Why is Gundam wing so Soulful?

>>74179 >skill issue No such thing as a professional anime watcher.
>Wing In my backlog for 10 years... Alternate timeline Gundams (pre 2010) tended to be more seinen-like and interesting despite having younger MCs, it was an improvement compared to UC (someone had to say it).
>>74198 So are you saying you watched it?

He's what Oda thinks Oden is
>>74199 Ironic as all hell he wanted Oden to be as liked as possible and did everything to paint him as such only for people to hate him he even had people in story constantly singing his praise and everyone couldn't care less about him then rocks just comes out of nowhere a much waited for character yes but the amount of love he's been getting is insane

>>73516 Boruto fans do. They defend literally everything, like a random Sasuke tier Gary Stu coming out of nowhere and bending the entire plot around him at the detriment of the main character(once again).
>>73498 It's just so blatantly stupid. Because they're constantly sucking dicks about how it's so deep, but then cannot even understand basic storytelling such as how a character that was retconned in and has existed in the setting for decades having a certain rare but not inexplicable power makes sense, but one who we've followed since the beginning, but who cannot have possibly obtained it through any possible explanation are not the same.

>>73497 >coming up with a hawk summon out of fucking nowhere within the timespan of getting his mangekyo and fighting Danzo with no explanation isn't a plot hole I mean it's pretty simple; find a summoning contract, sign it. Bam, done, it's really not a detail that is important. >we don't know how characters like Danzo himself got his summon Because it's irrelevant. >>73441 >>73429 >>73426 All these posts are 90% making shit up, projecting about stuff that doesn't actually exist. >Naruto was too retarded to figure out a one handed rasengan, or actually move up in the ranks of ninja and learn what it meant to be Hokage in the exact same timeframe. This right here is why Naruto haters are faggots, you're the exact same infantile retards as the edgy fanfiction teenagers you were a decade ago. I'm not claiming Naruto is a masterpiece, but few people actually do, you're just making shit up on the fly. And you're still more retarded than those glazers because despite Naruto never intending to be deep or complicated, you still missed the fucking point of the story and it's themes. Imagine being more of a brainlet than the smooth-brains you mock.

Let's have a Digimon thread. Favorite anime? Favorite manga? Favorite game? Favorite Digimon?
50 posts and 45 images omitted.
It was a strong first episode. I feel like the cliffhanger at the end was only there to show people this isn't going to be an episodic series like Ghost Game. They could have finished the battle with knock-off Garurumon this episode.
>>73709 >What is the most anti-Pokemon Digimon season/anime of all? Probably Frontier (Series 4) since it's the one were the kids become the Digimon
done with EP2 of Beatbreak and I think this is it for me the setting is cool on paper, if a bit of a dead horse at this point, but so far they keep pretending it's not there when it isn't convenient No one knows about Digimon but they can roam around the city totally unorganized, eat the soul out of people, explode a bunch of shit and no one is ever there to see them? If you're going to attempt a more mature and grounded setting you have to follow up on it, you can't just drop it whenever it's convenient. Kinda feels like when Tamers started out with this gritty, ep21-inspired feel of Digimon being dangerous and a lot more animal-like, and that whole card system, and then just tossed all that to the side after 3 or 4 episodes. The Digimon themselves so far have all been furbait except for Gekkomon who however has a bunch of saliva scenes and vores his partner . Also I think I heard Weregarurumon from Wish say "Tomboy Blast" or some shit like that, fucking cringe. The Crunchyroll subs being unable to decide if Digimon use they/them or it/its every other line also isn't helping, and I'm TIRED of the blatant mistranslations.

What do you think of Spy x Family? I'm really enjoying the wholesome moments and I like how Loid isn't some lame simp like most anime protagonists. Yor is very cute and I love all the outfits the author gives her.

>>2116 It feels very normalfaggy, borderline like a westoid larping as a japanese mangaka. Then again I get that feel from fujimoto and anything their assistants are involved in.

How do we feel about Aira x Okarum? Anonymous 10/13/2025 (Mon) 18:54:31 Id: 7c3069 No. 73929 [Reply]
Im an Airafag myself, but come to think of it, i forgot why Aira fell for Okarum in the first place; so i went to rewatch that part: https://youtu.be/vFHxkFwtooo?si=wHs9wELb61qPeLgZ She thinks Okarum is a demon but she likes his human heart. The later would be sweet if not for the fact i think the scene makes too much emphasis in the deamon part. She even reflects on him being a deamon as she leaves instead of his golden heart. To me that moddies things, as if what she likes of him is the "taboo" of mingling with an different species; kinda like the class rep that thinks hes a vampire. Airafag for life tho

>>74068 I really question how, it really feels their entire relationship is built on suspended bridge effect copium. They only ever talk heart to heart whenever they almost fucking died and even then the relationship still has progressed jack squat (they are not technically even a couple yet) despite being into basically season 9 content in the manga by now.
>>74006 >>74024 IMO the problem with shounenshit isn't so much centered around no romance, that's more like a symptom than the illness. The core problem IMO is basically it's a format forced to end on an epic cliffhanger literally every single week, and when chapters last a single fucking scene tops, it really starts to strain the narrative. There's not much any author can do when they are forced to go from epic fight scene to "aura farming" scene back to epic fight scene. It's even worse in the zoomnig era thanks to tiktok rotting everyone's attention span, back in the day jojo part 1-2 or YYH were pretty to the point and didn't have much depth to them yes, but after they hit their stride we could see that was mangaka's inexperience and the format did allow for some depth. But now? Good luck getting any nuggets of depth between fight scenes, and romance is the one thing that always gets sidelined first for more fight scenes.
>>74075 Yeah that too, the anime already showed the musicians fight scene where he has far better chemistry with aira than with momo. And to think of it, this means momo is pretty fucking useless for the plot fights unless said plot bends over backwards to make her powers extremely important to win.

The burnout and fatigue of all the deconstructions and twists and subversion shit is real. Anonymous 10/16/2025 (Thu) 09:55:46 Id: c2a050 No. 73986 [Reply]
I mean, it was cool every once in a while as an edgy teenager in the early 10s but when it seems like every other popular story is just trying to shock you or make you question everything this generation. I'm personally not to the point of pic rel (yet, most likely) but the backlogs of all mediums for me are so long that the instant something tries to be a smartass about how this is not a [anime/manga/game/novel] this is REEL LIEF and how life is shit and unfair I just drop it. I just don't see the point when it seems to be the same few stories every time either. >What if good was le bad so we can get pseuds to praise it for being "a breath of fresh air". >What if MC went through torture porn so we can get the normalfags with shit lives to praise it. >What if MC was a mary sue girl so we can get the foids to praise it. >What if we repackage some shounenshit and remove everything "icky" so all the actual normalfags praise it. >What if we bait and switch an MC, kill them, then swap to someone else, usually by overlapping with one of the above. I know I'm probably not alone in feeling this way so I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts, have any of you hit the same fatigue point?

>>74007 >That's been a meme for centuries in storytelling. You're going to have to be more specific than that. I don't think you get to just handwave away the damage madoka did to the magical girl genre just like that. >Have you read Cutey Honey, where the entire climax of the series is everyone dying (In an attempt to parody Devilman, which was by the same author)? No, and it sounds like the exact same type of tryhard goykuso I'm complaining about, so I have no plans to. >Another classic series where everyone dies in the end is Outlander. And Ideon. You don't have to keep padding my "avoid" list like that anon. >Probably because, outside of torture porn and for laughs in vidya/VN dialogue choices, people don't actually like reading about outright evil characters? Even Drakenguard "justifies" itself on the basis that the world is ending. It's less the evil character thing (light yagami and ainz have huge fanbases mind you) and more the holier than thou tone of LE SUBVERSIVE authors. >Do you remember this obscure piece of Western literature called Les Miserable, where a guy was unjustly sentenced to years of salvery because he stole a piece of bread? A better example would have been monte cristo. >You're complaining about the genre of reverse-harem series for girls? I have read a couple of those, and I agree that they are shit, but that does not make up the "majority" in any way whatsoever. Are you intentionally trying to derail the pointer from the anime that comes from novels based on a nonexistent otome game to outright actually existing otome games? >Okay, what did they actually "remove"? Fanservice mostly, so normalniggers can show it to their Shōwa ojisan parents for approval and not feel "cringe" while doing so. >Would the 1970's manga Lady Snowblood also fall into that category? I legitimately have no clue why the fuck do you keep bringing up ancient literal who shit.

Is it really an example of subversion, or just following the simple fact that people like heroes? >A better example would have been monte cristo. You do realize that you're proving the point that you hate stories tropes that have existed as a part of storytelling, and treating it like it's a "recent" trend. >Are you intentionally trying to derail the pointer from the anime that comes from novels based on a nonexistent otome game to outright actually existing otome games? Could you rephrase the question? >Fanservice mostly First, not every single anime "has" to have fan service. Second, how can you "remove" something that the original series didn't have? The only recent series that I know of that went out of it's way to outright censor fanservice that the original had is the Bocchi The Rock anime and the Urusei Yatsura remake. >bringing up ancient literal who shit. It's the manga and film that inspired Kill Bill. You REALLY must be a newfag or a casual to not know about this shit and be angry when people bring them up.
>>74025 QRD? First time I hear of this.

Discussing it with halfchan /a/ while it was airing was peak enjoyment.
>>60656 It was absolutely hilarious. I think it was really the last time we had an anime that had such fun threads.
