"Isekai is overdone" is not a hot take
Based and true
Isekai is overdone, but that take made me angry. Re:Zero is peak 10/10 fiction. It is the best anime and only Berserk and Tokyo Ghoul manga beat it.
@@NoahDoes-Art The first sentence was great, but then you ruined it with the second part
We are about 3 years away from the meta to shift for liking isekai to become cool and quircky again so I guess its a hot take for the future!
@@NoahDoes-Artbro had us in the first half then had us in the second half
"Shonen should write more downtime" That aligns with what I have been thinking a lot lately: Instead of writing character backstories, how about write them to be likable, so people will organically get upset when they died?
it sucks that we need 150 episodes of something like hxh to get that to happen. I dont see it happening in the modern era lowk but I really hope im wrong
To show that a character is likable, you need to show them outside of life or death battles. And the average social media poisoned teenager won't stick around for that long.
So it's easier to first show them being badass fighters and *then* show their backstory or whatever.
@@daniel-ix8wx It already exists and is called Dandadan.
@@Randomman992that anime literally does the same backstory thing
@FafliXx great point made that immediately gets crushed by boomer sounding "kids these days" nonsense. Those teens you're talking about will he the upcoming writers and artists soon, let them cook ya goober.
Love is war goes fluently from 20% drama and 80% comedy to the opposite. Thanks to that the story was good and made sense.
1:48 And here you can see Garnt -subtly- shifting into the Ad-Read Dimension where audio quality doubles, cameras become cinematic, and natural human speech becomes impossible!
He broke the 4th wall using the same shirt and with Sydney just to ad-read.
I was to distracted to him saying Nuclear as Nucooler /Nucular 2 second before that
the transition to sponsor segment and transition back is sooo smooth and brilliant. W editor
So smooth that with Sponsor Block I didn't even notice there was a jump
Joey doesn't make a Let's Fight video in ages.
Garnt: Fine, I'll do it myself.
Also Dungeon Meshi is a fantastic example of a comedy/slice of life show that turns into a Drama as it u folds.
It's still keeps it's comedy and cooking premise though
@@Ash_Wen-li it stops being about cooking and goofs for the last conflict and climax, but it goes back for the resolution of the story
Everything that Studio Trigger touches turns into gold anyway (manga was already good though)
brado tf You doin here@@invertebrado
Garnt does this thing where he’ll say “in my opinion” and then state a fact and he’ll say “objectively” and then state an opinion. It is completely wacky and backwards.
Internet brainrot innit😅 words like "literally/objectively" just isn't used correctly anymore
Always keep em guessing
Wackwards one might say
@@alphakowaclips literally.
@@OAKE178 it's totally wackbards
My hot take is that "sizzling" should mean very hot not warm like Garnt meant in this video.
That's a sizzling take right there
I think simmering would've been a better choice for the 2/5
@@Dervalanana yeah that's what he probably meant to say but English not being his best language is probably why.
His best language being gamer-otaku speak.
If you think about it, Squid Game is just one big tournament arc...
Damn, you are right
highkey that is what made it fun and popular
@@baraakatsheh1547 literally
Miku can beat Vegeta
Yes
i mean
I agree
His arms are made out of cookies
Where's the lie? 🤷♂️
Garnt's "Your Name" story reminds me of how I got to watch "Summer Wars" at a convention venue for the first time. Loads of people in the cinema and I actually didn't know much about the movie. It was just plain incredible to me and made it an unforgettable experience for me. So yeah, watch "Summer Wars", "Your Name" and of course "A Silent Voice", too!
I like Summer Wars better than Your Name, I think. Wish I had seen it in theaters!
Liz to Aoi Tori is a much better Naoko Yamada movie than Koe no Katachi
Himmel is incredibly based because he was willing to wait as long as it took and didn't get angry that Frieren didn't understand immediately
That Keijo take was cooking. It is shameless and cool at the same time, because only pure passion for butts could make animators truly sakuga for this kind of show.
just because an amine is trash, doesn't mean I am not going to re-watch the series 5 times
He's just like me fr 😭
me when rent a girlfriend :
If you like it, you like it.
Unfortunately I'm guilty of this treacherous act.
Fr😂@FalconR200
17:24 I 100% agree. There's this one scene in Chainsaw Man of Aki waking up and making himself a cup of coffee. In a world full of devils, this was such a relaxing to watch. Basically a calm before the storm.
Also, people seem to dislike the festival arc in my hero academia but I think it was just as amazing as the other seasons. The whole point was to make Eri Smile because of the traumatic life she endured by Overhaul. All Might is loved because he makes people smile when they're in endanger so this is fitting for the themes of the show.
Rent-a-Girlfriend is one of greatest phycological torture manga of our time, I truly think the author wants to see how far they can push the fanbase... Saying that I read every new chapter to have a look if Chizuru will allow Kazuya make the beast with two backs with her.
Considering the author’s currently running incest harem, I think the guy is just incapable of writing anything that isn’t insufferable and is accidentally creating a new form of torture. He’s also perfected in creating the most punch able MCs of all time. Resisting the urge to punch the manga every time the MCs make a stupid face should become a part of a monk’s training to reach enlightenment.
A peak psychological horror manga
I made it like 10 episodes i to season 1 and I was already a broken man. My mental anguish at an all time high. I could not continue
Keep making excuses
A 10/10 masterpiece
I have two hot takes for anime rn:
1. The best media MHA has ever put out is MHA: Illegals, until that point the author didn't understood what makes a good hero, then with Illegals he could experiment with more mature ground-to-earth MC, a simpler history and powers but using it in more creative ways, the ending but must importantly the lenght is perfect. You care about this MC and you look him thrive and fail multiple times, becoming a Spiderman/ Avengers type of situation. Spiderman more interesting beacause the stakes are not that high and he can growth better.
2. Everyone can enjoy romance anime, but instead of trying to become more cartoonish or human like relationship there must be organic. The best romance anime in my opinion are all about chemistry, a soyjack MC or a superchad donothingwrong type of MC as well can't be a romance MC. They must be feel alive, and you as a person dont think 24/7 about sex or even love. They trying to become better together is what makes a good couple, that the shit I want to see. B**bs and ahh are everywhere but if there are attached to truly good character is doesn't matter to me they are bait. But you need chemistry. See 86, even if the world is interesting, the main couple is what sells is for me. Isekai troupe could be as excuse, I just want to see that connection.
ShinLena 🔛🔝
Clannad is a perfect example on your definition of the perfect romance
@@OpurpleO yes. clannad is perfect. And after story made me into a waterbender.
Illegals was another author?
just watched your "The Biggest Regret of my 20s" video and all i got to say is thx :).
that and his "why i left the bbc video" are up there with my favorite gigguk videos
@@Jazzimus ya u were right i just watched it :)
If there is character development in an episode it's NOT filler .
Manga reader will call a moment in the manga that is a bit more down to earth and quieter filler, even tho it shows you a lot of new things of the character. It happens so often.
The shonen downtime thing, in film language, is sometimes called a "pillow shot". But because of One Piece, my friends and I call them Boat Episodes, cus it's the episodes where the crew hardly leave the boat - and they're great.
I love those episodes of one. I think we need more of that currently
Bro One Piece episodes where they were just chillin were great. Bits of Luffy 'fixing' the Merry or Brook trying to figure out what he needs to do on the ship were nice
I feel like this would be such a good way to contextualize the recap episodes they’ve been doing recently. Idk how they do it currently because I skip them, but I’d be down to watch like Robin telling the crew her backstory, because that’s something we’ve learned she’s done recently, and see their reactions to it. Same with like recounting stuff about the revolutionary army to the rest of the crew, talking about other pirate crews as if they came up in the news, etc.
@ yeah perfectly said or imagine the straw hats just talking about techniques they have just learned and I’ve always wanted to know what the straw hats opinion on what the one piece is.
@ if luffy confirmed my headcannon that the heat from gear second was specifically to counter kuzan I’d fucking scream
I enjoyed when Arale beat up vegeta because I love that they can take the piss out of such a serious character once in a while.
Chibi Vegeta is pretty funny in Daima- last ep he beat up some punks in a cyberpunk nightclub, not your typical DBZ battle arena lol. BTW will we ever get a US release/stream of Dr. Slump/Arale-Chan?
"Highschool of the Dead deserves a second season."
Unfortunately Gigg missed my take but its true. HOTD is actually good. Madhouse Animation most notable project, the LEGEND Maon Kurasaki debut album, and is the stand-alone KING of fan service memes.
Highschool of the dead is a very nice anime, I remember when it was airing but the sad thing is the creator of the series passed away a long time ago because of a health complication but the art style is still going strong in the series "Triage X" cuz the creator of triage x is the same guy that helped out with the art work of highschool of the dead.
Can't do it mate the creator is dead gone reduce to atoms
@@kamachan6170
What about gangsta ?
The creator has been sick since almost a decade now
>Madhouse most notable project
Objectively false lmao
@@SilkSonic-c9zI think the manga is still ongoing so that is a good thing to me but the author was diagnosed with eosinophilic disorder unfortunately a long time ago, hope she haves a come back because her Manga is a good read.
EXACTLY, Re-watching Naruto would be a breeze compared to One Piece. Not only because of the filler is contained within episodes in Naruto but because One Piece would slow the pace of the canon episodes down to a crawl in certain arcs.
I had to stop after dressrosa. It just never ends
except naruto also has a ton of bloat and padding within the cannon episodes
@@Jorem_K My advice if you wanna continue, just skip dressrosa and wano cause two of them are too dragging. I like whole cake island more than those two combine.
@@Jorem_KIt’s better to read manga for dressrosa
@@Jorem_K Yeah I had to take a break during Dressrosa, waiting a week for nothing to happen each episode really soured the whole anime for me.
My hot take is,
If you want to enjoy anime, don't listen to people, enjoy what you enjoy, because once your mind gets deluded by a community and such, you would not enjoy what could be enjoyable to you.
That's not even a hot take, i do the same
Fax
12 year old seinen elitists on their way to call you illiterate
@@argy7526How dare you have an opinion?
🗣🔥
I started watching School Days while unaware of it's infamous ending, and I stopped watching 2 or 3 episodes in because I thought it was boring. And this was during my "ravenously devour every anime you find" period.
Watched school days and my reaction afterwards was like meh.
"ravenously devour every anime you find" LOL its the best feeling as an anime fan
i think I did the same too with school days
can't believe I've been tricked into watching a scripted ad about afk arena twice now, what the hell man
Keijo is not only has animation wise but is actually so genuinely funny. Highly recommend
I strongly agree with the Keijo take. It knows what it wants to do and does it well.
Totally agree with the mid anime take. People have different preferences, and I might think a 9/10 is kind of boring but a 6/10 is right up my alley so I'd rather watch that. I don't really care if somethings trash if it's entertaining and makes me hype 🤷♂️🤣
I don't even know anime MAL score when I watching it. I add anime to my watchlist in like two weeks before new season starts, then watch them when they are finished airing about three months later, then go to MAL to give my number. And most of the times I'm surprised how low scored some of the anime I love with all my heart and soul. In summer 2024 season I enjoyed four different shows to the maximum amount - "Dungeon People", "A Nobody's Way Up to an Exploration Hero", "A Journey Through Another World: Raising Kids While Adventuring" and "I Parry Everything" are all in my personal opinion deserve a 10 (and I'm usually don't give out a 10 score left right and center, I'm usually grant 10 to just one anime per season, sometimes not even one. The last time I gave many anime 10 was winter 2023 and there were three, not four. So summer 2024 is my favorite anime season right now). But on MAL they have 7.10, 5.82, 6.67 and 6.92 scores. If I was a kind of person who chooses anime based on MAL score of 8 and higher, I would not have watched those four masterpieces and it would be really sad :-(
yeah like my fav anime is Evangelion (8.55/10 on MAL btw) but i can totally 100% understand if it's not your type
@@Kostyurik I agree, I definitely don't try and take too much stock into the score before I read/watch it if I enjoy the synopsis. Especially when it comes to BL/Romance, which is what I read/watch more than anything else it's highly subjective, so I think scores matter a bit less than stories with intricate plot lines lol
@swimmingbird1 totally respect the show, and I've seen it in its entirety, but it just wasn't my thing at all. If I were to watch a SciFi Mecha it'd definitely be Eureka7 or Gurren Laggan, which are objectively worse shows, but just more my type of show I'd enjoy lol
I feel the same. For example, 86 and Beastars are among my top 10 and I was surprised by all the negativity I heard about them. But I still love them both.
Absolutely hilarious that when the topic of “Mid Anime” comes up, Tokyo Ghoul is displayed.
It had such potential though 😔
It not Mid though, it's just Ass
one of my major pet peeves is people calling everything a plot hole. you didn’t understand the plot? plot hole. character acted irrationally like an actual human being? plot hole
Same goes with plot-armor
"This character won a fight because of the plot" no shit, the power system clearly shows why he won this fight but because you didn't like it, it's just "bad plot armor" because you didn't understand the power system of the show.
food wars is actually good. the concept and story is good. maybe not execution towards the end, but it would still excel without fan service. i’m here for the plot.
True. You take out the fanservice and it’s still a very unique anime
Yeah. Its fun to watch. Just like Yakitate Japan
^
Yeah it just became strange when they fought some bandit group with cooking
I thought it was strange when suddenly random inmates beat everyone and that was the final arc
This is what the anime community was all about back 2007-2014 then authentic group of fan groups being Loyal to their favorites ❤😮💨im glad this person brought that topic back🥹 16:10
What are your favorite without mentioning the popular anime? Taste says you have personality is the testing question. Mentioning the popular ones basically says about you that you have no personality and yes death note is one of the popular one people like to mention…
@jspiral360 "if you like popular things, you're an npc" is a bad take. There are reasons some things are popular.
"can we gatekeep gooning" took me out 😂😂😂💀
I'll admit, that is one of the best ad breaks I've seen.
Common W from the goat Gigguk.
17:07 I completely agree with your statement, Gigguk. I find many animes like that more appealing to me and my personality. Not everyone is the same. Darling in The Franxx, Domestic Girlfriend, etc, they all resonate with me very well. Are they perfect? No. Does that mean I don't enjoy them? Absolutely not.
26:18 Gintama. Assassination Classroom. Those are two off the top of my head.
Here's a take.
Because of the way Twitter is now, where all the blue checkmarks (grifters or otherwise) are pushed to the top of the reply chain regardless of anything, the list of replies was culled before Garnt ever got back to it, which hurts the potential of the entire premise.
Fortunately, Garnt is enough of an entertainer to make up for most of it.
(As an aside, I also responded to Garnt's post, with something along the lines of "Adaptations don't have to follow their source material down to the last letter; that's the whole reason they're called 'adaptations' in the first place.")
For the last part, I agree and the anime can actually enhance the manga like with Bocchi the rock.
14:13 exactly remember watching ir for the first time and in the middle just realising what had just happened in the middle of the movie. The ending with the Radwimps music playing then brought it back. Still haven't watched any animated movie that made me feel that way.
23:54 it's same for Demon Slayer too. When someone takes a premise soo good, writes a great beginning and then falls down in storytelling long-term, it becomes a problem. And when it falls down soo badly than even an average audience can find a better way to progress the story than how it actually progresses, you get a huge bunch of disappointed audience. And a show that gives hopes and disappoints gets way more hate than a show that never gave enough hope.
missed the your name in cinemas in 2017, watched it 7 times before it finally re-screened this summer, watched it in the cinema, and it HITS SO MUCH HARDER THAN THE PC SCREEN. I love it and imma watch it all over again
I know the editor is trying to make zooms in and out cuts to make the video more alive, but you are cutting the chat out and personally i would rather see the chat. Chat is part of the content. This is my hot take XD
Chat is *only* part of the content actually during a livestream.
Just did my first rewatch of OG Naruto as an adult and I enjoyed it so much more than when I watched it as a kid and teenager.
25:53 Yeah I don't think Kaguya-sama was the best example of this. Animus like Nisekoi or School Rumble have suffered way more from this than Kaguya-sama, who knew how to stay funny even as the drama was happening and the tension was building.
Great to hear from Dee again after all these years
I watch anime when I'm getting ready for bed, so I love mid anime, which is the perfect balance between being entertaining enough for me to want to keep watching, but not hyped enough for me to lose sleep. so even 6/10 anime has merits that if all anime were 10/10 we would have
That... Is a good take.
In relevance to the last hot take, Garnt should do a top 10 best anime tournament arcs video or a top 10 worst tournament arcs video.
Utawarerumono is the most underrated anime based on game to be made
Story is complex and has many twists, characters are well written, fleshed out and entertaining, openings are 9-10/10, music is great, and story as a whole (all 3 seasons) is good from start till end
even the new one?
@uryjamesponce915 yes I recently finished the second part of new one and it was perfect, ending was great and fateful to the game itself
@ Imma try it out
@uryjamesponce915 the new ones "Mask of truth and mask of deception" are a continuation of the first one but with completely new cast, but later they link to characters and themes of the first one, I will not say more, enjoy
Ohhhh~ I've only got the finish Utawarerumono and Utawarerumono: Mask of Truth I haven't really gotten to Deception. It's been a long while~
i love finding niche obscure anime mid anime is fine and there is a ton of gems as well
"If you combine the downtime and character writing of MHA with the fight choreography and pure hype of JJK and demon slayer you would have the greatest fkin modern anime ever made"
So Hunter x Hunter?
imo the 2011 version shouldve designed gon and killua to be in their late teens
Its choreography is not in par with jjk
Maybe power complexity is similar to JJK, but not fight choreography.
@@Deode-d4hstill
If only the anime continued or the manga wasn’t in constant hiatus. 😞
My god some of these takes are just people trying to be funny. Like "GET IT GUYS? THE JOKE IS PORNNN. MY HOT TAKE IS THIS PORN IS GOOD!"
27:50 See: Doctor Who: The Lone Centurion
Your wife is so brave to be in an ad with zero makeup on. Truly a brave move
In regards to the Ludwig Naruto comment, I feel this is something that a lot of people including Garnt might forget/take for granted. This anime came out during an era where the Manga was still being written with a couple of dozens of episodes of buffer between em. I think a lot of modern Anime fans take for granted that a lot of shows start with a country mile of headway from the source material or are just new anime material where the animation and pacing can be worked better with. Props to the animators who worked on the early 2000's Naruto where this shit came out WEEKLY WITHOUT A STOP for over a Decade. Give the Naruto anime all the shit you want Ludwig, Id LOVE to see a beloved anime property now a days deal with the same bullshit, Naruto, Bleach and One Piece animators had to deal with back in the day. Thank GOD that the industry is switching to seasonal releases with their modern manga shows.
I will always give the Big 3 Anime adaptations leeway cause the circumstances under which they came out should be crimes agaisnt the Geneva Convention and the fact we STILL got insanely memorable episodes is WILD to me. Props again to the animators man.
I gotta say the ad transitions were absolutely cinematic
Comparing Mushoku Tensei to RAG is criminal
As someone that has read the LN. RAG is not even on the same playing field.
RAG is hot garbage compared to MT
Dear Animezone, you can like RAG without having to resort to outrageous mental gymnastics
he is kind of right thou. RAG and Mushoku Tensei mc are both bad people that is a fact. And people hate RAG because it didnt do the redemption part that MT is known for. if RAG mc did get better as a person would it be better than MT? no. would it be more watchable and appreciative? yes
@@dragon-kun199 even anime onlys will see that Rudeus is indeed growing up already, Kazuya on the other hand...
two sports anime came out during autumn 2016 and i vastly preferred keijo. unironically such a funny and creative show. gate of bootylon forever goated
Hot take some of chinese donghuas and manhwas are underrated in both entertainment and art and fights plus effects. You get very invested if you find the right one.
There's this donghuas called 'The outcast' and it's been amazing. There's currently 5 seasons out.
@sagemaster1357 i watch quite a few donghuas that i really like
Yeah renegade immortal fights are amazing, although standout for that donghua is ep54~ slice of life eps for me
And Lu Bu life simulator is so good art and story wise
Not just story-wise, donghua animation makes Ufotable look like an amateur.
25:20 My perfect example of an entire anime premise being only a few episodes is the anime Hyouka. It's a detective/high school anime where each arc is a mystery the students have to solve. the main premise, back story of female mc and even the name of the anime itself is explained and solved in the first 4-5 episodes of a 22 episode show. Each arc/mystery afterwards just goes down in quality and have no direct relevance to the characters, in fact I would compared them to filler arcs.
Symphogear is really underrated magical girl anime. Same goes with Princess Tutu.
Princess Tutu kinda slaps, i started watching it for shits and giggles and actually got invested
I feel like I need to rewatch Princess Tutu properly. I only watched the abridge series of it here in YT way wayyy back. But, honestly~ Even if it was an abridge version really enjoyed the show. The final act definitely caught my young mind off guard XD
@@sweetmeloday5935 Yes, you should. When I initially saw the poster of Princess tutu, I was like "dafuq is this sh*t?"
Came in with an open mind, and watched few episodes, and eventually enjoyed the show. I think I still like Madoka more, but Princess tutu is definitely up there, close to its level in my opinion.
Symphogear is 🔥🔥.
My hot take is that "Funner" isn't a word
I'm sorry but anybody saying something above a 5 is mid needs to go back to math class :| None of you know wtf mid is...I MIGHT give you 6 but you need to have a REALLY good argument because 5 is the middle of 1-10. If you wanna try saying 7 is bad you need to learn how a scale works.
"Can we gatekeep gooning now?" 😂😂😂 I'm dying
My issue with a lot of anime is that they're stupid which is why I prefer the goofy ones like Konosuba because they embrace that stupidity. I just can't stand bad scripts, inconsistencies, massive plot holes and such when a story clearly wants to be taken seriously.
I honestly have to agree with Ludwig about Naruto up to a certain point. It genuinely took me about 4 attempts to get past the first ten or so episodes of Naruto and even then, didn't feel like I truly enjoyed the show until about the Chunin exams.
Index anime (especially s3) aren't as bad as people thought they were. The major plot points was done beautifully and the only bad parts was a slightly worse quality than railgun and even then it's not shit.
im only 5 min in and still watching, but Garnt probably hasn't watched OG Naruto in a long time (because why would he). after a very recent rewatch, i also originally underestimated how many flashbacks are jammed back to back in even the canon episodes. generally speaking, there are also a ton of empty panning background shots that are weirdly long, and even the way everyone talks feels slow and oddly paced. probably the best way to sum it up is even though each episode is 20-ish min, so little actually happens in an episode.
Explain your power to the enemies isnt bad because reader sometimes is too stupid to understand their power scaling
Also, sometimes this too is character building. Some character just do have big egos so they explain their abilities to the enemy
“This isn’t a plot. This is a scenario” is so funny and painfully true.
I like how the thumbnail is just true statements
I bloody love a tournament arc, training arc, or any combination/approximation of the two. If a story gets too invested in a single fight, I get bored, but give me multiple shorter ones with different combatants and I'm hooked. Naruto's Chujin Exams and later the team trying to stop Sasuke from leaving, YuYu Hakusho's Dark Tournament arc, MHA has a tonne of them, the final third of One Piece's Alabasta arc is basically a tournament, and they're all great!
3:07 Video starts here
18:50 This is why bleach fights always are iconic
That MHA x JJK combo is HxH 🚶🏾♂️
DxD
And Chainsaw Man
Hell no HxH is mid with garbage characters and wasted story potential. Side characters were more interesting than the MC and we hardly got to see them at all. Meruem carried HxH
ngl that transition to the ad segment was good
"A modern battle shonen that focuses more on the interactions between characters to make the big moments more impactful"
So basically CSM and Dandadan
Csm takes the seinen route while dandadan has shoujo elements. Battle shonen doesn't stand on its own the older you get, but it's called shnen for a reason
One of the longest running fighting game series is just a non stop tournament arc
My hot take: JJK is objectively a bad story, with a few good ideas hidden within. Aside from the few exceptions, the story makes numerous nonsensical twists, with characters eating the idiot ball just so they can die, to things they absolutely should not have died to. It outright insults the readers/watchers, by "killing" a character, then kinda-sorta telling us that they aren't quite dead, and then not mentioning them again for over a hundred chapters, only for them to show up at the 11th hour to solve a huge problem, with literally no forewarning. Its approach to big fights is also borderline nonsensical, with new abilities and moves pulled out of the author's ass with no preamble, of which the fight with Sukuna towards the end of the manga is the biggest perpetrator. Flashback to show plan. The plan fails. Flashback to show new plan. The plan fails. Flashback to show a third plan. The plan fails. Rinse and fucking repeat 10 times.
The animation is really the only good thing about it, and most everything else is just bad...
Demon slayer plot is better than jjk.....but jjk gets more flare due to the character design and not character writing.....
I think this is really just a final arc issue I haven’t read the manga but for the 2 seasons of the anime i don’t really notice these problems. For the final arc I’ve seen spoilers and can say that I’ve seen these issues with what I’ve seen of the final arc. Idk if these problems are in the manga before that point.
1. What characters died by doing something stupid? The deaths make as much sense as any other shonen imo.
2. Saying that it's insulting to leave a character's status unknown is a reach, that's also the least offensive scenario. Do you want the series to tell you that they are dead and then bring them back with no explanation?
3. What new abilities and moves were pulled out of the author's ass other than in the final fight? I can't name any times this happens other than the final fight with Sukuna, and it only really starts after Sukuna kills Gojo. JJK fights are really good at introducing skills and then using them in different ways. In Gojo vs Sukuna we see Domain amplification, RCT, simple domain, falling blossom emotion, mahoraga and black flash, all techniques that were shown earlier in the story.
4. Just the animation? Not the choreography, abilities or music? You don't think those aspects are good when it comes to the fights?
5. Also basically everything you're complaining about happens in the final fight. Your hot take pertains to the exception, not the overall story. I will say that the story is really basic but the fights are great
Agree, the fights and animation carried this anime. Other than that, story went downhill quick after shibuya arc.
And another hot take. Demon slayer is much better than jjk. Having a linear story and crazy animations. The better turn off your brain anime.
Who tf need good story and writting
We JJK fan got Aura and Chills for days 🥶🥶🥶
Agree. Kaguya is AA++ 👌 I watched it randomly one day knowing nothing about it except the short little synopsis given on Crunchyroll and couldn’t STOP. It’s hilarious, exciting, cute/romantic but doesn’t take itself too seriously, and the characters are actually relatable. Loved it. I might go watch it again it’s been a while.
17:48 That's just chainsaw man.

Working! and Pet Sakurasou can be argued as examples of this, though the former is primarily a comedy with minor dramatic payoffs and the latter is pretty good at the drama part.
Angel Beats maybe? Or Clannad? Though it is pretty clear those are mainly dramas with comedic elements early on.
I would just stipulate that Mujin just doesn't like that comedy and drama often blur together in anime so much.
24:41 lol I'm dead 😂😂
The outro feels different today
it feels better
The worst tournament arc is in Seven Deadly Sins. They barely even have tournament matches before the whole thing breaks down.
Check that, make it plural.
The MHA anime was so disappointing for me, just like you said. It had an interesting premise and I was very invested in what's gonna heppen her and stuff. But then 3rd season and then 4th and 5th and I was already annoyed with it.
My take is that the 6th season should have happened by s4 more or less. Because I believe it could have done that while still having the well executed downtime.
And yet the author made a successful shōnen, which tells a lot. I am genuinely looking forward to what they do next, since I believe they can learn from MHA and make something truly great.
Anything that requires a strategy guide to optimise my viewing experience is not worth my time.
18:48 - I agree. I don't know if I'm the right person to ask though because my favorite JJK arc was the HIdden Inventory arc and maybe I'm just hanging out with the wrong people but I have not found too many others who agree.
Hentai used to get creatively freaky, nowadays hentai are just a collectathlon of tags or a recolouring of an existing hentai.
Well it's hard to surpass classics like the man who NTR'd himself or the boy who loses his dick and turns into Bobby "the beast" Sapp
tbh, that also applies to most media out there, especially books. Nowadays people won't tell you about the plot but some tags and tropes in it
@pitifulboyrottenboy1479 I can't say for sure because I mostly read old books. There is certainly a shift towards appealing to niches (make the story around the niche) instead of having niches as an organic part of the story.
Movies for example are pretty good nowadays. Once you escape from Hollywood movies, you will realise that there's actually a pretty healthy amount of new unique movies, this comes from someone that won't watch anything post 2005.
Games are also doing better than ever considering the indie scene.
Again books I have no idea about new releases.
@@gaarakabuto1 If you're looking for fantasy/action books that aren't just about tropes, would highly recommend Green Bone Saga. Granted the first book of the trilogy came out in late 2017, but since you said you mostly read old books I'm assuming this doesn't fall under that category.
@@TF_NowWithExtraCharacters Yeah I mostly read stuff of classical literature or within the spectrum of existentialism.
In terms of fantasy I would guess books are doing quite nice nowadays too.

@@ametozukumazu6073 he changed it
goddammn that intro for the AFK ad was too convincing 😂
People who hate Re:Zero always laser focus on the love triangle thing and ignore the rest of the masterpiece that it is 😭
Definitely high tier isekai.
@@Hallucinogenic00 Escaflowne and El-Hazard are underrated isekais
Same thing can be said for mushoku tensei, yea rudeus is creepy in the beginning but people choose to pin point that thing and forget how great charcter writing and world development is in MT
@@MikoYotsuya292 "Now and Then Here and There" is the true underrated isekai
It's isekai done right, I followed this series when the novel's were still ongoing and my only concern was if it ever got an anime adaptation that it would be done properly and it was done reasonably but still there was some good content that was not covered in the anime and I understand an anime adaptation is not going to be 100% faithful to the source material but it still sucks when it happens, I wish they put in Paul's last thoughts in episode 22 in season 2 it would have been nice.
I mostly agree with Luds take honestly. I loved Naruto, watched it as it released, couldn't get enough. Outside OP, it was my favorite show growing up, and when I graduated from dub to subs, I eagerly rewatched the whole show just to re-live it all again. But this year, I got the urge and went back. I found myself on my phone instead of watching too often, and eventually decided on re-reading instead and just watching the moments, ya know? Read Mist, watch the bridge, etc.
The guy that commented on down time and his response was spot on and my biggest gripe with JJK. Character development is more important to me than flashy fight sequences. I want those too but when we get both or a better balance of both is what makes a great story for me personally. Imagine if Thorfin just cut down Askeladd early on instead of letting him become an impactful character that ppl felt for despite him being a villain? That makes a world difference in my eyes.
Agreed
Maybe that’s the reason why I can’t bring myself to enjoy JJK or most recent shonen series.
The older I get, the more I prefer something more slow paced and character driven.
I thought the Savi take was extremely on point, I have always felt that way about Your Name, but I was slightly swayed by the argument of it being a great cinema experience. I think a big issue with Your Name in terms of being overrated was how many people were calling it the best anime movie ever, so when you are outright giving it the top spot then every additional criticism against it becomes that much more compelling. When I saw it for the first time I felt like there was only one direction the story was ever going, so I was hopeful that it would go in an unexpected direction. When it played out in a way similar to what I was expecting it did feel like a bit of a let down from a storytelling perspective.

Old ahh bot
26:36 this is kinda old, but school rumble is a good example for this
The Re:Zero is mid take (it’s peak 10/10) has me angry. Re:Zero is the reason I don’t consider Isekai a mid genre. Before Mushoku fans come, I haven’t seen it.
@@bakailfrozen1944 good take ngl
It definitely is my fav anime but there are just things that go over your head it's pushes info way to fast but those flaws are kinda what I need in a show it gives you info to figure out. But great take tho
@ the WN is peak, and I’ve experienced over 100 anime/manga. You sir don’t seem to understand the writing of Re:Zero. Anyway, my opinion is that I relate to Subaru more than any other character and that makes him a top tier character. Emilia is my favorite female character maybe and Rem is up at S tier as well. All the charters are well written and interesting and each arc spices up the story in different ways. Subaru’s suffering from return by death is so well written, especially in the WN.
@@NoahDoes-Art I only read up until arc 6 I think but it's definitely one of the franchises that felt so cared about... And rezero being one of the most popular ln and anime in Japan speaks volumes of how PEAK the story is. There are many things I love about re zero that people sometimes complain about like the "Subaru is annoying" and "it just pumps out info" the show pace is just right and it takes the consequences and morals that people have and turns it upside down... It's just PEAK it's a long side mushoku tensei and orefura I think no one knows this ln but it's definitely a fun ride and a great showcase of villain and intentions while also one of the funniest protags tsundere.
Honestly, I think Darling in the Franxx was actually quite overlooked in terms of story. There's so much that is hinted at as far as society and what happened in the latter half of the show (before the aliens twist, spoiler btw) and how decedant and dystopian society had become during this time. People are growing testtube babies to fight in robots cause everyone just gave up on reproducing to live longer but they're also stopping these kids from experiencing anything it means to be human on the deepest levels.
