| 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. |

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. |

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. |

| i do it jokingly with friends, he has been trying to get me to watch TTGL for month and months and just constantly tell him its garbage (ive seen 6/7 eps i think) and tbh its not that bad just a little OTT for me...... but i don't think you can seriously bash a series you haven't given a chance and be expected to be taken seriously! |

SolBlade said: It can still be said to be one, just not the kind that you're describing (which is the most popular definition). 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? They fight using cellphones that can tell the future... that's realistic (I'm arguing with my first friend on MAL T^T) 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 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. |

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. |

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. |

And yes, it's 640 right now. 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. |

| 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. |

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. |

TheNaturalPerm said: Hey, Seikoku no dragonar actually isn't all that bad assuming you know what you were getting into in the first place.you can usually tell how much a show will suck just by reading the description and looking at genres/cover. examples from this very season: "gochuumon wa usagi desu ka" and "seikoku no dragonar" nobody needs to see these shows to know how good they are. It's just the usual moe/magical school ecchi bs all over again. anime doesen't really hide to what kind of people it wants to appeal to. That's just how the anime medium works...even more so than other storytelling ones That "dragon" is cute as fucking shit. OT: Those people who do it a lot are usually just hella ignorant unless they are referring to currently airing seasonal anime. If you are a seasonal anime watcher, you have to judge each anime based off first impressions to better understand what kind of shows you want to get into each season, so it's more understandable when they do that. |

Ckan said: If it's a 2-3 episode OVA, then yeah, 1 episode could be enough. This is imo of course, but 25% is reasonable enough. It gives enough time to get introductions of the characters and the world out of the way, and for the main story or first major arc to get underway. If a given series "gets better" than its initial "book-cover" premise suggests, it's likely to happen within that time frame.Zalis said: But it brings up an interesting question.

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. If we say that it depends on the series, that doesn't that mean that some shows could require only an episode, or less, of a viewing? Now yes, obviously super-long runners do throw things out of whack. I don't expect people to watch 160 episodes of One Piece, but I try to go with around 20-30 episodes. I gave Naruto that much, and I at least found it worth watching through the end of the canon content in the 2002 series and into some of the filler. But for the average 13-26 episode series that populate most of each seasonal lineup, 3-7 episodes works well enough. Of course, if people decide that a show isn't for them and want to drop it early, they're welcome to their opinions and whatever ratings they want to enter into their own lists. Just don't go trying to represent your opinions on how "horrendous" or "awful" a show is with some kind of critical authority, as if you know as much or more than someone who's seen the whole thing. That, is Crystal Ball Criticism at its worst. |
