Honestly it's a rough tossup between creepy fanservice shows and shows that pander to right wing otakus with terrible nationalist stuff

Wark Say posted:I know it's silly to enjoy the work of a voice actor to that extent, but goddamn does he make his efforts to be entertaining. Battle Tendency was basically my favorite anime in 2013 in great part thanks to him and, while Unshou Ishizuka is doing a great job as Old Joseph in Stardust Crusaders, I still think Sugita completely owned that character. It's perfectly fine to enjoy Sugita. There is no such thing as enjoying Sugita antics too much. He's just such a great dude and has the best voices

Edward IV posted:I know this is an old post but I've been slowly going through this thread for the pure As a Korean I can confirm this anime has caused people to write crap ton of poo poo. Hell there's like really long page compiling why this show is crap, why it's nationalistic and why it's terrible. Some are amused by the terribleness of the anime and others (majority) loving loathe it and despise it

I wish I lived your world mate. I guess it requires a certain event in the LN I've heard about to be shown in the anime to actually convince you of the nationalistic aspects

Edward IV posted:Yeah, like that gives you the moral high ground. And explains quite a bit. Either that or you're a very elaborate troll. Don't forget Unit 731 as well. Like the past history between Japan and China would make this anime insensitive at the least and loving nationalistic and xenophobic at the worst. I still don't get how someone doesn't see this as insensitive

Serious Frolicking posted:The show says that the chinese are bad guys, so obviously that is true. Interpreting a work of fiction further than repeating the lines verbatim just means you are trying too hard. Truly we are the tryhards. Also for a moment I thought you were being serious there. Poe's law makes things difficult. Edward IV posted:Are they (at least the non-Japanese viewers) even aware of the thinly veiled nationalism and anti-Chinese rhetoric? Not that it matters because either answer would just piss me off and lower my faith in humanity in general. Well at least in Korea this show is pretty much shunned and only the foolishly drunk and mad write reviews about each episode where you see their sanity slipping more and more through each review.

Ytlaya posted:You're not exactly in a position to make fun of other people in this thread. You never did address the "it's hosed up for Japan to write fiction with China as an evil antagonist given the history between the two countries" point. A Chinese American poster even said "yeah, it's really insensitive/disrespectful." How exactly is it different from the "German protagonists fighting Jewish antagonists" comparison I made? Like I mentioned, the existence of (in the analogy) German Jew sympathizers doesn't exactly make things better. It doesn't seem to matter who tells him what really. I'm a Korean dude who just said this is hosed up and it doesn't seem to matter. It's us that is overreacting and looking too deep into it

WickedHate posted:I watched Oreimo too and I guess I feel like you do with Mahouka. It wasn't really interesting and had dull plots and characters. Mahouka does those things a lot better. Better in what way?

WickedHate posted:Better depth and motivation, a more engaging story that feels more real then the story in Oreimo, and a better idea of what it wants to be and do. seriously dude where the hell are you getting the depth and engaging part from this show? How is this even physically possible to be engaging?

Desuwa posted:Funny, Mahouka is one of the few anime that's been panned everywhere I've seen it discussed, not just here. Even /a/, which is usually tolerant of incest garbage, seems to lack anything good to say about it. There's even a good parody involving Tatsuya explaining how money works to a cashier kicking around. I should probably go back and look for it, I think it deserves to be posted here. Seriously I have seen it criticized in /a/, reddit and other places. Hell /a/ seems to lose its poo poo every time a new episode is out due to how loving terrible each episode seems to get

korrandark posted:Except in Japan. Which is all that really matters. No one in this thread has spent a penny on any of the light novels, manga, or the anime. His Japanese readers have been buying his stuff in droves for years, why would he change anything if his stuff is insanely popular? Amusingly I've seen translated posts of 2ch going. "wait this poo poo is popular why?" and "okay someone explain why the hell this was even popular" so even people there are baffled. I honestly think the sales of this show won't be that great.

There's one way for OP characters to work and that's Saitama in One Punch Man. Sadly this anime does exactly the opposite of it.
