I'm pissed, talk about squandering something promising

dude, people who like this series are fucked in the head
Here's the TV cut OP
don't watch this fucking show
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 they can't do concurrent storytelling without just shotgunning 1,000 retarded plotlines into what should have just been a straightforward fun post-apoc drama (edited)
All I need is reddit to love this show and I guessed everything about this show correctly
they (and everyone) liked E1, I predict they will hate this show when all's said and done
it's too niche of a series for there to be lots of detailed discussion of the trainwreck that's coming
what's disappointing is the show is KINO
animation, sound, pacing, design, lines, VA, everything
and the core story is simple
they've fucked up such a simple story with retarded bullshit
it's literally tLoU, but we need to disguise that
so lets throw bullshit moral/ethical/existential nonsense everywhere to see if that makes us artsy
rather than going trippy artsy like Sonny Boy or w/e that could actually work
that OP, is great, and if the show was ANYTHING actually like that it'd be amazing
take a simple story, and add depth, or make it more complex underneath, tell multiple stories, do ANYTHING with it
don't go full Lost
the more I read the manga summaries and key chapters, the angrier this made me, the author is a hack
worse than Promised Neverland, which was the bar I was holding this to
because I like tPM, even though it's kind of a mess
despite being clearly inspired by it
This show will not succeed, it will not be memorable, and will only be liked by 80IQ retards who coom to Violet Evergarden being a masterpiece
and the main audience, is Latin America somehow, that's where Disney is pushing this series the hardest
oh right, if you didn't know, it's Disney+ first real anime thing
lmao
no I didn't know that
makes sense that it is a mess, anything disney does is a mess
and they went for full Mexican and BR Portuguese dubs
They needed to understand that mexicans like dragon ball and shonen like that
and this isn't that
idfk what Disney was thinking, or why they even picked it up
tbh, it's a lot like Japan Sinks, but without being bad funny
and I'm someone who will put up with bullshit narrative/character complexity
or unresolved plot points, if they're in service of something
but reading about this series, and the feeling that I think is inescapable after E2
is that this show doesn't deserve to exist
Okay, but what if they throw away all the plot points at the end, and go into space to fight the aliens (the real enemy)
then they turn into a tree
Looking at mal scores, this is another season where I am mostly watching 6.0-6.5 rated shows that I think are underrated
other than megumine and oshi-no ko, the only thing I am watching that has a decent score is the elf show
what is Promised Neverlands MAL score?
S2 is 5.31
S1?
S1 is 8.52
lol
I predict this will get a mid 7, weighed down by a LOT of 4s and 5s
seems likely, its a low 8 right now based mostly off E1 ratings
E1 sold me on the show HARD
I can't undersell how good E1 was
top shows by E1 according to mal
oshi no ko does not really count
and sequels get the sequel effect bump
good list
CGI klombak show is barely above a 7 right now at 7.04
all of my other shows are sub 7 lol
for posterity
also, last thing on this
I don't even think E2 will get hate for the right reasons right away
people will complain about shit that's not well explained rn, but it's the larger fundamental problems that will destroy all good will for this series
anyway, I hope whatever you're watching today is better than that trash
Well I am glad E2 answered my "Spooky if this is good in 3-4 episodes let me know, I'll watch it" statement I made in vc
well, my isekai show is the lowest rated show I am watching this season so far apparently
so its probably alright
Pika can I spoil a plot point for you in VC
it's funny
Sure, I am not going to watch it lol
true
