The problem with the ending was the moral cowardice to stick to their guns

^ He should have went with Ayase and be done with it, but no, went with the most boring shit.

the show clearly didnt take itself seriously, which sucks, cause it did build a nice character base, and was fun to watch at times. ayase would have been the best choice, but the childhood friend would have been the most interesting, considering the beef between her and the sister. either way would have been so much better, with better drama and a better ending.

If your gonna make a incestous romantic comedy about breaking taboos and social norms then at the very least have the integrity to see the concept through to the end.

exactly like Koi kaze did. thats why i said oreimo didnt take it self seriously. it just wasted all of those good characters it built up.

This is where anime needs more crossovers. Sure, at the end, the Kuroneko character was completely wasted on Oreimo but wouldn’t it be hilarious if she showed up as a new classmate in the next season of Chuunibyou.

lost me at “oreimo” and “good characters”

It has good characters but a shitty resolve.

Most anti-climatic ending since neon genesis.

“Good” is probably not the right word, since “good” can mean a lot of things to different people in regards to characters. For me, many of the characters were written to be entertaining, even if they are pretty stereotypical anime/otaku culture tropes. They may not have been deep or complex characters, but entertaining enough for me to call them “good” in this case.

Oreimo ending:
[spoiler=]I nearly cheered with Minami punched the shit out of Kirino when Kirino was being a complete bitch to her at their final confrontation. Kirino had it a long time coming… especially since Kyosuke constantly lacked the balls to tell his sister to stop being such a bitchy cunt.[/spoiler]

These anime stereotypical tropes have no personality outside of their one quirk, which is the shittiest thing of all. When you watch a show what are the characters you usually see.

The clutz. What does she like? Fuck that shes a clutz
What are her hobbies? Fuck what she is doing she is going to be a clutz at it.
What are her goals? Something to do with being a clutz?
What does she like to talk about? nothing, shes just a clutz
does anything get her mad? nope, clutz
she have any pet peeves? Nah, shes a clutz
any history? probably has something to do with being a clutz

Thats the character. This may have been funny 50 fucking years ago when it was first done therefore brought a new form of comedy. however, its overdone, its an excuse for lazy writers to not try. These characters have absolutley nothing to them outside of ONE shitty joke. thats horrible writing no matter what culture it is or who they are pandering to. How am i supposed to be invested in the comedy if all there is to it is one ongoiing shitty joke? How am i supposed to be invested in the show if i don’t care for the characters? And otaku all over the world where ever they are eat that shit up as long as doujinshi ends up being made for the character. TWGOK by far outclasses any of these shitty ass shows in every aspect, from characterization, to comedy, to overall plot and situations. YYH and HxH also blow all of these shit shows out of the water. I am sure there are more shows that are hard as fuck to find randomly but it just goes to show the taste of these fans. (i’d be happy to take some recommendations.)

Shonen top 10 literally outclasses almost all of these SoL anime, and them shits are made for fucking kids.

My opinion of this season:

SS Tier:
Dangan Ronpa

S Tier:
Hunter x Hunter 2011
Shingeki no Kyojin

A Tier:
Kami nomi zo Shiru Sekai
Mushibugyou
One Piece
Blood Lad

B Tier:
Kamisama no Inai
Gatchaman Crowds
Monogatari (second half)

C Tier:
Railgun
Monogatari (first half)

Naturally, anyone whose opinion differs has a thrillingly exciting, heart-poundingly awesome punishment awaiting them!

I stopped watching Dangan after like the 3 episode, did I fuck up?

Edit: if Slice of Life meant more shows like Kids on the Slope than I would be so down for that shit. Until then, it can fuck off regardless of how much money they spend on some bitches eye reflections…

It was ok, just your average anime tropes in an interesting situation. Worth the watch

It gets better and the ending is amazing but the anime is kind of rushed and ending skipped so watch the ending I linked earlier from the game and DR1 is more amazing when you rewatch it. If you read DR:Zero series then go back to watching DR1 you’re like “oooooohh so that’s why so and so happened.” Same thing happens after reading DR:IF and DR2. Some stuff got leaked from DR3 that completely changes the way you look at the entire story. Plot is really really good. The information that is provided at each point of time and the information that is not provided at each point of time is intentional. Once you get used to the style of the author you start seeing tricks and learning more of the story.

But the game being good isn’t a reason why the anime is good bro…

What was leaked? I only just heard it was announced. In spoiler tags, of course.

So, your trying to convince us your enjoyment of a kids show is because its good and not because you have the emotional intelligence of child?

The hero. What does he like? His friends
What are his hobbies? Becomingstronger
What is his goals? To protect his friends
What does he like to talk about? Nothing, his friends do all the talking
What get him mad? Seeing his friends get hurt
Does he have any pet peeves, yes, one that is used as a running joke.
Any history? Yes, it is dark and sad.

If you think TWGOK is good or funny you have taste cancer. Like seriously? You just complained about how they are generic and the entire point of the show is that girls actually ARE generic trope characters and he is an expert at making them fall in love with him because he has played every visual novel and dating game ever. It would be funny if it was a tongue and cheek, joke show, but they play it dead straight.

I haven’t been watching ANY of those shows, except Railgun, which has been disappointing, too much boring crappy story, not enough schoolgirl antics. But more to the point, people who say they only make moe anime are a bunch of fucking liars and crybabies. And should be tortured.

Anyway
I FINALLY got the Yuru Yuri: Happy go Lily Premium Box set in the mail today. Now THAT is a show. Not sure about the Happy Go Lily part though…

I think he might be talking about the spin off starring Naegi’s sister. To my knowledge, an actual DR3 was only teased at the end of the spin-off’s trailer.

I’ll admit I haven’t watched this new season…maybe I’m just getting less and less hopeful of anime these days because they keep running the same fucking ideas over and over.

I want the innovative masterpieces to start happening again.

TWGOK actually develops their characters beyond just being a dating sim, and this does have consequences later down the line that i won’t spoil, but develops the main character to a new level. It actually gives you reason to be invested, reason to care about the characters, and and actual reason to continue reading.

And about shonen main characters, yea a lot of them are one dimentional as well, but they still have a lot more to them than these slice of life anime released every single season rewriting the same exact story.

Akira Toriyama made Goku likable and gave him some layers to make him an actual character. Not much, but enough to make him feel like an actual person. His backround wasn’t even sad.

Aichi from cardfight vangaurd has more character in his 2 fingers than SoL animes can do if they put themselves together, but they can do that because they are the same exact shows. His backround wasn’t even sad.

Gon from hunter x hunter has been developed throughout the series, like him or not, he actually has more to him too. His background is a mostly happy one

Main character of Kuroko no Baske feels like an actual person

Main character of Magi feels like an actual person

Main character of SnK feels like an actual person

Even that shitty character naruto feels like an actual person

Main character of K-on feels like an on paper trope put into motion

I have no problem with the idea of the slice of life genre at all, but they way the industry treats it horribly (as do most businesses do in the entertainment industry do with anything). they completely crap on it, don’t try, revise the exact same script, and make some money. There are shows in the genre that are good, but those are few and far between.

The worst part about it is characters in slice of life comedy are way more important than they would be in an action show. The characters are supposed to carry the show. If the characters are crappy, what show is there to watch?
