Frieren has been really good, my favourite this season.

[-] sederx@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Apologies if this sounds dumb I'm not an anime expert. I saw this post and checked out Ragna crimson.

Now I overall like it(after 2 episodes) but there a couple things that left me a bit confused.

1 - what's up with the head patting in the first episode and generally this kind of hyper infantilized Leo? I've never met a 12yo that acts like that, I understand this is fiction but what is the point exactly? Should I feel endeared? Because it did the opposite, creeped me the fuck out. Is there a name for this? (so maybe I can avoid it in the future)

2 - the whole discussion about getting more power, I feel it's a recurrent theme in the few anime I watched and I already thought it was cringe when goku was doing it in Dbz.. I would have expected this to be gone after more than 20 years.. Do Japanese people feel... Powerless? Like it's that a thing?

Thank you

Honestly surprised to see Dark Gathering make it up here. I've been enjoying it a lot in spite of the MC, past several episodes went to some dark places and I was all about it.

I have not watched this week ragna, but if it managed to get 1st, I'm excited to watch it tonight.

My confusion about how people find Dr Stone enjoyable continues.

Hard disagree. It’s damn funny and self aware so I would recommend it to any isekai fans.

*disgusting

It’s damn funny and self aware

That's almost all isekai today, though. Even the most hackneyed isekai authors are starting to realize the genre has been beaten to death so thoroughly that they must throws some new spin on their trite and the standard these days is "isekai but it's self-aware!" Even that has been done countless times already.

[-] Ardiente@ttrpg.network 2 points 1 year ago

I bet you can say that about 90% of the anime in this and general.

[-] Spider89@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Plus, making it self-aware doesn't add funny. It takes a bit more than that to do the trick.

[-] TesterJ@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

What? How is it disgusting? Eminence is fantastic.

[-] Spider89@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

This is a biased response as I only bothered the first half of the episode and skipped to the ending of ep20 to drop.

I am a person who doesn't watch anime as I don't have the time nor dedication to. I admit that I have managed to watch harem anime both knowingly and unknowingly, so my anime taste is poor. (Although, I watch them to pass the time, not analyize in any way)

However, from the first half episode, I thought it might be a intresting concept but then turn into 8th grade delusions about being the top.

Forwarded to ep 20/S1, 2 girls seem to be fighting him, and he doesn't break a sweat!

I know most harems are filled with OP Protaginists (Ayato from The Asterisk War [Don't watch] ), but they atleast struggle some way in the first half. This sequence felt boring and plain and I couldn't stand watching this.

Then? He puts a bubble and dissapears.

Throughout this, I never even smiled at any of the scenes, I just was confused (Why change your concept? How did he get strong? Limitations?). I had heard this anime was funny, but was dissapointed. I'd rather watch Princess Connect, a (non-harem) anime that made me belly laugh, or Overlord, a series I never watched, but had heard its similarity in a MAL review after thinking how this was up here.

If you enjoyied this, I won't rain on your parade, but I will never recommend this anime to anyone even with my low standards.

Take care, TesterJ.

Wait, so you watched the first half of episode one, then the very end of the final episode of season 1 and you're judging the show based off that? Wow. Firstly, that's a terrible way to watch shows. You have no idea what it's even about and you're calling it disgusting and wondering why people like it.

The entire concept of the show is that the main character is completely unhinged and totally believes in his 8th grade delusions, then dies and gets sent to another world where all of his delusions keep actually happening, but now he thinks his "friends" are just really cool and playing along with him. He's massively overpowered and that's explained in all of the content that you didn't watch.

The main character has absolutely zero interest in romance. He may have a bunch of girls vying for him, but I don't consider this a harem anime. All he cares about is living out all his OP character fantasies.

The first episode is played 100% straight, and the last episode is a big final fight wrapping up this entire plot that he's gotten himself tangled in. But he's literally just toying with the two women he's fighting, they aren't anywhere near his level. Anyone who actually watched the show understands that. You picked two of the most serious moments of the show to watch and are wondering why it's not funny.

I'm not saying you have to like it, but not watching a show but then calling it out for being "discusting" is a weird thing to do.

"Wait, so you watched the first half of episode one, then the very end of the final episode of season 1 and you're judging the show based off that? Wow. Firstly, that's a terrible way to watch shows.

I can't remember if I even fully watch an episode as I only remember the following 2 pars (Beginning E1 / Ending E20 ).

"The entire concept of the show is that the main character is completely unhinged and totally believes in his 8th grade delusions, then dies and gets sent to another world where all of his delusions keep actually happening, but now he thinks his "friends" are just really cool and playing along with him. He's massively overpowered and that's explained in all of the content that you didn't watch."

I should had done a 3E-Test, but a failiure has occoured (Not into these types)

I won't watch it as I simply don't have time. I may try again in the future, but now isn't so great.

"The main character has absolutely zero interest in romance. He may have a bunch of girls vying for him, but I don't consider this a harem anime. All he cares about is living out all his OP character fantasies."

I wasn't expecting this to be one considering his personality in the first episode. I really didn't know what to expect, just heard it's good.

During writing: Wait a minute... Isn't multiple girls falling for a boy harem, even if he's unintrested?

"The first episode is played 100% straight, and the last episode is a big final fight wrapping up this entire plot that he's gotten himself tangled in. But he's literally just toying with the two women he's fighting, they aren't anywhere near his level. Anyone who actually watched the show understands that. You picked two of the most serious moments of the show to watch and are wondering why it's not funny."

Failiure on my part.

"I'm not saying you have to like it, but not watching a show but then calling it out for being "discusting" is a weird thing to do."

I agree with this statement.

The intent with this was to finish this as soon as possible, however, It makes no sense to judge any kind of series with the "ends" of a season. This was on me and I will back down on the statement until I rewatch in a 3E-Test.


Before you ask why I even poorly watched this, I will say that it was initialy unintresting and was skipped.

I will say this anime reminds me of a book that has a similar story type that my sister read and severly disliked. I can't remember the name, but I do know it had to deal with 2 friends in a weird school (Disney made a live action). One wanted to leave while the other wanted to stay and be evil.

Dude skip the whole anime and is still discussing, let me help you mate, this is one punch man but isekai, if you don't like isekai or one punch man, that is fine it's not catering to you.

[-] Diamondius@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

While I can understand that the anime some times is too much, as stated it is more of a self aware parody than a "serious" anime.

I can say I enjoyed the second season more, since it had established the premise and had better pacing.
