I like it in that it's simple and fun, but it doesn't really compete with story-driven stuff to me
anime

Spooky describes what I like better
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak I know nothing about that, except based on what I heard it seemed like something I would not like
Yeah it’s kinda just rinse and repeat with fighting and same tropes.
Yeah, it seemed like battle shonen slop to me when we watched the trailers
and I saw normies hyping it up as the next best thing, so I figured that was correct
My buddy was obsessed with watching it and catching the new episodes, then the last few I think he realized it was kinda lame
That and the name of it is literally a fart
I think if I had to put my perspective on anime into words, I appreciate when a show accomplishes exactly what it set out to do and does it well. I think all of my favourite shows fall under that category
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time imo SLF is good but it goes off on too many side arcs and ignores too many already established interesting characters (edited)
This is also one reason I don’t like it, you get a new person and then nothing about them for a season, then it’s like oh hey remember me?
interspecies reviewers is a flawless product given what it set out to do
Watched any of the muv-luv universe animes?
Gundams versus aliens basically
Gotta remember, I only started watching anime in 2016
so old things that are long (lots of seasons), I probably have not watched
old being pre 2010
I think a muv-luv show was out in 2016
there are modern ones coming out
but I'd have to watch all of them
I do not start in the middle of a franchise
Then again most of it is in manga
Most of the muv-luv doesn’t connect I think?
Which is why I will never watch gundam
I am not watching 40 years of old anime even if I was curious about a few of the more modern ones
Each show is kinda set in its own world
Scarlet Witch was good, but not *that* good lol
I am curious about that one, and the one that gundam people who hate 86 say is just 86 but better
lol, in no world is it better than 86
I am trying to remember which gundam that is
iron blooded orphans, thats the one people compare to 86
I liked iron blood orphans but didn’t watch scarlet witch
even though 86 has a few fuckups in the 2nd season
I appreciated season 2 more on rewatch, but I agree that it is the weaker of the two seasons
season 1 was a complete story effectively though, so its kind of hard to continue that
Code Geass (while not really a mech show) is my favorite mech show
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time i'll say i dont watch any gundam/mecha shows (at least on purpose)
Gotta watch code geasus
a lot of that's nostalgia, sure
but it's up there with FMA on "every time I re-watch it I have a completely different perspective"
I do not think I've watched too many mecha shows
I can only think of 86 and metallic rougue and franxx
2 of which are actual garbage
Spooky is an akagi enjoyer 100%
I don't rewatch shows really, but of the couple I have those stand out
no, sorry
Akagi and Lupin I lump together
and never picked them up because of the artstyle
Spooky made me watch code geass, was not the biggest fan!
The plot made zero sense!
lol
I made Pika join us for watching the S3 movie
Spooky made us watch the 3rd? movie
as the first thing he saw
Oh god
Shield hero season 2 is mine, and it will stay that way
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Shield hero season 2 is mine, and it will stay that way
Watched this recently, it was like hotdog water
The Day I became God I gave a 1
idr what else I gave 1's to
I did not hate it that much
especially because I really liked the first part of it!
someone pull up my MAL and check
bottom of your mal
Arifueta lol
Spooky after he gave up on updating his list only rated things 10s or 1s for a bit
iirc
Replying to Dialga #god_of_time death note is a show that was good then drove itself off a cliff and ruined itself because "wait we can't actually let the "bad guy" win"
Dang haven’t finished watching it but if he doesn’t win I’ll be pissed
Death note is notorious for having a really bad final season
not that I've watched it, it does not appeal to me
I didn't find keeping my MAL up-to-date was enjoyable
