different times, different mentalities - they can't replicate the good parts properly because there is a disconnect to aspects of life reflected in the original, that cannot just be aesthetically copied over.

What the fuck even is the point of harem series? Aren't most of them just romance but with an even greater chance of blueballing you?
Yeah, it SEEMS like pure wish fulfillment, but it isn't even good at that because in most shows there's only relentless teasing instead of any actual romance and the MC only ends up with one of the candidates anyway.
The only explanation I can come up with is that it's just a way to increase the appeal (and thus commercial potential) of a standard romance series by cramming it with different archetypes. Either that or anime fans just love getting teased with no real guarantee of a reward, which would explain a lot, actually.
(Also) This thread is for all the harem anime, manga, light novels/virtual novels etc. Post your Favorite Anime, Favorite Scenes, What you like about them, memes, discussion, lewds and anything in between.

A plain SoL Harem is usually boring unless you spice it up with something; devils, monsters, aliens, alien-devil monsters, world-ending disasters, magic settings, sci-fi settings etc.
From a clinical and cynical point of view it's a Power Fantasy pure an simple - the guy gets the girls and becomes the hero.
However if written well it becomes an opporutnity for worldbuilding and action along with fan-service and romcom plots, which is a fun bit of escapism as long as you're not being a retard about it.

foxgirls, and you ought to see the anime. It's moeshit, yes, but it has enough restraint in the hijinx not to go full retard like Dragon Maid does. Also it's not quite out of nowhere. It is implied in the anime and stated in the original source that he's a reincarnation of someone the foxes are attached to. Moreover it actually has a subtle social commentary of the shittiness of Japanese bachelor life and work life. Finally it's shorter and so doesn't overstay its welcome.

Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I think that los Niños Héroes could be a good story for an adaptation in terms of Mexican 'anime' as it resembles similar stories in the USSR regarding Soviet youths and cadets fighting against the German invasion to their last breath. A somber but potentially interesting story.

Senko-san works as a single or maybe 2 season anime with some rom-com elements, not for long-form unless a proper, overarching plot is given.

Well that was bad. Wasted potential as it's usual with many shows.

Most baffling parts were the deuteragonist working the big rich mafia guy that pits the poor to kill each other as a sport among other things and the "if you kill him you'll be as bad as him" at the end. Then there's the convenient powers the main couple exhibit to solve the big issue at the end.

Trigger hasn't been good since it was called Gainax, huh.

Just finished this show and it has become one of my favorites. On the surface this anime appears to be trash anime packed full of fan service, but on watching it the so called "trash anime" is brimming with substance. excellent character design, badass soundtrack, and one of the satisfying endings I have seen in a long time. This show can make a scene of a butt naked woman running around killing enemy's with nothing but her toe nail feel empowering and not at all exploitative and fan servicey. What are your guys opinion on the show?

I don't think "earned individuality" is even the core theme of Gurren Lagann; my point is that "stealing robots = seizing the means of production" has little basis, especially when the actual show gives you a million hints as to what that element symbolizes.
>>16339
you can't with a straight face imply this stuff isn't widespread in online leftist circles, especially when people in this very thread say that nerds "missed the point" of Kill la Kill re: fanservice, compare said fanservice to American History X's portrayal of nazism & claim "you're supposed to feel bad for wanting hypersexualization of women in anime". are those supposed to be /pol/ falseflags?

I'm gonna be honest, I remember when this show was praised by leftypol years back and all sorts of analyses were made about how it's leftist and whatever. I never got that vibe, it just felt like the story was just a generic imitation of Yuri-Action anime from decades before as an excuse to show off skin. The animation style wasn't my thing either. People love to mock the fight of Pain vs the Nine Tails, yet a lot of the fights in Kill la Kill are literally the same kind of animation, except with some seizure inducing colors flashing.

It was always weird to me that both of these exist and are so different in every way.
I think you would find nobody that prefers the first one over Ultimate.
But for me Hellsing was always great in alot of unique ways the main problem it has is story.
If you only watch Hellsing you will have no idea what the fuck is even going on for some odd reason they dont explain the most basic principles.

Hellsings Seras will always have a special place in my heart

How about just Hellsing Abridged?

But as a side note I like how shows like FMA and Hellsing had their own interpretations before the official manga releases came out. I wish they did that for shows today, rather than keep breakneck update schedules to keep the anime from catching up to the manga. Instead we get fillers, and unlike in the past where fillers could be fun and nuanced by letting the anime writers use their creativity outside the main plot, current fillers are usually boring garbage. Ironically Boruto fillers are largely less egregious than the majority of the manga-based plot episodes.

HxH feels too much like a video-game later on in the series and it jumps the shark a bit too much for my taste.
Shonen is fun but it's hard to do a good shonen that isn't low-brow schlock, and in general the genre gets a bad rep from pseudo-intellectual retards.

 No.24308

>>7613
Although I don't like HxH for several aspects, its still a series from the Big Three generation, and anime/manga of that era tended to give more detail and explanation and complexity to their lore and fighting; Naruto, Bleach and One Piece have a ton of such examples. The fact that Quirks in BnHA are waved aside sa genetic mutations means it rarely happens and often doesn't make sense from a biological perspective; like Bakugou's ability to produce nitroglycerin because of his mom's quirk evolving into his makes sense and has explanation that could feasibly make sense, but how the fuck do we get characters like Cementoss? The man is a living block of cement FFS.

No it is not. It is a goddamn fact that kids and most people are not active sadists in such a manner and that its a shitty fucking edgelord scene that has no pretext of happening.

Because you have no argument, "muh not reel!" is not a fucking argument. Human beings don't suddenly become psychopaths in an orphanage, and a setting fictional or not needs to have internal consistency, otherwise its just poor writing.

You're bringing up random fucking nonsense.

No wonder you like this show, it appeals to the terrible or rather lack of taste you have.

I never watched this anime past the first episodes because it wasn't my thing, although I've gone back and seen various parts of it over time. I do recall the AMVs for Elfen Lied though, they were hardcore.
