Unpopular anime/manga opinions!

Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.

Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?

All your points in that previous post are good though(except for the last one), much better opinions than your first post in this topic.

And while it is a great arc, I find Namek more compelling in some factors; the bad guys aren't too strong nor are the good guys too weak in comparison, Vegeta isn't quite a hero but still has his own agenda (the Androids would have gone down this route in Cell saga if they weren't killed off right after forming the truce with the Z fighters) and Frieza feels like a genuinely menacing villain who is worth his weight. It works quicker in some regards too. Only thing I don't like about it is that everyone is waiting around for Goku inevitably to save the day, but let's be honest...every DBZ arc is like that, lel.

As long as you can make reasonable inferences about what's going on it's fine. -Nanoha is awful -Monster of the Week is the worst kind of episodic formula. -Almost everything Urobuchi is involved in ends up being average at best. -Universal Century Gundam is a slog and probably the worst introduction to the franchise. -The OVAs I've watched for UC are actually decent, though.

Oh yeah and since Satty is in the thread now, I think the fact that Japan never really experienced realism as an artistic movement is hurting the anime industry. Lacking familiar references from their own culture, the writers who try to make realistic works today end up looking at the western media that filters over to Japan and mistaking grimdark for "realistic."

If you include the second season of Psycho Pass it doesn't even hold a candle to anything. Quote: Oh yeah and since Satty is in the thread now, I think the fact that Japan never really experienced realism as an artistic movement is hurting the anime industry. Lacking familiar references from their own culture, the writers who try to make realistic works today end up looking at the western media that filters over to Japan and mistaking grimdark for "realistic." Well it's true Japan has its fair share of grimdark "realism" stuff, I don't think it's so much a product of Western media influencing it. That kind of content has been popular in Japanese media for decades now and I think it's more of a product of graphic or "edgy" content selling well since it catches people's attention rather than Western influence playing a part in anime heading in that direction(hell, overall anime is a lot less grittier and bloodier than it used to be anyways). At the end of the day both anime and Western media have a lot of horrendous grimdark "realism" stuff that sells well regardless of whether it's actually well-written or not and will probably continue to have that stuff regardless of external influences. I'd draw the lack of legitimate realism in grimdark anime to Western influence not playing a part in it, as opposed to Japanese writers overlooking that emphasis on realism that Western stuff has. If they wanted to write a series that was more realistic, live action would be more suitable anyways since the medium is grounded in actors portraying the characters as opposed to animated characters, so the viewer can be more easily immersed in a realistic setting.
