1. bad characterization
2. thematic flatness
3. lackluster execution of setting
4. bad cinematography
5) Fanservice Overdose in like the first episodes
Denki Kaminari that's what almost turned me away from Rokudenashi...Akashic Records. I stayed for the characters though.
its a great anime if you think thats a bad anime your taste is close to shit.
@@raphielle. Ummm.... mind giving some reasons why besides just insulting people?
@@tastiersleet3502 Lol fuck you kid
as a general rule, if an anime calls its protagonist an otaku, the entire anime is just going to be the mangaka's weird fantasies played out on screen
aka: loli harem
Real
except konosuba ig
I mean, Wotakoi is genuinely wholesome, and the whole theme is all of them being otakus, doesn't really go into weird fantasies except for one-off jokes
i mean konosuba is a parody show so it makes sense why its an exception@@Boblox_hecker
How to spot a terrible anime rules:
- The name of the anime is just a dumb phrase or something generic like: "Sword Hero" or "I fought dragons for 20 years but i can't speak to a woman!"
- The protagonist is edgy, almost omnipotent.
- Harem.
- plot that evolves to freaking nothing.
- jokes aren't funny.
- Unecessary Gore everytime.
and that is why Re Zero is my favorite isekai
I think an exception for the first point would be Demon Slayer. The name looked so generic to me I didn't even realize it was a real anime, let alone a popular, highly rated one. Now I'm reading the manga and honestly I'm genuinely enjoying it that I still can't believe it's called freaking _"demon slayer"_ 💀
@@gwyneth8306 giga chad
@@fuzzbutt4551 i believe the english title of demon slayer went through an attack on titan moment. iirc the actual title of demon slayer is blade of demon destruction or something like that and aot is actually called attack titan/attacking titans. basically, the English title is whatever they want to translate it as
@@thatweirdodaniel I knew about the demon slayer titles since I read the manga and there was a page with all the scrapped titles, but I didn't know about "attack/attacking titans" 💀
"You shouldn't only just watch the most popular anime", they said
"Watch some of the less popular ones too, they're kind of good" they said
_gets unnecessary fanservice shoved in my face each time_
I mean, sometimes you get it even in the popular ones. So frustrating 😫
me looking at fire force be like:
It's gotten to the point I'm seeking out anime that doesn't do this. Even then, female characters are always somehow tied to romance.
can someone tell me the name of this anime I forgot about it and really want to enjoy it again it's the one with the red clothings,glasses and playing video game

@@Sigreus This is legit one of the reasons why I dropped FF. Even the name of that girl's curse "Lucky Lecher Lure" made my skin crawl... it's the guys around the cute girl that are lucky, and not a living nightmare for her to be constantly groped or stripped naked no matter what she tries to do (or the guys around her intend.)
This was made worse when people tried to defend it by saying she, and her curse, get developed later. In fact, her character isn't introduced until later in the manga because of this. But then someone else convinced him to insert her character in early.
Just to be fan service. So she does nothing for the first chunk of the series. No plot relevance. No character development. She's just there to be groped and get nekid for the viewer.
And there were some other little things that got under my skin. In fact, the more I watched the more I could nitpick. I really loved the first episode but was left feeling hoodwinked. Especially disapointing because this was the Soul Eater guy.
if i see fanservice shoved into my face on the first episode, im dropping it.

@@LumiLiz bruh i've seen you on berleezy danganronpa videos
My strategy is: if there's more oversexualization and not enough story or humor to compensate it, then it's not good enough
Agreed. I hate it when that happens.
Gotta say prison school first episode was a lil funny but I thought they were creepin hard with it and was put off but luckily I watched the rest of it cause it one of the funniest anime I’ve ever watched
Oh no, thee girls in high school are oversexualized.
That never happens in real life.
Girls in real life are prefect saints who stay pure until they get married.
@@POIUYTREWQ62 that's not what I said. I'm talking about fan service, even if girls do get oversexualized in real life, I prefer to avoid it. In real life, that's their personal life, so I go on with mine, in fiction, it's my entertainment, so I go to other stuff instead. It's not about the purity of real life girls, it's about my own purity
Absolutely
Remember kids 90% of "war" in anime is teenage kids, one dead friend, and some broken buildings. Maybe a few mechs.
Because lord knows we can't adress the actual dehumanizing sadism that humanity will enact upon former friends when war occurs. That won't sell these plastic models.
I miss old Gundam.
@@jironamos7650 In fairness dude gundam has struggled with the problem of how to potray war even since the first series. Early stuff did what it could (sometimes pretty well) but it still wanted to sell the models. Then again War in the pocket. Managed to get across some themes pretty well.
But im not here to criticize you. You are right ill take old gundam over new any day.
@@robber233 I mean, before the inception of models and Bandai capitalizing, Gundam was pretty good, it wasn't always Bandai taking advantage of the property before, in fact, that started around Victory Gundam, Gundam started as adult novels that properly portrayed war and the animation was just adaptations of that with character changes, for example, Amuro was set to die in the first one and Char would take over as a main character but the anime decided to keep Amuro as the main.
The other 10% is Full metal alchemist
@@patheticplague9359 id say fma is 5% and the other 5% is some rare anime gem ive never heard of but would love if i saw.
(Gotta give myself some hope)
Here's the real trick: There is no terrible anime if you have no taste!
Mah man!!
That's me after watching anything and saying it was good or ok

Same that's why SAO is one of my favourites. But in time I learned to notice bad shit. Still enjoy SAO tho.
Anime is trash

No I don't think I will

There is more to the character than not being weak,

case-by-case basis. always. it's a little like dating.
curious about where the story is going next? keep watching.
seems amazing right out of the gate? keep watching, but exercise caution.
just not invested at all? drop it. there will be no second date.
I completly agree
just judge a book by it's cover.
got it
@@jayeisenhardt1337 that would be judging it by its synopsis and... uh... not sure what to call the main image representing an anime...
one episode or three episode rules are more like going into a library, picking up a book, and deciding whether to take it with you or not based on a few chapters, not just a synopsis or... I guess cover art is what I should say?
@@jayeisenhardt1337 People who judge by a cover always get it right.
man you women are more shallow than i thought... never willing to give people a chance, always tossing aside anything that isnt immediately useful or appealing to u. maybe you wouldnt only attract fuckboys if u realized life isnt all about instant easy pleasure. there are a lot of guys and shows that would be amazing if u werent so judgemental LMAO😂
The concept of Gate was done much better in the Destroyerman book series. Basically a WWII destroyer gets sent to another world and has to fight a hoard of velociraptors called Grik. Naturally, even one destroyer has enough firepower to decimate a fleet of Grik ships, but they have no support, no way to resupply, and no idea whats going on in this very hostile new world. They're powerful for the moment, but it wont last forever. The JSDF never have that level of tension, none of the characters feel like they struggle with anything. The only moment which the characters could have been at risk, they're saved by a flight of attack helicopters. Honestly if the series was just about the main character and his squad scouting deep in the unknown world, too far from easy rescue by the rest of the JSDF, I think it would have been much much more interesting.
That wouldn't have happened since the original light novels author made the main character a self insert
Or you could take the psychological route. What feels like a field trip to a fairy world with a harem and frontline ensured safety could quickly devolve into hell. The new satient creatures could turn out too unpredictable, unstable and complicated for humans to understand and eventually be anihillated or die from Earth pathogens like the native Americans, while the GATE would become basically a Middle East with its unending conflict of native sociaties now enhanced with human superpowers as their de jure suporters and de facto overlords. I mean, isn't it easy to drop nukes over a land you know nothing about, but one that is rich underground and dangerous on the surface? Imagine humans learning how to torture prisoners of war of different nervous systems with help of their lical foes. Somewhere in that world our disillusioned protagonist would cheerish his nerly saved life as a mercenary/stalker and over time learn to coexist with whatever is left of the fantastical creatures, ones that he considered friends (or perhaps sth more), then animals, then just different people from a different world again
It also reminds me of an anime/manga that I really enjoyed called Zipang, where a modern Japanese destroyer gets sent back in time in the middle of the Pacific during WW2.
Zinpang was a really good one, mainly since there was a lot of political tension in the air. The crew wanted to help out their fellow country men but didn’t want to change the course of history and were fully aware of how Japan was a fanatic oppressive military dictatorship and the imperial government would probably take their ship for themselves.
As for Itami he is the worst self insert, dumb lazy otaku that never wants to do any work but somehow passes special ops training and is a ranger+delta force with the skill level of fucking captain price. And you know all these skills are last second shoe horns as it’s always other people talking about his skill and not him. I mean you learn about how amazing he is through people saying it not showing.
@@Gdsryrox Wait, they acknowledge their war crimes in zipang? Never seen that before from Japan.
How to recognize a bad anime:
Watch it. If you don't like it, don't watch it.
Such mad genius!
Usually I watch 2-3 episodes, if art style looks good. That's around 30 minutes to decide if I want to watch more.
Anime Frank?
Thanks Anne. Frankly I never took you as the anime watching type.
Exactly
For me, if the MC is either a pervert or a nice oblivious guy that for some reason all the attractive females fall for. I know that's a market for certain demographics but it just ain't for me.
Same, I just want a serious or a normal one -_-
But they usually go nuts for the slightest thing every 5 seconds
Hi Satok
Yep. Those are infuriating.
Give them more substance.
@@hallucin827 kazuma
Sam
my dealbreakers for ANY anime no matter the genre:
- if they dump a bunch of exposition on you without even attempting to weave it intelligently into dialogue.
- if the main character is an asshole to women (especially if they still fall all over him afterwards)
- unnecessary gore
- fan service
- if every thematic idea is clobbered over your head without leaving anything to inference, and/or the viewer is just treated as unintelligent.
this also goes for regular tv as well, just anime more so.
Ooo your tastes align with mine, do you have any recommendations? (ik this was a year ago but still)
So you don't like main character like Jotaro?
oh i had the same thought 😂
@@alexaalexa2308 can't say I do, no
@@alexaalexa2308 Jotaro is trash that appeals only to teenage boy perception of edgy. I can't put into words how f*cking much I hated his arc and how glad I was when it finally ended.
The first episode of "to your eternity" was the best and most heart wrenching introduction to an anime I've ever seen
Completely agree with this. Honestly, it has such a strong start that I’m mildly disappointed by the rest of the show because of it.

Basically every isekai anime: otaku gets stuck in game or fantasy world with magic
Basically every harem: one tsundere, one shy girl, one childhood friend, one social girl, one happy girl.
Yeah they only try to sell product and attract perverted and lonely anime fan. If only they try to just make a good story
@@OND30 this, and I dislike the fact that it’s just encouraging people to be like those perverted main characters. What’s wrong with the writer?
@@alyxrycx7862 *M O N E Y.* They love money
Generic shit genre :/
The first thing I thought when I read the harem was:
One tsundere: Natsuki.
One shy girl: Yuri.
One childhood friend and social girl: Sayori.
One happy (wait is she counted as happy?) and social girl: Monika.
I mean no one asked but this was just the first thing that appeared in my head-
Fun fact: the coin that was flipped at the beginning of this video is known as a United States Standing Liberty Quarter. They were made from 1916-1930 and are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Who asked? My half eaten ham sandwich did.
Edit: It’s actually a type 2 Standing Liberty quarter which can be identified by the stars under the eagle, as opposed to no stars under on the type 1. The type 1 was only made from 1916-1917 and Lady Liberty had an exposed breast. When the public outraged that there was a nude woman on a coin, the US mint made a modified design where she is wearing a chainmail breastplate, which would be the type 2 design. The type 2 was made from 1917-1930.
TLDR; the quarter is a type 2 Standing Liberty quarter made from 1917-1930. This one does not have a naked woman on it like the type 1 does.
did you ever finish the ham sandwich

Except for thow they treated the token black guy.
You’re all fools. iCarly was clearly the superior anime

Why do the coolest and most interesting of concepts usually ends up mediocre? It’s so painful to me...
yes!! this! i get so excited for this one thing only to get disappointed by everything
It’s usually terrible execution. Close to all concepts have potential to be god stories, but it always depends on how well the writer can execute it.
@@mreverything7056 they alwags end up catering it to the 'male otaku'™ audience :(
kel I feel you. I always enjoy anime that feels like it’s not targeting a specific audience. It makes the story’s messages and powerful moments not feel like it’s being shoved down your throat.
@@mreverything7056 I disagree, it is not as much about execution than it is about the ending itself. There are a million ways to expand a story, but there are always only a couple of ways a story can end reasonably, and most of them are predictable. It you look back carefully, a lot of the disappointment you get is not really because how ridiculous or mediocre the ending is, but because how predictable or unsurprising it is compared to the way the story started and developed. And regarding those that truly had a terrible ending, I think it is also about expectation, the producers are expected to make the ending grand and mind-blowing, and they ended up blowing it up.
The random cuts to people in GATE is to establish a feeling of normalcy that is about to be disrupted rather than just establishing the place itself. Think of the quaint, home village in an rpg whose purpose is to burn down 10 minutes later. The time on screen is to establish how fast the attack happened and the 'amazing response time of the awesome JSDF' since the show is a Japanese version of Michael Bay's military fetish. I agree with the rest.
yea but it isnt done well
The only thing that dragged me into GATE is the military aspect, seal clubbing medieval knights with guns. It gives me dopamine
same
Exactly, feel the same way
It's a turn off your brain have fun kind of anime after all and not really something that takes itself too seriously nor something you should take seriously. So yes I agree 100% I too enjoyed it because of that
For me it was the Nazis getting clobbered and military aspect. really it gets bad though lol, it's so bad it's hilarious.
GATE could've been cool if the author was actually dedicated to fleshing it out instead of making a glorified JSDF recruitment pitch with hints of ultra nationalist war apologia.
You know its a bad anime when they start with pervert scense from the first episode and the anime has only like 12 episodes
What the frick are you watching?
I like harem anime...some harem anime and I read the description and like it sounds good but the overly sexual stuff turns me off the first minute and click off
@zenitsu agatsuma where are the pervert extra sexual hentai scense?
No game no life...
The 12 episode part is absolute bullshit cuz there are so many great shows that are only 12 episodes like bunny girl senpai, grand blue or erased
Instructions clear.
Watched assassination classroom and had the best experience ever. And cried for 4 days after the ending.

How to recognize a bad anime:
Watch it instead of listening to what other people say about it
The question is.... For how long?
@@freddiem6805 Until you can recognize what made it so trashy for your taste. I dropped shit like Shikimori in the middle of episode 2 because it literally repeats what the entirety of episode 1 does and I dropped Murabito A after speedrunning 4 episodes in 20 minutes just because it was as predictable and shit as any other generic isekai anime that has no good animation and effort.
How to reconize a bad anime :
if majority of people say its a bad anime, then maybe because it is a bad anime.
@@Gundumb781 not really, nowadays people hates particular anime just because other people hates it. i've seen cases of it, especially in the world of novels. it's suprisingly easy to lead internet people's opinion. just like the OP said, it's better to watch it yourself
Especially if the guy's criticism is flawed
His criticism about how the anime introduced the protagonist irks me, he complains about the protagonist being an otaku as his only personality but after that he described him as a "stupid asshole" and this guy clearly don't know that to introduce a character showing is more essential than telling, this guy is an incompetent critic

What you got: Anime Girl premise

I’d like to see an SAO that was more psychological and horror focused without a harem
There’s a manga that makes it just better overall, SAO Progressive. Idk if the harem is still a big part of it but it’s better that’s for sure.
That would be cool! Because let's be honest, Kirito lived the best live in there, but many others, like that guy whose name I don't remember but is Yuna's friend, and even Kirito's old clan. It would be awesome to see Sao's true perspective, if you play Sao based games, you will see that many escenarios are kind of creepy, or are not really like the magic world that it's shown in the anime.
uhhh, do you mean Re:Zero ????
Alfa. That would be good too, but I’m more ok with the Re:Zero harem than the Sao harem. Every single girl in existence is just automatically attracted to Kirito.
Alicization... But is a shame that you need to past all the past history...
Funny thing is that I liked GATE, but all the points you made good and accurate and resonated with me. What I now realize is that the reason I liked it then was because it was one of my first shows I watched so I didn't have much reference.
Me and Inuyasha. I remember the manga being alright to good, but the anime fell off fast.
The first anime i watched was konosuba
i like GATE...and some of his points was good but some was just trash???
but i dont care 'cause i actually just oiked GATE because i was looking for mangas and animes with guns in fantasy world
It was a fun show, and was a great break from high stakes story telling of other shows.
The military stuff is cool, so at least it's got all that going.
I don't think every show is supposed to be high stakes story telling, but it for sure doesn't excuse any bad writing or bad characters.
(Hot take but I dislike Rory with a passion, generally annoying character)

@@adaon2282 and even that Mikasa fanservice is a very short sequence in a comical OVA episode, not the main story. Also, both male and female characters wear the same uniforms, not over-sexualized bikinis you'd expect in other anime, and no ridiculous hairstyles either. The only thing that could closely come to fanservice is the Female Titan, but even that goes away once you see how dire the situation is when she starts killing everyone.
SAO was a good starting anime, but later you'll realize how bad it was. In conclusion, you have to watch the bad animes to appreciate the good ones.
Death Note was my starting anime. At 19. I'm glad it was. SAO was my second anime though and at that age I loved it. Hate it now. Basically the only action-driven anime I watch now are AoT and Gundam. I've been enjoying the emotionally driven anime much better.

@@aim-9sidewinder550 of which one?... doesn't matter actually the answer is no lol. I don't read manga.

I still think the first half of SAO season 1 was fairly good, Second half was kinda alright, Mostly meh, Everything after that is garbage.
Even thought that at the time.
Stil watched 3 fucking seasons.
The GATE was so disappointing the only clips of it I revisit are the action between the military and gate ppl the concept was so frustratingly good I can't help but keep thinking about how a tweak here and there would've made it so much better
Magic. Show us how these "primitives" have advanced with magic in place of technology. Their armaments, composition, tactics, all of it are based around using magic. Show us a back-and-forth as BOTH sides take heavy losses early on because they just can't prepare proper countermeasures against tactics and abilities they could never even conceive of in our mundane world. Have them only just barely fend off that first attack largely because of home-field defender advantage, like calling in more reinforcements to overwhelm the enemy.
Then show us some military brass debriefing soldiers and scrambling to develop new strategies against this new threat. Have the protagonist use his genre-savvy nature as an otaku to suggest new counters or how they should proceed. When they counter-invade the GATE, show us how the JSDF has adapted to the new threat well enough to establish that beachhead.
That alone would greatly improve the series. Instead of the JSDF just steamrolling everything, show us how they have to adapt their tactics and really work for those victories instead of being OP from the start. Hell, have them form alliances with some of the lesser kingdoms in the area to form a confederation against the Big Tyranny Empire bossing everyone around. Show us army tactics that include a mix of modern infantry being supported by an elite group of dark elf assassins and fucking dragoons flying through the air. Show us some golems getting heavy-artillery mounted on top of them.
Just really RUN with the swords and sorcery meets modern military setting.
@@duncanlutz3698 Honestly even just smaller spells like sound amplification (bursting soldiers' ear drums while they're firing because of it). Or something that decays all foodstock within a certain radius. Things so incredibly simple but possibly vital as all hell. But yeah the magic in place of technology idea always sounded like a way cooler idea.
@@duncanlutz3698 That wouldn't happen because Gate is a Japan-pride propaganda written by some dude who admitted that he hates other Asian countries.
@@somethingwithultra7231 the problem is they don't have the science to back their magics
decay food stock, then ya got MRE and the decay wont hit them effectively
sounds to kill like a banshee spell vs the distance and noise pollution
they don't know what or how to hit things effectively unless it was like the mage with the MC times 10, and she was already OP
The most effective might be the simple sleep. I dunno how close the town is the base, but the army sneak attack at night died a mile away. The assassin got in, so a mage plus sleep and a few more warriors and you could kill many. It would force them to learn to protect against that. Then coffee and energy drinks. How so many people already always drugged up and never think about it. After a few losses though not much of an overall effect, so maybe steal our weapons to learn something.
Also any loss invites China, Russia and the US into their world. Plus maybe many other nations. So a few kills all to get the big boys coming to play.
@duncanlutz3698 Why should they have Magic in place of Technology. It isn't like we as humans needed magic to function at any point in history. Remember that they are the dominant empire in their land... till they step into the modern day. It doesn't make sense they would have ANY way or knowledge on how to beat the JSDF. It is like we suddenly had a portal that opened up and stayed open but led to a similar dimension to us but they are in the year 750 and we are in 2023. Gate is realism based with fantasy elements not fantasy based with realism elements but to each their own.
The thing I liked about gate was the battles were generally realistic, it doesn't play out well as a series but Isekai type societies would get absolutely crushed but modern militaries
I dunno, there's quite a few that would put up a fight.
Entirely depends how much magic and super powers are involved. There are some where you would need legitimate nukes to take down high level warriors and mages are out there manipulating time and altering reality.
Then there are others where a machine gun solo's god.

@@lobsterfan Oof, tbh I don't think that's really a good option, I mean, I don't have any problems with that but there are lots of people who might get annoyed with that... But yeah, there are also other options to do with the harem, they can get killed too xD.
Steven Chinchilla They could also make it so that some of them never liked Kirito in the first place lol
in my opinion, i’m okay with the harem because kirito is actually decisive. unlike spineless wimpy dick typical anime mc in infinite stratos, accel world or asterisk war. one of my recommendations is arifureta. this anime too have a harem but the mc treats everyone coldly showing signs of annoyed by his harem on his face most of the time. he also keeps stating to his harem that no one will be special to him except for his current girlfriend meaning that the mc is very decisive. anyone who tries to seduce him is immediately shot with a gun. literally. well. with a rubber bullet. while this anime have a really good plot, the main problem of this anime is for its bad animation. considering how much budget they had and how little time they had to make the anime adaptation for the first season is quite understandable. plus, the anime skipped quite a few plot points which convinced me that they weren’t expecting to be able to make a second season. i recommend you to read the light novel as the anime made it as if they nerfed hajime a lot. like. A LOT. since arifureta is getting a second season, i’m hoping that they have better animation since they hve more time and budget to meddle with it right now. let me tell you again, the light novel is reaaallllyyy good. the point is, i don’t care about the harem if the mc is decisive unlike the more moaning- spineless-wimpy-typical-selfless-wanting-to-be-nice-to-everyone dick MC *pst pst* (asterisk war, infinite stratos, accel world)
@Dampfkartoffel Oh, I see you have the same opinion that I have. The manga is way better. Is not the best, but is better than the anime.
I cant tell you how many friends of mine just refuse to watch Evangelion on the fact that its mecha alone. I got one to watch it, he now claims he "wants to gut his past self for saying it was generic."
@@pppoopoo4880 so your saying if I say evangelion is trash you will eat my ass.
Evangelion is trash.
I basically explained it to my friends as a subversion of the mecha anime genre.
@@justindorthewonderwizard645 Oh shit oh fuck-
@Lunar Night "Characters don't delevop in Evangelion" that's the funniest shit I've read all week.
Jokes aside, it's the latter half of the show, and especially the last two episodes and the End of Evangelion movie, which really goes off the scale in terms of character building and credibility.
@Please Complete All Fields yeah try reading The Lord of the Rings after reading other fantasy books (one of the greatest and most exciting but generic nowadays bc it was made in the 1950s when there WAS nothing like it)
Wish an history anime could be made in the perspective of an ordinary man in the given era. No fantasy bullshit, just history.
Vinland saga, kind of
You'll like Golden Kamuy then, it's pretty underrated
I feel like criticizing the battles in gate doesn't work considering it's trying to be realistic since the og light novels were written by an ex JSDF troop. Even the mortar loading scene they use proper terminology, "half load, impact in 3, 2, 1", plus modern shells can penetrate and melt steal what we're you expecting with a fight from a dragon, especially if they use heat seaking missiles on a fire breathing dragon. That's literally just a free kill.
Since the world of Gate was a fantasy world filled with mages that can cast explosions out of nowhere and other bull s h i t. Then facing off against the JSDF shouldn't have been a curb stomp because the Empire should be adapted to the same type of attacks that the JSDF was capable of doing. But they weren't.
The Empire moved in line formation, even though a single mage can just wipe a massive portion of them out in a single shot. And then we also saw that the Empire never employed a large number of mages in their armies. Apparently the reason they didn't employ mages is because they take too long to cast a spell. Even though we see Lelei and every other mages the characters met are perfectly capable of using their magic in combat.
The other problem with the military in Gate is that we don't see the JSDF use any tactics. The military would just show up, start shooting. And then the fight ends. The only time I see actual tactics used in the show was during the first parts of the Battle for Italica. And that's where the JSDF played a minimal role at first, then the when the JSDF appeared all tactics went out the window.
The battle scenes were flashy, but boring. The Empire will always lose because the Empire is apparently led by lobotomized crackheads.
Which is perfectly fine, I'm just wondering how the fact that Empire exist if it doesn't adapt to its environment, uses antiquity-era tactics in a world where a 15 year old can flatten a whole village by herself, and doesn't use its world's unique features (like its magic) to its advantage.
How the hell did they even conquer Falmart if their main strategy is to feed their troops into useless meat grinders.
It's realistic to how the JSDF functions sure but they really kneecapped the other world's power. It's not really a good story when your protagonist's force just steamrolls the enemy.
The first thing in SAO that threw me off was this MASSIVE time skip over the most interesting parts (i.e., how players survive in this world) in favour of introducing our protag who is now the bestest player on the server and is virtually indestructible for most enemies. Fucking 'a'
I know in like the 2 episode it’s 2 years In the future a lot of content loss
sao was one of the first animes i watched when i was younger and i’m still surprised today to see people talking about it still
Not all Light Novel parts can be adapted into an anime y'know.
sao was one of the first anime’s i believed i watched? i liked season one and dropped the others - but i don’t remember if this was confirmed or not, but a few months back i heard they’re making an anime that actually goes into detail about their lives inside of the virtual game? again, i don’t know if it was confirmed or not but if it does happen it’ll probably be better than the first sao
"guys i did some mining off-screen"
is it just me who thinks that having an anime character be an otaku is just a cheap trick to get hardcore anime fans to like that character?
True
Also, anime adapted from light novels wherein the protagonist is this famed secret light novel author.... Hahahahahahahahahahaha, oh dear.
*cough*alphys*cough*
I thought that was the reason, is that not the case? The main character being an otaku is an easily relatable feature for the viewers without actually developing the character, easy money with minimal effort.
Gladeader567 I dunno about you, but I never managed to identify with that kind of character... ^^' Most of the time, I find them disgusting and annoying and I feel more insulted than anything -_- They are just so linear and unidimensional that they do not even feel like... Well, freaking characters! But, hey, I don't even watch anime anymore (maybe one or two a year) so who am I to judge?
Rather than a 3 chapter rule, i use a 6 chapter rule. I've noticed a lot of anime drop most of what they have prepared to engage their audience in chapters 1 through 5, but then some writers don't know how to keep the pacing and start putting very weak plot points starting somewhere near chapter 6 (Shield Hero, Scum's wish, to name a few).
I personally enjoyed Gate because it reminded me of the time when I first watched Stargate, when i was wondering, *what would happen if, instead of finding other civilizations and getting technology from them (and fight with some of them), we were the invading civilization? (or in this case, taking sort of a revenge* invasion); another thing that i find as a nice detail, is the troubles they initially have with having different languages, since it would be pretty strange for people from another world to *miraculously* know how to speak English (or in Gate's case, japanese), while also showing the hassle that is dealing with political views about this situation on the homeland (Russia, China and USA trying to kidnap some of the otherworlders for their own benefits)
if you were disappointed by Gate, you should read the manga 'Nihonkoku Shoukan', which is a geopolitical and military manga about the entire country of japan being "summoned" (i.e. teleported) to a fantasy world. It's very interesting since the world is split into countries by technology, which go from feudal to victorian, so you can see the JSDF kick ass against a wide variety of opponents.
I know it's not just me who hates harem anime 😑, well some harem animes are pretty good, but most aren't.
Yep
Agreed
Some are shit tbh.
@@haruito6073 most
Facts, I hate harem and isekai genres as a whole. Don’t want to generalize, but from what I’ve seen...they’re usually not that good. Of course they’re exceptions I’ve heard like Re:Zero (isekai) or something like that, but I still hate the genres.
The like to dislike ratio is strong. Must've insulted someone's favorite anime
The guy is just a normies pretending to like anime, that's why
Or you just don’t like anime and you have bad taste in anime. Imagine being so idiotic to leave a dislike instead presenting an analysis on why he’s wrong but nope triggered shounen fan boys like to dislike because their tiny brains can’t come up with an argument.
@@travis2950 First of all, I'm not a shounen fan but maybe yes, I am what you call having bad taste on anime. From my perspective, this guy is critizing everything he does not like, not even try to accept or appriciate it. "What's the point showing the guy is playing video games right after the narrator explained that he is an otaku?" Like srsly you gonna ask that? The narrator just explain about mc characteristics and he playing the video game is just a part of story that later on will be important in the anime. Also for example here 22:46 What do he expect the author need to put? The story just started not even 5 minutes so it is understandable to put " video game" characters on the train, and what you expect from a low budget anime? You want the whole video game should be cute like "Metal Upa" so you will be satisfied? And what did he say? The anime is slow pace and many unnecessary scene? The unnecessary time he said is the history of the event. Maybe you would ask what's the importance for viewers? It's true the time won't be useful later on but it is still important for the story to tell, when the exact time the whole anime, the motive of the anime started. Silly expression? That's what you get from a low budget and for me, the expression is okay if not best. We still understand that they are scare that time so stop complaining too much about a few frames that you barely see. About the camera, I have many want to say but this is getting too long and I have watched Gate since last 2 year and I love it. And sorry for my english, I'm an asian and we here know how to appreciate others. If you say it is just his opinion then no, the way he talk is like he don't want anyone to watch the anime or do not ever watch the whole series just because the first episode is bad. The way he criticize is too bad, imagine if you're the director, what would you feel? Ofc everyone want to make an anime with high quality, nice design, superb animation but do you really think if they can't get those they should not make anime? Normies yep, if you haven't notice how "otaku" in japan is, you better check it up. That is also one of the reason I still call shounen fan a normies still, because they lack of culture, love towards Moe-ness and knowledge about the country itself. I just rewatch 10% of the video and this is all I got, sorry if I can't make a longer argument since it is 6am already and I don't think I will reply to this comment. You never know how much time an asian would spent just to make an essay like this, and there is still many I want to say but I don't think westerners can understand. Not being racist but that's just a fact
@@Muhaiz Dude you are on absolute crack if you think I am reading all of that. I skimmed through the whole thing and it’s juts basically you crying. But anyways you’re just a casual this guy is just stating his opinion and I agree. Gate is complete trash and so is the story. Anyone who disagrees obviously has never read book. But these shounen retards need their pictures in manga.
@@Muhaiz It has nothing to do with race I don’t care if you’re Asian or I’m a Westerner you moron, if something is garbage than something is garbage. The reason anime like this exist is because of low level individuals such as your self. That will just eat up anything and overhype whatever is out. Read a book!!
I'm glad this is one of the few older videos you kept public on your channel, it's so good.
Bungou stray dogs is an absolute masterpiece
The first season was rather boring and introduced the main cast but it later on got really good
Plus one can see a lot of different Easter eggs from the real life authors the characters were based of
Like the picture in the museum that Dazai called funny was actually drawn by the real life dazai
And Fyodor saw himself as a god because of the book crime and punishment by Fyodor where the MC got away with a crime and thought that he might be a higher being

@@mitsuhas i think nise is before kizu
The execution is what sets most anime's apart in my opinion. Like you said, an anime can have an incredible premise but the execution makes it just horrendous to look at. Take for instance Re:Zero, at first glance it's just another generic isekai with every possible cliche characters you can think of. For example: Emilia's the innocent but hard working one, Roswaal's the obligatory extravagant character, Beatrice's the tsundere loli, Ram's the kuudere, Rem's the deredere, Otto and Garfiel are the bros, Priscilla the kamidere.. you get the point. But by the end of the first episode, you realize this isn't your average isekai fantasy, and it's instead an actual world with lots of issues like ours is. And Subaru isn't portrayed as your stereotypical protagonist either, he feels human, with pros and cons of his own and you can relate to him in at least some way. The premise isn't that good but the anime itself has that charm that makes you keep watching. Plus, you can tell if an anime's good if jokes from literally 6 years ago like the low-tier joke "Who's Rem?" are still around.
I actually enjoyed Gate since i like the interaction between medieval with modern society.
If gate was more realistic they would just kill everyone kidnap the mages for weapon development and exploit the resources, that's it.
And then a good author would ask himself: "how would the characters do that?", "What could be the consequences for both worlds?", "How would the characters react?", ect...
To write a good story you have to always question it so that you can find what to say with it using the execution
Warcrimes exist.
That's what would happen if this was in America and there weren't gods on there side
Not necessarily, as establishing trade with local powers would be far more practical then just killing everyone
It is dissapointing that most people thinks that Phantom Blood is boring just because there are no weird jokes or stands

I think people like Jonathan less because they don’t understand his character. He is a gentleman who fights with honor and dignity. It’s rather different than other anime’s that make big fights with different styles, while Jonathan is just a buffed dude with a point in life.
And then we begin part 2 with Joseph, which is the opposite of Jonathan. His fighting style uses quick and intelligent thinking and uses his environment and less his muscular body. While it is extremely unpopular, I think those two opposites with the same settings one After the other is what started the series to be really good.
I am obsessed with a better executed Gate premise oh God I can't sleep at night I spend most of my work researching military technology and magical systems I almost got fired over it I just can't stop it eats away at my sanity please help
Also shoutout to that girl being so generic that I didn't recognize her at the thumbnail
Something that deserves credit in Japanese manga and anime is that one can literally make any concept, idea, or premise exciting. My Dress Up Darling, barebones, is about cosplay and tailoring. That's it. What makes it feel so much more is that it's half-education, half-humor in various forms. It has a good, human set of characters with human problems living in a human world that's so plain, but it's also so familiar to us that we connect to each character, how nervous we may feel when asked to do measurements or comments on another person's clothes or body while we find them attractive, while at the same time not wanting to be a sleazy douche in front of them. The problems of keeping up with promises, deadlines, dedication, being judged because you may like something that seems opposite to what you are. That's the appeal to Japanese entertainment media.
Doujins have this, too. I, personally, enjoy reading a Touhou Mahjong doujin. This is one of the most niche things possible for a Westerner or someone outside of Touhou, but it works. Even though I may not know anything at all about Mahjong, I know the characters, and the artist and author presents everything in aa way that I don't need to know the rules to know when a character is in a tense situation, or is making a big move, or is being a mastermind. Similarly, someone may not know a thing about Touhou, but would follow the Mahjong aspect and piece stuff together from there, and basically go in with the idea that it's plain Mahjong, but each character has a special power that affects how they play, and thus would get a hoot at what they could do, like a character who controls miracles managing to rack up immense, "impossible" points because of that, or another character controlling eternity to force constant continues and outlast her opponents. Stuff like that is what brings 2 people otherwise having little in common to liking this piece of work.
All in all, I'm ultimately typing this out before I've gone through even a quarter of the video, I just stopped upon hearing about how basic some premises are, yet their execution makes the entire thing enjoyable, and I just wanted to add my 2 cents.

guys , is gintama worth watching ?
Riva hell yeah it is
Honestly, I haven't watched enough quote-on-quote "Good" animes(meaning that everyone can agree that it's good) in recent times. Mainly because PG Netflix animes are kinda boring. But Honestly, I usually break it down in a logical sense, realistically speaking how would a certain fight or scene play out in real life? Now in terms of what would logically happen for Gate, Us humans would send a single bomb their way and the enemy has bows, arrows(maybe longbows), swords(all kinds), the stuff we had during the 15th to 16th century. I'm fairly sure an F22 Raptor or whatever Japan's equivalent to an F22 is> that kinda stuff, and it's only for animes with somewhat terrible plot devices.
Old equip and new uniforms, just in case it's a loss. Keeping the new tech at home as the trump card. Ya know if they happen to to lose outright or just be overwhelmed. Funny too as old steel Nam era gear is some of the best to carry your shit. Entrenching tool can take out many people just as they use sword, mace or axe. That is if it was the US going instead and went a bit older. When ya think of classic perfection of a C-130, then when it's made into a gunship. Yeah, perfect artillery but probably shit against wyvern riders.

I blame SAO for the shit loads of reincarnation into a game or another world type of tropes in mangas, light novels, and animes nowadays. It's literally a whole ass genre now like bruh
SAO was hardly the first anime to do the "trapped in a game" premise, nor was it the series that "put it on the map," either. Those honors, arguably, belong to the .Hack// series, which peaked in the early-mid 2000's.
SAO definitely has more mainstream influence, but saying it's responsible for the "virtual world" tropes we see today is like saying Naruto is responsible for time-skips in Shonen series (Dragonball did it first and did it best).
@@StrunDoNhor I agree SAO definitely wasn't the first one to do it, but it definitely aided in popularizing the trend started by other animes like the Hack series like you mentioned. It may not be responsible but its widespread success definitely popularized and influenced the rise of the isekai trope.
I think you are right in a way. But, I also blame the creators of the anime for ruining the manga. The manga is just fine. But they just made it a trashy, generic anime.
I prefer reincarnation manhwa. Sometimes reincarnation is there for no reason but other times the concept is explored and the consequences of being reincarnated are also shown. Reincarnation is a repetitive trope but it can be great when executed properly. Even if reincarnation is mentioned for the sake of it, the story ends up great based on how the mc adapts to the fantasy world and how they change it for the better. I tried reading and watching isekai manga and anime but there are a lot of cliches and repetitive characters. Whilst this is a problem in every genre, I feel manhwa is better at reincarnation concepts and fantasy. Thank you for reading my useless opinion and sorry you had to read this
Watch konosuba its an isekai but parodizes it
Hey, gate was an amazing show for one pure reason: I really wanted to see some shitty isekai world get fucked up by a fifty cal, and I got exactly that.
Lmao
Completely agree. But let's be real here , if they focused on anyone like ANYONE other than the protagonist like the General, or Japan prime minister , a random soldier it would be awesome.
On the second thought, I wish the entire season is just the military decimating the medival armies would be incredible.

Just found this video and while it's been a few years I can still appreciate the quality of it's analysis.
Anime I've learned to skip:
1) When MC's are obscenely over emotional, incapable of thinking with intelligence or frozen with the inability to take meaningful action.
2) When other characters are written as bland and singleminded with the same level of intelligence as a pet dog.
3) Any Isekai where magic exists with no application in daily living and industry.
4) When facial expressions/reactions are flat and frozen as is the background.
And while there are a ridiculous number of Isekai anime I find the premise of an alien tourist giving any fks at all about saving another world with near nil personal investment pretty b.s. After a couple of days most people would generally find something else appealing about being in another world and focus on that.
Number 1 is why I hate "Platinum End". Dude is such a coward. Its okay for characters to have a conscious but maybe not worry if killing is okay when your foe is a guy who plans to enslave the entire world. Like dude, seriously.

God exactly! Like, man, you do know you're allowed to like trash right? It's perfectly fine to enjoy trash, one of my favourite games is Fnaf Security Breach, it's absolute trash but I still love it while acknowledging it's shittyness.
So I actually watched the entire way through GATE because I always love the premise of isekai but almost never the execution. You're pretty spot on about what the rest of this looked like, and to be honest, if you asked me to tell you anything that happened during the following episodes, it would probably sound exactly like what you sound like describing the first episode. One of my big problems with this anime was that there were no challenges for the JDF, no matter how far along you get. Almost every episode was mostly just about how technologically advanced the JDF was in comparison to the people from another world. I can't really tell you why I watched all the way through it, other than because I kept hoping it would get better? But I got really annoyed with the typical all-the-cute-girls-are-inexplicably-fascinated-with-the-boring-protagonist thing.
I thought the anime's message was clear: Join the JSDF. You probably won't get shot at and, if you do, you are probably in a country so messed up that you can satisfy whatever sick Otaku fantasies you have.
I don't know, I saw it all and enjoyed it a lot. My only complaint was not getting more seasons(and who the fuck cares about the opening), I honestly didn't like this review at all, it feels like a severe over analysis and even a bit biased, not picking every little detail that could easily just be ignored(like complaining about a visual effect on a damn cloud or a drawing on a door of the metro we won't ever get to see again), a lot of this seem to be just the guy's personal preference, it also does make sense that they never faced a major threat other than political affairs as that's the gap of development between the two words and magic doesn't even seem to be that much developed it wouldn't make any sense for it to be any different.

@Champa Nah fam. You have Reddit tier comment.
@Champa it means saltier than the sea.
I liked gate, let's be honest there no way dudes in armor and goblins and other monsters are gonna beat a well trained modern military.
sure there is: magic. if we give them a completely alien force that we have no way to predict or plan against, they become a very real threat. imagine a guy in a suit of enchanted armor. A tank shell is flying right at him. He manages to raise his shield just in time, and you'd expect him to be horribly exploded despite that, but his shield begins warping the air. a whirlwind explodes out of it, and the shell gets thrown off into the distance where it detonates, while the guy in a suit of magical armor is unharmed.
if it's a world full of magic, which, let's face it, there's dragons so obviously, then they'd reasonably weaponize that magic as much as they can and arm as many soldiers as possible with it before sending them to fight an enemy, just like how we're a world with guns, so, you know, we give guns to all of our soldiers.
@Felipe Correia Borges exactly! hell, you don't even need an army. if the magic exists to teleport something, you can put some tungsten rods 600 miles in the air to essentially nuke a target, with NONE of the radioactive fallout. and if we tried to do that with technology, we'd only be able to do it in a specific launch window when the orbit of the launching satellite is over the target to drop the rods.
I mean the Ethiopian's defeated a modern European army at the time and they had a bunch of guns and veteran soldiers from a civil war and wars of independence.
Bruh this GATE isekai world isnt like any op isekai piece of crap there is no way a grand mage in that universe can summon a 900 ton tungsten (heck you need an grand alchemist to summon that) when the strongest people there can't even defeat 2 - 3 dragons and that world also be really peaceful since there are no demon kings... Probably the world is in a peace stage after the world was saved by a great hero a century ago cliche so the magic is degenerating. And yea what im tryin to say is.. There are no absolute fucking way that those medieval like country can withstand a normal 200 kilotons nuclear bomb
@@sigurdgram Eh, even in series with massively powerful and skilled mages, the rank and file monsters and generic armies aren't going to be wandering around with enchanted mythril armor or barrier magic shields. Not to mention that modern tactics are relatively new, so it's very likely that a society that is still largely Middle-Ages in terms of societal advancement is like a few centuries behind in terms of planning and strategizing.
Like, a regular modern army would carve a bloody swath through any army in the 3rd age of Lord of the Rings, or mortal armies in Slayers, as long as they had the good sense not just walk into Sauron's presence (the Witch King might be too much, if it wasn't for the fact that there are female soldiers with weapons that may bypass his magical defenses) or try and fight any Mazoku or Lina-tier mage.
Even in Gate, there are beings like Rory who can casually demolish entire special forces units by herself, but they are extremely rare and can't deal with billions of yen worth of military hardware that just happens to be more superhuman than she is in very important ways.
The fact was a clip from Terror in Resonance (or Zankyou no Terror) in the beginning made me so happy- I absolutely loved it when I watched it but I’ve never seen anyone talk about it like… ever. I’ve watched it through a couple times and it has major pacing issues (it’s hella slow) in the first few episodes, which is what I assume turns most people away from it (that and most people have never heard of it).
Thank you for respecting my time and teaching me to spot potential in one episode. I regularly lean on premise over execution, but you've convinced me.

My favorite anime is Drake and Josh.
HOSS Delgado tbh.. BigTimeRush was better
Guys, come on. It's Cory in the House.
gotta agree and go for the classics, cory in the house was an absolute masterpiece.
HOSS Delgado I think wizards of Waverly place was a tad bit better

The first episode is literally the first impression. You have to make it lit and make it so interesting that you'll be waiting for the second and other episodes. Take Attack on Titan for example, the colossal titan appearing was the first blow.
The moment I realized this anime was bullshit was when the Main Character got promoted immediately.

Death Note is just such a good series. It’s not my favorite anime but it is the highest quality/ best anime I’ve ever watched.

How to recognize a terrible anime? ooh, I got how about when you imagine another character as the protagonist and the story doesn't change one bit, I'm just saying.
>>Stardust Crusaders and Golden Wind
Stardust Crusaders wouldve killed all of the side villains if Giorno was the Protag
Jotaro wont survive shit in Golden Wind due to people mostly having more strategical stands while
Jotaro may be Strategical his stand is extremely strong
but he is a punchy boi
so idk if he can survive that shit
@@u-thix2436 I mean imagining Joseph or Polnareff and Buciaratti as the protagonist in their respective series. Not literally exchanging the protagonist for a brand new person.
@@BrickBuster2552 Ohhh
Yeah makes sense
Firstly
If Mista was the protag probably wont do anything(he is simplistic)
Narancia: He isnt a brainy guy so he wont think of anything to really have against the boss
Abbachio: He knew he didnt owe his life to Bucciarati so he would probably stick to what Bruno would be doing
Fugo: Literally nothing he thinks about that scenario
Bruno: same as Giorno but he would most likely die from Melone fight since he wouldnt be able to heal himself
also he would probably not even kill the boss and would just rank up
@@u-thix2436 What I was really talking about was changing which member of the ensemble is assigned the label "protagonist", not who's handling all the stuff the protagonist was doing in their scenes. Like how Jotaro is assigned the label of "protagonist", but most of the story is told through fights where the central fighter is Polnareff or Joseph, not Jotaro. So it's easy to imagine either of them as being the part's protagonist, but that doesn't necessarily make it worse.
People took this seriously in golden kamuy. That thing is a masterpiece and the group did a lot of research about the anime plot and the characters are exceptionally well made. Like the tsurumi reveal in Kiroranke flashback is good as heck. Golden kamuy needs more recognition than ditching it because of a C.G bear. The bear is kinda hard to make too so no argument, make golden kamuy atleast 8.5 in myanimelist.
For me, the best way to tell a bad anime in one episode is most definitely how the handle setting up the story, I know we have to get everything moving but anime take way too little time to establish where we are, what the central conflict is, who our main character is and what his goals and motivations are, are in general a way to tell a bad anime from a good one. How do they use the time allotted to them. Lots of anime have either a really good premise or a premise that functions and can work, but they only get 12 episodes. So they end up getting way too ambitious and adapt too much of the manga into the first season making the entire season feel like a glorified checklist. I could name several anime where if they either got more episodes for their first season or scaled down the scope of the adaptation to allow for better pacing, where the quality could've been vastly improved. Does this bother anyone else?
You know you're going on a wild ride when it starts with "it was fine for about 50 seconds in"
darling in the franxx was ok, but lost interest a few times cause out of nowhere here come the aliens
FLYTheOtaku
Lmao same, except it seemed more of a romance than an action. I expected it to be an action but just in the first episode
BOOBS
NAKED WOMAN
YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SHIP THIS!
Do you see what I meant?-
i kind of do, it would have been alot better if they came to an agreement after discovering a cave or something revealing that kalexeosaurs and humans where allies. then zero two unites them along with hiro and they fight them together. HOWEVER during the wait for the space fleet kokoro finds the book bout children in the city they find on their holiday while waiting. then the whole romance thing takes over while they wait. then during the wedding they are all called to HQ to prepare for an attack on the aliens. that means it would appeal to the mecha action fans, scifi and romance fans together
i also think that triggers logic for shipping is "man sees girl nude...SHIP IT" that the whole reason
Emily Black what anime?
Honestly SAO was amazing in the beginning but it went really downhill in around 10 episodes, Asuna got really boring too
Alicization is very good.
It was good when there were real stakes, it was tense, and scary and every room could be a one-way trip to death, some bits where kinda good, but it sucked when Kirito is just an invincible powerhouse that can't die, it gets rid if the tension and fear that is supposed to be prevalent
Yeah, literally. First episode I was actually feeling hype for the next episode and then when all of this anime girls introduced and how kirito suddenly just got overpowered I lost interest greatly
Asuna’s only personality trait is being a bad tsundere who’s not even a tsundere and just Kirito
Yuno True, I think the writers are getting better. I read the last WOU light novel and surprisingly they ended the arc pretty well.
I remember that when GATE was aired, everyone was calling a "Japanese Army propaganda"
I’d usually watch the first few episodes because sometimes the plot does get better
In my opinion, don’t refrain from watching a show because of the art style. 2 of my favorite shows (JJBA and MP100) have, less than traditional art styles and are freaking fantastic. My friend refuses to watch shows if he doesn’t like the style and I used to do that too but the style will eventually grow on you and you might really enjoy the show. Thank you for coming to my ted talk
Those two shows also have the best openings
Mianimations Inc. I agree. In fact, mp100 OPs are my favorites and everyone should watch what a masterpiece it’s is
And how good JoJo Op's are like wtf why did Part 1 bring a fucking orchestra
and why did Part 2 go edm
and part 3 going Rock
Part 4 going Disco
Part 5 going.... Yeah Idk what genre it is but its so fucking good

I don't care what anyone says, Youjo Senki's artstyle is gold.
But in reality, if a modern military force were to actually take on a full army of medieval soldiers, 100% the medieval army is fucked.

1 drone is enough to beat the medieval side.

I saw this video years ago. It was what got me to think more on the way stories are written.
I only read light novels and fanfiction(lol), but the reasoning could be applied to really any story medium.
If the first chapter of a story has issues with dialogue, pacing, descriptions, and etc; I found that I always regret reading them in the end, even if I enjoyed the premise. The fanfics that did get better would end up being rewritten or abandoned, probably because the authors realised the same thing.
I’ve degraded to enjoying terrible anime. I can’t even watch any good shows now. Literally forced myself to watch Jujutsu Kaisen.
It's unbelievable how many people completely ignore the actual point of the video - showing how you can examine execution rather than premise in an opening episode because 99% of good anime won't do their first episode poorly - in favor of getting all hung up on Digi's personal opinions on the shows he uses as examples. This isn't a video about Gate or Joker Game, it's about picking up on the signs of something being good or bad early on. Is that really so hard?
DrRaklryja dude I haven't even seen one but hurt comment
Just scroll down for a while (hit "show more" a few times). They were higher up when I posted that comment. Look for anything talking specifically about Gate rather than the actual point of the video
Honestly for the most part the only butt hurt comments I found after scrolling out of curiosity, were of people being butt hurt because others didn't like this video even if though they gave good reasons for not liking it. (I mean people that disliked it due to the methodology, not because of the anime remarks those were much rarer.)
Forced Broken, it's mainly because YT has a comment sorting system. For me, it is set to "Top Comments" so the more insightful comments sits at the top. If you set your sort to most recent, you'd probably see the butt-hurt.
The simple fact is that it is premature to judge any piece of watchable media by just one episode of a show and doing so can seem to some people as egotistical because it means aha I know this show was bad before you figured it out when in some instances that may not be the case. Also it is just lazy reviewing because if you avoid the other episodes than you do not have a sense of closure when it comes to making a final review. If you just watch one episode and drop the anime because you think it is bad than that is your choice but don't think that you have great reviewing skills just because you dropped every other episode because you really never know how the show is going to go with its premise or understand the twists and turns that the anime goes for or if improvements were made from the previous episodes. Also it comes down towards the taste of the premise for the viewer and if the viewer can get sucked into the idea than you would enjoy it but if not than you don't. Also Digibro contradicts himself because close to half of what he watched when it came to making a final anime score on his myanimelist profile have a negative score from 5 to 1 is approximately 180 while the shows that he likes ranging from 6 to 10 are approximately 200 so this is a contradiction in the video when he says he does not want to spend alot of time on bullshit because he made the call to make a score on alot of what he considers bullshit anime.

Harems with an oblivious MC that can magically talk the trauma away and won't be mentioned again unless it is convenient to the plot.
Unnecessary females beating male characters because they do something stupid, or the infamous "accidentally walking inside a room where a character is changing-- and even if it was the male character changing, they will always be labeled as the pervert".
Boobs. Nothing wrong with it, just the fact that it shouldn't always be on screen for every couple of minutes like it's a competition on how many they can fit in in each episode.
Misunderstandings that can be solved if they just talked.
This might just be me but I hate it whenever female/male characters gets jealous over their supposed crush when they're not even in a relationship! It makes that person the evil one and them being the victim of a *one-sided* love.
3 ep rule should be a rule that everyone needs to know
Indeed.
Yea but everytime i do that i like it and give it a 6 or higher score on mal. So i kinda want to watch a bad anime so i can know myself what a vad anime is and a good one
The anime was interesting but the harem subplot fucked it up.
YES. I dropped it because of the fucking harem bs

A guy leaving school meet with his friend, the friend makes hims go inside a prison made from newspaper and historical books and when the prison cell falls down, he travels to a pirate ship and the adventure starts, every ep would be a different historic moment

I actually thought Angel Beats would be trash, because it's first episode was so fast paced, I thought I was already in middle of the show. Luckily, I "forced" myself to watching the show to the end, and my god, the ending was f*cking awesome!!!
IKR I CRIED AT THE END
really? i felt the opposite.. well maybe cuz it was one of my first anime but the ending felt soo rushed because i didn't shed tears where one should've .. i thought it could definitely use some more episodes as i had no idea what cour meant at that time
rebiyon I did feel rushed actually. I wanted to know how everyone died but they skipped it over :(
Everyone saying that Angel Beats is kinda rushed and thats their opinion. I cried so damn hard.
Nah, Angel Beats was a bad anime.
Little Busters did a better job.
