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

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:09 PM anime

they (and everyone) liked E1, I predict they will hate this show when all's said and done

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:11 PM anime

it's too niche of a series for there to be lots of detailed discussion of the trainwreck that's coming

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:11 PM anime

what's disappointing is the show is KINO

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:12 PM anime

animation, sound, pacing, design, lines, VA, everything

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:12 PM anime

and the core story is simple

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:12 PM anime

they've fucked up such a simple story with retarded bullshit

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:13 PM anime

it's literally tLoU, but we need to disguise that

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:13 PM anime

so lets throw bullshit moral/ethical/existential nonsense everywhere to see if that makes us artsy

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:14 PM anime

rather than going trippy artsy like Sonny Boy or w/e that could actually work

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:14 PM anime

that OP, is great, and if the show was ANYTHING actually like that it'd be amazing

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:14 PM anime

Rip

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:15 PM anime

take a simple story, and add depth, or make it more complex underneath, tell multiple stories, do ANYTHING with it

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:15 PM anime

don't go full Lost

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:15 PM anime

the more I read the manga summaries and key chapters, the angrier this made me, the author is a hack

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:15 PM anime

worse than Promised Neverland, which was the bar I was holding this to

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:16 PM anime

because I like tPM, even though it's kind of a mess

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:16 PM anime

despite being clearly inspired by it

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:17 PM anime

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

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:17 PM anime

and the main audience, is Latin America somehow, that's where Disney is pushing this series the hardest

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:18 PM anime

oh right, if you didn't know, it's Disney+ first real anime thing

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:18 PM anime

lmao

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:18 PM anime

no I didn't know that

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:18 PM anime

makes sense that it is a mess, anything disney does is a mess

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:18 PM anime

and they went for full Mexican and BR Portuguese dubs

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:18 PM anime

They needed to understand that mexicans like dragon ball and shonen like that

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:19 PM anime

^

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:19 PM anime

and this isn't that

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:19 PM anime

idfk what Disney was thinking, or why they even picked it up

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:19 PM anime

tbh, it's a lot like Japan Sinks, but without being bad funny

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:20 PM anime

and I'm someone who will put up with bullshit narrative/character complexity

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:20 PM anime

or unresolved plot points, if they're in service of something

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:21 PM anime

but reading about this series, and the feeling that I think is inescapable after E2

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:21 PM anime

is that this show doesn't deserve to exist

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:21 PM anime

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)

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:21 PM anime

then they turn into a tree

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:22 PM anime

Looking at mal scores, this is another season where I am mostly watching 6.0-6.5 rated shows that I think are underrated

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:22 PM anime

other than megumine and oshi-no ko, the only thing I am watching that has a decent score is the elf show

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:23 PM anime

what is Promised Neverlands MAL score?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:23 PM anime

S2 is 5.31

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:23 PM anime

S1?

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:23 PM anime

S1 is 8.52

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:24 PM anime

lol

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:24 PM anime

I predict this will get a mid 7, weighed down by a LOT of 4s and 5s

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:24 PM anime

seems likely, its a low 8 right now based mostly off E1 ratings

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:25 PM anime

E1 sold me on the show HARD

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:25 PM anime

I can't undersell how good E1 was

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:25 PM anime

top shows by E1 according to mal

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:25 PM anime

oshi no ko does not really count

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:25 PM anime

and sequels get the sequel effect bump

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:25 PM anime

good list

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:26 PM anime

CGI klombak show is barely above a 7 right now at 7.04

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:26 PM anime

all of my other shows are sub 7 lol

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:26 PM anime

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:26 PM anime

for posterity

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:28 PM anime

also, last thing on this

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:28 PM anime

I don't even think E2 will get hate for the right reasons right away

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:29 PM anime

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

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

anyway, I hope whatever you're watching today is better than that trash

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

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

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

well, my isekai show is the lowest rated show I am watching this season so far apparently

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

so its probably alright

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

Pika can I spoil a plot point for you in VC

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

it's funny

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:30 PM anime

Sure, I am not going to watch it lol

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:53 PM anime

bob Apr 8, 2023 4:54 PM anime

all but one of the people I've known who like that show have been absolute faggots

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:54 PM anime

true

bob Apr 8, 2023 4:55 PM anime

2/3 that's a 66.6% incidence rate

Phijkchu_Pikachu Apr 8, 2023 4:55 PM anime

Spooky Phijkchu Apr 8, 2023 4:56 PM anime
