Consuming the BLEACH anime is worst way to consume BLEACH. If you ever get time, read BLEACH. From the comments of Kubo and it's drawing style it is fair to assume that it's essence can only be felt through manga.
10:55 I don't want to talk trash to Naruto & bleach (I still enjoy them) but, "Nostalgia carrying hard" Only applies to shows in Big 3 which are completed. Cuz if something like latest chapters of One Piece are making bigger waves in fandom than ever before, where's "nostalgia" part in it?
> People disliked the ending because that wasn't what they wanted > People liked the ending because they don't want to see flaws in their favorite series. I am honestly so sick of both arguments
0:45 despite demon lord being defeated they could have taken the story in a far more interesting direction and started out the tournament part earlier but this comes down to how the manga is written. One issue with frieren is how it showcase too much of the past, where it would have been better if it was refered through dialogue rather showcasing the scenes (creates mystery). Just compare it to Rurouni kenshin which is kinda a "beyond journey's end" it did it far better by keeping the past limited in what we know + Rurouni kenshin was more balanced around the slice of life moments and action without being too stale which is why frieren feels like an slog especially when some of the cast feels so nonchalant and bland. That dragon fight lasted only a min or so before it was over which isn't actually much action.
On HxH: the last arc was quite boring to me, especially since it came right after the Chimera Ant arc. I saw myself engage with it only when previous characters and our main characters were involved. The subplot of Nanika and Killua and trying to bring back Gon was the highlight of that arc for me. The whole political stuff with Ging did NOT interest me at all. On another note, I also seem to be the only one that genuinely enjoyed the Greed Island arc...
agreeing with you on remakes. them existing isn’t inherently bad. and i don’t think we are even close to the point where they’re overstaying their welcome. most are welcome and honestly needed. i wouldn’t even have known urusei yatsura was a thing if not for the remake. one piece literally is begging for it. i’m glad we are getting remakes.
I like both slice of life/romance and shonen fights and tounaments, frieren has all of that and does it masterfully. Stark and farn's disagreemenrs and argumenrs being relatively small scale really shows the intricacies of each character and its so fun to watch.
On FMAB: The caricature jokes in the first few eps were so jarring, inappropriately timed and seemed to be at war with the tone and significance of each plot point they established as the episodes went by. It was almost like for every potentially serious plot bit they put down there was one caricature joke or offhanded remark by the characters to push it to the corner and gloss over quickly. As a result the first 10 episodes or so felt hella rushed and weirdly trivial even though they had no reason to be. At the time, I didn't understand the logic behind such a move until I learnt that FMAB was partly a successor of sorts to an already established yet different story (FMA 2003), and that they both had similar plot foundations, which the director(s) of the anime probably assumed the audience would already know before watching FMAB. All in all, if I were to learn someone had dropped the anime during those first few episodes, I wouldn't even judge them.
I disagree with the anime vs manga at its best, the art in berserk/vagabond will never be able to be produced at the same level in an animation, and in my opinion berserk tops any anime at its best.
I agree with the AOT one because I signed up to see humans fighting Titans, to see them reclaim their world that was taken by them by the Titans, a Davids vs Golaiths story, not some political anime where Erin becomes the big bad because for some reason attack titan's share memories and now wants to wipe out 80% of the human race.
I thought that at first too but that would have been the same sh*t over and over again considering we already saw full war in s3 p2. Season 4 had the best twist and turns and over all made the story even more deeper and well written
@@JustAsh001 based, i guess people like this person don't like a well executed escalation and much more deeper and broader and complex story, just keep it simple and thin
@@Vaibhavgangwar2mm yeah if I wanted a simple story there are thousands of em every where. Story like aot is very rare. Not only very deep and complex yet very interesting every part was also incredibly entertaining
I think it's a good show to watch, the writing is very good , it's not the best at all but I liked it, The only problem I had with this show was the mc's power level never really grows in the entire show, they keep using the same powers without even upgrading and suddenly in the end he overpowers the antagonist.... Btw Roy Mustang vs envy is one of my favorites till date.
@@debasishroy3495 I don't think that's the problem if mc powers didn't grow much through the entire run overall fmab is much consistent to me throughout it's entire run but it definitely don't deserve the title of being best anime of all time
Nah man, FMAB literally had everything I could've ever wanted in a shonen, its one of the shows that absolutely lived up to the hype for me which is rare.
It's rated too highly because it's actually that good. It doesn't overstay it's welcome and stretches itself too thin and does everything better than literally any other shonen series you can think of in under 100 episodes. It's perfectly fine if you don't like it (every show has haters afterall) but instead of throwing shade and call it overrated, try to explore why exactly it's as good as people say.
Frieren is such a weird show for me. I dropped it about 6 or 7 episodes in, and I don't really know why. It's not the slow pacing, I've liked many shows with slow pacing and am a fan of the slice of life genre in general, known for it's slow, relaxed pace. It's not that I don't understand the themes of the show either, it's not very hard to see the meaning in the show and it's importance. I think one of the reasons is because of the character interactions, it kinda feels like a bunch of emotionless robots got together and started talking to each other. They all just have this facial expression of :| most of the time, and I don't derive any enjoyment from most of their interactions. However, I don't really know if that's the reason I don't like it. Whatever the case, Frieren just aint it for me :/
I disagree on your take with shounen ending. Many shounen have satisfactory ending that despite some initial backlash, will eventually get accepted like Bleach, Naruto, Yu yu yakusho, Dragon Ball, Fire force, Mashle, Nisekoi,.... However there are shounen with objectively bad ending mainly because the author forgot the main setup of his show, like MHA, JJK (mixed feeling on this), Hitman Reborn, Negima... Attack on Titan is a special case because Isayama knew he wrote himself into a corner with Eren which led him to introduce a shitty plot twist at the end and scrap the natural conclusion of his story just to turn his work into a franchise in the most insulting way. My point is that, the majority of the fan can pretty much agree on the main point of a show and the author has the OBLIGATION to know it.
@@申月営無営月無営有申even if its not remake (which I already know it won't be) but there are still more anime project for bleach even beside the recent 20th anniversary project.
I think that when it comes to bleach it is better to read the manga, because the author has stated that he dislikes the anime and it failed, in some parts to capture his poetic style. It would take a long time thou😂. Awesome video.
I love ymir as a character.. I believe most people didn't get her character in the end..Let me explain.. Why did ymir go back to King Fritz after acquiring the Titan:- We have two perspectives on ymir from other characters,Eren and Armin.. They both come to different conclusions about her.. Eren tells us that she was in love with king Fritz.. this is what Eren thinks of her.. and Armin tells us that Ymir is seeking a connection.. That's why the Paths exist and every Subject of Ymir which are descendents of Ymir is connected by the Paths.. It's because Ymir was lonely her whole life and was seeking a genuine connection..That's why even when she got the biggest power in the world, she still went to the King that had sent dogs to kill her.. In my opinion Ymir has been lonely her whole life.. Historia's sister says about Ymir that she was a kind soul and always wanted to help others.. In the village before it was ravaged by king Fritz Ymir is shown to be helping others.. There is a scene of her looking at a wedding with a sense of wanting..For Ymir being lonely is the worst thing that could happen to her even if she has the power to destroy the world,She doesn't know what to do with that power..That's why she went back to the King that tried to kill her by feeding her to the dogs.. She literally can't think for herself.. She needs someone to be by her even if that person is a horrible human being.. I don't think she loves her like you see other characters love each other in a story or in real life.. She doesn't even know what a healthy relationship looks like.. Her going back to King Fritz is not because she had a girly crush on that king or something like that.. She is just there because of her fears.. I have seen so many abusive relationships and marriages like that in real life.. Like a person clearly doesn't like being in a relationship.. they know it's an abusive relationship and they are not happy being with their partner but they don't leave because it's more scary for them to leave their partners and to start fresh than let things be as they have always been.. and it's a sad thing to see but that's the reality.. Ymir to me is a child who is so scared to be alone and who can't think for herself that she thinks it's better for her to let king Fritz use her than to be left alone by everyone.. That's why the Paths exist and every Eldian is connected to her..That's why even after the King died she kept following his orders for 2000 years.. She knows king Fritz doesn't give a shot about her and she still lets him use her powers.. Ymir is such a great character..You have to really think about her character to appreciate her.. People are dumb..they are just ready to call something poorly written rather than use their brains and try to understand why certain things are there in a story.. I disagree with the take she is just a plot device..
Friren is boring in my opinion I understand the concept but it has no development as a show and it just feels like a bunch of filler. “Oh u don’t get the meaning of it” I get the meaning but still it could be less boring. I’m not saying it has to have action, but that Charcters just feel so plain r basic. One time I went on Reddit to ask if it got better because I wasn’t enjoying it and everybody just said “oh u don’t get it if u didn’t like epsiode 1 don’t continue” and i didn’t but like I thought they’d atleast want me to try like and I though the show would get interesting not neesacrly wild but the Charcters maybe would get more interesting, but they were still boring.-my opinion feel free to Disagree because your is valid too.
Those kind of fanbase is the most annoying one thinking they're so special for "diving deep into human psyche" and all the artsy fartsy term they came up with when the show was just showing two emotionless girls picking up flowers in the backyard.
My biggest problem with ending (besides the fact that characters worked together too well for people who not so long ago hated each other) is Isayama's strange love move. Like what's the point of Ymir loving the one who abused her? We already got "Ymir is satisfied/free" moment back at end of part 2. And making a connection with Mikasa? It's like making connections, between not pre-existing dots. I liked how aftermath of Eren's rumbling was handled and how story of many characters has ended. But making Eren a clown, who was making smart moves, planned ahead, to just say in the end:"Sorry armin, i am dumb and i did all of that for you guys and because i want mikasa to step on me" (well making Eren to care about his friends is cool. Especially because in a way he gave away his freedom to be with Mikasa for the good of his friends.). So yeah, ending has some good but still a lot of, if not bad, but questionable decisions
Bro the ending to my was really bad, if u the author of the series doesn't mean we have to respect anything u written just bc u understand the story more than us bc u are the author, that called criticism u put ur work out u should expected then, by this bad ending I feel like it destroys what I had with aot, all characters sacrifices doesn't mean anything any more even (eruin,hanji,Sasha), just bc Erin is stupid and wants to kill everyone just bc he wanted that from the beginning, and (he killed his mom just bc he wanted to destroy everything is crazy)
The topic of remakes also conflicts me cuz while there are some good to great remakes (Yaiba, Dragon Quest Dai, maybe Ranma and Urusei Yatsura), others like Rurouni Kenshin, Spice and Wolf and Shaman King range from awful to one of the shows of all time. Meanwhile all the high profile staff are working on some of the new upcoming hits or passion projects (in cases like Yaiba) and people expect the remakes to live up to those standards otherwise they probably wouldn’t want them remade. I get that people want stuff like Soul Eater to be remade to finish the story or Yu Yu Hakusho to be made to bring the series to a more modern look, but with how stacked the staffs were of those original series, the remakes would probably be an inferior product visually. Or in the case of something like Tokyo Ghoul, the staff people would want on the show would likely not be free at the moment cuz of things like CSM, JJK and Dandadan constantly in production and getting more and more seasons. It is nice to see when remakes can be done well (Yaiba looks like it’s gonna be fantastic) but sometimes people have unrealistic expectations, like I heard someone wanted a show that came out this year to be remade in 50 consecutive episodes of Frieren quality lmaooo. And it’s hard because not everyone’s just gonna know about anime productions and all the studio pipelines, but at the same time some people just see studios as anime making vending machines that can pick up any show at any time and are just setting themselves up for disappointment
remakes are so weird. like the new spice and wolf (imo, i don’t even know the fanbases consensus on it) is kinda bad. animation ranges from stiff and awkward to lifeless and powerpoint like. the compositing just looks bad. the art is wildly inconsistent and looks worse than the original version (made even more obvious when the director decides to do a shot for shot remake for some scenes). and overall it feels like it lacks that extra something.
@@cwega2463 Yeah it’s a big problem that plagues a lot of remakes unfortunately. A lot of these teams don’t have the resources people want them to have in order for them to be great
Very true about anime openings, but I feel like it has more to do with music writing in general, I've heard on a radio podcast that music producers specifically put choirs into songs 'cause it makes songs more popular/appealing, for example, you can analyse chorus, verse, bridges, breakdowns in the same way
I agree about the visuals of OPs, not really the music. There have been a pretty good sum of animes that don't have that "generic jrock/vocals/guitar" the he was stating, although he does watch a lot of generic isekai, so that will probably influence his opinion. In this season alone we had nokotan, sucide isekai, oshi no ko, roshidere, makeine and probably more that i don't remember on the spot
I think you picked very good hot takes to discuss from the pile you were given and it made for an interesting viewing. I'm really glad you aren't picking takes that would result in the video being just "you are insane for this take!". Keep it up and thank you
On the Big 3 take i very much agree, i mean those are good stories, but the best o the genre? even i don't consider FMA the Best of the Best but i think its superior to all those, HxH in some degree too, and even, some new gen animes/mangas, the big 3 is based almost purely in nostalgia, because we were raised seeing those stories. In the same way Dragon Ball-Saint Seiya-Yu Yu Hakusho's Fans surely will say that those are superior to the Big 3 because they were raised with those. Is like "who is the strongest superhero?" meme.
Ymir is a character and hence a human after all the story changes her emotion and her character way to much to feel her as a good plot device. Her entire going back to fritz never made sense and her serving him+ out of no where that love plot point. And the ending of her character is like pretty much do nothing as a conclusion like what did she learnt from mikasa and why tf she needs to she already saw the future and pretty much her entire character feels a cheap plot device rather than a reasonable one.
nowhere was it stated that ymir could see the future. the reason ymir went back to fritz was because any time she acted in her own free will, she regretted it. she decided to free pigs and she was hunted cos of it, she saved the king, but she was treated like trash at the end. The love that eren talked about was his own interpretation but it was a twisted satisfaction from being needed by someone, that she used to blind herself from her fear of having free will. She didn't have a tongue and didn't know how to communicate, so instead of complaining, read between the lines and stop waiting for the author to spoon-feed you with info...
@@erezishell876literally eren after getting founders power saw the future till the end of his life. And eren already stated that ymir was always waiting for someone to free her. And the headaches mikasa was having before eren died was cause of ymir which means she already know that mikasa going to be the one which is pretty bullshit but don't wanna go a paragraph for this. And its pretty bullshit when attack titan is also ond 9 titan and all titan power comes from founder ymir so what make u think she haven't seen the future when one of the power of the 9 titan is to see future. And your point still doesn't prove why she go to king fritz again? She ran away from their cause of fear and hate so why? What did she thought at that time? And how did thise soldiers handled ymir after she became titan? And her way of thinking stuff is barely told. There is absolutely no way for her to go to fritz and when she free pigs we got to know that she is aware of freedom imp so what make u think she is that foolish to go back to that guy who did all the stuff to her? And why does she not have any ounce of hate towards that guy after what he did to her family and herself? Literally she wasn't mentally tortured she was physically tortured on the very serious level so how does that make her fall in love with fritz who never cared abt him? You proving my point all she does is nothing sort of human like when series try to show her as human through eren and she don't even have any emotions? Do she not feel anything like physical abuse? And what make her regret to leave the eldia empire? Like who is there for her in the first place? What does she leave there in fact in order to regret? Its pretty much isayama incapability to justify reasons and u fans coming with absolute head canon to do his paper work which further show his failure in this part of writing.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 ymir wasn't physically maltreated by the king after she gained the titan powers, watch the show. i literally said that ymir went back to king fritz and decided to be a slave because freedom put her in trouble, twice. she then blinded herself with the fact that at least the king needed her. stupid it may be, but human rights weren't fleshed out that much in ancient times, so i don't blame her. people didn't let women go to school, the king seed was considered a blessing, etc. humans were really dum then, lol. nowhere was it suggested that ymir could see the future, so my guess is that after mikasa killed eren, she went back in time, through mikasa's life (peeking thru her head) to see why she would kill someone who was destroying the world for her sake. it wasn't stated tho, and your points of complaints weren't stated as well, at the end of the day it was left open to interpretation by isayama. i'm going with the information that i got from the lost girls ova. you should watch it.
@@erezishell876 I guess you need to re watch the show not me brother cause no one would disagree with me that r@ping a 12 yr old is a physical as well as se*ual abuse. And in fully adult female the size of v@gina is 3-6 inch and ymir isn't even in her puberty lol. That guy literally r@ping her and u say after gaining titan power she didn't got abused physically? Like bro seriously we watched the same show? Even at first s*x a adult female feels alot of pain too so just think abt a 12 yr old 🙃. And just as I said she has nothing to regret leaving eldia cause she has nothing left. Literally fritz is the very reason for everything she lost. She literally ran for her life out of fear and the titan form show the hate and anger she has cause if she only wanted to protect her self than she might have choose or would have become an entity which doesn't harm anyone but protect her. But the certain trait like titan eating human and human only is the thing which comes from the hate she has for those ppl she has no reason to go to firtz who took everything from her and she doesn't even know him personally so why would she go to him? Doesn't make sense. Her going to eldia might make sense but her seving to fritz is bad writing cause she has no real reason to do so. Even if ppl from that time ago were not so good with good head thay doesn't make u entirely a spineless idiot who serves a person who took everything from u after getting incredible power. Her entire becoming titan wish was cause of fear and hate. And she was made a baby producing machine and a lot more but she is like a emotionless shit. There is a limit to a human and she having not even ounce of hate shown towards Fritz on any moment after going again to eldia is so unbelievable and stupid as hell writing.
I am by no means a titan folk. Well I should have in depth explained abt geo politics my grip is for example how isayama handled the war of declaration scene like the tyber speech no one just seem to disagree with him or have thought further abt having a deeper thought abt if they want to go with it. And the fact that how no one just secretly trying to betray marley is pretty unbelievable it very unrealistic that all the fcking ppl there want to eradicate a place so desperately which didn't communicated to them for like 3-4 gen. And not only that but they literally cried out with that thought its very unrealistic and very far from a good politics and is a poor world building (as world building isn't places it also abt the communication and ideologies of the perosn too). Well there is much more to it but I guess it would be a very long ahh paragraph and consume too much time.
These points are good, but tbf AOT isn't a very long manga, and Isayama seemed not to want to get bogged down in those details. If I want political intrigue, I can go to other stories which do it way better. But, for the story that Isayama is trying to tell, I feel that AOT did it to a superb degree.
@@totallyjerd1751the thing is isayama himself delved into politics category and he brought the theme of racism,hatred, war etc abt the world then it is a complete political thing. I think themes are pretty good but no the execution in story form. And if u bring political themes as i stated above then u need to present the all over the world ideology abt certain things which I stated. Politics,places,communication,ideologies and hierarchy of ur system is part of world building which isayama never presented in a very needed situation of story. By ideology all over the world of aot I don't mean every person exist there should be fleshed out in it but we should see the reaction of ppl all over the world upon the declaration scene or stuff. There was a good potential which isayama himself don't know what to do with and how to tackle it.
The entire hizuru nation and the volunteers betrayed marley and sided with paradise. That was because they have talked with paradise before the declaration of war. If eren hadn't attacked the place right afterwards you might have seen many more people being skeptic of tybur's motives and not helping with the global alliance. However, eren did prove tybur's speech that he is the enemy of the world by attacking the convention of diplomats from the entire world
@@luceafarul5740hizuru nation was hardly any help to paradise in power or to make any connection to any other nation. And other ppl who betrayed marley weren't that helpful as well on a big scale. My point is that the scene of war of declaration was very unrealistic to the point that it doesn't feel that the show is politically good rathee it shiw how cartoonishly evil other parts of world are. And abt eren he was literally pushed to do that stuff cause of the same reason I stated that the other rich leaders and marley are so cartoonishly evil. While eren shouldn't have just attacked rashly which is very big mistake considering he saw the future he could've had some introspection abt all the stuff going to happen and how to tackle those rather than just going along with the future without resistance. Ultimately my point is that in those more than like 40+ leader no one in secret or even normally didn't disagreed to him while just cry out loud listening to his speech.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 it seems like you just want a different story, not that you have actual criticism of the story we've gotten. Eren wasn't acting rash in his attack, that's exactly what him and zeke wanted. He wanted everybody in the world to join hands in hopes of killing him so he can destroy the global alliance (and have his friends this be saviors). I don't like the ending either but that doesn't mena that i need to blindly hate. The volunteers gave paradise marleyan technology. That's important. Hizuru has helped the crew in making connections with the eldian forum. If zeke wasn't pushing marley to declare was on paradise, and if eren and zeke didn't plan to massacre all the diplomats and civilians, there might have been a more "civilized" war where others would have sided with paradise
In my opinion ,the op argument is valid ,but at the same time ,songs in general are structured more or less like that ,so you cant expect the animation to be off rhythm with the music ,i might be wrong ,but i think that's the reason the pacing of the openings are like that .
I actually think that remakes are actually mostly unnecessary unless it is a remake of a poor adaptation. We don't need remakes, as plenty of shows still hold up, and I find that a lot of the directing in old anime can have a very unique style that is not in modern anime. Speaking of manga, which medium is better is entirely subjective, and almost entirely depends on the type of story being told. When adapting from a manga, a lot of the storytelling techniques used in manga just cannot be used very well in anime, so they would have to make a change for it to work, and things get lost in translation when adapting something. So I don't think "perfect anime" vs "perfect manga" would mean that the anime would win every time.
I was the first comment, i don't mind the takes but i will still stand for what i said. If i don't like the characters then the show just isn't for me. I appreciate your verdicts though, good vid.
The peaks of one piece are some of the highest I have seen in manga, and when Oda wants to write a good character moment, few mangaka can match his prowess. But yes, there are several slumps too. And if not for those peaks, I would have dropped one piece completely after the 4th fake out death. It actively hurts an otherwise excellent story. Sabo should have stayed fucking dead. Also, One piece is very hard to recommend because of it's lackluster anime adaptation. Yes, it has gotten leagues better recently. But there's still 900 episodes of mediocre production. That orders of magnitude longer than lots of other shows.
one piece overall is amazing. some arcs are fantastic. others are boring and a slog. you’re right it’s a weird mix. like you go from long ring long land into water 7. crazy lmao.
@@uddaloknag1751 "good character moments" most of those characters are stagnated through 1000 chapters with the same yapping happening over and over again. I would say the manga has got worse over time given how much retcons and fakeout are happening, meanwhile his art has gotten worse too.
Probably pretentious what you and that guy said about anime openings is the most unbiased hot take i have seen in this video. I have a question. From what you believe how do you feel about jojo openigs? I myself think jojo has the best openings in anime as a whole. What do you think? Guys in the comment section you what do you think? Tell me. Is it a hot take or an actually good take?
Jojo openings are so great and varried. They have everyhting, From J-rock type openings with Stand Proud and Chase, to funky sounding openings with Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town and Bloody Stream. Each done fantastically with some good 3d visual for majority of them.
Idk about them being the best (genuinely don't know, just choosing to be objective of that point), but I agree that they're very unique and fun to watch compared to most other openings, both in terms of song and animation.
@@PeterOHanrahaHanrahan I don't know about Noir, but FMA is pretty great. But FMA is not completely original, it follows the manga for about 25 or more eps. The new Terminator anime is quite fantastic.
Well Netflix definitely has quite a few, I assume Castlevania would count but also idk I haven't played the games so idk how close it is ti the games, but Netflix has definitely started to pump out more original anime.
I'm fairly sure that some netflix original anime like castlevania aren't the Western definition of anime i.e it was animated in Japan (by Japanese standards anime is anything animated). I believe that castlevania was animated by an American studio lwith ab "anime" style, so that's why they call it anime
People forget that Code Geass was heavily inspired by Gundam, as the ending is very similar to Char's Counterattack, and the rest of the story similar to other Gundam shows. I would even say that AOT Final Season is heavily inspired by Char's Counterattack more than Code Geass. Even Zeta Gundam has a character with a girl's name who's parents are killed by Titans and is a hot headed soldier using mechs to fight against them. I mean Gundam is heavily ingrained into anime in general, so it's not surprising to see many similarities between shows, but still.
Next week is gonna be insane with all the anime releases. Will u create a 'This Week in Anime' video or the usual episode animation analysis video. Either way, luv ur vids, still disappointed u didn't talk about my take, but hey its cool.
The big three in terms of animes, are honestly just not that good. The manga, however, is where it's at. Bleach suffered the most, from things like filler, bad animation and drawings and padding. Also, some semi-filler scene almost completely change some of the story elements and ruin some key moments. That being said, TYBW adaptation, from the story perspective, improves the manga material.
I half agree about the anime OPs take. I do think there’s a clear structure that a lot of them follow so it’s interesting when OPs do something outside of that but song wise I don’t think I want them to be experimental for the sake of it. Boku no Sensou for AoT was a case that I really liked, but even though Monster’s OP is instrumental and not like many other OPs, it doesn’t make me go “man that’s a banger OP!” but that’s just me (granted a J-Rock OP wouldn’t fit Monster anyways but regardless lmao). And this might sound contradictory but I think songs can be experimental while still being within that structure like SPECIALZ from JJK. Even though it follows that structure, there’s a reason why it’s a bit of a polarizing OP to some (even though it’s my favorite by a long shot lmao). Also J-Rock OPs still exist among some of the known shonens like MHA, Bleach and Demon Slayer but I feel like as anime try to get more and more popular artists, those are becoming a relic of the past. This year in regards to popular shows Frieren had pop style for OP1 and a soft rock style for OP2, Kaiju No.8 had a western artist produced by Imagine Dragons, Mashle had a jersey club beat alongside Dandadan also getting Creepy Nuts, Solo Leveling had Sawano x K-Pop, etc. Visually though I agree 100% and that’s why I liked stuff like Shun Enokido’s Mashle OP
specials is just a bad song. nothing “special” about it. it KINDA fits the arcs vibe (not really) but yeah. and it has really awful production and whiny singing.
When Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood first came out, i remember being irritated by the creative choices made in the first few episodes. The seriousness of the plots switched over so abruptly to stupid anime comedy faces thag it was jarring... I like the later episodes, but those first few episodes incorporated so many elements of sitcoms, i hated it at first. It's only the manga that kept me loyal to the anime because i wanted to see particular plot points animated Regarding Jujutsu Kaisen, i will firmly place Sukuna vs Jogo and Yuji vs Choso far above Sukuna vs Mahoraga. While I understand that the last one was a fight between God-like beings, I ain't watching the headache inducing scenes a second time.

Great points. Just started watching FMAB with my friends and we stopped at episode 20. And damn, those episodes were a slog, I hate the tonal shifts. I think people focus on how good the show gets, and forget how mid the start is.
I agree with your take on FMAB. The caricature jokes in the first few eps were so jarring, inappropriately timed and seemed to be at war with the tone and significance of each plot point they established as the episodes went. It was almost like for every potentially serious plot bit they put down there was one caricature joke or offhanded remark by the characters to push it to the corner and gloss over quickly. As a result the first 10 episodes or so felt hella rushed and weirdly trivial even though they had no reason to be. At the time, I didn't understand the logic behind such a move until I learnt that FMAB was a successor of sorts to an already established yet different story (FMA 2003), and they both had similar plot foundations, which the director(s) of the anime probably assumed the audience would already know by then. All in all, if I were to learn someone had dropped the anime during those first few episodes, I wouldn't even judge them.
@@thomasffrench3639 anime movies have been getting more accessible for few years now. Even in India most of the major films do get released. Even look back in releasing next month. Watching haikyuu was a blast it was a live crowd like experience
The problem isn't just having to go out to theatre's, it's the fact that anime movies almost never globally release and at some point you'll have to dodge spoilers for months on end if you don't live in Japan, the reason why going to movie theatre's is also amazingly annoying especially for an anime movie of a well known ip is bc other anime fans will be there, yelling at the top of their lungs acting like children, I want to enjoy the show without having some deodorant dodging, manchild sitting next to me, it's also annoying for people who are big animation fans (people who actually like looking into the production process) bc we all usually like watching the show or movie over and over to understand each scene at its core and that's impossible to do until someone is able to leak it on a pirating site or until it's available on crunchyroll, there's also the issue of it being expensive, you having to buy tickets before they're bought out etc, making movies for already known ip's unless they're unique stories to that ip or another existing ip with no adaptation, or if they're unique stories entirely is dumb, nobody gives a crap about an mha movie with non canon characters that's disjointed chronologically, Toho just wants money.
@@itapproaches3484 I understand what you say but these days films have started to release around the same time globally. Like take haikyuu movie, they gave us a list of release dates and countries and it was fairly close to each other in the same month itself. For annoying fans and getting tickets before they sold out, you can just go to a theatre which is fairly empty. Anime movies usually lose their steam in few days so a lot of theatres get empty soon.
I actually think that FMAB has a lot that it does extremely well, but it has flaws that bring it down. I wouldn't agree with it is decent at nearly everything, and excellent at nothing, as I think that it is flawed in a lot of ways, but excels at certain things. Agree that the big three is quality, but I think that a lot of people say they are the GOATs or say that they are trash, but they are simply just good manga.
People say Ymir is a plot device because her perspective and reasoning for her actions in the end fell apart. It's not that she drives the plot forwards but that it's in a way most people don't REALLY believe makes sense for her at all(most people because there's barely anyone who says they love her character in the end, they just love other things which are demonstrated by you agreeing she's a plot device and not going into the logic of her actions). That's what a bad plot device is - something which didn't manage to hide the author's intentions(move the plot in a specific direction) as an actual character /thing that could happen based on what was set up. In the end it felt like her character WAS Isayama for a lot of people and everything else was an excuse which didn't make sense to them. (I dropped aot post basement reveal because it felt to me like "what if Claymore but poorly fleshing out an entire rest of the world for only 30 chapters after so we could have the rumbling" when I appreciated claymore for them NOT starting a new war on the continent.) You're so snarky and even though that's fun in other videos, hot take videos are losing me!
I love ymir as a character.. I believe most people didn't get her character in the end..Let me explain.. Why did ymir go back to King Fritz after acquiring the Titan:- We have two perspectives on ymir from other characters,Eren and Armin.. They both come to different conclusions about her.. Eren tells us that she was in love with king Fritz.. this is what Eren thinks of her.. and Armin tells us that Ymir is seeking a connection.. That's why the Paths exist and every Subject of Ymir which are descendents of Ymir is connected by the Paths.. It's because Ymir was lonely her whole life and was seeking a genuine connection..That's why even when she got the biggest power in the world, she still went to the King that had sent dogs to kill her.. In my opinion Ymir has been lonely her whole life.. Historia's sister says about Ymir that she was a kind soul and always wanted to help others.. In the village before it was ravaged by king Fritz Ymir is shown to be helping others.. There is a scene of her looking at a wedding with a sense of wanting..For Ymir being lonely is the worst thing that could happen to her even if she has the power to destroy the world,She doesn't know what to do with that power..That's why she went back to the King that tried to kill her by feeding her to the dogs.. She literally can't think for herself.. She needs someone to be by her even if that person is a horrible human being.. I don't think she loves her like you see other characters love each other in a story or in real life.. She doesn't even know what a healthy relationship looks like.. Her going back to King Fritz is not because she had a girly crush on that king or something like that.. She is just there because of her fears.. I have seen so many abusive relationships and marriages like that in real life.. Like a person clearly doesn't like being in a relationship.. they know it's an abusive relationship and they are not happy being with their partner but they don't leave because it's more scary for them to leave their partners and to start fresh than let things be as they have always been.. and it's a sad thing to see but that's the reality.. Ymir to me is a child who is so scared to be alone and who can't think for herself that she thinks it's better for her to let king Fritz use her than to be left alone by everyone.. That's why the Paths exist and every Eldian is connected to her..That's why even after the King died she kept following his orders for 2000 years.. She knows king Fritz doesn't give a shot about her and she still lets him use her powers.. Ymir is such a great character..You have to really think about her character to appreciate her.. People are dumb..they are just ready to call something poorly written rather than use their brains and try to understand why certain things are there in a story..
You have a lot of bad takes. The big 3 is definitely better than most of the shows coming out now. Also Naruto is pretty good and is one of the best shows of all time.
I've watched all and i kinda agree with what PP said ,if you rewatch the shows now ,you can tell that in your mind you dont remember the bad parts and just the highlights ,since its a long show ,people tend to forget ,i'd say the best take someone can have is to rewatch them now and tell me how you feel about them now .
The amount of filler Naruto has is painstakingly annoying. If any new anime has that same problem it would be trashed to oblivion. But that doesn't apply to Naruto why? Cuz it's a popular anime with a huge fan base that will look past all of its flaws
Its funny how you defend bad Endings by just saying " People didn't like the ending because the show didn't end like how they wanted it to end. " With yhat logic every show's ending should be" Bad Ending" Coz a writer can never fulfill everyone's expectations.
@@Justanormalperson777 im not saying that nobody is allowed to like a bad ending. If you like a bad ending there's nothing wrong in that. I also like some shows that people consider bad. But i dont defend and say it has good writing. When a show or ending is heavily criticized by majority of people, you can't just defend by nonsense logic like " Some people will always complain", " They didn't get what they were expecting, so they are angry", " You are not the author, so you cant complain ",etc. People always have expectations, does that mean people are always disappointed? Thats not the case. There are many ending which are heavily praised or they dont criticize it very much. There is a reason for that. Good writing are always praised and bad writing are Criticised. That's how it works.
The FMA stuff is so silly to me. I've seen that exact sentiment before and this is what I wrote: At the very least the structure and set up of it is pretty astonishing in its field. The structure because everything is so clear and important, nothing is really wasted, and the setup because of how instinctually moving and evocative it is. Shonens are usually designed to go on forever and aren't very evocative in what their protagonists want. They don't dig deep into the human experience in that regard. FMA's premise really has that timeless, spiritual richness, in its particular blend of fear and hope, physicality and fantasy, pathos and horror. Because the premise is so perfect I think Arakawa is able to build everything else on top of it a lot more seamlessly, its telling that its one of the only shonens of its length that is never split into "arcs" by fans. The work is too unified for that. Even the manga that are better than it can't boast that. Really I'd say FMA is better at most things than most shonens. But premise and overall structure are the two things that I think Arakawa nailed so perfectly that I can more easily argue for them off the top of my head. I think my big question is, if not FMA, what's a manga that does do something super super amazing?
final question is silly. plenty of manga do things that are “super super amazing”. FMA isn’t alone, or special, by the fact that it’s good and well written.
As of now, I'm really confused as to what type of shows you more or less lean towards😅 Firstly, you loving shows like AOT and Psycho pass season 1 made me think you liked shows with complex themes and subtle nuanced storytelling with its primary focus on characters But then you'd put one piece with its very emotional and on the nose style of storytelling and incredible worldbuilding leagues over Bleach's subtle and nuanced storytelling and emotionally complex characters, while also criticizing something like DS for its lack of subtlety so what are the things you actually look for in stories that can make you fond of them, or rather prioritize in storytelling, or does it vary for different shows?
people like different things. there isn’t a set formula for things people like to see. people can like both complex character based shows and silly action series that focus on fights and no plot.
@@cwega2463 ofc I completely agree with that, I mean PP's fav genre is slice of life... I just wanted to know what type of "serious" action shows he gravitates towards
Listen try to back frieren and days with my step sister as much as you want but stop trying to pretend like those two are really really good yeah frieren is good but not really really good(day with my step sister sucks). My reason is yeah the name is frieren journeys beyond end and yeah thats why the story isnt not going anywhere. But that doenst mean shit. If a story isnt enjoyable and kind of boring to watch or read you drop it or start hating it. just intensionally being boring doesnt make it different its just boring as it can get. Same goes for days with my step sister. In the video you made about day with my step sister You said its written to be boring and thats why its different and unique. Yeah i understand but dont you think that is the most laziest way to make a show different and unique. Why should you want something thats intentionally made to be boring when there's shows thats boring but actually trying to do something different in an creative way. Like bro stop pretending that these two shows is good. Yes they are good because frieren is animation carried (same goes for everything else exept for story) and days with my step sister is direction carried. (the animation is still bad though).
I thought days with my step sister was boring, but the animation was good, so your take doesn’t really make too much sense. I love Frieren anime, and ye, I agree that a show being boring on purpose doesn’t make it better. But you see, it’s all about expectations and taste. Not everyone is gonna agree with me, and not everyone is gonna agree with you. If you expected Frieren to be an exciting show full of action and thought, then you expected wrong, and that’s more on you than it is on the show. Frieren is objectively good, if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t have so many good reviews. If you don’t like it then it’s fine, but do keep in mind that it’s only your opinion, and the majority will not agree with you simply because you think differently.
@@infiniteshadow272 I agree to everything your are saying and yes I really enjoyed frieren. But the thing is this youtuber makes it seem like it's written be boring and yes it is but he's trying to make it look like making a show intentionally boring is good. Like no it isn't. Some might find it enjoyable because it's frieren but in days with my step sister it just isn't. Again the anime is good. One of the bet directed shows I have watched but that's it. It's boring and it's made to be boring and lots of people agrees to me as well. What I am trying to say is that stop trying to make it look like when a story is intentionally written to be boring it's objectively good because it's unique. I hope you understand what I am saying. Again I don't find frieren to be a bad show. I really enjoyed it because characters and everything else is really enjoyable but the only issue is the story. Days with my step sister is the worst intentionally made to be boring shoes I have ever seen dawg. Hell eminence in shadows is far more enjoyable than that crap.
@@_BR3NDOoh so that’s what you meant lol. Sry I didn’t get what you were saying at first. I agree that we shouldn’t just say that a show is “written to be boring”, it sounds kinda stupid. I think what he means to say is that it’s the type of story that moves at a slower pace compared to others, or maybe he’s just trying to set expectations for the shows so that ppl don’t expect anything completely different.
@@infiniteshadow272 yes I agree with what he's saying about frieren because I actually found it enjoyable but not in this video in the video he made about days with my step sister that's what I was mostly focusing on in my comment.
lmao frieren is in no way boring. its made to be more relaxed and calming than the average shonen because thats the theme and the author cares more about a good story than milking the shit out of shonen jumps readers. from how you talk, i believe you’re probably very young and cant pay attention to a 1 minute clip without subway surfers gameplay to keep you entertained.
6:10 Mob Psycho s3 ep8 from Hakuyu Go really impressed me, especially ending, I didn't expect to see the biggest Mob episode to be from these manga chapters and I read the manga before anime!
I'd definitely like to see another one of these, making it a recurring series is something I am 100% in favor of
Consuming the BLEACH anime is worst way to consume BLEACH. If you ever get time, read BLEACH. From the comments of Kubo and it's drawing style it is fair to assume that it's essence can only be felt through manga.
10:55
I don't want to talk trash to Naruto & bleach (I still enjoy them) but, "Nostalgia carrying hard" Only applies to shows in Big 3 which are completed.
Cuz if something like latest chapters of One Piece are making bigger waves in fandom than ever before, where's "nostalgia" part in it?
> People disliked the ending because that wasn't what they wanted
> People liked the ending because they don't want to see flaws in their favorite series.
I am honestly so sick of both arguments
0:45 despite demon lord being defeated they could have taken the story in a far more interesting direction and started out the tournament part earlier but this comes down to how the manga is written. One issue with frieren is how it showcase too much of the past, where it would have been better if it was refered through dialogue rather showcasing the scenes (creates mystery). Just compare it to Rurouni kenshin which is kinda a "beyond journey's end" it did it far better by keeping the past limited in what we know + Rurouni kenshin was more balanced around the slice of life moments and action without being too stale which is why frieren feels like an slog especially when some of the cast feels so nonchalant and bland. That dragon fight lasted only a min or so before it was over which isn't actually much action.
9:59 this is why I personally find Yuji vs Choso to be a better fight
Here’s my hot take, bleach tybw is around opm s2 level with better drawings.
On HxH: the last arc was quite boring to me, especially since it came right after the Chimera Ant arc. I saw myself engage with it only when previous characters and our main characters were involved. The subplot of Nanika and Killua and trying to bring back Gon was the highlight of that arc for me. The whole political stuff with Ging did NOT interest me at all.
On another note, I also seem to be the only one that genuinely enjoyed the Greed Island arc...
i enjoyed greed island arco too ,my fav isekai
what made you think that you are the only one
agreeing with you on remakes. them existing isn’t inherently bad. and i don’t think we are even close to the point where they’re overstaying their welcome. most are welcome and honestly needed.
i wouldn’t even have known urusei yatsura was a thing if not for the remake.
one piece literally is begging for it.
i’m glad we are getting remakes.
I feel like you cant really enjoy Frieren if you dont have life experience to understand the meanings.
I like both slice of life/romance and shonen fights and tounaments, frieren has all of that and does it masterfully. Stark and farn's disagreemenrs and argumenrs being relatively small scale really shows the intricacies of each character and its so fun to watch.
On FMAB: The caricature jokes in the first few eps were so jarring, inappropriately timed and seemed to be at war with the tone and significance of each plot point they established as the episodes went by. It was almost like for every potentially serious plot bit they put down there was one caricature joke or offhanded remark by the characters to push it to the corner and gloss over quickly. As a result the first 10 episodes or so felt hella rushed and weirdly trivial even though they had no reason to be.
At the time, I didn't understand the logic behind such a move until I learnt that FMAB was partly a successor of sorts to an already established yet different story (FMA 2003), and that they both had similar plot foundations, which the director(s) of the anime probably assumed the audience would already know before watching FMAB.
All in all, if I were to learn someone had dropped the anime during those first few episodes, I wouldn't even judge them.
this very thing is the reason why i can’t fully get into the elusive samurai.
I disagree with the anime vs manga at its best, the art in berserk/vagabond will never be able to be produced at the same level in an animation, and in my opinion berserk tops any anime at its best.
Bro really does have a degree in Yapology.
In a good way
Rather be good at yapping than be bad at it
That is not "yapping"
He is not talking about irrelevant stuff or taking too long on point
Strong disagree on your movie/theater take. Movies in a cinema are completely different way of consuming the media. It is by far the best, for sure.
I think Attack on titan's openings are pretty unique though.
I agree with the AOT one because
I signed up to see humans fighting Titans, to see them reclaim their world that was taken by them by the Titans, a Davids vs Golaiths story, not some political anime where Erin becomes the big bad because for some reason attack titan's share memories and now wants to wipe out 80% of the human race.
I thought that at first too but that would have been the same sh*t over and over again considering we already saw full war in s3 p2. Season 4 had the best twist and turns and over all made the story even more deeper and well written

100% agree with the FMAB take, the fans think too highly about it 😂
I think fmab is good but fans of it just glaze it way to much
I think it's a good show to watch, the writing is very good , it's not the best at all but I liked it,
The only problem I had with this show was the mc's power level never really grows in the entire show, they keep using the same powers without even upgrading and suddenly in the end he overpowers the antagonist....
Btw Roy Mustang vs envy is one of my favorites till date.
@@debasishroy3495 I don't think that's the problem if mc powers didn't grow much through the entire run overall fmab is much consistent to me throughout it's entire run but it definitely don't deserve the title of being best anime of all time
Nah man, FMAB literally had everything I could've ever wanted in a shonen, its one of the shows that absolutely lived up to the hype for me which is rare.
It's rated too highly because it's actually that good. It doesn't overstay it's welcome and stretches itself too thin and does everything better than literally any other shonen series you can think of in under 100 episodes. It's perfectly fine if you don't like it (every show has haters afterall) but instead of throwing shade and call it overrated, try to explore why exactly it's as good as people say.
Frieren is such a weird show for me. I dropped it about 6 or 7 episodes in, and I don't really know why. It's not the slow pacing, I've liked many shows with slow pacing and am a fan of the slice of life genre in general, known for it's slow, relaxed pace. It's not that I don't understand the themes of the show either, it's not very hard to see the meaning in the show and it's importance. I think one of the reasons is because of the character interactions, it kinda feels like a bunch of emotionless robots got together and started talking to each other. They all just have this facial expression of :| most of the time, and I don't derive any enjoyment from most of their interactions. However, I don't really know if that's the reason I don't like it. Whatever the case, Frieren just aint it for me :/
same bruh
I disagree on your take with shounen ending. Many shounen have satisfactory ending that despite some initial backlash, will eventually get accepted like Bleach, Naruto, Yu yu yakusho, Dragon Ball, Fire force, Mashle, Nisekoi,....
However there are shounen with objectively bad ending mainly because the author forgot the main setup of his show, like MHA, JJK (mixed feeling on this), Hitman Reborn, Negima...
Attack on Titan is a special case because Isayama knew he wrote himself into a corner with Eren which led him to introduce a shitty plot twist at the end and scrap the natural conclusion of his story just to turn his work into a franchise in the most insulting way.
My point is that, the majority of the fan can pretty much agree on the main point of a show and the author has the OBLIGATION to know it.
the talking style is it intentionally ?

Love this series
I love ymir as a character.. I believe most people didn't get her character in the end..Let me explain..
Why did ymir go back to King Fritz after acquiring the Titan:- We have two perspectives on ymir from other characters,Eren and Armin.. They both come to different conclusions about her..

In the village before it was ravaged by king Fritz Ymir is shown to be helping others.. There is a scene of her looking at a wedding with a sense of wanting..For Ymir being lonely is the worst thing that could happen to her even if she has the power to destroy the world,She doesn't know what to do with that power..That's why she went back to the King that tried to kill her by feeding her to the dogs.. She literally can't think for herself.. She needs someone to be by her even if that person is a horrible human being.. I don't think she loves her like you see other characters love each other in a story or in real life.. She doesn't even know what a healthy relationship looks like.. Her going back to King Fritz is not because she had a girly crush on that king or something like that.. She is just there because of her fears..
I have seen so many abusive relationships and marriages like that in real life.. Like a person clearly doesn't like being in a relationship.. they know it's an abusive relationship and they are not happy being with their partner but they don't leave because it's more scary for them to leave their partners and to start fresh than let things be as they have always been.. and it's a sad thing to see but that's the reality..
Ymir to me is a child who is so scared to be alone and who can't think for herself that she thinks it's better for her to let king Fritz use her than to be left alone by everyone.. That's why the Paths exist and every Eldian is connected to her..That's why even after the King died she kept following his orders for 2000 years.. She knows king Fritz doesn't give a shot about her and she still lets him use her powers..
Ymir is such a great character..You have to really think about her character to appreciate her..
People are dumb..they are just ready to call something poorly written rather than use their brains and try to understand why certain things are there in a story..
I disagree with the take she is just a plot device..
Friren is boring in my opinion I understand the concept but it has no development as a show and it just feels like a bunch of filler. “Oh u don’t get the meaning of it” I get the meaning but still it could be less boring. I’m not saying it has to have action, but that Charcters just feel so plain r basic. One time I went on Reddit to ask if it got better because I wasn’t enjoying it and everybody just said “oh u don’t get it if u didn’t like epsiode 1 don’t continue” and i didn’t but like I thought they’d atleast want me to try like and I though the show would get interesting not neesacrly wild but the Charcters maybe would get more interesting, but they were still boring.-my opinion feel free to Disagree because your is valid too.
Those kind of fanbase is the most annoying one thinking they're so special for "diving deep into human psyche" and all the artsy fartsy term they came up with when the show was just showing two emotionless girls picking up flowers in the backyard.
will you be watching the one piece remake by studio WIT?
My biggest problem with ending (besides the fact that characters worked together too well for people who not so long ago hated each other) is Isayama's strange love move. Like what's the point of Ymir loving the one who abused her? We already got "Ymir is satisfied/free" moment back at end of part 2. And making a connection with Mikasa? It's like making connections, between not pre-existing dots. I liked how aftermath of Eren's rumbling was handled and how story of many characters has ended. But making Eren a clown, who was making smart moves, planned ahead, to just say in the end:"Sorry armin, i am dumb and i did all of that for you guys and because i want mikasa to step on me" (well making Eren to care about his friends is cool. Especially because in a way he gave away his freedom to be with Mikasa for the good of his friends.). So yeah, ending has some good but still a lot of, if not bad, but questionable decisions
Bro the ending to my was really bad, if u the author of the series doesn't mean we have to respect anything u written just bc u understand the story more than us bc u are the author, that called criticism u put ur work out u should expected then, by this bad ending I feel like it destroys what I had with aot, all characters sacrifices doesn't mean anything any more even (eruin,hanji,Sasha), just bc Erin is stupid and wants to kill everyone just bc he wanted that from the beginning, and (he killed his mom just bc he wanted to destroy everything is crazy)
The topic of remakes also conflicts me cuz while there are some good to great remakes (Yaiba, Dragon Quest Dai, maybe Ranma and Urusei Yatsura), others like Rurouni Kenshin, Spice and Wolf and Shaman King range from awful to one of the shows of all time. Meanwhile all the high profile staff are working on some of the new upcoming hits or passion projects (in cases like Yaiba) and people expect the remakes to live up to those standards otherwise they probably wouldn’t want them remade. I get that people want stuff like Soul Eater to be remade to finish the story or Yu Yu Hakusho to be made to bring the series to a more modern look, but with how stacked the staffs were of those original series, the remakes would probably be an inferior product visually. Or in the case of something like Tokyo Ghoul, the staff people would want on the show would likely not be free at the moment cuz of things like CSM, JJK and Dandadan constantly in production and getting more and more seasons. It is nice to see when remakes can be done well (Yaiba looks like it’s gonna be fantastic) but sometimes people have unrealistic expectations, like I heard someone wanted a show that came out this year to be remade in 50 consecutive episodes of Frieren quality lmaooo. And it’s hard because not everyone’s just gonna know about anime productions and all the studio pipelines, but at the same time some people just see studios as anime making vending machines that can pick up any show at any time and are just setting themselves up for disappointment
remakes are so weird. like the new spice and wolf (imo, i don’t even know the fanbases consensus on it) is kinda bad.
animation ranges from stiff and awkward to lifeless and powerpoint like. the compositing just looks bad. the art is wildly inconsistent and looks worse than the original version (made even more obvious when the director decides to do a shot for shot remake for some scenes). and overall it feels like it lacks that extra something.
@@cwega2463 Yeah it’s a big problem that plagues a lot of remakes unfortunately. A lot of these teams don’t have the resources people want them to have in order for them to be great

Very true about anime openings, but I feel like it has more to do with music writing in general, I've heard on a radio podcast that music producers specifically put choirs into songs 'cause it makes songs more popular/appealing, for example, you can analyse chorus, verse, bridges, breakdowns in the same way
I agree about the visuals of OPs, not really the music. There have been a pretty good sum of animes that don't have that "generic jrock/vocals/guitar" the he was stating, although he does watch a lot of generic isekai, so that will probably influence his opinion. In this season alone we had nokotan, sucide isekai, oshi no ko, roshidere, makeine and probably more that i don't remember on the spot
I think you picked very good hot takes to discuss from the pile you were given and it made for an interesting viewing.
I'm really glad you aren't picking takes that would result in the video being just "you are insane for this take!".
Keep it up and thank you
On the Big 3 take i very much agree, i mean those are good stories, but the best o the genre? even i don't consider FMA the Best of the Best but i think its superior to all those, HxH in some degree too, and even, some new gen animes/mangas, the big 3 is based almost purely in nostalgia, because we were raised seeing those stories. In the same way Dragon Ball-Saint Seiya-Yu Yu Hakusho's Fans surely will say that those are superior to the Big 3 because they were raised with those.
Is like "who is the strongest superhero?" meme.
Ymir is a character and hence a human after all the story changes her emotion and her character way to much to feel her as a good plot device. Her entire going back to fritz never made sense and her serving him+ out of no where that love plot point. And the ending of her character is like pretty much do nothing as a conclusion like what did she learnt from mikasa and why tf she needs to she already saw the future and pretty much her entire character feels a cheap plot device rather than a reasonable one.
nowhere was it stated that ymir could see the future. the reason ymir went back to fritz was because any time she acted in her own free will, she regretted it. she decided to free pigs and she was hunted cos of it, she saved the king, but she was treated like trash at the end. The love that eren talked about was his own interpretation but it was a twisted satisfaction from being needed by someone, that she used to blind herself from her fear of having free will. She didn't have a tongue and didn't know how to communicate, so instead of complaining, read between the lines and stop waiting for the author to spoon-feed you with info...
@@erezishell876literally eren after getting founders power saw the future till the end of his life. And eren already stated that ymir was always waiting for someone to free her. And the headaches mikasa was having before eren died was cause of ymir which means she already know that mikasa going to be the one which is pretty bullshit but don't wanna go a paragraph for this. And its pretty bullshit when attack titan is also ond 9 titan and all titan power comes from founder ymir so what make u think she haven't seen the future when one of the power of the 9 titan is to see future. And your point still doesn't prove why she go to king fritz again? She ran away from their cause of fear and hate so why? What did she thought at that time? And how did thise soldiers handled ymir after she became titan? And her way of thinking stuff is barely told. There is absolutely no way for her to go to fritz and when she free pigs we got to know that she is aware of freedom imp so what make u think she is that foolish to go back to that guy who did all the stuff to her? And why does she not have any ounce of hate towards that guy after what he did to her family and herself? Literally she wasn't mentally tortured she was physically tortured on the very serious level so how does that make her fall in love with fritz who never cared abt him?
You proving my point all she does is nothing sort of human like when series try to show her as human through eren and she don't even have any emotions? Do she not feel anything like physical abuse? And what make her regret to leave the eldia empire? Like who is there for her in the first place? What does she leave there in fact in order to regret? Its pretty much isayama incapability to justify reasons and u fans coming with absolute head canon to do his paper work which further show his failure in this part of writing.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 ymir wasn't physically maltreated by the king after she gained the titan powers, watch the show. i literally said that ymir went back to king fritz and decided to be a slave because freedom put her in trouble, twice. she then blinded herself with the fact that at least the king needed her. stupid it may be, but human rights weren't fleshed out that much in ancient times, so i don't blame her. people didn't let women go to school, the king seed was considered a blessing, etc. humans were really dum then, lol.
nowhere was it suggested that ymir could see the future, so my guess is that after mikasa killed eren, she went back in time, through mikasa's life (peeking thru her head) to see why she would kill someone who was destroying the world for her sake. it wasn't stated tho, and your points of complaints weren't stated as well, at the end of the day it was left open to interpretation by isayama. i'm going with the information that i got from the lost girls ova. you should watch it.
@@erezishell876 I guess you need to re watch the show not me brother cause no one would disagree with me that r@ping a 12 yr old is a physical as well as se*ual abuse. And in fully adult female the size of v@gina is 3-6 inch and ymir isn't even in her puberty lol. That guy literally r@ping her and u say after gaining titan power she didn't got abused physically? Like bro seriously we watched the same show? Even at first s*x a adult female feels alot of pain too so just think abt a 12 yr old 🙃.
And just as I said she has nothing to regret leaving eldia cause she has nothing left. Literally fritz is the very reason for everything she lost. She literally ran for her life out of fear and the titan form show the hate and anger she has cause if she only wanted to protect her self than she might have choose or would have become an entity which doesn't harm anyone but protect her. But the certain trait like titan eating human and human only is the thing which comes from the hate she has for those ppl she has no reason to go to firtz who took everything from her and she doesn't even know him personally so why would she go to him? Doesn't make sense. Her going to eldia might make sense but her seving to fritz is bad writing cause she has no real reason to do so. Even if ppl from that time ago were not so good with good head thay doesn't make u entirely a spineless idiot who serves a person who took everything from u after getting incredible power. Her entire becoming titan wish was cause of fear and hate. And she was made a baby producing machine and a lot more but she is like a emotionless shit. There is a limit to a human and she having not even ounce of hate shown towards Fritz on any moment after going again to eldia is so unbelievable and stupid as hell writing.
I am by no means a titan folk.
Well I should have in depth explained abt geo politics my grip is for example how isayama handled the war of declaration scene like the tyber speech no one just seem to disagree with him or have thought further abt having a deeper thought abt if they want to go with it. And the fact that how no one just secretly trying to betray marley is pretty unbelievable it very unrealistic that all the fcking ppl there want to eradicate a place so desperately which didn't communicated to them for like 3-4 gen. And not only that but they literally cried out with that thought its very unrealistic and very far from a good politics and is a poor world building (as world building isn't places it also abt the communication and ideologies of the perosn too). Well there is much more to it but I guess it would be a very long ahh paragraph and consume too much time.
These points are good, but tbf AOT isn't a very long manga, and Isayama seemed not to want to get bogged down in those details. If I want political intrigue, I can go to other stories which do it way better. But, for the story that Isayama is trying to tell, I feel that AOT did it to a superb degree.
@@totallyjerd1751the thing is isayama himself delved into politics category and he brought the theme of racism,hatred, war etc abt the world then it is a complete political thing. I think themes are pretty good but no the execution in story form. And if u bring political themes as i stated above then u need to present the all over the world ideology abt certain things which I stated. Politics,places,communication,ideologies and hierarchy of ur system is part of world building which isayama never presented in a very needed situation of story. By ideology all over the world of aot I don't mean every person exist there should be fleshed out in it but we should see the reaction of ppl all over the world upon the declaration scene or stuff. There was a good potential which isayama himself don't know what to do with and how to tackle it.
The entire hizuru nation and the volunteers betrayed marley and sided with paradise. That was because they have talked with paradise before the declaration of war.
If eren hadn't attacked the place right afterwards you might have seen many more people being skeptic of tybur's motives and not helping with the global alliance. However, eren did prove tybur's speech that he is the enemy of the world by attacking the convention of diplomats from the entire world
@@luceafarul5740hizuru nation was hardly any help to paradise in power or to make any connection to any other nation. And other ppl who betrayed marley weren't that helpful as well on a big scale.
My point is that the scene of war of declaration was very unrealistic to the point that it doesn't feel that the show is politically good rathee it shiw how cartoonishly evil other parts of world are. And abt eren he was literally pushed to do that stuff cause of the same reason I stated that the other rich leaders and marley are so cartoonishly evil. While eren shouldn't have just attacked rashly which is very big mistake considering he saw the future he could've had some introspection abt all the stuff going to happen and how to tackle those rather than just going along with the future without resistance.
Ultimately my point is that in those more than like 40+ leader no one in secret or even normally didn't disagreed to him while just cry out loud listening to his speech.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 it seems like you just want a different story, not that you have actual criticism of the story we've gotten.
Eren wasn't acting rash in his attack, that's exactly what him and zeke wanted. He wanted everybody in the world to join hands in hopes of killing him so he can destroy the global alliance (and have his friends this be saviors). I don't like the ending either but that doesn't mena that i need to blindly hate.
The volunteers gave paradise marleyan technology. That's important. Hizuru has helped the crew in making connections with the eldian forum. If zeke wasn't pushing marley to declare was on paradise, and if eren and zeke didn't plan to massacre all the diplomats and civilians, there might have been a more "civilized" war where others would have sided with paradise
In my opinion ,the op argument is valid ,but at the same time ,songs in general are structured more or less like that ,so you cant expect the animation to be off rhythm with the music ,i might be wrong ,but i think that's the reason the pacing of the openings are like that .
W video
I love this series, your input is always so interesting
hxh is overrated
infinitely better than dragon ball
I actually think that remakes are actually mostly unnecessary unless it is a remake of a poor adaptation. We don't need remakes, as plenty of shows still hold up, and I find that a lot of the directing in old anime can have a very unique style that is not in modern anime.
Speaking of manga, which medium is better is entirely subjective, and almost entirely depends on the type of story being told. When adapting from a manga, a lot of the storytelling techniques used in manga just cannot be used very well in anime, so they would have to make a change for it to work, and things get lost in translation when adapting something. So I don't think "perfect anime" vs "perfect manga" would mean that the anime would win every time.
Uzumaki first ep aired he better Do a animation break down on it
Looks like I am 1 hour late😂😂😂
I was the first comment, i don't mind the takes but i will still stand for what i said.
If i don't like the characters then the show just isn't for me.
I appreciate your verdicts though, good vid.
The biggest advantage/disadvantage of One Piece is its length, I can't name a single manga that goes from good to bad to good as often as it does
The peaks of one piece are some of the highest I have seen in manga, and when Oda wants to write a good character moment, few mangaka can match his prowess. But yes, there are several slumps too. And if not for those peaks, I would have dropped one piece completely after the 4th fake out death. It actively hurts an otherwise excellent story. Sabo should have stayed fucking dead.
Also, One piece is very hard to recommend because of it's lackluster anime adaptation. Yes, it has gotten leagues better recently. But there's still 900 episodes of mediocre production. That orders of magnitude longer than lots of other shows.
one piece overall is amazing. some arcs are fantastic. others are boring and a slog. you’re right it’s a weird mix.
like you go from long ring long land into water 7. crazy lmao.
@@uddaloknag1751 "good character moments" most of those characters are stagnated through 1000 chapters with the same yapping happening over and over again. I would say the manga has got worse over time given how much retcons and fakeout are happening, meanwhile his art has gotten worse too.
@@WieldMyWordholy yap, blud probably can't even name more than 5 retcons😂😂

Your FMAB critique is insanely terrible but oh well this is a video about hot takes so I shouldn't complain.
fr he made no sense
Probably pretentious what you and that guy said about anime openings is the most unbiased hot take i have seen in this video. I have a question. From what you believe how do you feel about jojo openigs? I myself think jojo has the best openings in anime as a whole. What do you think? Guys in the comment section you what do you think? Tell me. Is it a hot take or an actually good take?
Jojo openings are so great and varried. They have everyhting, From J-rock type openings with Stand Proud and Chase, to funky sounding openings with Crazy Noisy Bizarre Town and Bloody Stream. Each done fantastically with some good 3d visual for majority of them.
@@Carpet- couldn't agree more brother. You also forgot to mention the masterpiece that is sound effect openings and villain openings in jojo.
That's a good take and many people might agree with it. And if they don't, they are wrong haha
Idk about them being the best (genuinely don't know, just choosing to be objective of that point), but I agree that they're very unique and fun to watch compared to most other openings, both in terms of song and animation.
They are definitely top tier but some other series like Monogatari Series give them a run for their money
I haven't seen this hot take and that's that we need much more original anime, like e.g. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
Noir and Fma 2003 are great original animes
@@PeterOHanrahaHanrahan I don't know about Noir, but FMA is pretty great. But FMA is not completely original, it follows the manga for about 25 or more eps. The new Terminator anime is quite fantastic.
Well Netflix definitely has quite a few, I assume Castlevania would count but also idk I haven't played the games so idk how close it is ti the games, but Netflix has definitely started to pump out more original anime.
I'm fairly sure that some netflix original anime like castlevania aren't the Western definition of anime i.e it was animated in Japan (by Japanese standards anime is anything animated). I believe that castlevania was animated by an American studio lwith ab "anime" style, so that's why they call it anime
@@frozenhat420 True.
I wouldn't mind this as a non-frequent reoccurring series, though I wonder if the frequency will be like that of your "This Week in Anime Series" 😂
hot take: people shouldn't be shamed for disliking the big 3/dragon ball
Love this take ❤
People forget that Code Geass was heavily inspired by Gundam, as the ending is very similar to Char's Counterattack, and the rest of the story similar to other Gundam shows. I would even say that AOT Final Season is heavily inspired by Char's Counterattack more than Code Geass. Even Zeta Gundam has a character with a girl's name who's parents are killed by Titans and is a hot headed soldier using mechs to fight against them. I mean Gundam is heavily ingrained into anime in general, so it's not surprising to see many similarities between shows, but still.
Next week is gonna be insane with all the anime releases. Will u create a 'This Week in Anime' video or the usual episode animation analysis video. Either way, luv ur vids, still disappointed u didn't talk about my take, but hey its cool.
The big three in terms of animes, are honestly just not that good. The manga, however, is where it's at. Bleach suffered the most, from things like filler, bad animation and drawings and padding. Also, some semi-filler scene almost completely change some of the story elements and ruin some key moments. That being said, TYBW adaptation, from the story perspective, improves the manga material.
true, it was also the one that got most censored out of the big 3 due to the manga was a lot more explicit.
I half agree about the anime OPs take. I do think there’s a clear structure that a lot of them follow so it’s interesting when OPs do something outside of that but song wise I don’t think I want them to be experimental for the sake of it. Boku no Sensou for AoT was a case that I really liked, but even though Monster’s OP is instrumental and not like many other OPs, it doesn’t make me go “man that’s a banger OP!” but that’s just me (granted a J-Rock OP wouldn’t fit Monster anyways but regardless lmao). And this might sound contradictory but I think songs can be experimental while still being within that structure like SPECIALZ from JJK. Even though it follows that structure, there’s a reason why it’s a bit of a polarizing OP to some (even though it’s my favorite by a long shot lmao). Also J-Rock OPs still exist among some of the known shonens like MHA, Bleach and Demon Slayer but I feel like as anime try to get more and more popular artists, those are becoming a relic of the past. This year in regards to popular shows Frieren had pop style for OP1 and a soft rock style for OP2, Kaiju No.8 had a western artist produced by Imagine Dragons, Mashle had a jersey club beat alongside Dandadan also getting Creepy Nuts, Solo Leveling had Sawano x K-Pop, etc. Visually though I agree 100% and that’s why I liked stuff like Shun Enokido’s Mashle OP
specials is just a bad song. nothing “special” about it. it KINDA fits the arcs vibe (not really) but yeah.
and it has really awful production and whiny singing.
@@cwega2463 Imma have to agree to disagree
THANK YOU....I 100% agree dude.
When Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood first came out, i remember being irritated by the creative choices made in the first few episodes. The seriousness of the plots switched over so abruptly to stupid anime comedy faces thag it was jarring... I like the later episodes, but those first few episodes incorporated so many elements of sitcoms, i hated it at first. It's only the manga that kept me loyal to the anime because i wanted to see particular plot points animated
Regarding Jujutsu Kaisen, i will firmly place Sukuna vs Jogo and Yuji vs Choso far above Sukuna vs Mahoraga. While I understand that the last one was a fight between God-like beings, I ain't watching the headache inducing scenes a second time. However, the former two, I ahve played back an unholy number of times to calm my lizard brain. As a Bonus, Sukuna playing red light green light with random people when a meteor is about to fall on their heads still cracks me up
Great points. Just started watching FMAB with my friends and we stopped at episode 20. And damn, those episodes were a slog, I hate the tonal shifts. I think people focus on how good the show gets, and forget how mid the start is.
I think the comedy works a lot better in the manga, but I can see why it would bother people in the anime.
I agree with your take on FMAB. The caricature jokes in the first few eps were so jarring, inappropriately timed and seemed to be at war with the tone and significance of each plot point they established as the episodes went. It was almost like for every potentially serious plot bit they put down there was one caricature joke or offhanded remark by the characters to push it to the corner and gloss over quickly. As a result the first 10 episodes or so felt hella rushed and weirdly trivial even though they had no reason to be.
At the time, I didn't understand the logic behind such a move until I learnt that FMAB was a successor of sorts to an already established yet different story (FMA 2003), and they both had similar plot foundations, which the director(s) of the anime probably assumed the audience would already know by then.
All in all, if I were to learn someone had dropped the anime during those first few episodes, I wouldn't even judge them.
This is one of my favorite video series, getting to see what other people think about anime/manga
Bro is scared of stepping out of house and going to the cinemas💀
Yeah, I think that Anime movies are awesome, I don't get that critique. I totally understand the distribution complaint tho.
@@thomasffrench3639 anime movies have been getting more accessible for few years now. Even in India most of the major films do get released. Even look back in releasing next month. Watching haikyuu was a blast it was a live crowd like experience
weebs don't shower very often. i mean its gotta smell really bad in there
The problem isn't just having to go out to theatre's, it's the fact that anime movies almost never globally release and at some point you'll have to dodge spoilers for months on end if you don't live in Japan, the reason why going to movie theatre's is also amazingly annoying especially for an anime movie of a well known ip is bc other anime fans will be there, yelling at the top of their lungs acting like children, I want to enjoy the show without having some deodorant dodging, manchild sitting next to me, it's also annoying for people who are big animation fans (people who actually like looking into the production process) bc we all usually like watching the show or movie over and over to understand each scene at its core and that's impossible to do until someone is able to leak it on a pirating site or until it's available on crunchyroll, there's also the issue of it being expensive, you having to buy tickets before they're bought out etc, making movies for already known ip's unless they're unique stories to that ip or another existing ip with no adaptation, or if they're unique stories entirely is dumb, nobody gives a crap about an mha movie with non canon characters that's disjointed chronologically, Toho just wants money.
@@itapproaches3484 I understand what you say but these days films have started to release around the same time globally. Like take haikyuu movie, they gave us a list of release dates and countries and it was fairly close to each other in the same month itself. For annoying fans and getting tickets before they sold out, you can just go to a theatre which is fairly empty. Anime movies usually lose their steam in few days so a lot of theatres get empty soon.
First time commenting this early
I actually think that FMAB has a lot that it does extremely well, but it has flaws that bring it down. I wouldn't agree with it is decent at nearly everything, and excellent at nothing, as I think that it is flawed in a lot of ways, but excels at certain things.
Agree that the big three is quality, but I think that a lot of people say they are the GOATs or say that they are trash, but they are simply just good manga.
People say Ymir is a plot device because her perspective and reasoning for her actions in the end fell apart. It's not that she drives the plot forwards but that it's in a way most people don't REALLY believe makes sense for her at all(most people because there's barely anyone who says they love her character in the end, they just love other things which are demonstrated by you agreeing she's a plot device and not going into the logic of her actions). That's what a bad plot device is - something which didn't manage to hide the author's intentions(move the plot in a specific direction) as an actual character /thing that could happen based on what was set up. In the end it felt like her character WAS Isayama for a lot of people and everything else was an excuse which didn't make sense to them. (I dropped aot post basement reveal because it felt to me like "what if Claymore but poorly fleshing out an entire rest of the world for only 30 chapters after so we could have the rumbling" when I appreciated claymore for them NOT starting a new war on the continent.)
You're so snarky and even though that's fun in other videos, hot take videos are losing me!
I love ymir as a character.. I believe most people didn't get her character in the end..Let me explain..
Why did ymir go back to King Fritz after acquiring the Titan:- We have two perspectives on ymir from other characters,Eren and Armin.. They both come to different conclusions about her.. Eren tells us that she was in love with king Fritz.. this is what Eren thinks of her.. and Armin tells us that Ymir is seeking a connection.. That's why the Paths exist and every Subject of Ymir which are descendents of Ymir is connected by the Paths.. It's because Ymir was lonely her whole life and was seeking a genuine connection..That's why even when she got the biggest power in the world, she still went to the King that had sent dogs to kill her.. In my opinion Ymir has been lonely her whole life.. Historia's sister says about Ymir that she was a kind soul and always wanted to help others.. In the village before it was ravaged by king Fritz Ymir is shown to be helping others.. There is a scene of her looking at a wedding with a sense of wanting..For Ymir being lonely is the worst thing that could happen to her even if she has the power to destroy the world,She doesn't know what to do with that power..That's why she went back to the King that tried to kill her by feeding her to the dogs.. She literally can't think for herself.. She needs someone to be by her even if that person is a horrible human being.. I don't think she loves her like you see other characters love each other in a story or in real life.. She doesn't even know what a healthy relationship looks like.. Her going back to King Fritz is not because she had a girly crush on that king or something like that.. She is just there because of her fears..
I have seen so many abusive relationships and marriages like that in real life.. Like a person clearly doesn't like being in a relationship.. they know it's an abusive relationship and they are not happy being with their partner but they don't leave because it's more scary for them to leave their partners and to start fresh than let things be as they have always been.. and it's a sad thing to see but that's the reality..
Ymir to me is a child who is so scared to be alone and who can't think for herself that she thinks it's better for her to let king Fritz use her than to be left alone by everyone.. That's why the Paths exist and every Eldian is connected to her..That's why even after the King died she kept following his orders for 2000 years.. She knows king Fritz doesn't give a shot about her and she still lets him use her powers..
Ymir is such a great character..You have to really think about her character to appreciate her..
People are dumb..they are just ready to call something poorly written rather than use their brains and try to understand why certain things are there in a story..
You have a lot of bad takes. The big 3 is definitely better than most of the shows coming out now. Also Naruto is pretty good and is one of the best shows of all time.
most biased opinion i've seen all day
I've watched all and i kinda agree with what PP said ,if you rewatch the shows now ,you can tell that in your mind you dont remember the bad parts and just the highlights ,since its a long show ,people tend to forget ,i'd say the best take someone can have is to rewatch them now and tell me how you feel about them now .
The amount of filler Naruto has is painstakingly annoying. If any new anime has that same problem it would be trashed to oblivion. But that doesn't apply to Naruto why? Cuz it's a popular anime with a huge fan base that will look past all of its flaws
Time to hear some "hot takes"
Its funny how you defend bad Endings by just saying " People didn't like the ending because the show didn't end like how they wanted it to end. " With yhat logic every show's ending should be" Bad Ending" Coz a writer can never fulfill everyone's expectations.
So no one is allowed to like an ending because you did not like it.? What logic are you using.? No one is allowed to disagree
@@Justanormalperson777 im not saying that nobody is allowed to like a bad ending. If you like a bad ending there's nothing wrong in that. I also like some shows that people consider bad. But i dont defend and say it has good writing. When a show or ending is heavily criticized by majority of people, you can't just defend by nonsense logic like " Some people will always complain", " They didn't get what they were expecting, so they are angry", " You are not the author, so you cant complain ",etc. People always have expectations, does that mean people are always disappointed? Thats not the case. There are many ending which are heavily praised or they dont criticize it very much. There is a reason for that. Good writing are always praised and bad writing are Criticised.
That's how it works.

The FMA stuff is so silly to me. I've seen that exact sentiment before and this is what I wrote:
At the very least the structure and set up of it is pretty astonishing in its field. The structure because everything is so clear and important, nothing is really wasted, and the setup because of how instinctually moving and evocative it is. Shonens are usually designed to go on forever and aren't very evocative in what their protagonists want. They don't dig deep into the human experience in that regard. FMA's premise really has that timeless, spiritual richness, in its particular blend of fear and hope, physicality and fantasy, pathos and horror. Because the premise is so perfect I think Arakawa is able to build everything else on top of it a lot more seamlessly, its telling that its one of the only shonens of its length that is never split into "arcs" by fans. The work is too unified for that. Even the manga that are better than it can't boast that.
Really I'd say FMA is better at most things than most shonens. But premise and overall structure are the two things that I think Arakawa nailed so perfectly that I can more easily argue for them off the top of my head. I think my big question is, if not FMA, what's a manga that does do something super super amazing?
final question is silly. plenty of manga do things that are “super super amazing”.
FMA isn’t alone, or special, by the fact that it’s good and well written.
@@cwega2463 I didn't say it was the only one that does. I said in the comment that there are manga better than it, in fact.
As of now, I'm really confused as to what type of shows you more or less lean towards😅
Firstly, you loving shows like AOT and Psycho pass season 1 made me think you liked shows with complex themes and subtle nuanced storytelling with its primary focus on characters
But then you'd put one piece with its very emotional and on the nose style of storytelling and incredible worldbuilding leagues over Bleach's subtle and nuanced storytelling and emotionally complex characters, while also criticizing something like DS for its lack of subtlety
so what are the things you actually look for in stories that can make you fond of them, or rather prioritize in storytelling, or does it vary for different shows?
people like different things. there isn’t a set formula for things people like to see.
people can like both complex character based shows and silly action series that focus on fights and no plot.
@@cwega2463 ofc I completely agree with that, I mean PP's fav genre is slice of life...
I just wanted to know what type of "serious" action shows he gravitates towards

Part2 ??? Where is the part 1
Bungou Stray Dogs anime movie is "what's the point" type of deal.
Hello. Can you react and make analysis on the lord of the mysteries trailer?
When we gonna get a eating more arc from you bro.
Bro no offense but why you look so old compared to your calm voice 😅.
Btw, I recommend not naming videos like "part 2", most youtubers say that it destroys engagement, more vague/click-baity titles are recommended
Make a video on wistoria
Could I please ask, and i ask from the bottom if my soul,
Please read/watch, no read Radiant,
And my life shall be yours
The one piece is real!
Listen try to back frieren and days with my step sister as much as you want but stop trying to pretend like those two are really really good yeah frieren is good but not really really good(day with my step sister sucks). My reason is yeah the name is frieren journeys beyond end and yeah thats why the story isnt not going anywhere. But that doenst mean shit. If a story isnt enjoyable and kind of boring to watch or read you drop it or start hating it. just intensionally being boring doesnt make it different its just boring as it can get. Same goes for days with my step sister. In the video you made about day with my step sister You said its written to be boring and thats why its different and unique. Yeah i understand but dont you think that is the most laziest way to make a show different and unique. Why should you want something thats intentionally made to be boring when there's shows thats boring but actually trying to do something different in an creative way. Like bro stop pretending that these two shows is good. Yes they are good because frieren is animation carried (same goes for everything else exept for story) and days with my step sister is direction carried. (the animation is still bad though).
I thought days with my step sister was boring, but the animation was good, so your take doesn’t really make too much sense. I love Frieren anime, and ye, I agree that a show being boring on purpose doesn’t make it better. But you see, it’s all about expectations and taste. Not everyone is gonna agree with me, and not everyone is gonna agree with you. If you expected Frieren to be an exciting show full of action and thought, then you expected wrong, and that’s more on you than it is on the show. Frieren is objectively good, if it wasn’t then it wouldn’t have so many good reviews. If you don’t like it then it’s fine, but do keep in mind that it’s only your opinion, and the majority will not agree with you simply because you think differently.
@@infiniteshadow272 I agree to everything your are saying and yes I really enjoyed frieren. But the thing is this youtuber makes it seem like it's written be boring and yes it is but he's trying to make it look like making a show intentionally boring is good. Like no it isn't. Some might find it enjoyable because it's frieren but in days with my step sister it just isn't. Again the anime is good. One of the bet directed shows I have watched but that's it. It's boring and it's made to be boring and lots of people agrees to me as well. What I am trying to say is that stop trying to make it look like when a story is intentionally written to be boring it's objectively good because it's unique. I hope you understand what I am saying. Again I don't find frieren to be a bad show. I really enjoyed it because characters and everything else is really enjoyable but the only issue is the story. Days with my step sister is the worst intentionally made to be boring shoes I have ever seen dawg. Hell eminence in shadows is far more enjoyable than that crap.
@@_BR3NDOoh so that’s what you meant lol. Sry I didn’t get what you were saying at first. I agree that we shouldn’t just say that a show is “written to be boring”, it sounds kinda stupid. I think what he means to say is that it’s the type of story that moves at a slower pace compared to others, or maybe he’s just trying to set expectations for the shows so that ppl don’t expect anything completely different.
@@infiniteshadow272 yes I agree with what he's saying about frieren because I actually found it enjoyable but not in this video in the video he made about days with my step sister that's what I was mostly focusing on in my comment.
lmao frieren is in no way boring. its made to be more relaxed and calming than the average shonen because thats the theme and the author cares more about a good story than milking the shit out of shonen jumps readers. from how you talk, i believe you’re probably very young and cant pay attention to a 1 minute clip without subway surfers gameplay to keep you entertained.
this probably pretentious guy needs more emotions
7:39 this honestly might actually be an issue of jrock and even pop rock music in general
6:10 Mob Psycho s3 ep8 from Hakuyu Go really impressed me, especially ending, I didn't expect to see the biggest Mob episode to be from these manga chapters and I read the manga before anime!
15:54 Bakuman mentioned. Let's go....
One of the best anime and manga of all time for me
5:08 ok now THAT'S some bullshit. "Character is disabled so of course she's a plot device you should expect it" is a horrible argument.
He never said the ending was perfect
16:10 BUT, can you though..!!!??
11:43 BROTHER, might I suggest.....ONE PACE(even if you knew alredy)
