This. Fucking this. And hell yes, I am defending this. This is why I am also enthralled about this. I keep forgetting as I live in this nation that it's a nation that ties responsibility to everything and is infact more afraid of the fact that if people caught onto the idea of freedom and human autonomy as principle, and this goes to sequential art. This is why I tell off the anime purist shitheads out here that their "tastes" are self deluded fucking garbage and they need to mind their own fucking business, because what they are looking for isn't "quality control", it's content control. An actual healthy market and industry is with variety and as one of art, with expression. Should gorefests and offensive bombastic blow out your ass callout stories be the majority? Obviously not, but it should exist as to society and a need to express frustrations and calling out bullshit and excess of society or just put out gruesome and morbid curiosities. And unless they have the actual gall to create stuff to prove their intentions, they're nothing but whiners.
So called moral authorities deserve their uphill struggle to be like a mountain, because they don't know what it means to be human in their naieve black and white crusade. Fuck them.

I don't remember who said it, but I recall a kiwi here mentioning a similar breaking point moment where the main villain had years of time in prison to figure out a way to beat All might with dozens of different quirks at his disposal and his only plan was to make a really big fist so he could punch harder, and then all might won by punching even harder than that.

Hey that was me! The thing that really just bugs me about MHA is that it's like it TRIES to do something different and be more mature, but when it's time to commit to the big risks the mangaka gets cold feet and it's back to typical shonen tropes. I stopped following it a while back but I heard that it happened again with the villain arc, where it seriously seemed to be leading into a situation where the villains actually won, only to have the heroes pull through against all odds and everything going back to normal. I haven't read or watched Black Clover but I'd probably enjoy it a lot more, because I'd rather have a story that knows exactly what it is and just lives up to that to the fullest extent, than a story that constantly teases you by pushing the boundary only to pull back at the last second and doing the conventional, expected thing.

One of the good things about Black Clover is that it doesn't try to take itself too seriously, though it almost lost me earlier on where I swear there was like 5 minutes of recap at the beginning of each episode.
But then we got the badass fight with Vetto where they used the original OP and I've been with it ever since.

3 episode rule is up for mushoku and it's still an excellent adaptation with extremely high production value. I can't remember the last time I watched a series that was this faithful to the source material, and I don't even mean the Light Novel in this case, I mean the 2012 webnovel. The director clearly loves this story to bits, otherwise he wouldn't be putting in nearly as much effort to make everything flow as well as he is.

You should try MHA Vigilantes. It's sometimes better than the OG manga, IMO.

Just finished binging the second half of Fate Apocrypha because I quit in the middle and always wondered how bad it could have been?
Quite bad. Fate Apocrypha feels like a soulless mishmash of ideas from the Fate series being used by a shitty writer, ie. a fanfic. There is a big problem of characters reacting like retards for no real reason and forgetting basic shit they can do because that would break the plot. For example, Assassin attacking a character that doesn't use her command spells to recall her servant, despite that being the very point of command spells. Or the very act of that assassin attacking its own team being purely due to the writer not having anything to do with the character besides filler. The whole system of servants doesn't seem to matter anymore. Assassin is just a caster (who's completely identical to Caster from the original Fate), Rider not being able to outrun anyone despite it being his fucking point. Everyone are just as strong as the plot needs them to be rather than have distinct pros and cons.
But the biggest problem in the show is the focus on servant characters. A big point in the Fate series is that, barring Arthuria, the servants summoned are basically copies of the original heroes. Meaning any event they went through is wiped away from their souls after being released. This makes any character developement of theirs completely pointless and the show seemingly forgets that incredibly important factoid, since it literally dumps almost all the masters midway through. The characters that are not servants include the extremely boring main character Sieg, a homonoculous who needs to face the fact that human societies will always fuck over part of its populace. Oh it's so deep and complex! Should we like human despite them killing each other? Someone inform Hajime Isayama of this deep masterpiece.
The only good thing about the series is Mordred and her master, who are pretty much the only interesting and likable characters. Also Siegfried is a failure and from what I heard it seems to pass over to the Gacha. And loli Assassin should have killed Jeanne because, at least if I remember correctly, in-lore, the more specified a curse it, the more powerful it is. And loli Assassin has a fucking checklist of requirements. Also shouldn't the ability to summon "evil" servants be due to the grail being polluted?

Watching Jojo for the first time and nearing the end of part 3.
Holy shit I can’t believe I was ignoring this show for so long. It is an absolute blast.
Joesph in particular is fantastic.
EDIT: Now I've finished part 3. I'm feeling sad now.

Finally got around to finishing up everything from last season, to give a little bit of my thoughts about them:
-Adachi to Shimamura - This one was a surprise to me, ended up really enjoying it even if as a "romance" it didn't get far (or really even started). The focus would swap between the two main characters which I found pretty interesting, made both of them feel fleshed out which not every series can do, though I'll say that Adachi was my favorite. Would definitely recommend for those that wanted something similar to Bloom into You. Probably my favorite series of the season.
-Love Live - Didn't turn out like I expected but it was still pretty enjoyable, kind of fell into the problem of the bulk of episodes falling into intro episodes for each character with similar plots (Previous episode sets up idea of problem -> Bulk of next episode focus on that character and their problem -> At their most down they receive pep talk/encouragement that helps them overcome issue ->episode ends with MV showcasing that character). They also tried their best with the large cast, but it made me feel like it was an ad to play the game and get actual depth for each character unlike the sampling of the anime. CGI for the dances were great, really come along way from the early Love Live season or Aikatsu, curious if Sunrise now has a highly skilled division that just deals with cgi for their idol stuff.
-Maou-jou de Oyasumi- I loved the manga so I was already expecting it to be great, but I felt like the anime might even be better than the manga just with all the stuff it adds. Real blast to watch through, would recommend to anyone looking for a nice comedy series.
I was also watching Fruit Tart but ended up dropping it around episode 7 since it just wasn't doing anything for me. It's not bad, just found I wasn't really paying attention while watching and could better spend my time watching something else.

Its kind off a shame Vigilantes will probably end with out getting an anime since while I enjoy it more then the main series, the artwork is lacking at times, and assuming no CGI shit Koichi's slide and glide quirk would be fun to see in motion.
Speaking of Vigilantes, anyone want to give their thoughts on how Six stacks up to to the main series villains since on paper he should be kind of shit
a literal schizo AfO helped cook up that thinks he's the successor of a former hero
I'm a bit meh on him since while he has been more of a threat to the main cast, potentially killing two of the mains and offing a decent amount of side characters, his little interaction with the main cast outside of Kunkleduster kind of cheapens said threat (was one of my complaints about the bee villain) and any and all grudges he has with them are entirely in his head (wasn't exaggerating what I said his backstory was).
The Jojo fandom seems to miss the point of of it being a fun and silly show.
I really like that though. He's this fucked up hopelessly delusional psycho Koichi can never reason with or understand, and even though he's important as an obstacle and now an object of obsession to Six, Koichi doesn't even know who he is, even though he secretly wormed his way into his social circle. A lot of stories have a villain who wrongs the protagonist and sees both them and the wrong as insignificant, if they even perceive them at all, then the protagonist goes on a quest to hunt him down and avenge himself, here it's the other way around but he still thinks he's the protagonist. The guy is a lot of fun in general.
For the most part, I'm pretty new to anime. I started watching One Piece (my first anime) in summer of last year and have gotten up to the Alabasta arc. Then I left it to squirm for a while and watched some of soul eater which was OK, then left that too to go watch the first few episodes of Cowboy Bebop and left THAT to start Naruto a couple weeks ago. I guess you could say I'm a bit of a hermit when it comes to anime, most of the time i'm too lazy to even watch it, watching youtube instead of it. Guess I should explain why I started watching the anime that I watched. I chose One Piece because it seemed cool to have a pirate anime and some of the fight scenes seemed dynamic and fluid. Its gonna be a long journey to finish it. I picked Soul Eater next because a friend of mine from about 2 years ago was watching it and asked him if it was good, he said yes. Cowboy Bebop because I heard it was really good and also had a phenomenal English dub ( I don't like watching anime in sub) and finally Naruto. Picked Naruto because I got a few videos on you tube which were Rock Lee's fights with Gaara and Kimimaro. He is now my favorite character and my main in Naruto Storm 4. Rock Lee is just such a badass and I wish they could've part more of him in Shippuden. That's just from what I heard though.
I really want to get into more anime. I used to be so deeply involved in the community that I probably watched every anime that came out during one year. Then I kind of got more involved in other things, and for the most part anime slipped to the waste side. Except Love Live. I have no idea why I'm so into that franchise, but I am. I watch the anime, the "Lives" aka concerts. I get the merch. I would say it's a guilty pleasure but I'm not even ashamed of it. A lot of people trash on it and that's okay - shit makes me happy and I'll take my happiness where I can get it these days.
I'm currently re-watching Yu Yu Hakusho, one of my all time favorite animes.
Not entirely unrelated, I both recently found out that my little sister loves Hunter x Hunter, and that YYH and HxH were actually made by the same guy.
I believe I've convinced my sister to watch YYH at some point (she'd heard of it before but had never seen it before I told her how fantastic it was), and knowing it was made by the same guy who made YYH, I already want to see HxH (after I finish re-watching Yu Yu Hakusho of course), but I noticed that there are two entirely different versions of that in anime form: I don't do Manga- the 1999 one and the 2011 one.
I've heard that neither of them are actually finished, even now, (but the 2011 version obviously has has more story because it came out like a decade later), I actually have access to both versions because I'm cool like that, but my sister said she's only seen the 2011 version and couldn't actually tell me which one was better. So I'm asking you guys. Which one should I start with? (I'll watch them both eventually.)
