The gag manga feel is the best part. Yes it has a plot, at the same time it just does stuff on the fly. It only feels now that we're getting into the plot proper now, 168 chapters in lol.
I feel that man. That's just rezero for you lol.
Hey I come from a time when Shounen meant Dragon Ball and JRPG shit, not Doraemon Shinchan lol. In fact if you go further back, FOTN and Devilman is proto Shounen and both would be considered Seinen now lmao. Devilmans okay, that shit has rape but idk why FOTN is considered adult when all it has is violence and gibs.
It's great, ain't it?
I think people exagerate it. Every time a new character comes in everybody shits themselves screaming "harem!" When neither Momo nor Okarun show particular interest. Hell, it works as an engine to get the other one jealous and forces an advancement from that.
Well, her friends do consider her a weirdo for liking him. Granny could have just dropped her to watch Takakura films to shut her up while working and Momo just liked it. If you watch a lot of old cinema with your kid odds are they might like a Gary Grant type more than a faggy twink that is all the rage now.
One could argue we just finished the prologue.
My favorite backstop, on that point was the punk kid with the umbrella powers and the police man dad that adopted him. The story just kinda stopped the funny and went "I'm going to break your heart for the next few chapters." And it flowed brilliantly into the arc happening at the time! It's insane how many balls the story juggles yet doesn't drop any of them.
Christ, should just call it TextXText or write a novel... i tapped out of HxH two hiatus ago when it became a word salad that would be impossible to remember till the next batch of issues came. I'll keep ignoring it till it's finished and then reread the dark continent part again.
Undead Unluck is a series that managed to improve tenfold with it's timeskip when most series keel over and die when they do it. I like it very much but my understanding is it's selling like shit and the anime didn't give that big of a bump. I just hope it's allowed 16 more chapters to finish things up properly.
Well what a fucking letdown. I was dubious on it but had to admit the trailer looked great, but hearing this really deflates it.
I looked at 4chan to see what people were saying. Its so fucking tiresome. They're mad because its the "current thing". And its clear none of them read the manga. They're making assumptions on a story that is based on not having assumptions on anything, because its always changing. One honestly disgusting thing I noticed just browsing was them calling Momo a whore, simply because she had a BF in the first episode (that was made very clear she didn't put out for). Its like, the fuck? Also making fun of Ken/Okarakun because hes a nerd. Its like, that's kinda the point, its honestly satire because of how much action man shit he gets up to. I mean for fucks sake he turns into a demon thing!
Not really, kids' shows that are just for kids, such as Exkaiser or Raijin-oh (and to use gag anime examples, Patrol-kun and Hikarian), can be very good if the designs and action are good.
I mean, they're not wrong when this happens:
Battle shonen is oversexed poison, unless it's from the 60s or something or it's made for really, really young kids. Pass it on.
This. I decided years ago to just cut out all ShonenSLOP from my media diet in favor of Seinen and I couldn't be happier. I broke my rule due to how cool and stylistic this show looked and was immediately burned lol.
For me, any shows I watch VILL have a focus on futuristic vehicles and bases; cool vehicles can make anything good. It's sad that shonen is the face of anime because it unfairly portrays the rest of us as perverts; literally nobody would think of anime as pedo troonslop media if we just kept getting stuff like Grendizer, Yamato, GoLion, and Gatchaman like we did in the 70s and 80s.
When did that even happen anyway? There was none of that shit in the 90's and 00's, at least anything that made it to TV.
Arguably it started in the 70s with Cutey Honey, it persisted in the 80s with stuff like Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2, Dr. Slump, and Dragon Ball, and it became what it is today in the 90s and 2000s as animation houses began to rely on selling body pillows and anime figurines to make their money. I'm surprised you don't think 2000s anime has pedophilia; RahXephon was unwatchable because of it. Even Pokemon has pedo moments. Meanwhile, you can watch a good 70s show like Steel Jeeg and not have to suffer through any weird sex stuff.
