i dunno if infinit force will grab a wide audience but it totally hits the mark for me. some of the best-looking cg anime has been graced with, writing that is overdone just enough in the right ways, and a vibe like tatsunoko mashed up an otome game with a toku show.

Sold

The finale is mostly about anime original characters and if you don't care for them then you probably won't care about the ending. Also when it first aired the final episode came out months after the rest of the show so I think a lot of people haven't seen it because of that

I thought it was kind of tonally inconsistent in a show where a plotline is resolved by someone getting a boner.

i don't see what is tonally inconsistent about characters created to mirror leo and his sister. the eps didn't suddenly excise doug hummer, zapp, or any of the other sources of random wacky poo poo either. episode 11 is definitely one of the best in the entire series, and that's probably at the point where you will genuinely care about white, whereas before she is only a likable side character. i don't think the manga is some sacred cow that requires we devote all 12 episodes of the anime to adapting its goofy episodic stories, and the black/white stuff basically exists as a second two-parter a la Z's Last Day. all this to say i understand the lovely production delays may have turned people off at the end, but hating the original stuff because its original is dumb.

I tried watching episode 11 again last night and my eyes glazed over just like the last two times. I like White and her relationship with Leonardo but Black sucks and I can't give a poo poo. I also don't know if there being another supernatural brother sister relationship actually adds anything to the show besides another supernatural brother sister relationship. Even if it's thematically called for I think it was presented in a way that was different from even Leonardo's relationship with his sister. That's what I meant by tonally inconsistent

Like I said it all comes down to how you feel about the original characters and it's up to Drothman if he cares enough

If anything it speaks to how good BBB was that people still feel this strongly about it even a year later.

Really? A rough image search brings up these team action shots of what appears to be about ten women and one big guy. I mean I can get down with that if the show is good enough and it's not just for the boys at home to play "find your type". The only reason I brought up gender ratio is because I usually avoid a show if it looks like it has a cast intended for gently caress/Marry/Kill.

I've only read a little bit of the manga but it was my impression that they're all androgynous and nongendered

I don't see why having fewer female characters prevents this.

I want to watch Sailor Moon but the gender ratio means it must be a harem show starting Tuxedo Mask

I somehow missed that Lion S1 was longer than 12 episodes. I just don't know if I can handle such a concentrated dose of The Saddest Boy and Friends.

I enjoyed the show way more watching it weekly than when I would binge it so maybe catch up slowly

Actually, come to think of it, which recent-ish shows have gone completely, hideously sideways after a not-terrible start? I know a lot of goons got mad about Kuma Miko, for one, and Virgin Soul did have the all-consuming Sexy Anime Hitler romance arc.

fate/extra is probably good because my understanding it doesn't change romantic relationships depending on player gender so the sequel has an entire route that's gilgamesh bending the laws of reality so he can have sex with his boyfriend, who is you

Gilgamesh's prophetic dream about Enkidu involved him loving the rock that represented Enkidu

Here's my hot take: Fate is bad because Enkidu is an androgynous bishounen instead of a big burly bear man
