Loved the season 1 but japaneses never learn...

It kinda suffers from its own premise. At first the show was more interesting because the viewers were supposed to be hyper aware of the situation, will they, won't they? A lot circled around the potential reveal. And when it dawns that they won't, not in any foreseeable future because it would kill the premise, the stakes just don't feel as high. Whatever happens you already more or less expect not to get major plot progression. The recent episodes developed Yor's character a bit (which was needed asap because she honestly became the least interesting character in later seasons with how she just got reused for the same jokes), but I wouldn't be surprised if everything gets back to the way it was, same old comedy.

All of this doesn't necessarily make the show bad, it's totally valid within the genre of comedy slice-of-life. But the initial spark that got most people interested is heavily sidelined, if not ignored completely, so it's understandable if they start to find it boring.

@Ten Perfect.

The point is that it's far from being as bad as some really forced and braindead anime comedies that are released every season.

And maybe shorter. With 90 chapters in the Manga this could go already to some conclusion arc in the terms i said above, with a climax.

That's why i miss Hinamatsuri (finished with 117 chapters) and thankfully i miss it because it's over, and ended greatly.


*It's not only my opinion. It's about thousands of people in MAL who scored S1P1 higher than S1P2, which is higher than S2.... what is totally unusual for good series that keep the audience hyped.

from what i've read about the manga author, they didn't even expect this series to get so popular so quick and weren't really too happy about it, as in - they didn't deem this particular plot so good that it could gather such audience, compared to their other works which they personally liked making more??

take it with a grain of salt, since i saw it quite a while ago, so i may misremember some details, but what im trying to say is that it could be part of a reason why the series seems stuck on some tropes and gags? since the author didn't fully enjoy creating that 🤔

Since when Grand Blue is a some sort of litmus paper for comedy opinion? lol

Another example I can think of is Kaguya-sama, it has its formulaic premise and similar types of jokes, but also a solid plot progression. I doubt people would consider it one of the best romantic comedies if season 2 was just a copy-paste of season 1, and season 3 maintained the same bubble of jokes, rinse and repeat, without getting anywhere closer to the overall resolution. Imagine how frustrating it would be. The show would still be popular and enjoyable for lots of people, for sure, but hardly on the same level as it is now.

While Spy x Family is still no doubt popular, Anya by itself is a perfect ingredient for success, it doesn't really live up to its full potential, that's all.

You dropped Grand Blue so don't talk about qualities of a good comedy.

Dropping Grand Blue and Bleach, giving Death Note a 5 while rating a good amount of incest and rape hentais 8+ shows me you don't appreciate the good stuff you degenerate. Bad move commenting my taste while I can roast your list a hundred times over. Better put your trashy list on private from now.

Yeah add more rape and incest to your shitty list, cause there ain't enough. Tells me a lot of your fetishes and preferences, you sick mentally ill patient.

There is defintely enough material for more seasons, but I don't know more cause I am anime only.
