/a/ - Animu & Mango

That was a botched translation, you goof. We've been over this.

>>763283

Please spoon feed me.

>>763296

Not a nip speaker, but the explanation I heard was that the word she used could mean "cool" as well as "handsome".

Then again, in the same thread I saw someone else claiming that in the way she used it, it would almost always mean handsome.

>>763314

Your undying loathing for them is by no means irrational. That's the sane response for when they pushed Hifume to the sidelines to make room for them. I completely understand anon

>>763271

Some things aren't worth continuing an anime after. It's like watching half vampire succubus after the first H-scene.

I can't even describe what made me quit Centaur no Nayami, but I'm glad it's not a part of my life anymore.

>>763327

I guess the author was try to make the opposite of the beta protagonist... with a little comedy rape. MC was also raped so it's all good?

>It annoyed me too.

>>763297

Did someone seriously drop this anime based on a throwaway line? I mean, Galko already looks like a slut. That's the whole point. She isn't like Mugi.

>>763356

Being a slut is one thing. Being a coal burner is another. Galko's whole gimmick is looking like a gal/slut but being a pure girl who just wants to be a housewife.

>>763357

>Being a coal burner is another.

Please don't start this.

>>763297

The word was "kakkoi". And yes, it is pretty much tied to male attractiveness. That said, you have to be strongly retarded, and perhaps desperate to find something to be offended by, to equate finding a nig handsome to actually fucking him.

>>763369

...you mean like one can find a gorilla or lion handsome but not want to fuck it?

No anon, I think when a girl thinks a male human albeit an archaic sub-species is handsome, she want to fuck.

>>763371

Or do you not want to fuck when you see a beautiful anime girl? The only reason not to fuck in this case would be your morality. Like you're already married to your waifu and don't want to cheat on her.

>This is a fun thread.

>>763371

My sister said I looked quite handsome in my dress blues. Do you mean to tell me that she wanted to fuck?

>>763321

And keep in mind the guy she was talking about is Samuel L Jackson from 11 years ago.

Am I to believe that triggered fags ITT dropped Tenjou Tenge because of Bob?

>>763383

Thanks anon, now I know to absolutely avoid Tenjou Tenge.

Afterall blacks have no place in anime. It's the only media that I can consume and feel completely confident that I won't see one

Getting back on topic; Wanted to watch Densetsu no Yuusha no Densetsu but dropped after the first episode. It hit every bad cliché at once

>>763315

Erased wasn't that well received, or at least not here.

In the last couple years the worst case of a total ass show getting a lot of positive attention was Re:Zero. Not only is it super generic and bland, people actually seem to think that it's the opposite of that, and I'm sure its popularity will leave a long-lasting mark on anime.

>>763271

I used to do that. Then I discovered how easy and liberating it is to simply stop watching shit and use the free time to pick something great off my backlog instead.

Following your type of advice is how I ended up watching both seasons of Bongou Stray Dogs and basically fuck you nigger.

>>763353

You should go back to reddit.

>>763396

Re:zero was good you suck.

>>763353

>that scene

Get a grip, Sakura! For fuck's sake

>>763442

>He hasn't watched the latest episode.

>>763495

Holy shit, that is disgusting.

>>763384

>Thanks anon, now I know to absolutely avoid Tenjou Tenge.

I distinctly remember seeing it for the first time and wondering with disgust why it had a rap intro. The first episode was so unappealing that I just dropped it for being so boring and I would watch anything back then if I thought the art looked okay.

>>763495

What the fuck.

>>763381

Yes. You missed your chance.

>>763394

Erased was more loved by normalfags than Re;Zero even. In the Crunchyroll Popularity awards, they nomiated the show as having the "Best Villain" of the year. I've seen it on plenty of anime recommendation lists, and Mother's Basement made a 20 minute video about how if you hated the show you were just "too stupid to get it."

>>763383

I wish I had dropped that show. Instead I was treated to Flashback: The Anime.

>>763582

> wondering with disgust why it had a rap intro.

Because it was the 90s anon, and it was trying to be hip.

>>763590

>I actually like BokuMachi

How do you like a show that did almost everything wrong possible except look nice?

>>763593

It wasn't anything spectacular but I thought it was an enjoyable ride with some good character moments and nice art like you mentioned. Actually I don't understand where all the dislike comes from. I could see people just thinking it's bad but not why they'd actively hate on it.

Usually I only quit an anime because I get bored from it, or if it is genuinely, unabashedly awful that there is absolutely nothing to salvage it. Although the only show that ever led me to that point was Chocotto Sister (I think that was the name). Most of the time, when I watch something, I'll eventually see it through to the end even if I don't like it. I guess it's because watching something bad doesn't bother me too much. I don't have any regrets, especially when there are a few small points that are genuinely good. But for the most part, I enjoy it anyway simply because I'd rather not waste my ire on some thing that will not impact me the next day. I don't regret it. I even think it's fun to watch something bad with a lot of potential and find what the creators did wrong. You learn about what NOT to do with a story. But even then, something needs to pull me in for me to keep watching it, even if it's bad. If it's straight up boring, I'll eventually drop it.

>>763590

>Things I like keep getting ruined by normalfags parading them around and I'm left feeling ashamed of admitting that I enjoyed them.

>ashamed of liking something normalfags like.

Why would you let normalfags, who you absolutely do not need to be in contact with or even give much importance to what they say or think, affect what you enjoy to the point of shame? It's the same as people who hate a particular series because "the fandom" sucks. The fans aren't gonna knock on your door demanding you to engage in conversation with them. You don't need to listen to what others think or say. It's important to enjoy some thing by its own merits. In other words, don't let what others think affect how you perceive things.

Katanas.

>>763617

>Anon got his eyes gouged out with a Katana and can't watch anime anymore

That's pretty sad. I feel sorry for you.

>>763611

I don't need to be in contact with them, they're in contact with everyone else. It's why that one autist shrieks about reddit whenever someone mention Konosuba. If something becomes popular among a group of people it's hard not to draw the conclusion that if someone likes that thing then they're likely to be part of that group. Hell, I'm guilty of it myself.

>>763620

Seems to me that you're too worried about getting grouped with the rest of them, but really, I'm not gonna bother you with questionable armchair psychology because, I'm just some guy on the internet. Same goes for the anon screaming reddit at the mention of Konosuba. He's just another person on some part of the world, and he doesn't need to have as much influence on you. Honestly, I think people have been throwing the normalfag label a bit too much recently, and it might reach the point where we will no longer be able to have decent discussions because "you watch a normalfag show. Your argument is invalid." But like I said, I'm not gonna bother you with and this might not even be the most appropriate thread.

>>763622

This anon makes an important point. I'm not sure if this is something to be treated as a slippery slope, but a qualityI really love about this board is that in the great expanse of the internet, it is an island. We don't have threads about "look what reddit/neogaf/[insert pleb forum} thinks about such and such". Opinions here are mainly organic, not because of a deliberately contrarian culture, but because everyone watches the anime they themselves are interested in. I only care about what other /a/nons think. I don't need or want to compare our opinions with those of outsiders because normalfags are repulsive, and it's my sekrit klub goddammit. It's not a big problem right now, but it'd be nice if it didn't become one.

>>763383

I almost dropped it because it got confusing as hell, but it ended before I made that choice, so I just finished it. Bob is actually a cool character and a responsible husband at the end. He was honestly one of my favorite characters. Also, Emi Isuzu is a weird form of trap in that she isn't hiding dick. She's hiding fat, and to be honest, I'd probably still hit it as long as she stays in concealed form.

>>763679

MUGI IS PURE

>>763756

>can't afford something as simple as gyoza

You have more pressing issues than shit taste.

I dropped kemono friends, thinking it's not bad enough, I was wrong.

>>763756

>Dropped on like episode 4, it's hard to watch shows about delicious food which I can't afford since I'm a poorfag.

That's not why I dropped it. I dropped it because it really was just about food and not the characters using it to further anything. Kotori is obviously going to end up with MC, but nothing ever happens and most of the episodes are taken up by cooking.

>>763314

Bitch has two right feet.

>>763835

But some anons are nigs, and all are 3D. You can never escape from yourself. Not to mention that there is such thing as 2DPD.

>>763315

>there is such thing as 2DPD

Watch some shoujo/josei and you'll be revising that statement soon enough

>>763850

Wow, where did that post number come from

Was meant for >>763845

>>763850

The fuck are you talking about? 2DPD is definitely a thing.

I almost kept watching this just for the OP, but eight episodes of Shiris being an absolute cunt and Deed getting shoved in to the background was enough to stop me.

I got bored one day and started watching Inazuma Eleven because I was big into soccer as a kid and literally every character is a cute genki shota.

But as soon as they won some championship and got invaded by literal SOCCER PLAYING ALIENS, I noped right the fuck out. Was just too much of an ass-pull for me to stand.

Oreimo, when Kirino's first attempt at getting her fanfiction manga published is met with unexpected popularity and it actually gets picked up for an anime adaptation.

Then she is absolutely destroyed when the suits around her try to change things and suggest changing the lead character's gender.

The absolute entitlement and spoiled bitch syndrome made me nope right out my video player. I could not even begin to feel sympathy for her situation.

Oh no, my manga idea I shat out over a few months is super popular but the anime adaptation isn't going to be completely faithful! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!

It wasn't enough she was already a fucking model who was loaded from photo shoots and had no hardship in her life besides enjoying fucking dating sims (which most people do while not being stinking rich). One bad thing happened in her life and the world came crashing down and everyone was devastated and it was just so melodramatic I wanted to barf.

Maybe it wasn't so bad after that moment, but I'll never know. I just couldn't get into something that feels like it was written by a sheltered pre-teen girl.

>>764029

Most of the stuff I watch tends to have a lot of metaphysical themes running though it. Western media disavowed this kind of stuff sometime back when I was a kid so I don't really have a lot of options. Also, I've never actually dropped a series. But that's probably because I vet stuff pretty thoroughly before I pick it up.

>>764099

It doesn't get better anon, I'll tell you right away. I had the same reaction as you, but I kept watching the first season simply I was too far into it, and dropping would've left a bad taste in my mouth. But it really baffles me how NO ONE who worked on this show thought "maybe this arc is going to make the female lead even more unlikable". Did they seriously think a whiny, overly spoiled brat is endearing to the audience?

>trapshit

Guilty Gear because I hated everyone in it and wanted all of them to lose and suffer. Nothing worse than a story where every character is trash.

> I'm so not all look at how normal I am

So Normal!

> Isn't that just so goddamn relatable?!

>>764224

Guilty Gear got an anime?

>>764099

Out of all aspects of that to get mad at you chose a pretty stupid one. Changing the fucking gender of your protagonist of all things is a massive blow, I don't even think anyone's ever done that for an adaptation. This was an anime-original segment anyway, in the LN it was more toned down, with someone coming in and writing a knockoff sequel while pretending to be her.

>>763316

Why are there so many modern mecha shows that zig-zag through Real and Super Robot?

>>764290

I disagree, I feel that the way she and the other characters handled that situation was completely ridiculous for an amateur getting her first published work picked up for an animated series. Realize that this wasn't some magnum opus, it was just hobby fan fiction she put out expecting to get shot down in the first place which garnered pretty large popularity.

Furthermore, I hear about prototype Manga/Anime/VNs/LNs that changed the MC's gender for the final print for market appeal all the time. Maybe not from a straight adaptation, but I don't feel that it is hugely different considering what they were working with.

>>763604

>wins like it's fucking rocky

You didn't actually watch Rocky, did you?

>>764396

Also, the thread asked for "stuff that made you quit an anime. The LN may well be better, but that's not the thread topic.

>>764399

Damn, I hadn't bothered to read the post because I figured it was uneducated, but he hasn't even watched Rocky. Ha, this is great.

On that note, I could never watch Hajime no Ippo. I don't know why. I watched one season of it, then never touched it again. I guess it's because it's only watchable if you watch it week to week.

>>764405

>>764099

The anime was already over at that point, but nothing has ever soured an anime for me like Soushin Shoujo Matois OVA, iit made me want to puke.

>>764396

I think the issue is that, in any other anime, that plotline would have been saddening as it was the creators making a point about how the anime industry actually works. Instead, you have a character where everything in her life goes fucking perfectly bitching about the first thing to ever go kind-of-not-right.

>>764423

Haven't read the LNs but I thought anime Kirino was cute. I have a soft spot for characters like her.

>>764410

>Soushin Shoujo Matois OVA

Oh there was an OVA? And it was bad? Now I have to watch. Obviously its not a Yumachin takeover so how bad could it be?

>>764423

I'd say MUH DIK, but there is something going here, maybe it's the pink blushes that make it like Kirino is in constant estrus, or that she is so extremely needy while having a banging body, it just sets my testosterone fuelled body on fire, I mean MUH DIK.

>>764513

>having a thing for artificial blondes

It's like they want all the characters to be exactly the same, fuck this.

>>770462

Good thing I never picked it up then. That is the worst kind of cliche.

>>770467

The truly aggravating part is that the character this happened to was rather interesting - a girl raised as a boy who was discovering a sort of burgeoning girliness. But the author was just like "Yeah nah, let's take away all her masculine traits in one fell swoop instantly!"

>>763316

>>763604

Agreed.

It has a few good gags, but that's about it.

>>770723

Come on the tournament arc only started what, January or February? The manga has been running for years before that.

>>770693

Shonen Jump

>>763271

By that reasoning, I should have never quit watching Naruto Shippuden and Bleach.

>>770866

I forced myself to sit through nardo and shitpudding up until the world got ate by plants and I just said fuck it. 16(15?) years of my life utterly wasted.

>>763879

The time-skip anime and games are even worse, with new kids and some of the first generation guys now as adults training and taking care of the new ones.

Without going into detail, after the second season/game of Inazuma Eleven GO, it got so bad it actually dropped the franchise's popularity and almost killed it. Level 5 went as far as rewrite a completely new plotline from the second season/game and pretend nothing of GO ever happened.

>>771138

Which is a shame, because out of the three GO games, Chrono Stones is actually the most fun one, despite being nowhere as entertaining as the earlier trilogy. Also, they're so desperate about killing their own IP by pandering to fujoshits exclusively instead of making good games that they retconned every game after the first one and basically remade GO 1 but set around the time of Inazuma Eleven 2.

>>763879

>But as soon as they won some championship and got invaded by literal SOCCER PLAYING ALIENS, I noped right the fuck out. Was just too much of an ass-pull for me to stand.

Boy you're in for a treat.

The aliens aren't really aliens but just some kids powered by a meteorite in order to get the government to do a super soldier program, but used soccer as a thinly veiled excuse since the PM loved that. At one point they beat them and then rejects/leftovers from the Raimon team get in the program due to being neglected. Then the latter half of >>770944 happens.

Then in GO soccer is actually politics, there's STANDS (which later transform into power armor), time travel with a fucking talking teddy bear and FUSIONS (literally one of the characters fuses with Jeanne D'Arc and another with Nobunaga), Endou (the MC of the previous three games, now married to the manager) gets turned into a robot and dies or something. And then the sequel has actual, literal aliens.

Could've used more fanart of the girls in skintight uniforms though.

>>764384

Because we can't just have some fun Super Robot show anymore, now everything has to be the next Evangelion with forced drama and DARKNESS and that's gradually moving to magical girls too. Mazinger and Precure are the only ones keeping tradition.

>>771227

Level-5 has this thing where they make successful franchises and then they can't handle it and fuck it up. Happened to Layton, to IE and now we'll see it happen to Youkai Watch.

>>771227

Honestly, I don't think the fujoshi pandering is to blame for the retconning of the games after the first one. I think GO itself is to blame because from the Chrono Stone arc onwards it became way too stupid, even for the show itself and the fujoshi; so, what to do? Retcon from the most popular game/season and pretend GO never happened. They did that with Endou's grandson.

>>771237

I liked the original IE anime. The optimistic approach and The Power of Friendship premise took me back to the early Pokemon days. I just dropped it after the first season of GO since time travel and soccer with dinosaurs was too much for me.

>>771253

>The optimistic approach and The Power of Friendship premise took me back to the early Pokemon days.

That, and it managed to put a few good variations; matches are usually quick, the local team gets BTFO'd a few times and one player doesn't end up hogging all the spotlight, MC being a goalkeeper and the variety of combined techniques helping side characters get more screentime and overall things to work with unlike Captain fucking Tsubasa, which is actually getting a remake next year by David.

>>771292

I will recognize that Inazuma Eleven does something well compared to other sports anime, and is that it knows how to manage match times. Matches are quick-paced even with the backflashes, hissastsu animations and strategy exposition. For all the sillyness and watered down stuff from the games, IE isn't as bad as other sports anime out there. It's become a gag in Latin America to laugh at Captain Tsubasa's season-long matches. I didn't know about the remake.

It also has some surprisingly detailed backgrounds.

>>770944

>>771237

Now I want to go watch Inazoomer Eleven.. I love when low-effort toyetic anime go balls to the wall insane and start revising history and metaphysics just to raise the stakes in a children's game. Like when Beyblade implied that Moses used a fucking beyblade to part the red sea. That sort of thing is too funny to pass up.

On the topic of Galko's (mistranslated) line, I have heard people call my dog handsome but I'm almost positive that they don't want to fuck him.

I dropped Gargantia after realizing that it was, in fact, not a show about belly dancing or prominently featured it as a major point.

My boner for belly dancing was tickled that day, but I remain unstated.

>>763585

>and Mother's Basement made a 20 minute video about how if you hated the show you were just "too stupid to get it."

Sad times.

>>763265

I drop a series if it becomes more of a chore than entertainment to continue.

>>771606

This is why I dropped Soul Eater.

>>771377

>On the topic of Galko's (mistranslated) line

What did Galko say then? I need to know if she likes niggers or not. This is important.

>>771642

Another anon already explained.

The word she used could mean handsome or some other thing about someone but because of the context she indeed meant to say the black lead actor was handsome and not the other meaning of the word.

See >>763297 .

>>771652

Either way it doesn't even matter as thinking somebody is handsome doesn't necessarily mean that you find them attractive. I've had aunts and older women call me handsome and they sure as shit didn't find me attractive.

>>771654

Don't sell yourself short, you might be a born BBA hunter.

>People are still discussing one Galko line

Just let the slut be a slut and move on to better shows and better girls.

Its funny to read this thread. Some of you drop shows for no real reason, almost like youre trying to find a reason to stop watching.

>>763265

Love triangles.

Even if they end, I don't like them because it gives haremshit vibes.

I also dropped the girl who leapt through time because it became a romance, and I found the guy annoying.

>>771411

>Come GO (and you can see signs of this in IE3) and every team has plenty of pretty boys and cute girls in it, with the designated fatso and designated midget

Reminder that fucking Kirino Ranmaru, a secondary at best character in GO, polled incredibly high on a Smash character poll in Japan, surpassing by far GO's main character whose name escapes me now.

>How many times are they going to retell Captain Tsubasa?

As many as needed. At least RT2002 put out new content even if they had to pull a WcDonalds for literally fucking everything in there, and if they get there they will again.

What pisses me off the most about Captain Tsubasa is that the art is fucking atrocious at times.

>>763265

When they kill a good chunk of people for stupid reasons or not reason at all.

>>763360

I feel you brother, i also hate IBO from the bottom of my heart for those reasons.

>>763829

I actually deal with that by only watching the show when i was eating, also applied that one to Koufuku Graffiti, but yeah i get where you are coming from, feels like torture if you watch that kind of show while hungry.

>>771633

Soul Eater was pretty fucking dull until episode 18 when the actual plot starts going. It suffers from abysmal pacing issues where it insists on only introducing a couple of characters each episode. Never read the manga, so couldn't tell you how much of that is filler.

>what made you quit an anime

90 seconds of music video, 20 minutes of fucking nothing, then 90 more seconds of music video, and a preview of what's going to not-happen next week. Nothing good has come out lately, and it's been making me feel fucking miserable. It's gotta be my fault, but nothing has come out in like 2 years that's been worth staying relevant. Nothing that'll be a benchmark in anime, or something that'll pop up in "must watch for 2010s" charts. There's going to be a several year gap in extraordinary anime because all that sells is waifu-factory SoL or isekais. Manga isn't doing much better thanks to lack of translators and increased licensing (which half the time don't come out at a reasonable pace). We're in a time where you better be using your Anki daily or you'll be shit outta luck soon.

>>771788

>"waah there's been nothing worthwhile coming out lately"

>in a season with one anime that will absolutely be a benchmark and one that will definitely be on recommendations forever

>"b-but 3D and SoL and waifubait"

Yes, it is your fault.

>>771734

I actually got through that, I dropped it after the first major story where the androgenous boy's mother revived something. It got boring after that.

>>763265

Quit mirai nikki by the first episode. Yuno is so fucking hamfisted in as the protag's perfect waifu it hurts to watch or even think about it.

>>771409

I thought they were all paid shills.

Anyways, I quit shows with spineless and cowardly MCs. Best recent example would be Charlotte where the MC and everyone he cares about will die/get abducted and experimented on if he doesn't fight and he just cries and cries instead of fighting for his life.

Of course, this also applies to pretty much any genre. Romance anime is terrible with this, too.

>>774237

>hamfisted in as the protag's perfect waifu

You should really pick the show back up, then, because the exact opposite happens in an exceptionally fucked up way

>>763604

b)

>Starting a show without intending to see it through

You probably watch stuff just because someone said it was good. Gotta learn your own tastes. That and flip through a couple episodes beforehand if you're not sure, if it's gonna be boring it usually shows.

>>763265

Wasn't that just something the subfags added?

>>784270

Going out on a limb here... Magical girls?

OT, romance done poorly, which is most romance in anime that I've seen. It's either painfully masturbatory harem waifu shit, or so filled with unlikeable characters that I want to burn the whole thing to the ground (i.e. the men are whiny useless bitches with zero self-determination or willpower, and the women are either ridiculously obtuse in their desires, or so pointlessly, mindlessly aggressive and violent that an actual fucking chimpanzee would make for a more pleasant romantic partner).

>>771734

The ending was really something. Made me wonder if I was spending my life correctly.

>>784316

Yes. It was a mis/poor translation by CR and of course everyone has to go apeshit and respond to shitty trolls who just post that cap so people will get mad. Cool != handsome.

School Babysitters and Kokkoku. SB seemed like a cute, harmless show about daycare and wacky hijinks, but suddenly introduced a pedophile character played for laughs, and that threw me off so badly that I dropped it before the episode was over.

Kokkoku has a lot of potential story-wise, but after that sexual assault threat at the end of the second episode I've sort of procrastinated continuing. I'm debating whether to give it another shot, or wait until it’s over to see if the show is worth continuing.

>>784750

>School Babysitters

That one was a surprise and makes no sense in the context of the show. I figured people would drop the show over it. I have no idea how that character idea actually made it through editing and such.

>>784743

Girls typically use kakkoi to refer to cool as well as handsome men so it could've been either. What people need to do is stop getting butthurt over the mere possibility that some anime girl might think that an off-screen fictional nogger is hot.

>>784817

>some emotionally manipulative Li'l Brudder sob story bullshit

I think about half of all anime out there pull something like that at one point, probably about 15-20% in the same context even. The only difference is how much they focus on it. It's a really overused and really gay cliche.

>>776895

That's a "best girl" chart some store did.

>>763315

I just finished Erased recently and wanted to get the thoughts of anons. Why do you hate it so much?

>>784967

Pretty sure the third one is meant to be a schizoid, so him not giving a shit + being emotionless would be perfectly normal.

>>784967

I'd call Tanaka more of a plot device than a main character, honestly. He only existed to bring the other characters together.

Myaano is cute! CUTE!

>>784817

>We're going to have our students compete in a fucking bloodsport for ranking! Sometimes they die, but who gives a shit!

Was that your first battle academy anime?

>>785027

Apparently? I thought stuff like BHA and Anti-Magic Academy counted, but I guess they belong to different genres. Now that I think about it, I've dropped a couple of fight-heavy high school shows with fantasy elements, though I can't remember most of their names. They all seem to fall into the same rakes, in my eyes. Way overblown violence, melodrama, and basically the entire universe aligning to shit on the MC, who is coincidentally the most awesome dude ever who wins despite blatant cheating, skill difference, talent gaps, and sometimes literally not knowing the rules. Putting it in a military context just makes it worse. The author clearly has no idea how a military unit trains or functions, and just goes with what he thinks is cool, even when logically it should create massive issues in the story (what parent is willingly sending off their kid to join the fucking Battle Royale High School? Why does no one ever seem to know about all the horrible violence before they join? How are the graduates not all axe-crazy murder-hobos with PTSD like a goddamn 'Nam vet?)

>>784819

Yeah, it's a lazy and insulting way of trying to get the audience to care - it's either squeezing sympathy from frankly insane amounts of abuse (this is why I couldn't watch Hayate), or making the character so OP and "cool" that the universe just falls down at their feet. I wouldn't mind it so much in either case if I knew it was going to pay off somehow; I like morality plays, but most Japanese authors seem to hate them. We have a raft of shonen shows where complete monsters lose a fistfight and end up as the MCs boon companions (I hear Fairy Tale was especially bad about that). For all that I love A Silent Voice, the fact that none of the other characters who abused Nishimiya ever face any sort of comeuppance, or even realize that what they did was wrong, just burns at me.

And their focus on tragedy is sometimes just hilariously narrow and short-lived. I remember at the end of Anti-Magic Academy, after the MC's sister gets locked up again (she has to be perma-banned and magic-locked, or she goes full Tetsuo), he starts whining about not being able to see her, and all his friends come comfort him, completely ignoring his SISTER who is constantly suffering and just wants to die because she is a nightmare monster kept in a cage for her entire life. Or how everyone knows about and ignores the fact that Todoroki's dad bought his mother and repeatedly raped her to sire his children. We end up with Accelerator, after killing thousands of children, feeling sorry about it and getting hurt once, so everything's fine and dandy.

Because I'm a complete sucker, I keep picking up isekais thinking "Aha! The protagonist of this one seems like a decent dude that's going to try to use his immense power to fix all the obvious, rampant problems in the society he gets dumped into!" only to end up dropping it after a few chapters, once the hero gets his harem-slave train rolling.

Bah. Back to the topic at hand; I stopped watching Overlord, because I realized that Ain was a complete and utter asshole, and watching him fuck over the world so that he could keep masturbating to the remnants of his friends wasn't really appealing.

>>784967

Wait you didn't like the last minute "heh, nothing personal kid" from the third one?

>>785289

I thought classroom of the elite was a bit dull as I've seen the concept done better. Having each character have something wrong with them was an interesting idea but other than Beautiful-kun it wasn't developed at all. In regards to the main character I was indifferent to I didn't really care what happened to him either way.

>Teacher catches me alone in a room with a girl.

>He threatens to kick me out of school.

>Oh no shikata nai, better let him ntr me.

I had a premonition Kiss X Sis was going to turn into shit anyway, but I thought it would be a slow process, not a sudden drop.

>>785719

>shit MC picks shit waifu

Seemed appropriate to me.

>>763756

>dropped lain

You might as well drop your own life too. You clearly will never complete anything worthwhile, so just save yourself the time and get out early.

>>784857

-The show is setup as a mystery from the beginning, yet the murderer is obvious

-The main character spends absolutely no time or effort finding out who the murderer is, only preventing one girl from dying

-The main character is 29 years old, and yet acts literally like a child the entire time. He even gets embarrassed when classmates tease him for liking a girl. Would you get embarassed if an 8-year-old kid teased you for liking some random girl you didn't know?

-He apparently actual does like her, making him a fucking pedophile

-The reveal of who the killer is is treated like a shocking relevation, which treats the audience as a bunch of braindead retards

-The murderer straight up fucking admits he's the murderer, the main character doesn't figure out a single fucking thing

-The murderer fails to murder main character, and to maintain some aura of having a happy ending, he suddenly decides he's not going to kill for the next 20 years until he comes out of his coma

-Despite spending 9 of the 12 episodes doing stuff alone and not talking to his friends whatsoever, instead focusing entirely on his developing pedophilic relationship with this girl, the ending of the anime suddenly decides it's entirely about the "power of friendship," because he couldn't solve it alone even though he had not once voice some sort of worry about needing assistance

There might be more but that's most of it.

>>785752

Not everyone likes JKs.

>>785732

>Would you get embarassed if an 8-year-old kid teased you for liking some random girl you didn't know?

That's a bit of stretch. Wasn't it his classmate?

>yet the murderer is obvious

I actually thought the guy was intended to be a red herring, mainly because they were shoving all this obvious crap in your face and this contradictory crap, e.g., why the hell did even call child protection services rather than lying to the MC about it being delayed.

>The murderer fails to murder main character, and to maintain some aura of having a happy ending, he suddenly decides he's not going to kill for the next 20 years until he comes out of his coma

Yeah, that was the stupidest part of the show. The complete 180 on the villain was retarded. The best thing from the show is the OP and END.

>>785822

Why the fuck are so many people refering to this show as erased? Are you guys from reddit or some shit? Anyway overall it was a poorly executed who dunnit, ruined by the fact the payoff was poorly done.

>>785842

Because it's easier than writing out Boku dake ga Inai Machi

To be fair, all of those are dogshit except for the Mahabharata.

>Every one of these shows are masterpieces and examples of the highest art in anime.

>>785991

That is a problem. Maybe we could do the same with the manga and LNs.

>>785859

Kill yourself.

>>785992

How about one with only anime originals instead?

>>785976

Clannad really that good? I admit I didn't give it a chance.

Air, Clannad and Kanon are like fight against a final boss. Every moment if painful, but you will feel a bittersweet nostalgic taste in your mouth after the end.

>>787304

Sometimes it's a real shame you can't get just the voices (to be added to the manga) and discard the rest of the anime.

>>763381

She said it out of pity.

>>763357

Galko is nowhere near pure, watch the fucking anime or read the manga. The only way Galko can be loosely defined as pure is if you follow an american's idea of pure.

>>785853

Wrong phile, cockmunch. It’s ephebophile.

Everything that has trapshit or some other gay shit like that.

In the original? Ok.

The spin-off? Shite.

>>793871

But she wasn't out of place in the "spin-off", as that one actually revolves around lolis.

>>764099

Of all the stuff you could get mad at.

Never watch Shirobaku, you'll have an aneurysm on the second cour.

>>793842

Don't nips treat blacks like oddities and amusement park attractions? One saying a black actor is handsome is like saying that horse is a handsome animal.

>>784817

I actually read the manga through chapter 140 something. It starts getting ridiculous with power scaling. It doesn't seem like he can really go anywhere after that arc, but who knows. Really wish the writer would end Freezing already and get back to Legend of Maian.

>>785663

What so special about Lain? I missed it during its hype. Why should I watch it?

I liked Galko, but I just can't stand niggers.

>>784270

>What was Little Witch Academia spoofing?

Hari Pattaru!

What's it called when you reach that moment in Powerlevel Battle Shounen X where you realize nothing is going to happen with current explosive clash because it's only halfway through the season so there's going to be asspulls galore at the last minute letting both people get away and why did I waste so much time watching this crap again?

>>774237

I read pretty far into Mirai Nikki before I gave it up. Yuno gets far worse and all the qualities you dislike about her become compounded with awful revelations and retarded bullshit that can't be justified, like Yuno taking down tons of armed attackers with a knife like she's some kind of super ninja secret agent, when literally she's just an insane bitch with an obsession.

>>763845

That doesn't mean it's okay to be a nig. We merely acknowledge that they more than anyone else feel the urge to escape from their 3D prison

>>793944

Recently, there's a lot of blacks in manga. Is there a reason behind it ?

I recently dropped Hitori no Shita – The Outcast S2. Why? Because its badly written trash. i actually kinda powered through the first season in binge watch, but S2 just terrible. They still haven't really done any world building. The characters are developed like trash, and the plot is just ridiculous on its face. I just couldn't stand it after episode 6 so i dropped it.

Another anime I am about to drop is Gin no Guardian. Once i again i binge watched the first season and got a nice comfy vibe from it, so i thought that Season 2 would be good. Instead what i got from season 2 is a unwatchable mess. The world building is non-existent, the game they are in makes no sense and neither do many of the characters motivations or behavior. So i will probably drop it after this episode.

>>802585

Not for OP though. After all, in the manga there is a single page, in a single chapter, in which the MC reads a yaoi manga and finds a black character hot.

>>763604

Rocky didn't even win you fuckwit, Apollo beat him, it's even one of the first films to play the "anti-victory" twist.

You are not the only one. I usually "soft drop" all but one show, and then take forever to get around to finishing the others. I did this with the Kino no Tabi reboot among others, and I'm currently doing it with Pop Team Epic, Darling in the Franxx, and Sangatsu no Lion, and that one might even have ended for all I fucking know.
