I really need to stop making videos about old anime, it looks so bad when you stretch a 4:3 clip out to 16:9. And yes Yugioh is old, you're old.

    Your opinion on To Your Eternity is pretty disappointing as it was one of the first anime I watched after not watching anime for like two months and I fell in love immediately. It made me cry a lot. I’m one of the few weirdos who watched the first episode of Oshi no Ko and couldn’t watch the rest. I know it’s good I just don’t feel like I can get into it.

      I totally agree, I was shocked at his opinions too. I watched the anime with my friend and from beginning to end it felt like movie you couldn’t look away from. We cried every episode witnessing the characters we came to love die one by one in heartbreaking ways. That anime definitely wasn’t an example of first episode syndrome

    I think you might enjoy Shoushimin, it just aired this summer and it's probably my favorite anime of that season. It does have that slow abstract built up vibe. Like I personally I kept watching it because just enjoyed the slice of life parts of it I wasn't expecting it to ever build up to anything, which made it all the more surprising to me when it happened.

    Zom100 disappointed me SO bad I just stopped watching it. How could they just... make it a typical anime afterwards? I guess I was expecting something more though IDEK what I was expecting... School Live is the only show that I actually enjoyed in this list up until the end. I do love how they did episode 1 since it was very attention grabbing and easy to recommend to others but I've also wondered if it was much better to follow the manga pacing. In the end, it was fun and decent for me. To Your Eternity was... yeah. It was okay but def not ep 1. It's a decent show and has fun ideas and I watched it until S2 but it was probs not for me haha.

    Oshi No Ko’s first episode was insanely off compared to everything else we got going forward. I thought the rest of the series would follow Aqua and his father in a battle of wits to see which of them could snuff out the other first. What we got instead was good, but not nearly as amazing as I think that-a somewhat successor to Death Note in a way, could have been.

    I never see anime youtubers referencing the seasonal anime i watch all the time, and you showed a lot of clips of my favorite ones, so cool. I really think To Your Eternity had an AWESOME first episode, and it makes sense to wait for something similar after watching it, but i really recommend watching the rest because, same as oshi no ko, it leaves that original plot to go into other great things, maybe the little kid wanting to be a momma wasn't the best, but im sure you'll love Gugu's arc.

    Sigh... I loved SCHOOL-LIVE! but not many people have seen it and my friends trash it a lot.. I remember having this weird phase when watching it (I was like 12 or something) about watching a ton of horror shows so when I saw it I was watching it like "when is the scary part happening?" still ended up shocking me nonetheless but I was still like "Ohhhhhh" at the same time. Maybe it wasn't as good as I made it out to be in my head but I still love it though.

    Just saying for School Live I say it does get better later. It is another case where details were left out of the anime. Including one very major reveal *Spoiler* She is not delusional. It was an act she put on to give a sense of normalcy to her friends. I think it is great as one of the best examples of The Heart I have seen. Not only did she resist the stress of the apocalypse but she also managed to not break character all that time. functioning as the glue that kept their group together.

    I think first episode syndrome doesn't really apply to shonens, cus a big budget shonen doesn't need to have some sort of peak first episode most of the time, like jjk's first episdoe is good, but it's not that good, and jojo's first episode is pretty mid, but these are big shonens, so they still have massive following and are watched. I think first episdoe syndrome are mainly for like other things, like oshi no ko had a bannger first episode, I'd say Re:Zero also had a banger first episdoe, and for shows like that ye

    I feel like manga really has this more, anyone who is familia with manga will know the first chapter is usually like 2x as long as all the others and usually much more packed with action. With some, the first chapter serves as a brilliant way to introduce the main themes and the story, with others it starts amazingly but then ever other chapter is just nothing in comparison.

    I feel like the First Episode Syndrome definitely applies to the Uzumaki anime. Something must've happened during production because the director changed for the last 3 episodes, major drop in quality fron episodes 1 to 2, and even if the animation slightly improved in episodes 3 and 4, episode 1 was peak.

    • @PointyBoi

    school live's manga was peak. i was so disappointed with how they butchered the anime beyond the first episode. entire plot points were ignored and random things like the dog being a main character were added. it sucks because school live is one of my absolute favorites if not favorite manga.

    • @phantom-ri2tg
      @phantom-ri2tg 18 годин тому

      Yay someone else says it. It is so disappointing they left out the reveal (midway through the anime plot) on the protagonist in the anime. The protagonist is a rare good example of someone playing The Heart. *Manga spoilers on reveal* The protagonist is revealed to not be delusional. The heart is a person who stands unyielding against stress for the sake of others. and it is annoying they instead left the protagonist portrayed as someone to be pitied on a story that explored carrying the burden of stress.

    Still can’t get over Oshi no ko being the phenomenon it was when that first episode drop. Spoilers: I put this on my momma but I swear the only reason it was at all famous. Was because mom died. People act like that made it the most sad thing ever. Like yeah it is, but there has been HUNDREDS of animes where mom dies in the first episode. One of them being attack on titan. And that too was famous for mom dying opening scene. It’s soo cheap to have a mom die in the first few episodes. Because it’s easy to make that sad. Also the whole reincarnation thing is not unique either. Isekais are everywhere. I won’t lie, it is sorta interesting the way they do it here. But other than that, it only popped off cuz mom dies.

  • @FoodForRot
    @FoodForRot 23 години тому

    Ok I thought I was the only one to feel that way about To Your Eternity man. But yeah, it gets so so so much worse imo.. like I think I would have rather it ended at episode one. I watched until part way into the second season, and the reason I couldn't go on anymore was that the show was actively upsetting me at that point. It did get worse as time went on .. but then the ending of the first into the second season completely ruined it for me. Spoilers somewhat below but like In short, they made a pedo women's bloodline a primary focus in the second season, and how they wanted to be with Fushi due to some gosh darn religion or smth .. and made it a point to highlight how straight everyone was. There was a whole story branch about a guy who was in love with a man, but actually they were a women the whole time !! And other characters make it a point to say "aw this would be so much more appealing if the person was the opposite sex !!" Like.. I'm ok with people in fiction being cishet and cool beans and all of that, but the amount of highlight was actually bothersome .. it took away from what may have been going on .. and then I had to deal with the whole driving beat of this season heavily involving someone who tried to get with Fushi before he was even an "adult" .. her bloodline generations to come stalking him to be with him. And even there, I just found Fushi so much harder to be around, I found him annoying. The first episode was incredible, but as it went on I have a hard time thinking of the series positively at all anymore. It sucks, I wish I could have liked it. I don't wanna complain about it like this .. like I tried to show it to my friends & family just to never wanna see it again, ever.

    For me, the one i felt the most like this was sasaki and peeps. The first episode felt like it had the potential to be the beginning of one of the best shows I ever watched. It never lived up to this though. I got to the 11th episode on this one somehow (progressively skipping more and more dialogue). I think the only reason I got this far was because the whole season was already released when I got to it. I only got to like episode 6 of zom100, and that was like objectively a better show. Personally, i think i liked the first episode of sasaki and peeps more than zom100 because: i like the chill vibes more for some reason, and it wasn't so hyped, so it was a total surprise that I didn't expect at all (i guess there was a reason). I also really regret not reading the summary, because I probably would have dropped after like episode 4 if I read the summary first. If you havent watched this yet, Id recommend watching like the first two episodes, and no more, just to see how much this show falls off after the first episode. I feel like it probably takes some talent to fall off this hard. I guess I am still kind of salty that I wasted as much time as I did on this anime 🤷‍♂️
