anime

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

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

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

true

2/3 that's a 66.6% incidence rate

@ xbrox @ vinny

no

not them

wat

xbrox you r cool

so xbrox, is One Piece socialist?

I'm not even sure what that's supposed to mean

based xbrox W

when have i not been based?

I really like this op

I like the vibe they went for in S1 a touch more, but I like this one too

Season 1 is my favorite OP but this one is still really good

....is spear guy even capable of feeling regret?

he might be too stupid for that

do not talk about lennod like that........

hey I'm a spear guy

one of my best melee weapons is a polearm
