If you could change one scene in an anime, like add or remove anything, an event, even a character and/or what they say, what would it be and why? Would it change drastically the anime? |

Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu s2 The surprise incest reveal in the very last episode. It ruined Yakumo's character for me. In the second last episode Konatsu's parents' ghosts couldn't stop thanking Yakumo for having raised Konatsu. People couldn't stop telling us how much of a father he was to her. And then bam, here you go, she loved him. A cop out for their relationship. I took off 2 whole ratings because of this and it still angers me. I loved Sukeroku's grandson being Yakumo's spiritual successor. He didn't have t be Yakumo's biological son, too. Blood ties was not what the show was about./rant |

I wish Kaori and Kousei performed on stage at least one more time. Since we're being sorta specific, I'd say to change that she didn't colapsed before their Love's Sorrow presentation. But that would change it somehow. That point was when Kousei finally was able to play the piano completely again. |

I distinctly remember pausing the video and saying in my head ' wtf, Lelouch isn't that stupid. He wouldn't say something like that even as a joke. And he knows his power might X at any moment.' I then paused the video and five seconds later I want to throw something at high velocity. I personally take it as a cop out from choosing between writing a story that makes sense and actually committing to Lelouch being an irredeemable bastard. Then two minutes later they jump into the enemy's most powerful mech which is left unguarded with the keys in the cockpit, and I just cant even. |

So instead we got cheap shock value |

I would add every characters' backstories and desires in Angel Beast. Like, what did my boi TK want? Why did he end up there? I would remove that scene with Ace in One Piece. I would remove the Tsukasa dude from Dr. Stone entirely. He's just an overpowered dude with a nonsense logic. |

The final scene of episode 1 of SAO. The anime/story should have ended there and then and that way it would unanimously be recognized as a masterpiece. Everything that followed after that was vomit inducing. |

I could talk about extensive changes that involve multiple episodes, but for one specific thing that I think could be changed to improve one specific part of one specific episode, I'd make the first half of episode 7 (I think) of Soukou no Strain less silly. The rest of the story is pretty serious, and I guess they were trying to go for a lighter tone? But it just feels jarring and hardly interpretable in the same light as the rest of the story. It's one of those things where a character does some things that are blatantly stupid if you take them even at all seriously. |

I don't think it would have been a good idea to get it on while NERV was being raided by SEELE; y'know, with Misato eventually getting caught in an explosion 'n' all. And she got shot, albeit just a graze or a flesh wound if I remember correctly (I haven't watched TEoE in many, many years at this point), but I think Shinji would have been too squeamish for sex because of Misato's gunshot wound. He seems like the type. |

Just_A_ManBOi said: I agree. I didn’t like the show either. I will admit it was very sad, but that was kinda the whole point of the show anyways. I thought the screaming and crying at the end was kinda annoying tbh.probally the last scene in anohana, i could see why people thought it was sad but the last scene really killed the mood in a very cringy type of way. Maybe even redoing it could've made it better. that solely brought anohana from a 5 to a 4 for me |

Well, I'll still remember the rakugo fondly. I don't know. Yakumo's biological mother abandoned him. He found a home with his master and a brother in Sukeroku with whom he had a bond strong enough to challenge any blood relationship. Then he gave Konatsu a home, gave Yotaro one too. Konatsu was Yotaro's onee-san for years. Yotaro also raised Konatsu's son as his own. Too me, the show actively expressed how one can build strong bonds with like-minded people, those with shared passions, without having to be related to them. The blood-tie theme did come up when Yakumo Seventh gen succeeded his father instead of Sukeroku First gen, but I saw that part as criticizing the preference of sons over talented students as successors. Hence, Konatsu's son needing to be Yakumo's son to succeed him feels jarring. |

But I would have still been ok if it had remained him till the end. The show worked perfectly without the last episode twist which still feels unnecessary to me. The ending tried to give us consolation that Yakumo's legacy lives on in his descendants, but I didn't need that consolation since the rest of the series portrayed found families so well. Well, I'll still remember the rakugo fondly. I don't know. Yakumo's biological mother abandoned him. He found a home with his master and a brother in Sukeroku with whom he had a bond strong enough to challenge any blood relationship. Then he gave Konatsu a home, gave Yotaro one too. Konatsu was Yotaro's onee-san for years. Yotaro also raised Konatsu's son as his own. Too me, the show actively expressed how one can build strong bonds with like-minded people, those with shared passions, without having to be related to them. The blood-tie theme did come up when Yakumo Seventh gen succeeded his father instead of Sukeroku First gen, but I saw that part as criticizing the preference of sons over talented students as successors. Hence, Konatsu's son needing to be Yakumo's son to succeed him feels jarring. |

Black_Sheep97 said: Agree to disagree then. Given the chance I'd still remove that reveal scene entirely.operationvalkyri said: I think that Konatsu needed to be his son to answer one of the questions in the story, and it also adds to his character. Like you said the blood tie theme does appear in the story and with Konatsu included it explores a taboo layer to it.Black_Sheep97 said: operationvalkyri said: that scene included and the thematics of obligation and sentiment during the first are linked to that.Black_Sheep97 said: To each their own, I guess.

I took off 2 whole ratings because of this and it still angers me. I loved Sukeroku's grandson being Yakumo's spiritual successor. He didn't have t be Yakumo's biological son, too.

operationvalkyri said: fair enough but I don't know how you say that an emphasis on blood ties wasn't in the series, and I don't see how you can say that reveal was poorly written. I think it should praised for it's approach to a taboo subject.Black_Sheep97 said: Agree to disagree then.

In the last episode of SAO aincrad where kirito is facing heathcliff and he gets stabbed and we see a imagined sequence in kirito's head of him falling backwards with a black background and shattering then resembling himself meaning it didn't happen it was a parrell scene from early on with the boar where he imagines himself if he charged in without thinking due to the perma death function where we see the same scene but without the resembling part . |

The final scene but Hyakkimaru doesnt just leave Dororo to his own devices after going beserk in order to save and protect him. Seriously why would he just up and leave after spending a good 2~3 pouring over Dororo. seriously |

I'd change 2 scenes from S;G,my fav anime of all time, which are kinda lame and cringeworthy. S;G Mr Brown's suicide scene Makise Kirisu's death scene |

Let Hideaki Anno do whatever he wanted with the last 8 episodes of Kare Kano |
Why don’t we become monsters and really mess up this awful world? Just destroy until there’s no more evil, no more sadness, no more anything… Wouldn’t that be great? |

_underscore_830 said: stadium scene from code geass season 1, ruined the show for me. Mao's entire existence ruined the show for me. The stadium scene was just the icing on the cake. Speaking of Mao, I would have changed the scene where Mao fetched another gun instead of keeping Lelouch firmly at gun point. |
