shadow knot
rakudai kishi no calvary ye?
topaz linden
Oh, that one?
wheat aspen
this one
shadow knot
LOL
topaz linden
but god damnit
spare isle
gave that a 5 i think
topaz linden
Let me read the fucking tournament arc
shadow knot
stella was a guilty pleasure tsundere 🥴
topaz linden
The anime ended right before the "big tournament".
Okay... lemme check the OVA. Ends right before the big tournament....
Okay... lemme check the manga.
Manga ends on their way to the big tournament
shadow knot
right Jake
spare isle
i dont think it helps that it aired at a similar time to alderamin
shadow knot
ik my friend was complaining cuz the anime just ended like that
spare isle
which was the far better show with a redhead
topaz linden
ik my friend was complaining cuz the anime just ended like that
The manga's ending was even more of a tease lol
You don't just end at the START of a tournament arc 
topaz linden
yee, but after getting teased 3 times, I lost the motivation tbh
wheat aspen
all the waifu bait chars are redheads
shadow knot
honestly fair
wheat aspen
You don't just end at the START of a tournament arc <:HuTaoPepeHands:83070889020...
have you seen Asterisk War
it kinda filled that gap for me
it’s literally the same anime but worse
topaz linden
light novel ongoing?
LN's finished as far as I know tho, so it probably got to it. (or it got axed right before it lol)
wheat aspen
but it has an S2 so it makes up for it tbh
topaz linden
Only thing I know about Asterisk War is I like the ED (and it looks like Rakudai-lite)
wheat aspen
is it waiting for the rain
topaz linden
yeh
wheat aspen
i still listen to that
spare isle
elfen lied 9 💀
spare isle
majikoi 7 noooooooooooooooo
wheat aspen
which one was that again
spare isle
the hella fun harem
wheat aspen
oh that
it was certainly interesting
tbh i don’t remember anything much from it tho 💀
spare isle
one of my fav vns and i respected that they gave the main character a good voice actor
topaz linden
I remember Trinity Seven had like, 3 good OP and EDs for being pretty much generic harem with only the thinnest plot put on top lol
wheat aspen
trinity seven got a passing grade
topaz linden
Yeh, never gave it a second thought after finishing, but I still listen to the EDs/OPs when they come up in my weeb playlist
spare isle
forgettable seasonal show
doesnt help that it aired during my crazy year where i basically watched every single thing airing each season
which i think was like what 2014?
wheat aspen
i find new music through mutual artists and then find anime through their popular songs
like hiroyuki sawano, found him through re creators or something and found 86 because of it
and undoubtedly 86 is just superb
topaz linden

Re:Creators 👀
wheat aspen
i was on episode 17 or something before i started something else and then forgot about it
spare isle
respect that they tried something different with that but it fell apart
and the general plot/message was so one dimensional lol
had so much potential particularly with the witch girl forgot her name
topaz linden
Mamika from that is still my favorite depiction of a magical girl (normally hate the genre)
spare isle
magane
she was cool
more or less most of the other characters were bland and had zero depth
shadow knot
ahh noooo @wheat aspen you put gurren lagann on hold and said it fell off heavy nooooo 💀💀
spare isle
mamika was literally just a third rate madoka
down to the name
gurren lagann would have been peak if it ended after ep1 tbh
seemed like they started off making a one-shot and tried to build on it from there
wheat aspen
ahh noooo <@!612631809045430304> you put gurren lagann on hold and said it fell...
never liked shounen tbh. someone said it had romance so i watched it ||and then they killed off the guy so i got bored||
shadow knot
episode 1 for gurren lagann was really strong as hell
spare isle
the way ep1 ended like
it was done
he made it to the surface
he achieved his goal
they kinda had to force the story to continue from there lol
shadow knot
never liked shounen tbh. someone said it had romance so i watched it ||and then ...
who said ttgl was a shounen? did it get serialized as one?
wheat aspen
pretty sure it’s considered shounen by a lot of people?
it sure has a lot of shounen tropes
shadow knot
you see action romance comedy and call it shounen, sure I get the sentiment
spare isle
this is why we dont call shounen a genreeeee
shadow knot
real
wheat aspen
the plot was more or less exactly how i predicted it to be ||save for the guy being decapicated midway|| up till where i watched

no because j never got that far 💀💀
topaz linden
mamika was literally just a third rate madoka
I liked her for embodying the tropes of her genre, but doing so with actual reasoning/thought behind it.
A lot of magical girls in non-black and white settings either get edgy when they think about their duties/role too much, or stay 'pure' through naive self-delusion/stupidity.
Mamika's character showed she had actually thought about her role and her duties, and in the end still found a way to justify them anyway.
spare isle
did you watch madoka
wheat aspen
i saw the guy made a new society and shit and then went “wow good for him” and found some other show
topaz linden
did you watch madoka
I've watched it, yes. I feel that falls under the first bit ("they get edgy when they think about their role/duties too much")
spare isle
idk what to say if you think mamika was written better when she was basically a straight ripoff
i dont think they were trying to be subtle about it though every character in that show was basically copypasted from something else
shadow knot

Can't really say anything anymore cuz I don't wanna drag off the gurren convo LOL
like I could because it's one of my fav anime of all times but you'd probably get bored so lets move on 💀
spare isle
like mr i have a gun was very clearly a fate/zero character
they were all kinda generic but that was the point i guess
topaz linden
Im not saying Mamika did edgy/"madoka" better, that's not what she was going for.
I like her because she kept the pure heart and optimistic outlook in a bleak world without dumbing/deluding herself down like some shows do.
(Emphasis on the optimistic outlook lol)
wheat aspen
Can't really say anything anymore cuz I don't wanna drag off the gurren convo LO...
you found an appeal in the show that i didnt
i’m happy for you mate
shadow knot
yea lol..
spare isle
your list does fascinate me tho like bit of a headscratcher
shadow knot
it just hits every strings right for me and the vibe elevates the writing so much
spare isle
just when you put up like two things side by side and then their ratings next to them im just like huh
shadow knot
soundtrack
animation
the comedy/romance/action
wheat aspen
well you’d need to understand that almost everything there was binged in 1-2 days
shadow knot
I often binge my anime too
and watch my anime at night
experiences matters but I don't know what works for people
cuz everyone is different
shadow knot
yep
wheat aspen
anime is an art literally and you can interpret it however you want
individualizing it is what makes it more attracting than other stuff
spare isle
like date a live 8.5 and monmusu 8 when they're trashy harem shows (and the fans know it)
but then so i can't play h, the same thing, a 5
wheat aspen
monster musume had me dying
shadow knot
it's fun poking at anime and often easier than any other medium because if I were to shoot my favourite piece of media it's not even an anime series, it's mostly video games back then
wheat aspen
i was laughing
wheat aspen
and date a live, the premise for what was going on made it very interesting
spare isle
and like black bullet 9.5?
shadow knot
lool
wheat aspen
yeah black bullet was beautiful
spare isle
bruh
topaz linden
People also score with different standards in mind.
Like I try to orient mine around "suggestions", and score from the PoV of "if you were someone that liked this general type of show/premise already".
Which leads to some shows that from a general PoV probably arent that special getting bumped up a bit (ex: a lot of isekai)
spare isle
i just have a rough time seeing toradora with a 5 and black bullet with a 9.5
gettin whiplash from that one
wheat aspen
toradora was really hard for me to watch
topaz linden
Couldnt get into that one personally
wheat aspen
i understand it’s supposed to be the grandfather of tsundefe trope or something
they over did it
shadow knot
taiga is iconic tsundere
spare isle
is your rating like purely based on your enjoyment/experience rather than trying to critically rate the show itself?
shadow knot
but the original one is Asuka from Eva
wheat aspen
is your rating like purely based on your enjoyment/experience rather than trying...
Correct
opinion based
shadow knot
I'm like 80/20
80% more enjoyment and 20% whatever it does that looks pog
but my enjoyment can reflect what it did right
in my eyes
wheat aspen
that’s how it works for me as well
shadow knot
which correlates to the 20%
spare isle
enjoyment is a part of it but guilty pleasures do exist like
shadow knot
so it's weird
spare isle
i can acknowledge a show is bad while enjoying it
if you get me
wont make me give it a 9/10
wheat aspen
that’s exactly how domestic gf was tk me
topaz linden
that’s exactly how domestic gf was tk me
Oh no... not DomeKano
topaz linden
The manga for that (DomeKano) holds a special place in my list for its dumpster fire shitshow of an ending.
wheat aspen
i haven’t read it but my friend was telling me about it at lunch today
spare isle
like i think my rating for gurren lagann is biased a little higher because it was entertaining
topaz linden
i haven’t read it but my friend was telling me about it at lunch today
The gigguk video on it is a cathartic watch and surprisingly accurate/thorough
spare isle
did domekano end? cant remember where i was even up to
i just got tired of reading poorly scanned raws because scanlations were so behind
topaz linden
did domekano end? cant remember where i was even up to
Manga ended, yeah.
Last seven chapters broke the community.
wheat aspen
it’s low for me primarily because i burnt out hundreds of episodes over fairy tail so shounen trope/type animes just can’t fly at all for me

follow me back on AL
spare isle
okeh when im home i dont have my anilist password on my work laptop
shadow knot
yeah my friends hype up DomeKano so much years ago for shits and giggles
when I saw why I was like 
spare isle
i purely read it because i liked rui's design tbh
shadow knot
yeah she's a popular pick for most
spare isle
dude i had to make a collage of every appearance that the older sister made in kimimachi because that manga was a fucking nightmare to get through
it was so damn bad
classic seo kouji making the most infuriating shit possible
i heard fuuka was just as bad if not worse
topaz linden
yeah my friends hype up DomeKano so much years ago for shits and giggles
Imo, the manga actually came really close to redeeming itself somewhat.
The last few arcs were really well done.
...then the ||360 no scope coma strat|| fucked everything up.
shadow knot
LOL yeah
spare isle
need a list of everything that makes ditf look good so i can drop it preemptively
shadow knot
pupa
spare isle
if you want a good ecchi comedy to read you should try out blade play @wheat aspen
spare isle
did domekano's adaptation cover the whole manga?
wheat aspen
Nope
if you’d like i can tell you the manga ending that i heard from a friend
it’d probably piss you off though
spare isle
i could prob finish it off at some point seems it didnt go for too long after i stopped
just 8 volumes
wheat aspen
trust me you don’t want to.
spare isle
if i could finish kimi machi i can finish anything
topaz linden
it’d probably piss you off though
Honestly, it depends on where they stopped. If they stopped before the ||writer arc, there wouldnt really be as many hopes to be crushed lol||
wheat aspen
yeah.. but that’s exactly what they didn’t do

hmmm im more or so wondering which studio will take it over
shadow knot
yep im excited to see the staff lineup
spare isle
imagine kyoani taking it on
shadow knot
some people speculate kyoani
spare isle
pretty rare for them to pick something up that isn't published by them
no idea how some garbage like dragon maid got in there
shadow knot
noble sierra
Kyoani usually does mid to meh shows, it is not a surprise dragon maid is in there honestly
spare isle
It is because it wasn’t at all related to their publishing arm
that’s a pretty weird way to make it seem ok like
Ufotable usually does shows for games they’ve done cutscenes for only why would they do some shitty shounen like demon slayer
noble sierra
Ufotable usually does shows for games they’ve done cutscenes for only why would ...
Because shounens are popular and it ultimately made them a lot of money?
spare isle
So why doesn’t everyone just do them and only them
noble sierra
iirc Slayer's movie was the top grossing movie in Japan when it came out
Even beating Your Name in terms of sales
topaz linden
Because shounens are popular and it ultimately made them a lot of money?
It's also by far the best selling manga, so they would really have to have fucked it up for it to not make them money.
Like seriously. The manga stats are fucking insane.
spare isle
And why did ufo spend so many years not doing them
noble sierra
So why doesn’t everyone just do them and only them
Demon Slayer was right around Ufotable's corner that is the thing, they uplifted the source material in ways only Ufotable managed to do

For reference:
noble sierra
I am not the director of Ufotable, I am just making guesses lol
spare isle
I mean you’re making them as if they’re obvious fact
wheat aspen
Alright guys
I'm here for advice
I need romance that a) doesnt have girl as protag b) isnt shonen c) doesnt have bug eyed characters
noble sierra
I mean you’re making them as if they’re obvious fact
Could be, could be not, the fact still stands that Ufotable scored big time by adapting Demon Slayer 
spare isle
If you dont want bug eyes maybe look for not anime
You could try relife
But it doesn’t end
noble sierra
Relife was extremely butchered though
spare isle
Kinda expected to pick up the manga from where the anime stops
wheat aspen
If you dont want bug eyes maybe look for not anime <:A_WheezeTao:793919527208484...

Hm, a little tricky. Some random recs (in no particular order):
- Saekano (How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend) was decent, tho romance wasn't really the main focus (more of a comedy mixed with Japanese circle culture)
- Dress Up Darling was a pretty wholesome one as far as romance goes (ecchi visuals at times, but the core romance itself is pretty damn wholesome)
- I second chakku's reccomendation of ReLife (tho the manga is the superior version imo, especially since its full color)
- Over the Moon For You (Tonikaku Kawaii) is some nice wholesome drama-free romance. I liked that one a lot.
wheat aspen
See the issue is
I've watched all of those
oh crap i dont think i put saekano on my mal spreadsheet
noble sierra
You could try Dusk Maiden
wheat aspen
Not a fan of horror

Scum's wish is a drama though, barely a romance
wheat aspen
I also found Oresuki really good
topaz linden
Hm, well, its a bit off the beaten path for "recommendations", but Eromanga Sensei's anime is actually a pretty good romance imo. I could recommend that.
The anime barely gives any attention to the controversial side of the show, and the other love rivals are pretty decently written imo (Elf deserved a better show for her character)
wheat aspen
Yeah I'm DEFINITELY no watching eromanga sensei
I've seen some of the screenshots from that show
REALLY sus stuff
noble sierra
I also found Oresuki really good

I've watched a lot of the generic romance already though
So I'm at a loss of which other ones to find
topaz linden
I really don't think it was that sus 😅 I can only think of maybe one or two scenes that were strange, but not really any more than your usual "misunderstanding" shenanigans.
Was fairly tame iirc
noble sierra
So I'm at a loss of which other ones to find
Well, send your mal if you have one and it should be easier to ask for reccs
topaz linden
Yeh, no idea about the manga/LN, but the anime kinda ignores the original premise (to its benefit lol)
shadow knot
Time to check
wheat aspen
topaz linden
Still need to watch the last 3 or so episodes of several of last season's anime before I can add them to my list...
But I'm in the middle of moving
wheat aspen
Makes sense
I add anime to my list before I start watching
If i drop it midway I just highlight it in red
topaz linden
I only add completed ones to mine
Tho it does tend to bias my scores a bit (since its only completed shows)
shadow knot
@wheat aspen have you seen I Want To Eat Your Pancreas

From the completed ones

I really liked it too

creepiest ED I’ve ever heard too
spare isle
Well I wouldn’t call spice and wolf a romance either it doesn’t focus too much on that aspect aside from the occasional flirting
It’s more about poorly written economics theory
shadow knot
the chemistry between the two characters are pretty good
and while I usually shit on dub, their dub is pretty good too
topaz linden
Spice and Wolf hits the same audience as early Ascendance of the Bookworm imo: Worldbuilding enthusiasts that just want to get a feel for what life was like back in those times.
Wouldnt call it a romance either. Like Bookworm, its focus seems to primarily be on worldbuilding for the sake of worldbuilding lol
Bookworm does expand its scope later on, but the early stuff had similar vibes imo
noble sierra
creepiest ED I’ve ever heard too
Let's balance it out with the most soothing ED you will ever hear https://youtu.be/VJPYLl8i4GE
spare isle
The bungou eds are pretty soothing tbh
wheat aspen
It’s more about poorly written economics theory
Is it bad?
spare isle
Can’t beat any aria op or Ed for soothing though
I mean it doesn’t really matter if you don’t care much about economics I don’t think it’s a bad series but it’s not the masterpiece people make it out to be
It’s more like when movies do a poor job of time or space travel
wheat aspen
oh
spare isle
Its usually not going to make it all bad
wheat aspen
your standards are out the roof so i think that's not bad
shadow knot
Let's balance it out with the most soothing ED you will ever hear https://youtu....
I watched this anime it’s decent
Definitely enjoyed more than Lain

Did you by any chance watch Kino's Journey too?

Debatable, Haibane is very solid though I agree
The original Kino's Journey that is

Interesting, I gave that title to Twelve Kingdoms
Too bad it doesn't have an ending though
shadow knot
ye I heard of Twelve Kingdoms too
looks pretty neat and I hear praise for some elitists too even
Now and Then Here and There has an ending tho
only 12-13 eps too

It is really hindered by the production budget but the script, characters and worldbuilding are all superb to say the least
spare isle
I love when discord shits the bed

it's like top charts so I'd say so

But my fav parts of the original were anime original do

Anyway I was saying lerches Kino was more faithful to the source material
interesting
cuz I thought the original was boring af and that was the biggest part of my enjoyment
maybe I'll check out Lerche's adaptation then 
spare isle
Most of the colosseum arc was original
noble sierra
It is very generic but atleast it looks okay
shadow knot
I did peep the colosseum arc in the lerche anime, surprised it was pretty short
spare isle
Yeah it was like half an episode or something
shadow knot
acgt adaptation stretched it to like two eps or sum
my friend hyped up episode 2 so much but to me it just felt like a red pill or blue pill question or sum idk
ex. supposed you helped 3 nice people but afterwards you find out they're traffickers and they're about to kidnap you or smth, what would you do
wheat aspen
kidnap them back
shadow knot
that would've made the episode better
but yeah I didn't like kino's journey as much because maybe the vibe is not for me or the "thought provoking" stuff isn't really thought provoking LOL

Ep1 of arslan senki was so promising it was sad it fell flat after

Hey! Im quite in a pickle rn
So im at naruto shippuden season 2 episode 34 rn and i wanted to know the ACTUAL number of episode.... How do i put this!
I wanna know which episode im on in terms of OVERALL episodes! Example: episode 220 is where shippuden started . So which episode im on right now?
hot notch
It depends whether the website your using resets the episode counter for each season. Also I've seen many different places have seasons start at different places for Naruto (mostly because it's difficult to separate a continuous show into seasons) so unfortunately thats a really hard question to answer.

Yes! The website im using changed the whole name to season3 episode 2 rather then showing the actual episode like episode 246 something like that
Because of that issue i cant figure out which episode is filler or not,lets say i wanted to follow this fillers list, but i cant because i dont know the actual episode number
hot notch
^^^^
From what I've been able to find S1 and S2 are the first two things you should watch. I don't know if you should watch the movie or the OVA first though. I've seen somebody say to watch the movie halfway through ep 11 of S2 but that seems odd to me. I haven't seen the movie so it'd be hard for me to comment on that but based on the cover image it focuses on a character from S2 despite coming out like 3-4 years earlier. From what I remember the OVA is a prequel but the end feeds into the next arc so it's required (sorta, it adapts a story arc as a 40 (iirc) minute OVA). I haven't been able to find someone to definitively state whether you should watch the movie or OVA first so I would research that further. I'll try and watch the movie soon and get a better answer on that. Either way watch S2 first. From what I've heard and seen (I didn't actually finish it since my Funimation trial ran out) "Honor at magic high" is just a retelling of S1 from Miyuki's perspective. I don't think it's required but it is actually in the main story of the original LNs meaning it isn't a spinoff and it introduces some cool characters and fleshes out some of the existing and underappreciated ones.
Hope that helps Domi

Because of that issue i cant figure out which episode is filler or not,lets say ...
This list looks like it only counts Shipuden episodes so where you are overall doesn't really matter. A really easy way to check this would be to add up all the episodes from where this site separates the seasons (for example if S1 has 38 episodes and you're on epside 34 of S2 you've watched 38 + 34 = 72 episodes).
Also I just realized my Nitro running out reset my tag from #0013 to #8721, that's annoying.

Yea if you're you still having a hard time with it just think of it as simple addition. The first seasons episode count it accurate with that list you have so that's easy to figure out. To find what actual episode you are on in season two just add the episode number you are watching in season 2 to the total number of episodes in season 1. You just repeat this process for every season after this by keeping a tally of the total episodes you've watched somewhere (so it might be helpful to keep a note somewhere about the total episodes for each season that you watch).

I mean, she could have held her own pretty well even with competition imo
Show's really well done. Was a nice breath of fresh air compared to the usual romantic comedies.
Probably not #1, mind you. That's 100% lack of competition. But I could see it being in the Top 5 even in a strong season
spare isle
well yeah but there hasn't been a strong season in almost a decade
topaz linden
See that's just the jadedness talking lol
sonic echo
spare isle
really isn't though when's the last time we had a season with more than like 3 good shows (and try not to overrate mid stuff)
admittedly i haven't had my eyes completely peeled for every single one but the fact that they dropped dramatically in quality in 2014/2015/2016 is why i stopped watching anything seasonal in the first place
topaz linden
Spring 2021 comes to mind.
- Odd Taxi
- Vivy
- 86
- Fruit Baskets finale
- Zombieland Saga
- To Your Eternity
- Tokyo Revengers
- Nagatoro (admittingly, I didn't care for this one, but that's personal preference vs anything quality-wise)
all in one season.
spare isle
winter 22 - only decent show dress up doll, fall 21 - i guess 86 idk? summer 21 - sonny boy, spring 21 - again 86? and probably fruits baskets, winter 21 - non non biyori season whatever
and counting sequel seasons is already kinda stretching it like these older shows need to carry the season
if you're really trying to tell me nagatoro is anything but complete garbage idk what to say
fall 20 - jjk? like damn
1 hit out of 20 airing shows
pretty consistently
topaz linden
If 86 was the only thing you got out of Spring 2021 worth watching, that's far more concerning to me 😅
(Also, personally didn't find Nagatoro all that great, but for what its target is/what it was trying to do, I say it did its job fairly well. Just not my preference)
shadow knot
Oddtaxi was the best one in Spring 2021
others can scooch out of here if I gotta be harsh
spare isle
you know the target for nagatoro is like
complete degenerates who should be in prison right
i dont think pandering to them well is a good aspect
LO
shadow knot
kekw
shadow knot
to me Oddtaxi is like
what acca13 could've been for me
or DRRR
in terms of mystery building and connecting everyone to the big puzzle
shadow knot
also down to earth dialogue, oregairu style
not complex
but just fun convos
that felt realer than most anime shit out there
spare isle
i do love me the shows with big worlds and character casts who are all unique though
shadow knot
spare isle
need more stuff out there like drrrr, yozakura quartet, uchouten kazoku, kekkai sensen, etc
spare isle
i think acca 13 kinda fell flat on that front if thats what they were going for
felt like half the cast shown in the op were kinda irrelevant for the most part
spare isle
good vibe and it was chill to me but yeah needed to do more
shadow knot
I just can't really get into it all the time
yep
now anyways
Vivy was great but the last few eps kinda lack lustre
and 86 was consistently mid-decent, and only second cour popped off even tho it was pretty risky in direction
and that's fall 2021 i think?
shadow knot
Didn't care about fruba, binged the whole series and thought the whole series is mid so the finale was like ok at best imo
Zombieland Saga is just there I only know people meme on the truck kun
spare isle
oregairu, aku no hana, valvrave, yuyushiki, majestic prince
shadow knot
that's 2 good picks
I already know of
To Your Eternity only shined for me in Gugu's arc otherwise everything is pretty formulaic and not much
Tokyo Revengers is turn off your brain fun at best
and of course Nagatoro a quite acclaimed pick
spare isle
spring 2012 - hyouka, f/z s2, accel world, kids on a slope, tasogare otome x amnesia, jormungand, shirokuma cafe, space bros, a season of saki

Eh, Power is nice, but she doesnt quite hit the same level as Marin imo.

spare isle
Eh, Power is nice, but she doesnt quite hit the same level as Marin imo.
Power s...
Did you read csm??
topaz linden
Yeh
spare isle
How did you come to that conclusion
Marin is a cookie cutter manic pixie girl and power is actually a unique character
topaz linden
Power does have her moments (especially towards the end), but most of her character doesnt really focus on that. At least from what I remember, her being supportive ||only really comes out/gets expressed when shes protecting MC (forgot his name) from threats||.
It's not really an active part of her character the same way it is for Marin (Marin's always actively finding ways to hype up and support her friends passions and interests. Its one of her biggest character traits)
Labeling her as "manic pixie girl' feels like a severe misreading of her character imo 😅 (to start, she's more of a gyaru/preppy girl than pixie)
spare isle
do you know what the manic pixie girl trope is
topaz linden
Yeh
spare isle
also she may dress like one but she's nothing like gyaru lol
you can basically boil manic pixie dream girl down to eccentric idealization for awkward guy
will carry the conversation and basically be the driving force in anything they do
but that wasn't really my point it was moreso somehow seeing power as being a generic cute girl doing cute things character
she may have her time as a comic relief but she's basically like an animal in a human's body her mannerisms and how she acts are nothing like you can compare with other anime characters
as opposed to say characters in shield hero like raphtalia
who may as well be wearing fake cat ears
because any aspect of her that is non-human is for show
topaz linden
Admittingly, "cute girl doing cute thing" was a bit reductionist, but I meant that there isn't really much depth to her character outside of her fixed set of behaviors.
She reminds me of pretty much every musclehead girl in most fantasy series tbh (a lot of barbarian-type characters act similar). Their lack of intelligence is played for comic relief, and the only real character development they get generally is shifting their view of the MC from "bothersome annoyance" to "part of the pack"/"friend to protect".
spare isle
well yeah csm doesn't have that much depth it relies more on its unique cast of characters particularly in japanese media
topaz linden
Never really felt she was all that special of a character while I was reading it, tho I could see why folks that like that stuff could like her.
spare isle
unfortunately my fav character was killed off early and im def not one of those power #1 people but
i cant think of anyone else in anime who is like her
if you want boneheaded barbarian girl just look at alicetaria from re;creators
wouldnt say shes similar to power
topaz linden
Nah, she's more stubborn noble than anything lol
"Honor" this and "duty" that kinda stuff
spare isle
yeah she's stupid
and one dimensional
it's funny how little things can make kujou sara likeable while alicetaria is not when you can boil them down to the same character
topaz linden
To be fair, her character kinda did have the strongest case for "fuck the writers" with the setting they gave her world 
Hard to convince someone of the good in the world when they've made you live through the needless deaths of thousands
spare isle
i mean shit even saber was a better written version of that
topaz linden
Was just saying in-universe, Alicetaria being as one-dimensional as she was made at least somewhat sense
spare isle
every character in the series was though lmao

Maybe it's the vocals?
Ooh yeah that’s fair, also hard rock and chill rap can go hard 🔥
