Casey Finnigan posted:The ones that were recommended to me that I thought were just garbage were Konosuba, Overlord, Fate/Zero, Sword Art Online, and Darling in the Franxx (I think most people have soured on that show by now though, this was back when it was airing and hadn't finished). Those were the ones where I was completely unimpressed with everything about them and pretty repulsed by the way they're written. Hmmmm. I'm gonna try recommending The Boondocks and Big O to you. Maybe one of those'll be more your speed. Oh wait, Monthly Girls Nozaki-kun was alright? Try giving Nichijou a shot. Maybe you just need something really dumb and funny.

Honestly I don't find Super Eyepatch Wolf to be all that worthwhile. I can't fault his passion, and I genuinely like that he often tries to come into a subject from precisely that angle with things like "why you should watch JoJo". But aside from the errors he just doesn't manage to make a lot of his visuals or audio interesting, I tend to try out whatever new video he has out and usually end up not finishing them because they look and sound just like a lengthy forum/reddit post, but with slightly more effort put into them.

Endorph posted:the difference is fate actually has gay/bi characters just, in context. nero literally just says shes bi in fate/extra, gil has romance with both a male and female player character in fate/extra ccc, Rin is textually bi in the original VN and this is actually addressed in the narrative, Fergus outright says he's bi in FGO, so on and so forth. so saying one character is also bi in side material is pretty different from 'dumbledore is gay,' because harry potter sure didn't have multiple explicitly bi characters. Like if you don't like it just say you don't like it, don't make stuff up. I don't care if someone thinks it's lame but misinfo does actually annoy me.

Terrible Opinions posted:Apologies if the Rin stuff turns out to be more than just an excuse for a threesome in a really gross sex scene. Haven't gotten to her bit. But that also plays into me specifying gay men. The more prominent characters who are gay/bi men in source material or history aren't shown in homosexual relationships in story. Specifically by turning someone into a woman. Like why is Ekidu femmed up, why are Leonardo and Alexander's male lover turned into women? Enkidu is made out of mud. they aren't male or female but weird stance that feminine looking people can't be men i guess??? is this a bit or something. what do you even mean with that last part..are you calling Waver a girl?

John Murdoch posted:Oh hey and going back to media's obsession with legacies and bloodlines, there was that weird BB epilogue they tacked onto Justice League where it turns out Terry was genetically engineered to be Batman 2 and it was dumb as gently caress. It was actually a Justice League Unlimited epilogue but yes it is really awful and saps a lot of meaning from Bruce and Terry's relationship when you find out it's been (mostly) engineered by Cadmus.

I think they were going for “as a bonus to you, this man you love like a father is actually your father,” which is also a pretty terrible message that undermines their relationship.

It's weird but also visibly planned from the beginning - genetically, people with Terry's parents' hair couldn't have a kid with dark hair like his.

Thankfully it's easy to ignore given that it's not part of the actual series, but it's weird in how it self-negates to the point where Antifa Turkeesian posted:I think they were going for “as a bonus to you, this man you love like a father is actually your father,” which is also a pretty terrible message that undermines their relationship.

Casey Finnigan posted:I also saw Gurrenn Lagann and Death Note and I think they're not very good. So the big problem with Trigger's shows (Darling in the Franxx, Kill la Kill, and I'm including Gurren Lagann in this) is that they start off really strong and exciting, and people get super into it and after like five episodes start telling everyone how it's the best anime ever, and because they usually have a cute and/or marketable main character with lots of gifable moments people will spam that poo poo all over the internet non-stop and the hype train builds like no tomorrow. But then, without fail, the second half of the show is a complete train wreck and the ending is such a bad disappointment that every anime youtuber that started off talking about how good it was is now making "What went wrong?" style videos about it. I'd be willing to bet their new series is going to go the same way because it's a pattern by now. And at the risk of being even more of a anime nerd; the bigger issue with Trigger's series is that by and large they don't ever really try to say or do anything. Gurren Lagann, for example, was mostly just a collection of ideas, themes and references to and from other mecha series from the 80's and 90's. Even its visual style is owed largely to other series. Some of its most iconic moments are basically ripped straight out of something like Getter Robo: Armageddon, and as cool as the series is for introducing a new generation to mecha stuff, it kind of falls flat when the series its self has almost no actual identity or presence. It's just a tower of things borrowed from other things. Casey Finnigan posted:So to keep things on topic, who's an actually good anime reviewer on youtube? She doesn't usually do anime stuff, but StrucciMovies video about Mob Psycho 100 is nice. I'm actually pretty hard pressed to think of any anime exclusive or centric youtube channels outside of someone like SuperEyepatchWolf that actually manage to make series sound appealing at all, for the most part.

for the record, i kind of liked raenir's long rambling takes on anime trash, but i personally love trash and anime so that's probably why. If you are legit interested in Good Anime, my two go-tos are re: Zero and Love Comedy SNAFU/Oregairu, almost solely because unlike the vast majority of anime, these two works actually respect your time and care about telling a story over saving mone. re: Zero has problems with the protagonist being a terminally online netizen so if you find that personality repellent its gonna be tough to get throw the story, but subaru is a wonderfully realized character with incredible depth and his idiosyncrasies are deliberately chosen by the author/studio. Oregairu is unfortunately a high school anime, but its about high schoolers that are complete loving idiots like most high schoolers, and if you had an unhappy time in highschool you may find yourself empathizing with the characters to an outright grievous degree. coincidently both these anime are based on novels, and the authors of these works deeply cared about telling a story about fully realized characters with complex emotional lives. And again, the studios that made these animes cared about your time, and did next to no stupid recap or other time-wasting (re: Zero, in fact, spent almost the entire series skipping the opening credits, the ending credits, or both just to cram everything they wanted to accomplish in an episode) also, john boyega is apparently off contract and is on a crusade to destroy every reylo on twitter: https://twitter.com/JohnBoyega/status/1212090062147637251 A big flaming stink fucked around with this message at 02:26 on Jan 1, 2020 |

Terrible Opinions posted:No feminine looking people can be men just fine, but changing a textually male bisexual character to a feminine coded "well technically they have no gender" comes off weird. Enkidu in the story appearances they've made to date generally presents as masc, so that is still preserved. But I dunno I'm not sure what's weird about interpreting Enkidu as non-binary. A big flaming stink posted:for the record, i kind of liked raenir's long rambling takes on anime trash, but i personally love trash and anime so that's probably why. Thanks! I try my best! quote:
Honestly the thing about Subaru being terminally online I think works as a feature in that he gets horrifically killed for it over and over; Re;Zero I think does a good job at condemning the sort of entitlement people like him would have and basically beating it out of him until he becomes a better person. If you liked Re;Zero an interesting Light Novel I picked up is JK Haru based off of Mother's basement+Tenlied suggesting it (and the usual suspects being mad about it). It really does come across as something of a feminist deconstruction of isekai, it's quite good. Raenir Salazar fucked around with this message at 02:32 on Jan 1, 2020 |

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU owns a lot yeah. I love how while it is a pretty cynical take on high school drama, the main character’s arc is growing more and more empathic to the people around him. That growth is reflected in the how the audience perceives the show as well. Characters that initially seemed as one-dimensional archetypes gain more depth and most of them end up being fairly complex. It’s technically incomplete with a loose thread, but imo the main character’s story arc gets fulfilled and I’m okay with some stuff being open ended

Said character is 17. Who uses sex to find leads. Who eventually finds and hooks back up with her boyfriend who is 35. She met him when she was 13. Whhhhhyyyyyyyyyyy This would've been right up my alley if not for that whole thing.
