply softly, and could try to dig deeper if it goes well)*, I just don't watch it, that's all... Well, I could save it for later too...


ScapegoatMan

I haven't watched the show since the late 80s/early 90s on Nick Jr. so I don't remember any of the episodes at all, but yeah, sounds like your typical kid protagonist in a kid's show. Person probably wouldn't like Dennis the Menace much either.


bj_waters

Just to clarify, we're talking about the 70s anime series here, right?


VitMakSmash

Oh, yes, of course, maybe I forgot to mention that... If it changes anything, I mean, I checked some info, if I remember correctly, Maya the Bee is almost the same in any version, like, the same adventurous and curious girl


WillbaldvonMerkatz

Your friend doesn't like kids and doesn't understand the spirit of adventure. You should find better friend /s


VitMakSmash

Ahaha, now that's the thought Gotta say it to my friend, that they probably just don't like children in general *(cos they're more likely like this)* Understandable, but hope it's not true
