Josuke Higashikata posted:If you get to and finish the final episode before deciding you hate the show, you don't hate the show. There have been shows (including one of my three worst this year, and at least one DM) that I've given the benefit of the doubt. "There's still a plausible explanation for everything that's going on, let's see how they make this work in the last episode". Then, they invariably fail to do so, and I hate the show even more in hindsight. Rokka no Yuusha is also a good example of this. They set up the whole thing, then... Oh we just happened to dig down 20 meters and there was this extra tablet laying around that solves the whole mystery. Sorry for wasting all of your time with characters with imperfect knowledge about magic mechanics and whatnot, but none of that matters in the end- isn't that great? That was last year, though.

Mentat Radnor posted:Dropped into fantasy/game world is a premise even more boring and over-used than the magical high school one I mentioned above, so that's half my aversion right there. That's why I didn't watch Eupho2. I mean, has there ever been a more overused setting than modern characters in the contemporary world? I didn't watch it because I didn't like Eupho1, but it'd be better to say "I don't like fantasy" than to make overarching statements based on the broadest possible perspective of the setting and calling it the premise.

Zwiebel posted:Kumamiko I get your point, and I agree that it wasn't handled well, but I don't think a message of "Maybe some people aren't suited to city life" and "If you find a place where you truly belong, maybe you should stay there" is necessarily out of line. Don't get me wrong, the show was VERY mean, and tried to be doing its damnedest to prove the point that Machi wasn't going to be able to deal with modern city life in the most "comedically" humiliating ways possible. The ending was pretty much unforgivable. Machi's brain goes haywire, and the two adults in Machi's life go on a light-hearted date with one another, 2 minutes after the cousin goes on a big long rant about "The village means everything, and is dying. If I have to sacrifice Machi to save it, then sacrifice her I will" and the adult female was briefly horrified. But, yeah, the village was going to lose one of its only adolescents and the bear was going to lose his only friend, and they all went way over the line trying to prevent such from happening to secure the place that they loved for another generation. I don't think that their excesses were meant to be portrayed as a good thing. The "good end" that I was hoping for was Machi becoming more functional but deciding to stay in the village anyway.

Knorth posted:I don't know how the manga went but I definitely remember everyone having some sort of crush on him by the end in the anime Not really? Of the 6 girls, there are Mutsumi and Narusegawa who are "serious contenders", then Shinobu who's experiencing a sort of crush. Motoko, Su and Mitsune never really figured into any sort of "romantic" (even if you consider Shinobu's crush romantic, while it was played off as entirely unrequited, at least in the anime) plotline.
