Meh. I agree in general, but I always though Visha's design in the manga didn't match the rest of the cast. Like...way more CLAMPy than everyone else?

All due respect, but you're probably the last person in this thread who should start slinging stones regarding humor on a dumb dead comedy forum.

Seriously, though, imagine the trashy rape/slavery/body horror LN adaptation being your directorial debut. Is this the sort of thing that newbie directors volunteer for, or the sort of thing they get volunteered for?

This man is ruining his career... He should've picked a better debut project for his first role as director. His work as a part of the staff on Kandagawa Jet Girls, Sin: Nanatsu no Taizai, Kabukicho Sherlock and Senran Kagura Shinovi Master gave him such a powerful reputation... and here he goes, just... throwing it all away. Now people will just forget his prestigious earlier career in favor of this trash. Sad.

Eh, near as I can tell, animators get called in for just about everything and anything. Name a famous animator, and they've very likely worked on some shovelware toy-commercial show and/or bizarre late-night porno. It's the directorial roles that really seem to shape reputations.

if you're upset by it wouldnt it make more sense not to talk about it, its a random late night anime barely anyone is talking about it, your life can go back to it not existing. its one thing to go 'this show seems bad' but this thread is like 80% redo of healer discussion.

Uh, no? That's not how humans communicate with each other? You're the one reading weird poo poo into people noticing and commenting on what looks to be something genuinely hosed up. You're the one feeling the need to moralize and whine and insult people for discussing things in a way you don't approve of.

How about take your own advice and just stay the gently caress out of it?

it is valid to complain about people focusing all discussion ever for multiple threads on one anime they've decided to performatively hate, in threads that are meant to be about general discussion of multiple shows where you can discuss things you actually have unique and interesting thoughts on and think are worth knowing about

none of this is even discussion or debate it's just people circularly agreeing show bad for a dozen pages and if anyone complains about how boring that is to read you get mad at them for expressing a thought that isn't show bad

I would prefer people take the discussion of the rape porn anime to its own thread, if they feel the need to uselessly jack off about how they're good people, so that I and possibly other survivors, do not have to see constant discussion of the rape porn anime, when I'm checking to see if they announced an adachi s2 or something.

i'm not even saying that people don't actually dislike the show but it sure becomes performative when it is literally fixated on to the point of excluding any other discussion despite nobody, literally nobody, having any real thoughts to offer that aren't the agreed upon consensus

The discussion was over when you slid in here to whine about it! You brought it back up!

there was literally a discussion about it going on presently at the time of my post

and going 'yo what the hell' is one thing and speculating about how this will definitely destroy the director's career is another.

If people get mad at you for saying "I would prefer we not discuss this because I find it legitimately harmful to my mental well-being" then they're jerks. The solution isn't to be an rear end first.

Or, y'know, don't create the thread at all. I mean, let's be honest: The Goblin Slayer thread was boring and so was the Seal Hero one. We don't need to do a three for three for "mildly controversial but otherwise joyless-rear end shows that come out early in the year". Or something. I don't think that's a category.

Hell, I finally watched GS this year and, honest to god, it was the most boring action fantasy thing I recall seeing recently. Probably more boring than the thread itself. If I ever get to be as bereft of finding entertainment as to consider watching Seal Hero, I just might MST3K it or something, because I bet it's going to be as dull as GS was. I think we had more chuckles with my wife and her cousin doing their (pretty drat decent, all things considered) Yuichiro Umehara "Yes" and "I see" impressions than anything else.

people seemed to at least have stuff to say about GS and SH, i enjoyed reading at least a decent chunk of those threads. as far as i can tell this new show doesn't have anything remarkable about it aside from "gross, rape" so i'm like double confused why people can't just drop it.

I really don't recommend it. You might think you're in for a wild ride after his chocobo becomes his second daughterwife, but that seems to be the point where the author ran out of ideas. It's super dull once the status quo is established. It gets even more boring as it goes on, because it gets more and more focused on big fights with incredibly slow pacing.

I mean, let's be real here, who doesn't want a show about the Seal Hero? Brushes the foulest of magic aside with a lazy wave of a flipper, crushes mighty ogres by awkwardly rolling over them, and will stop at nothing in his quest for the Swordfish of Truth.
