i'm sure you already know and hate the answer to this question

I'm having memories of Negima now and I'm not certain I like where this is heading

I want you to think really, really hard about this man's output, creatively, and then ask that question again.

i was hoping someone would give me a different answer than the protection of his god given right to draw sexy middle schoolers


i'm not sure i really understand this. his stated protection is some kind of slippery slope protection, against uh, hm, "discriminatory expressions"

is he protecting the right to be racist or some poo poo?

i'm not sure if that's relieving or even more concerning

I'll be honest I do think there was more to SAO's success than "people understood the basic concept of the story"

That's not a high bar to clear really

Yes they're called fascists also maybe the kind of thing that shouldn't be spoiled in a non-AoT thread

I would like exactly 1 more hint as to why people are having the reaction they do to this manga before I consider reading it myself

i can't believe someone would mention "effectively engages with audience expectations" as a positive for a story

the concept that someone might enjoy a plot twist for catching them off guard or be disappointed that a plot "twist" did not do so effectively is anathema to media discussion
