Joshlemagne posted:Okay I just watched the first episode of realist hero. First we get a big exposition dump about how there's a bunch of monsters that want to blow up the world or whatever and the only thing holding them back is this empire, which relies on financial aid from all the countries to sustain this defense (from the world-up-blowing monsters). Then we get a specific scene of one of the empire people being all "Our troops have good morale but it's a good thing all these other countries are giving us financial aid so we can support them, otherwise we would no longer be able to stop the monsters from blowing up the world". Then the entire second half of the episode is all about the main character trying to weasel out of paying the financial aid as though the empire was demanding it through threat of force or something. And his long-term plan is to build up an army for his kingdom, not to help out with the whole keeping out the monsters that want to blow up the world plan, but rather to backstab the empire that is doing that in order to save money. Am I missing something? Is the main character just a complete loving moron? did you actually watch it? He doesn't want to pay, cause the payment is him. He was going to get either send to fight against the monsters and die, or to get dissected and die. He's not weaselling out of the concept of paying, he's not wanting to be the payment. To accomplish this he's going to take the badly managed country and 1. fix their domestic issues first so they can actually pay. 2. build a military so they no longer need to pay and fear an insurrection, which tend to happen in with overtaxed populations. The country had no actual way to keep up payments so after selling his life they were going to go bankrupt and probably be fully taken over by foreign forces moving in to restore order, something which was already heavily implied in the episode to be in the making

honestly haven't been heavy on seasonal watching the past couple years so it's hard to say, but they always felt like a rare thing you'd see maybe once a season dunno if we have any more in store but two is already more than i expected basically. the S2 Euphonium premiere is the first double length to come to my mind, but there have to be some other unremarkable cases like with this season's shows that were just forgotten.

The dead detective show was pretty bad. Decent if unremarkable visuals, but it suffers from the same excessive wordiness as a lot of other middling LN adaptations. All the talking completely drags down the pace, you could easily scrap half of the dialog without losing anything, and none of it is particularly witty or interesting.

Firstly the empire is framed as being absolutely sympathetic by the show itself, including being represented by a lady knight with a cute ribbon who's obviously an important character. The idea that they would take the hero in lieu of a significant cash payment that they need to keep their troops going but then would just murder him or whatever for no benefit is a strange and contrived leap of logic. It makes zero sense with how the show itself has presented the situation. Second, the main character explicitly says he's made the first payment exclusively to buy time and that he doesn't intend to continue making the payments. He's not building the army to stabilize the kingdom and help better support the monster war, he's doing it specifically to tell the empire to gently caress off.

bruh if they were really that noble they wouldn't tax a nation into bankruptcy. i'll admit the empire is presented nicer then my initial impression on a rewatch though! i think the coming events will agree with me on the internal stability for the army thing though, very predictable with the machiavelli focus the anime has. the fact that it put so much emphasis on the book would make the big empire being nice also rather absurd

Edit: Also kind of sick of you constantly implying I didn't watch the episode. I watched the loving episode I just didn't ignore the parts of it that make the main character out to be a short-sighted moron. Double Edit: Now that you bring it up the whole powerful dukes with their own armies makes the whole king abdicating to a rando foreigner that's been in the kingdom all of 30 seconds even more stupid and absurd than it already was. Why the gently caress would they ever go along with that? Joshlemagne fucked around with this message at 18:59 on Jul 6, 2021 |

ensuring the finances, stability, and military strength of the kingdom he lives in seems far-sighted enough to me. the monster conflict is very ambiguous and I wasn't just shitposting when i brought up them being insulated from the frontlines by multiple other countries. monsters seem a lower concern than the issues pressing their kingdom. i do think they specifically highlight the dukes in the intro ep to say they will have their own thoughts on the abdication, even if it hasn't come to a head yet.

Uramichi Oniisan isn't a comedic homerun or anything but Kamiya is always at his most entertaining when he's suffering, and the cast on the show seems to have potential (albeit a bit cliche in terms of what purposes they serve) so I'll probably keep watching it for at least another 2-3 episodes

There's a difference between having a collectable option and a normal release and having the only physical release be sold a collectable.
