| @Zarutaku I second you with this take. |
| -Hades is one of the worst written and most overrated characters in Record of Ragnarok. -While I still agree Sakura was wasted potential and written awfully, she's not the worst written woman nor Naruto character. -Skypiea is one of the best arcs in One Piece. The only flaws are the lack of relevance to the plot (you could remove the Skypiea Arc and wouldn't change the story significantly) and how unnecessarily dragged it is. But the latter is not only an age old problem with One Piece but the shonen genre as a whole. -Negating a power bc you are simply too strong or powerful to actually need it is just lazy. -Despite its flaws, Bleach is better than Naruto. -The ending for Attack on Titan was perfection, I can't envision it any other way. -If you hate on Gabi from Attack on Titan, you don't understand her. And if you hate her for killing Sasha, then you should also hate on Eren for wiping out 80% of humanity. -The old universe is better than the new universe, for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. |

| @Fukoku Skypiea does not deserve the hate, nor does Fishman Island, both are incredibly important arcs to the world of One Piece. Just curious who would you say is the worst written female character in Naruto if not Sakura? Tenten, Hinata, Kaguya? |

WaterMage said: if saving means streching out with meaningless drama then yes. Chinatsu is a far better character and supports the mc in a way Hina can only dream off. And she isn't selfish. I'll admit that Hina x Taiki clearly was never going to go anywhere and is only there to check the box of love rival drama But on the other hand Hina > Chinatsu You can argue if Chinatsu x Taiki is a better SHIP than Hina x Taiki but I will not hear blasphemy such as "Chinatsu is better than Hina" Fukoku said: -The old universe is better than the new universe, for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I agree SBR is my second favorite part of JoJo but JoJolion was kinda mid Pretty much every single female character in JoJolion except Yasuho got one arc and then either got relegated to cameos or fucked off until the final battle (or, in one case, never to return again). I haven't really read that much of JoJolands so maybe that's better but so far one part does not a better universe make (especially when it's not even the best JoJo part). Zarutaku said: Aku no Hana and Ping Pong the Animation styles look awesome. I'd go so far as to say Aku no Hana was better off being rotoscoped, I feel like we wouldn't have gotten a second season of Aku no Hana anyway, better to rule in hell than serve in heaven (although I think the rotoscoping magnified the uncanny, unnerving feeling of Aku no Hana better than trad animation ever would have). My part b hot take regarding Aku no Hana is the first half is better than the second. Tokiwa was so boring compared to Nakamura and Saeki and, like, I'm sure that's the point but that didn't make it fun to read. --- Idk how hot this is but my hot take is that I didn't like how they adapted Chainsaw Man into an anime. I kinda felt that way since it aired but watching Devilman Crybaby in particular made me realize what CSM could've been because that's basically what I wanted in a CSM anime (albeit toned down for TV). |

| The second part of Death Note is just as good as the first one. As for Mori in Bungou Stray Dogs, he isn’t a pedophile, but he is undeniably a groomer—though not in a sexual sense. He manipulates and abuses children like Dazai, Chuuya, and Yosano, but never shows actual romantic or sexual interest in them. Elise, on the other hand, is a reference to the real-life author’s work, and the anime plays with this idea in a similar way to how it jokes about the Tanizaki siblings and their dynamic. |
| 86 Part two, is vastly inferior to part one, it became generic mecha anime, with massive MC Plot armor. Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya is a much better written anime the Unlimited Blade Works. Hunter x Hunter - The Phantom Troup arc, is the least important arc in the anime. Kodomo no Jikan is one of the best written romances ever. Steins;Gate was extremely predictable WaterMage said: The only thing that is stretching things out, is the two main characters who clearly like each other, refusing to confess to each other over stupid petty issues. At least Hina had the guts to tell both of them how she felt, and if Chinatsu isn't going to fight for the boy she likes, why shouldn't Hina? From a meta perspective, we know it's doomed to fail, but realistically, it makes sense to go for it. If you and another girl both like the same person, but they refuse to make a move, then of course you go for it. if saving means streching out with meaningless drama then yes. Chinatsu is a far better character and supports the mc in a way Hina can only dream off. And she isn't selfish. |

Imo, Fishman Island isn’t the worst arc per se but not that good either, I really only cared about seeing what the Straw Hats are like post timeskip. Other than that this arc is forgettable. |

| Anime that are artsy and try stuffs, that is very thought out or just put here to be cool, aren't pretentious. Anime that don't try to experiment much with their themes and characters and then explains everything to the viewer with obvious dialogues and visuals are pretentious. |
| Anime fandom is really a disparate bunch of animation fans with various genre interests stuffed in a tiny room together and forced to interact with each other even if our interests come in sharp conflict. As much as people complain about mainstream battle shonen, that's often the only venue for people to actually share a common interest and not talk past each other regarding shows no one else in the room has seen. |

| @LostSpectre I mean that the second type is pretentious because it's putting extra drama with dialogues and visuals that are obvious to the viewer but being highlighted as if the viewer is stupid. For example Natsu e no Tunnel, Sayonara no Deguchi is pretentious because it keeps exagerating the drama of too straight-forward-scenes making your eye rolls while showing nothing unique. Most of the time when a show is being "intellectual" it's labelled as pretentious because it's believed to be looking down on the viewer (as I've seen) and I wanted to go against that idea, maybe pretentious isn't the right word for it. |

Part 1 adapts the first volume, and originally that one volume was all the series had since it was a LN that was submitted to a LN writing contest. Once it won, that's when it got a publishing deal with Kadokawa for more volumes.

| I'm sure that I could conjure up a whole heap, but just for now: 1.) The first half of Steins Gate, the mainly Mystery + Slice of Life portion, is not only not inferior to the second half but a great deal more preferable overall. The second half is fine and plays out and capitalizes on what was set up and constructed in the first place, but it is more reliant on plot contrivances. The first half could still be a very charming and thought-provoking Slice of Life even if the series ended prematurely without becoming an action-packed extravaganza, but the action and drama of the second half would be closer to any Hollywood action-drama-thriller summer blockbuster and have no weight or soul without the sense of endearment and investment fostered in the first half to begin with. Those who fail to appreciate this and present it as if only the second half is worthwhile or enjoyable just strike me as having minimal attention span. Speculative conversations and debates about physics, the mechanics of time travel, and research organizational conspiracies are at least as enthralling, usually moreso, as any street gunfight. 2.) 86 was always an incredibly shallow treatment of its subject matter. The second season/second part only induced more people to see what was already very much true in the first. The premise is a cliche one of dystopian racialist and actively racist/discriminatory society where people are segregated and oppressed based on phenotype and intrinsic characteristics. That it and other Sci-Fi reworkings of aspects of NS Germany and WWII to serve as textbook authoritarian or totalitarian villains are very cliche and prevalent is ultimately perfectly fine if you expand upon it in a compelling way. One major way to do so is characters and for me, characters in any series and how they're written are arguably the single most important part. The problem is that the characters were always quite bland archetypes and not well developed and expanded upon beyond a few basic experiences and traits. That doesn't alter or detract from the fact that it also always had stellar direction and music, particularly in those first 11 episodes (after which it's still present but seems less prominent and decisive - less Lena and more time spent with the even worse characters + jump the shark moments of unkillable human characters + royal loli mascot = weaker writing overall, meaning less time and opportunity for elements like that stately OST to really be felt and leave their mark, since they're paired with a low-tier script). I still enjoy it (the first season/part definitely, but even the second) as popcorn entertainment. The songs are just too riveting, the camera work too spot on, and Lena too pretty and infectiously principled not to. But when I hear others compare it to or place it in the same categories alongside juggernauts, like, say Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, as a heavyweight deep military science-fiction, I can't take that seriously. It's a puddle compared to the Pacific ocean. |
