Goblin slayer seems like an alt-right wet dream to teach their children about how you can't empathize with others. I feel dirty and gross watching that poo poo.

Goblin Slayer has gone 3 episodes without being gross, I hope it keeps this up.

Man I really wish that the ace attorney anime could skip the next trial, it's so loving terrible and dumb. At least bridge and beginning are really good; iirc beginning doesn't have phoenix in it at all, it's just mia and edgeworth
Don't know what show you're watching, it's still fascist claptrap.

If it's anything like the last one of those I saw, it's strictly self-reporting, they don't go out and poll fans at all. So it's about as accurate as me saying Release the Spyce is the best show on HiDive.

episode 1 had one guy get the other guy drunk, bring him to his apartment and then molests him until he runs away.

then he chases him while saying it only makes it more fun for him, molests him again and forces to other guy to give into his advances. much different

None of that is honest and you typing it up and asking how it compares to girls getting raped and beheaded or whatever by monsters makes me really not want to have this conversation.

dakaichi does lead with sexual assault but i'm gonna bet that it's framed much differently and also the rest of the text isn't riffing on fascist tropes. so it doesn't get off scot-free but also i don't think i've seen anybody even bring it up here except for this disingenuous attempt at drawing a comparison.

Season 3 of Index is such a mess. I have no idea anymore who belongs to what faction, what any of the factions want and why, and how any of the bullshit of the past two episodes ties back to the bullshit of the first three episodes. I barely remember who Move Point is, I have no idea why she's suddenly important, and I genuinely have no idea if I'm supposed to know who Aleister is. The writing in the Index series has never been particularly coherent, but I don't remember the first two seasons being this loving confusing.

On the other hand, the last two episodes didn't have Index or Toma. So that's good.

what do you expect when the eponymous character sucks so much and the protagonist somehow sucks even worse?

Index S3 seems to be covering as much ground as it can so that a ton of chars and fights get animated. It's cool as an outlet of fanservice but if you actually want the intrigue of what's going on here the light novels are way meatier.

It's probably going to slow down from its breakneck pace once the story reaches the arc that everyone wanted animated

Just how many mistakes have you suffered on the way here?

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I don't think it really matters what anyone here is trying to do, honestly. Not in the anime, and not in the novels either. It's just an excuse for a billion characters you've never met to spout one-liners and kill each other.

Although you are supposed to know who Alesteir is: he's the shadowy leader of Academy City, who's also a wizard. He's been mentioned from the very beginning of the series, and basically everything that's ever happened is his fault.

I've only seen Index S1, but Alesteir is the upside-down floaty guy in the tube right?

Also, watching through Railgun before it goes off Crunchy and just starting S. Is there anything in Index S2 I should know before going into S? I found that I would have missed some concepts in Railgun S1 if I hadn't watched Index S1 beforehand.

All gay men are sexual molesters is a wretched loving stereotype and it's insanely dangerous and lovely to even have it in something in tyool 2018.

My SO is a huge fan of the show, which I've found surprising since he isn't into slice of life style stuff but he says it totally isn't slice of life so :v:

anything from index you need to know in railgun is also covered in railgun.

there's nothing to remember, really. new bad guy arrives, bad guy menaces girl, new unimportant side characters appear, touma spends several hours preaching and gushing out enough blood to fill a tanker truck, touma punches out bad guy, girl enters the eternal limbo that is touma's ridiculously outsized harem. repeat ad nauseum.

Sure, that's the easy part, but we just got to the part where Touma disappears entirely and you have to remember who everyone in BLOCK and GROUP and ITEM is.

It has a certain "coming-of-age" feel in how they're trying to make the most out of their situation through their idol'ing, especially since most of them seem to be fairly young. Except... y'know, they're cute zombie girls.
