I did drop Kill la Kill right after finishing first episode (if you bother to check my list). I don't hold prejudice against any genre though. Sport anime is the same as any battle shounen with the only difference being lack of fantasy.


Good then, I thought you made fun of me but actually you happened to be one of the few people who agree with me on that! I'm not alone, I'm relieved. Why not be friends?

I think most people who will use the excuse of "Don't judge a book by its cover" are already doing so with sports anime. I know sports anime usually involves a team playing sports, playing sports, until the antagonist appears and surprise, he's an evil sportsman who will rule the world tyrannically.. With sports! This is your usual sports impression. Now by figuring out that an anime is a sports anime, this impression of sports anime comes into thought just by looking at the fact that an anime is of the sports genre.

Now allow me to hate KLK as much as I want for being an overhyped DBZ battle clone with terrible fight scenes out of a 2 minutes scene I got recommended, just like how you hate sports anime without watching it.
Mirai Nikki is a battle shonen anime so therefore even if you don't watch it you know it's the exact same as DBZ and the big 3. Right?

There is gangrape in Mirai Nikki. That's all the difference it needs.


There was tentacle rape in Fairy Tail.

@Andan210: I know.

Who said Mirai Nikki was a battle shonen alike the big/overrated three (minus DBK)?

Also, why bring up Mirai Nikki again?!

Oh, you're not joking.
Looking at the image and the description, you'll find no hints of DBZ-like battles. And the final result is that you've got only one DBZ-like battle, but it comes at the end. Battle anime with totally unrealistic battles stand out very damn well.

I used to be nice, explaining that it wasn't right, it was stupid, and convincing the user to continue watching. Now that I realize doing something like that is a waste of my time, I just don't take their post seriously, ever. I mean, they must be pretty stubborn; if they won't even try to understand the series, probably they won't try to understand my post either.

Yeah, just because the publication is inside a shonen magazine and it being based on action, this means its damn safe to plaster the word "battle" on it out of nowhere, huh?

So even if it lacks battles but instead shootings and escape from death situations in which you can win it by strategic planning and brains instead of body strength and whatever magical force inside you, Mirai Nikki is indeed factually an animanga in which Yuno punches everyone mindlessly to death while her enemies use their superpowers such as flight, rather than both sides thinking about how to strike carefully or else they're dead, huh? And when all the fights involve the use of weapons that aren't super powered or anything, real weapons, bar one fight, right?

I give no damn to the publication source. Whether its a battle shonen or not sticks out from the description.

Tactics used in a fight or the lack of super powers have nothing to do with an anime being shonen or not.Shonen is merely the target demographic and action plays a main part in Mirai Nikki so it is factually a battle shonen anime.

By that logic, TV shows revolving around gangsters attacking other gangsters would be battle TV shows.

There's a big difference between battle and action. DBZ is both but a mafia show (or Mirai Nikki bar that only battle) is action only.

This conservation is pity though. A battle shonen anime sticks out very damn well. If its battle just because uh its shonen and action even though "battles" are non-existent, then its not battle. Its just "action". Now where was I, before DrGero summoned Mirai Nikki for no apparent reason?

Well the future diaries are probably the only unrealistic weapons, and they're more of methods of survival than a killing tool (unless you destroy another's diary).

I know. All I'm saying is that it could be considered one. I don't even consider Mirai Nikki one myself (more like supernatural shounen), though it does share a few elements with them. Heck, I wasn't even being entirely serious there. But the point I'm trying to make is that battle shounen is practically just another word for action shounen.

Term also applies to people who try to be authoritative after seeing some laughably small percentage like 1/26 episodes or 10 minutes of 1 episode.

There is another question. How many episodes of One Piece does one need to watch before s/he can have a critical opinion of OP that can be accepted by the likes of you? How big is that percentage when it comes to something super long like One Piece?

6 out of 640 (is that the number now?) would be a laughibly small percentage of episodes, you know. And nobody's going to stay until the 30th episode in order to tell people that OP is bad if it proves itself as so by the 6th episode.

It depends. As long as your judgments are based solely on what you've seen as you can't really tell what's to come if you haven't seen the rest of it. For OP, I'd say 5-10% of the current length is good enough for a first impression as most of the main cast isn't introduced until episode 30 or so (this also applies to a lot of other long runners as they tend to start slower than normal). And yes, it's 640 right now.

Leave them do at will. Nobody's going to shut up just because you said "you barely watched it." We should be open to opinions regardless of how much one saw an anime, and agree and disagree on the criticism than booting the guy off just because "you barely watched it!"

That's democracy.

Wow, time got past quick. I remember when I talked about 631 episodes not long ago.
But if One Piece got bad by the 6th episode for a person, nobody's going to stay until the 30th just in order to have their opinion accepted. 30 episodes is longer than your short 26 episodes anime. 30 in order to have otakus take you seriously is still too much. That's why I don't bind myself to how much I watched it before I complain. If its bad, then I'll say it is so. How long I watched that bad thing be damned.

Leave them do at will. Nobody's going to shut up just because you said "you barely watched it." We should be open to opinions regardless of how much one saw an anime, and agree and disagree on the criticism than booting the guy off just because "you barely watched it!"

That's democracy.


There's just one thing. Hate all they want, they better know what the fuck they're talking about..... which they won't, if they haven't watched said series.

It depends. As long as your judgments are based solely on what you've seen as you can't really tell what's to come if you haven't seen the rest of it. For OP, I'd say 5-10% of the current length is good enough for a first impression as most of the main cast isn't introduced until episode 30 or so. And yes, it's 640 right now.

Enduring 64 episodes when you can't stand the character designs/narration style/etc from the first episode would be a torture.


I did say give or take 2%, so at least 20-30 is fine. It's a long-runner so it's to be expected. The character designs become increasingly bizarre over time so I can understand why someone wouldn't be too fond of them if they didn't like it initially. Kinda like why I can't get people to watch Kaiji.

A show I've never seen? Nah I wouldn't waste my time and energy complaining. I would just forget about it and move on to something I want to see.

Seeing other people complain about shows they've never seen? Lol, I don't give a fuck if they want to be that closed-minded.

I should get around watching Kaiji once my exams are over. Seems my type of anime, if I can get over the artstyle.

Yes. As my edit above points out, its not worthy to torture yourself just to have your opinion approved by anime fans. Complain all you want by watching however long you want.

Just leave them speak as much as they want out of whatever total of episodes they watched. Nobody's obligated to shut them up and silence their freedom of saying something sucks while not watching a single episode.

Yeah, I usually ignore them. Sometimes, I do feel like taking the bait, though.

It's definitely worth it if you can get past the art style. If you're a fan of psychological anime then you'll most likely enjoy this one as it's mainly centered around gambling. And the main character is the true definition of moe.

But nobody prevents them from talking, but they shouldn't be surprised if people tell them that their opinion is uninformed.
