Frieren has been really good, my favourite this season.
Apologies if this sounds dumb I'm not an anime expert. I saw this post and checked out Ragna crimson.
Now I overall like it(after 2 episodes) but there a couple things that left me a bit confused.
1 - what's up with the head patting in the first episode and generally this kind of hyper infantilized Leo? I've never met a 12yo that acts like that, I understand this is fiction but what is the point exactly? Should I feel endeared? Because it did the opposite, creeped me the fuck out. Is there a name for this? (so maybe I can avoid it in the future)
2 - the whole discussion about getting more power, I feel it's a recurrent theme in the few anime I watched and I already thought it was cringe when goku was doing it in Dbz.. I would have expected this to be gone after more than 20 years.. Do Japanese people feel... Powerless? Like it's that a thing?
Thank you
I have not watched this week ragna, but if it managed to get 1st, I'm excited to watch it tonight.
Honestly surprised to see Dark Gathering make it up here. I've been enjoying it a lot in spite of the MC, past several episodes went to some dark places and I was all about it.
Backed down until further review:
Sees 5thEw! That discusting anime was on here and had a second season? Thanos should had snapped us..EDIT: Looks like I made enemies.. Oh well...
Hard disagree. It’s damn funny and self aware so I would recommend it to any isekai fans.
*disgusting
It’s damn funny and self aware
That's almost all isekai today, though. Even the most hackneyed isekai authors are starting to realize the genre has been beaten to death so thoroughly that they must throws some new spin on their trite and the standard these days is "isekai but it's self-aware!" Even that has been done countless times already.
What? How is it disgusting? Eminence is fantastic.
This is a biased response as I only bothered the first half of the episode and skipped to the ending of ep20 to drop.
I am a person who doesn't watch anime as I don't have the time nor dedication to. I admit that I have managed to watch harem anime both knowingly and unknowingly, so my anime taste is poor. (Although, I watch them to pass the time, not analyize in any way)
However, from the first half episode, I thought it might be a intresting concept but then turn into 8th grade delusions about being the top.
Forwarded to ep 20/S1, 2 girls seem to be fighting him, and he doesn't break a sweat!
I know most harems are filled with OP Protaginists (Ayato from The Asterisk War [Don't watch] ), but they atleast struggle some way in the first half. This sequence felt boring and plain and I couldn't stand watching this.
Then? He puts a bubble and dissapears.
Throughout this, I never even smiled at any of the scenes, I just was confused (Why change your concept? How did he get strong? Limitations?). I had heard this anime was funny, but was dissapointed. I'd rather watch Princess Connect, a (non-harem) anime that made me belly laugh, or Overlord, a series I never watched, but had heard its similarity in a MAL review after thinking how this was up here.
If you enjoyied this, I won't rain on your parade, but I will never recommend this anime to anyone even with my low standards.
Take care, TesterJ.
While I can understand that the anime some times is too much, as stated it is more of a self aware parody than a "serious" anime.
I can say I enjoyed the second season more, since it had established the premise and had better pacing.
