What was the most disappointing anime you have ever watched? For me personally, it was Sailor Moon Crystal. I'm a big Sailor Moon fan and I was pumped for the new series to come out, even though it kept getting delayed I didn't care, I just wanted to feel the magic I felt watching the series for the first time again. But when the show aired in the summer of 2014 i was met with a show with extremely sloppy animation, poor writing and really just an underwhelming vibe to it. It was just such a gut punch to see my favorite show get treated with such a mishandled and mediocre retelling.

Context: they unironically aired Ghost in the Shell, Elfen Lied, Ergo Proxy, Agent Najica and NGE (aka "EVA") in the 2000s here.

I was so confused what Ergo Proxy and NGE were about I dropped them. Took me a while to learn NGE is a deconstruction of mecha genre, while Ergo Proxy is a deconstruction of cyberpunk genre. Cruel irony is, my father accidentally pulled a Gendo tier move on me

I watched Ergo Proxy five years ago and I remember commenting that it had some loose ends — I don’t really remember which ones anymore — but that didn’t take away from the good experience of watching the anime. And wow (in a good way), the opening is phenomenal. It always brings me to tears.

I've watched teasers and trailers and didn't feel like watching the show at all, but the reaction to it does seem excessively and artificially positive.

I watched the live action and it was decent. I mean, it's corny and goofy as fuck, but what else can you expect from One Piece. Apparently the mangaka had some say in the creative direction so they couldn't flip race/gender/sexuality of the characters like you usually expect from Jewflix.

I actually enjoyed the live action a lot and I went in expecting to only like it ironically. I think the performances are kind of cringy but I also don't really know how you'd deliver any of One Piece seriously. The physical sets and props, along with the lighthearted camp feeling ends up coming across as a faithful adaptation despite cutting out a pretty large chunk of the manga.

Buggy was literally perfect.

Anime is dead. The new anime coming out is trash, rewatching old anime gets tiring and some old anime doesn't age well like tominos side projects or gets lost in time.

The otaku identity is now pink and blue tranny rooms on YouTube full of $5000 spent on first result in google anime merch of the latest seasonalslop poser anime like jjk,mha,nagatoro, uzaki-chan,my dress up darling. The "otaku" these days don't even know who is aura battler dunbine or ideon.

Anime and Japan also lost a lot of its "power" so to say in the way of mysticism/ nerd cred. Initially being viewed as a high quality nation with #1 schooling in the world it's now cheap commericial touristwank. The politicians are all now pozzed centrists payed off by the West instead of based hard right wing. The average Japanese teen nowadays prefers McDonald's over sushi. It's truly over.

Anime is popular with children and the poor because it's so easy to access for free.
Even if you got something against "piracy" there is ad supported free stuff, stuff uploaded by the publisher for free, and old dvd as well as the occasional vhs are floating around in most places for almost free.

Cost isn't a prohibiting factor in Anime as a hobby.

Okay I'm gonna reverse my opinion a little here. I assumed the new Ranma anime was shit because it's a Netflix series which usually implies slop but I watched it and it's actually quite good. Visually it's nice, well drawn, pretty colours, good backgrounds, keeps most of the nudity and naught humour. I enjoyed it. Soundtrack is a little bland compared to the older version but otherwise it's good.

It messes with the material to please modern western gender politics to the point of outright censorship.

I don't give the faintest fuck about how pretty the colors are. That is utterly superficial.

My expectations of video game adaptations in general are extremely low.
The number of good ones can be counted on a single hand. Two if you are very lax on defining good. Vast majority take tons of "liberties" to the point it at times doesn't even resemble the source material in a lot of video game adaptations. So it doesn't surprise me that DMC turned out the way it did.

I'm a sucker for the rule of cool so my favorites are Final Wars and those with Mechagodzilla, especially the original one from 1974. On the same note, and despite not being strictly /jp/, I also like Pacific Rim a lot.

vs Mechagodzilla was insane since it was the first Godzilla movie to have blood in it. Also in the sequel it introduced one of the coolest kaiju, who sadly never reappeared in anything ever again. Well, movie wise.

Final Wars was great cause it at least gave a very small cameo to my favorite enemy kaiju, Hedorah.

Anne is described as lively in the novel. For her to possess such an outward enthusiasm from the start is necessary to set her apart from the reserved people of Avonlea to better illustrate her development in to a quite and polite young lady. Remember that in this scene Anne believes she's finally being adopted in to a loving home in a beautiful community, a happiness she's never known before. It's only appropriate that she be ecstatic, even if it makes her appear feral when jumping around while Matthew is stunned and still.

Kawahara lamented, that while TIS and AO and other such titles scattered across his notes now lost to digital enclaves were the works he put more passion into, and whose collective worldviews he admitted were of greater personal interest to him, SAO instead would be the only project to take of, one that eventually would also even garner global recognition! … A fact he just couldn't understand but would nevertheless be obliged to roll with under the duress and blackmailing of editor Miku, now a comfortably rich CEO and a robust family man who profited off the gamble, fattening his pockets, while he -Kawahara- remains yet infinitely busy, lost to labor for mysterious cabals; indeed, it is no surprise the man in his 50s can't write much anymore, even if he wants to.
Yes, for SAO, it was (and still is) an immense success… one so certain in its enormity, that it again would lead to the author's lament, a strangulation, a discomforting palpation that would disease the source novel volume 18 onwards.
This begun following an interview somewhere in the states and elsewhere where questions of why SAO had 'rape, and so much cruelty' 'why can't you give the succubi more agency!?' were brought up, flying left and right, many a prompt of this sort… Kawahara's hands were after this instantly tied, so clearly evident by the response he gave: "these will be fixed.".

There can be no doubt about it: those questions being brought up over such a huge audience created a butterfly effect too strong. Editor Miki would not overlook it. He did not overlook it. Fate for this would would alter.
…And so, the intensity of SAO would thereafter dim, its antagonistic element reduced always to something 'acceptable'. Worse yet, Kirito would now be artificially directed to forever project a family friendly atmosphere at all times… he never again will break past the yoke of 'good' disposition.
Not long after, the time-keeper would throw his watch, and now finally, with SAOP9, SAO has injected homosexual gay characters into its cannon. Leyshren Zed Yofilis head first, Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Goblin Slayer Volume 10. LN. Has its own manga counterpart probably adapting the arc. Written post-anime, around its peak.
Had to stop the JP side, in fact the whole world after overseas examination especially, from conflating blacks -> goblins. This is the appeal to them.
It's not the whole thing, but here's an excerpt from ch1 and ch2 regarding the character in question, Sister grape. Two pics of her as well.

ch1

"Hmm…”
…there was no blaming Goblin Slayer for his low murmur.
This succubus had skin as dark as a well-sunned grape (illustration shows she's just black), and luxurious black hair flowed from under her cap. Add to that her eyes, green as a pair of emeralds, and it was clear this succubus was not from around here. She was human, yes, but humans came in many types. She was most likely one of those people who had wandered up past the southern mountains…

Character's called Sister grape btw. Token blackie for the world.
At a later chapter, this would transpire-

Ch2: ghouls & ghosts

“Eh, seems nothing has actually happened yet,” Sister Grape had admitted with an embarrassed smile. “It just worries a person, having goblins skulking around.”
“I agree,” Goblin Slayer had replied. “I agree completely.”
The problems started after that.
It wasn’t clear who had said it first, or why. But whispers began in town, at the taverns, even in the dark corners of the Guild.
“Think that nun (<- sister grape ) is a goblin’s spawn?” they asked.

damn Im glad I stopped reading and buying GS manga. at first I was angry they stopped to show succubi being raped by goblins and now they put DEI in the story.
For SAO, it was shit season 1 because when asuka had sex with kirito it (SAO) jumped the shark

 No.43052

>>43051
Hey, nice, I'm still up anon, so I'll respond.
I stopped GS for the exact same reason, and I considered it a great loss because the volume just before the DEI one was actually Goblin Slayer at its best. Of course, I quickly stopped caring and just deleted it off my library, since that's the privilege of a market with a thousand other options.
Also, even though SAO might've jumped the shark, the worst thing is-any potential it might've had to become something _better_ after the fact, however slim, was destroyed.
I read the novel. Waste of time. There's a gay shitty character with a sob background exactly as in OP for the 9th work in the prequel spinoff, a completely unnecessary background that retroactively destroyed anything decent this guy might've had and done.

Anyway, that aside, and for something better, there's another manga you can purchase and read ( it's truly good, and genuinely satisfied me ) if you want Goblin Slayer but basically better, fully uncensored. I'll drop a link and name if you're interested.
It's part of the very, very, very limited manga I purchase.
I've ended up so thoroughly selective of what I read now to the point I run hours and days even weeks of examination on the everything to do with X work I'll be reading.

 No.43053

>>43052
Addendum: SAO masturbates Asuna too much as well, pushing her positions of extreme always assured significance, or else her crew of friends, in lieu of 'destroying the image of standard heroines', consequently reducing Kirito to nothing more and outside an instrument who just saves the day as his presence need still somehow be necessary; he's someone whose truly empty outside existing in the framework his archetype permeates. It's sad.
After the first 1/3rd of Alicization, everything that made him potentially human, humane, was destroyed. The friendship with Eugeo was nice, but alas.
Even putting that aside, and the latest volume of progressive, it (the spinoff) feels truly useless after the 3rd book.
I made myself read too much of this for nothing.

Then again, this work seems to have an unusual amount of female fans, the illustrator is drawing gay looking shit, has been doing so since inception, so they're just catering to where the money flows, and I can't bring myself to give a shit for what a female audience is interested in anyway.
