The thing is, he doesn't mostly; shill or not (and at times he is very shill-y), his stuff is mostly good and comes from an understandable place. I like to have it on in the background at work sometimes when I need help staying awake and music isn't cutting it. Which leads me to an interesting place: do I write this off as more shilling by a soulless company, or do I think he means it, and check back periodically to see how his... opinion develops?  Because while I don't like this show, I do like schadenfreude...

https://twitter.com/G0ffThew/status/1081809305647472640 I expect Mother's Basement might change tune about this show after it goes for a bit. I do recall him complaining about Isekai shows making excuses for slavery in the past.

You can’t blame the guy for not knowing spoilers about stuff that happens later in the novel/manga. I went into the first episode blind like he did and had basically the same reaction as him.

I originally thought the overall story was going to be about Shield Hero letting go of anger, since that IS a theme in the story. At first I didn't think it was particularly misogynistic, because every human except the blacksmith was awful to Shield Hero so I figured it was misanthropic since EVERYONE was awful. The slave thing seemed like Shield Hero was against it at first and it irked me when he kept it going, and the sudden aging up of his demihuman party member was weird as hell and made me think it was going to get gross, but Shield Hero never showed any lecherous tendencies as far as I read in the manga, and it avoided fanservice. But then Shield Hero puts a slave tattoo on his other party members (all girls), and I realized that every female character was either completely subservient to Shield Hero or was trying to manipulate or destroy him. Also he really focuses on the evil princess over the evil king when he gets his revenge, even though the king would be way more responsible for everything going on. Then I heard of stuff from the LN that hadn't happened in the manga yet and it was even worse so I stopped. So basically Shield Hero is decent at hiding a misogynistic theme behind a misanthropic theme. If you're as dumb as I am anyway.

Bakanogami posted:Shousetsuka ni Narou generates a ton of content, of which pretty much anything that updates regularly and makes the ranking gets a print version. If you walk into a bookstore and look at a LN shelf these days a significant chunk of what you see started on Narou or one of its few competitors. Gonna give some contrarian opinions about this. Enjoying a lot of the stuff you listed is heavily dependent upon the person, for whatever reason, being capable of enjoying your average isekai tropes. If they don't find the premise of someone gaining a bunch of overpowered skills in a fantasy world to be inherently interesting/enjoyable, they're probably not going to enjoy about half of these titles. I would trim the list significantly if you actually wanted to narrow it down to stuff that meets the standard of "roughly as good as decent non-WN (or LN original) content that actually feels like a proper professional product people who aren't specifically into isekai might enjoy." So in case anyone tries something from this list and bounces off of it, I'd say the most decent among series you listed are: - Re: Zero (unique setting and has a good sense for drama and crafting compelling scenes) - Konosuba (good humor) - I'm a Spider So What (I'd add a qualifier that the parts that follow the main character are kinda eh, but it at least has a coherent overarching plot that doesn't feel like the author's making it up as they go along; if it solely focused on the main protagonist, I'd rank it among the stuff I'm not listing here). - Kenkyo Kenjitsu/Bakarina (good humor, though I enjoy the "reincarnated as villainess in an otome game/manga" genre considerably more than power fantasy isekai) - Bookworm (up until a point; later it falls into some more typical problems with the genre, though it's still better than most and probably the best example of the "uses modern technology in fantasy setting" isekai sub-genre) - Can't speak to Log Horizon; I found it boring, but I also didn't react to it poorly so I don't have any actual negative opinions about it and wouldn't directly discourage anyone from checking it out Death March, Gate, and Arifureta are pretty trashy and very characteristic of a Typical Isekai Web Novel, even if they aren't outright offensive to human sensibilities like Shield Hero or other stuff with slaves. They play the power fantasy/wish fulfillment angles very straight. Stuff like Slime or Sword Dad is a bit better than those, but still leaves me with the constant unshakable feeling of "this is the uninspired work of a complete amateur who is just making stuff up as they go along."

I was so disappointed in Arifureta, start of the LN is a blacksmith getting poo poo on because it's an LN, and then instead of crafting his way into onipotence like I'd been hoping; it's just another story about a dude eating progressivly bigger and bigger monsters to gain their power.

Ytlaya posted:Gonna give some contrarian opinions about this. Yeah, I was meaning more along the lines of them being inoffensive and enjoyable if you’re the type of person who enjoys this type of stuff. If I were having to limit it to stuff to recommend to people who usually don’t enjoy isekai stuff is probably limit the list to Konosuba, Bookworm, and Spider, maybe? They’re all stuff that is good in spite of being isekai or are the best examples of it. I don’t disagree with much of what you said, but I will say that having read all of bookworm the translation hasn’t gotten anywhere near what I’d consider “the good part”. Sword Dad and Slime aren’t exactly amazing pieces of writing but they’re light, fun, and easy to read. They read like amateur works with no long term planning because that’s what Narou stuff IS, for the most part.

Man I was pumped when I first heard about an isekai series with a cool premise that didn't involve being in an MMO. Then I learned more and god, I'm never going to get my hopes up for like the next ten years.  I can't help but think that, with a different writer, the same story would make a great "normal guy becomes a horrifying villain" story.

halleys comet posted:Dark souls was based specifically on western medieval fantasy, which has many shields. The show can't decide if Naofumi is a grim antihero or a misunderstood sweetheart because he keeps switching off both sides. Like one moment he's using the slave magic to force the slave girl to stab a thing under pain of torture, the next he's buying her a nice lunch. None of his characterization makes much rational sense... unless he's just being disgustingly manipulative. The thing I hate most about this show is that it could be a good show. I think there are ways to play the story so you have the same general plot beats but without any of the hosed up statements or implications the show makes.

It's not even that offensive except for a few moments (though those moments can really impact how you view the series as a whole) Good production values and an amazing soundtrack are all it has going for it. It's not a glorious trainwreck that's fun to watch with friends or something.

I don't know about the print versions, but my boyfriend and I picked this as our cringe of the season and we dropped it after the first episode because it was so dull. The first episode was double-length but didn't show or say anything that couldn't have been fit into a standard-length episode. Also the whole thing gave off the vibes of a school shooter's manifesto and was more uncomfortable than entertaining. edit: I'm not even sure that most of the unironic fans even enjoy it, just that there's a form of wingnut welfare going on where CHUDs think that they're sticking it to "SJWs" by watching it, and Crunchyroll is pushing it so hard because they know their audience really well BattleMaster fucked around with this message at 14:14 on Jan 17, 2019 |
