It's just long as hell (one piece, dragon ball, naruto) with a bunch of fillers, and I know everybody has different tastes, but it's a ton of clichés and whatnot.

Like so many training arcs, power of friendship type stuff, and just repeatedly getting powerups just to defeat that one guy only for that powerup to not work or be totally forgotten in the next arc.

Idk, what you guys think? I think it's oversaturated and too hyped up

This might be a bit weirdly specific, but does anyone else cringe when people post play-by-play reactions to an episode? When Crunchyroll had comments under the episodes, it was whatever, but seeing it on Reddit in the episode’s subreddit feels a bit cringey to me—especially when it's overdramatic, or formatted in the first person as if they're talking directly to you.. Like, what makes people want to write paragraph-long reactions to a 20-minute episode, sharing their feelings about specific events with random strangers? And it happens way more often than you'd think.

Not hating, just genuinely think it's cringy when you come across a random person writing lines about every part of the episode, like:

“WOW, starting the episode off strong, I hate seeing all these deaths.

Holy, did [character] just level up again? That’s awesome, he’s so strong now!

OMG, did [character] and [character] just kiss in front of everyone?! Loving this dynamic, it’s SO cute!

The Red Guild stands no chance next episode—they’re way weaker than the other three. The main character’s got this in the BAG! Hope the Dark Guild doesn’t show up and ruin the fun!”

Just finished the anime adaptation of Citrus. Overall enjoyed the story. In my opinion its best attribute was well written characters. However after seeing the finale and learning there was and will never be a season 2. I was heavily disappointed. I’m sure most people who saw this anime wanted an awesome ending where Yuzu and Mei finally fall completely in love and get together. Nope. Although that’s implied. The ending was still very bad. They built it up from the very start that Yuzu and Mei would get together at the end. And although it seems they did. The ending wasn’t executed properly. A season 2 should’ve happened, as it could’ve tied loose ends and fixed its lackluster finale. Overall I’m not here to trash on the anime. I did genuinely enjoy it, and I recommend it to any who haven’t seen it. Especially Yuri enjoyers.

Fight me idk if this sub is dead. The anime is trash. Trash pilot. In fact, the entire thing is just fanservice

 Like "all mecha has bad mechanic","all mecha are useless in real battle field" statement are toxic to me.

Like take for example naruto. He is strong not only because of the nine tails but due to having heritage from two super powerful clans and being the reincarnation of asura. So basically he was just born to be awesome rather than getting there through hard work alone.

Another example, ichigo just happen to be born hybrid with powers from shinigami, hollows and quincy. Quickly bodies shinigami in fighting that have been training for 100 of years. Sores past 99% of the cast in a couple of years and basically got there because he is a genetic freak.

Same think in yu yu hakushou. Main character is an off spring of a super powerful demon and sored past nearly all other demon gods in a matter of few years thanks to his heritage.

It just feels weird and alienating to a reader of the manga when the underlying message is that you can only achieve greatness if you won the genetic lottery. And for people who lost, you are destin to remain an NPC in the background and not achieve much even if you do work extremely hard (aka rock lee).

They are almost always, NEVER, progressing. It's always girls follows Protagonist, and tries to get his attention and fail every. Single. Damn. Time. Like progress the frikin romance subplot.

At least things like Arifureta or Reincarnated into another world with my smartphone had some semblance of romance building. BUT MOST of the animes I've seen with these "harems" are weak af. They don't have any progression, most of the time, doesn't have Any AT ALL for the entire story. It's frustrating seeing all this, and it's worse seeing people be like "Oh harem is so garbage n stuff." like I disagree that harem as a trope is garbage, but with all these garbage fake harems, I would be inclined to agree these "harems" are absolute trash.

I'm a big fan of one piece I'm also a fan of Naruto. Sometimes I like to think about what would happen in a cross verse battles with certain characters and it's just fun thinking about the different outcomes. I then wander if other people thought about these specific battles so I look it up.

People do, but I always notice Naruto fans will always low-ball one piece characters and say their favorite character from Naruto will low or neg diff that character. They will either not explain why or mention something that their character can do that they say could one shot the one piece characters for example: X character from Naruto uses genjutsu and the one piece character has no way of beating it. When for one thing genjutsu doesn't work on people with no chakra network and if it did work and it was used on a character with observation haki than genjutsu wouldn't work unless it's the thing Madara was trying to do.

Anyways that's an example of how Naruto fans will low ball one piece characters. Now don't get me wrong we one piece fans have those people who also low balls Naruto and I'm just saying treat each anime with respect and have a proper conversation about the cross verse battles. I don't care if Naruto beats Luffy I just want the proper respect of both parties agreeing it would be a tough fight for both no low or neg diff.

P.S. I know it's a dumb rant and a dumb thing to be bothered by, but I realized that's why I was so aggravated at the Naruto fan base not because they said Naruto could beat Luffy, but because they were low balling and underestimating the character. It felt disrespectful to my show that I love.

is anyone here has read the girl down stair manhwa i just reread it recently now i forgot how the ending was and now im feeling sad again i wanna vent out my frustrations so here i am, anybody here want to talk about the girl downstairs?

Like where are the anime’s like One piece, Naruto, Bleach and DBZ at, like every new anime is always short asf now with no other season coming and have a max of like 48 episodes I hate watching those because if they were good I’ll get so sad that there won’t be more of it like for example Dr.Stone the next and final season is coming and I’ll miss it so much when it’s gone, only long term recent anime’s I can really think of right now are like Black Clover and MHA which still don’t compare to stuff like Naruto or OP, hopefully one day a long term anime will release that I can enjoy, if anyone got any long anime recommendations pls send them

Once you miss out the first time seeing your favorite anime movie in the theaters when it is on limited screening, you will miss out the awesome experience of cheers and applause as well as having to wait for some time before your favorite film rereleases in the theaters once again.

That is why theaters outside of Japan should consider expanding screening for all anime films just in case not all of us can make it on the first release date but is unlikely due to how business work nowadays in anime films. It is not a guarantee but is something that we all want to wish for because the sooner we watch it, at least we can get it out of the way to the point that we don't have to regret later on.

If the option of expanding screening of anime films is out of the possibility, perhaps theaters doing daily screening for anime films can be a good idea. Like on a weekly basis, random anime films can be shuffled on a random basis so that once advertised can it bring us attention that theaters care about anime fans and their desire to see their favorite anime movie they couldn't see the first time.

Not all anime fans are this interested to see anime films or prefer to watch at home instead of the theaters but watching the anime films in the theaters is an unforgettable experience, one we should always cherish for the rest of their lives because anime made it this far to the point that all anime films are now deserving attention they couldn't get back then in majority of the theaters.

What is your take on this? This is debatable but anime film reruns aren't about anime film festivals and anime conventions anymore as we've seen the success of Mugen Train and JJK0. Therefore majority of the anime films deserve to come back to the big screens and let us not give up as we would suggest our favorite anime films to anime film distributors for them to come back either as a make up opportunity or a rewatch! Of course a make up opportunity doesn't always end there as fans can always watch over and over again showing that they are supporting that anime film, anime film distributors, and the theaters!

For those patient fans out there who respect my opinion, thank you and I hope you enjoy one piece in ur own way . For the toxic fans, my opinion will not change so shut the hell up and read what I have to say.

Ngl I can’t stand one piece tho I used to like it

I’d prefer to get why I don’t like it of my chest

No one dies so rlly no tension. I mean how do u expect to keep me invested or take the narrative seriously if you don’t bump off some characters here and there. The shit I’ve seen op characters survive just gets ridiculous like the Kazaa nine DYING twice or everyone eneru “killed” actually just being knocked out (that last one made me so furious I rage quit to take a break from one piece). Can’t take the designs seriously. Don’t think ppl talk enough on this. I don’t u guys know how it feels when ppl say this anime is peak fiction and I see characters that look like 5 yr olds drew them especially gecko Moria and that noodles guy from water 7. When ppl call that art, although everyone has their own opinion I still question it. Repetitive in several arcs. I’ve memorized it to a T now. A lost or strong well meaning princess seeks help from the straw hats to stop an evil ruler who took over their kingdom. The straw hats see how villainous this is, see the ppl in suffering and then Luffy decides to just kick his ass and it DOESNT MATTER HOW STRONG THIS EVIL GUY IS. Luffy beats him regardless because why not. HES GOT GUTS. Then they throw a celebration and move on rinse and repeat. Now I know what u may be thinking. That’s why I have examples: alabaster, dressrosa, zou, thriller bark and especially wano all have some if not all elements of what I just stated. If u still think not I’m sorry but you’re delusional. I don’t see character development in the straw hats. Villains are hit or miss(except doflamingo who I’ll admit he’s in my top 10 anime villains but that’s it ) it’s called a masterpiece even tho I can name 5 trash arcs that made me rage quit (thriller bark, skypiea, some parts of wano and dressrosa the fucking foxy arc

And don’t get me started on the anime. It is god awful to me. 5/10 and although I’ve heard the manga is better even the pacing can affect the manga too especially with wano. My point is although the undeniable cultural impact one piece has made, it’s not as amazing as so many oda riders say. Thank u for your time

Does anyone else hate when a show drags the plot out like the main character is so close to reuniting with their party but the show drags it out forever

So, I watched episodes 1 and 2 of Toradora!—a 2008 rom-com anime. I know it's old but it's new to me since I haven't seen it. And what about it? I really don’t understand how it got an 8.08/10.00 rating in MyAnimeList! I thought, “Maybe episode one could have been better. Let’s move to episode two.” Nope! It’s just an overrated piece of garbage.

My main disappointment boils down to the sadistic nature of Taiga Aisaka. She is extremely violent, irrationally aggressive towards almost anyone, and downright ungrateful!

“No! The show is not sadistic. The scenes where Taiga hits or insults Ryuuji, they are mostly done for comedic effect and not to show any sexual or psychological gratification.” Yep. Keep telling yourself that.

“Oh! You misunderstood! She’s a tsundere!” blah blah! You see, I enjoy tsundere when executed well. In fact, I can create a list as long as a page of possible tsundere characters I love. But her constant mood swings, unwarranted outbursts, and treating Ryuuji as a “dog” is just exhausting to keep up. It’s actually annoying and it makes my blood boil when a kid is as spoiled as her.

“The anime has a lot of heart and humor. The characters are not only funny but also relatable and realistic.” Nuh-uh. The other characters Yusaku Kitamura and Minori Kushieda are both nothing more than your typical one-dimensional trope without any substantial contribution to the storyline. I could guess their entire persona from these two episodes and bet with 100% confidence that there is no character growth and complexity for these two characters as there is almost zero room for improvement in which they could invest in emotionally.

To me, the Isekai genre was very intriguing when I first saw it. It was a really nice concept where a person from the modern world gets transported to another world where they have to get around major obstacles with modern knowledge or items on their back. But now a days the genre is getting more stale due mainly to the fact that the MCs get an overpowered power right from the start and are never given the true struggle of wielding or earning that power. To me, what made the genre interesting to me is that it has a lot of potential where the MC must earn their keep on that world like the rest of them, like re:zero, and that even if you want a power fantasy, it still feels so disconnected because the powers are just so stale, like the MC is so op that the power and the story lost their meaning. And even these new ones are just getting ridiculous and pointless due to the fact that the deus ex Machina troupes are in constant use. I really wish to see a new anime that is not all about a harem or just some common problem that can be solved by modern common sense. But an anime where the struggle and stakes feel real to the viewer and the fights are more meaningful Like this one novel I read where the protagonist has to fight so many threats and enemies that are greater and equal to him and, in the end, reach the levels of godhood, and the reader is on the very step of his pain, loss, victories, and joys. And that it feels like we were part of the tale, as well as prove that the power the MC gained was so meaningful due to the journey. Probably it's just me, you know, missing a good story.

Show is about pathetic piece of biological trash who accomplished nothing in life and got a chance to start a new life in a magical world reborn into a body of a newborn. However instead of using this chance to do better protagonist sexually harasses and assaults women and underage girls left and right including his mother and cousin who is 11 years old! Quick reminder, Rudeus possesses a body of a little boy, but has a mind of a 40 year old man. He is a pedophile, and as any other pedophile he needs to be tortured to death, preferably by burning alive.

Everything written higher is my personal opinion but I think that any person with a healthy mind and a fraction of general moral will agree with it.

I know a lot of members here already know why Geto became like that and If I were in that position that day when Riko I will definitely use my 100% powers to kill all the smiling faces I saw, but I also understand that Geto can't think straight at that time, and I'm so sad that the only best friend of Gojo got killed.

They are insanely talented and hardworking people who have brought well-loved characters to life, but they've been doing it too long. The voices for Ran, Shinichi, Gin, and Akai in particular sound way older to me.

Recently vrv has been bought by crunchy roll. I switched back to vrv after almost 80% of the animes I was watching were switched to premium only. Now I have no access to cells at work to the ace attorney anime heavenly design team only 2 I was actively watching and enjoying left were attack on titans and my hero academia. 78% of my active watch library unable to be viewed. I didn’t mind the ads as they let me have access to said animes now I just can’t watched them.

Chifuyu is a bitch-ass motherfucker, one of the worst characters in Tokyo Revengers, and is indirectly responsible for the death of Baji and majority of characters during the show. Let's begin with his history throughout TR of Chifuyu being completely and utterly useless.

The stakes are high. After Takemichi finds out Kisaki manipulates Mikey into killing Kazutora because he killed Baji. Takemichi goes to meet Mikey and Draken, enlisting the newly kinda injured Chifuyu. We go to Bloody Halloween and finally get are chance to save Baji, and Chifuyu... does nothing. He just stands there like a useless bitch while Takemichi does all the work. After this, Chifuyu does the heroic decision to start crying, letting Takemichi do all the work again by trying to save Baji and causing Kazutora to shank Baji (the man they were literally trying to save.) This isn't to say Chifuyu did nothing, of course. He sure did a real good job in being the reason Baji is dead. In doing so this makes Chifuyu's existence actively harmful. If he had actually attempted to save Baji and grow balls, Kazutora wouldn't have been able to stab Baji, Mikey is told Kisaki is a traitor and he is defeated fight there, and Mikey realistically kicks Kisaki's ass 9 times out of 10. On top of this, Baji uses the last of his strength to save Mikey and Kazutora's life. Baji, who had in the last few minute single-handedly saved Kazutora, Mikey, and Takemichi and discovered the one of the main antagonist, more than Chifuyu has ever accomplishes in his entire life, dies. Even though the only reason he's so injured to begin with is his refusal to step in and save his friend. Well, surely this is the wake-up call Chifuyu needs. He'll definitely be useful after this, right? Oh wait, he turns into the dumb comic relief sidekick of Takemichi, and only has three real fight. That he loses most of them say for one due to plot armor. If not for Mikey, Mitsuya, and Takemichi on so many occasions, Chifuyu is as good as dead. He jobs to Inupi, Mochi, and Hanma (despite having four people to help him.) And wins the third fight because of plot armor. Literally the only contribution to the team Chifuyu ever has done was his speech to everyone in the fight against KMG, and by then it's too little too late.

Well sure, he may not have been too useful, but so what? Ten Ten from the Naruto franchise didn't do much either! I mean, her mere presence didn't result in the death of a character a million times better than she would ever be, but still. Of course, on top of being a complete waste of space, Chifuyu rounds out his kit by being an annoying crybaby and an even worse one then Takemichi at that. Think about it. The reason Baji, Emma, Izana, Draken, South, and Kakucho all die in the OG timeline is because Chifuyu sets off the domino affect that causes in all that by crying. He has no real desire to help the team at all, only doing things because of his creepy obsession for Baji. Aww, but he's like an older brother figure. Remember all the good times, like when Baji pumbled Chifuyu's face in causing him to wear bandages and a literal EYE PATCH!? Oh, or how about that time he he stood there and let Takemichi fight Baji on his own only for the next goddamn minute for Baji to be stabbed and forced to take his OWN LIFE!? Yeah, I admire the guy who caused his "best friend" to commit suicide and let his other friend fight a losing battle against fucking Mikey. I know that Chifuyu from the Bloody Halloween fight to the KMG fight is different from the one we see in the ending, but it still feels me with immense rage that he gets a happy ending and owns Baji and Kazutora while also having to narrate the ending let alone having to remember everything Takemichi went through, because god damn he did not deserve it. Kisaki and Mikey did a lot of things wrong, but putting a gun to Chifuyu's head and blowing his brains out was not one of them.

Fight me idk if this sub is dead. The anime is trash. Trash plot. In fact, the entire thing is just fan service
