Dark_Chaos said: No, I don't like her particularly but she had more chemistry with Light. Females actually tend to like either Light or L more so than any other character.mayukachan said: Dark_Chaos said: If the genders were switched, only the fujoshi would ship them all, much like when they shipped Light and L in Death Note when there was nothing going on and all the other fans were calling them crazy. Probably lol. I'm one of the few girls that would have preferred Misa x Light over any of the yaoi couples in Death Note x_x Same with DRRR actually. Yeah, females tend to really like Misa for some reason. I don't dislike her, but I don't like her either. I'm neutral in other words. |

Sunday without god (Kamisama no inai nichiyubi) They spend a lot of time building a really beautiful world with an amazing lore but ends up restricting itself to a school environment and the main character's goal (to save the world) is too general to have a clear ending. |

Kotoura-san It start off pretty good but went down hill since episode 5. SAO Too much fan-services, time-skip and the incest thing. Chuunibyou demo Koi ga Shitai! The first season is great, but the second one is so failure. Mahouka too many minor characters, I have to go back to old episode almost every time to see who the hell the guy is. lol Imphee said: Sunday without god (Kamisama no inai nichiyubi) They spend a lot of time building a really beautiful world with an amazing lore but ends up restricting itself to a school environment and the main character's goal (to save the world) is too general to have a clear ending.

Bebop. Bebop was good but could have been great if it was arc based and not episodic. Considering it is such a character driven show each character should have gotten an arc specifically dedicated to them. Say ten episodes (with the exception of Ed, like 5 episodes would be sufficient for Ed) for each main character. Spike's arc would have focused on his life in the Red Dragon syndicate, how he met Vicious and show how their friendship developed ,how he met Julia and the development of their relationship and finally when things went south between him and Vicious Zankyou No Terror - it would have been a great mystery thriller if 5 was never introduced into the story |

The amount of SAO being mention in this thread is over 9000! Can anyone be a little bit more original here? Let me be the first then, Cowboy bebop and Psycho pass both had potential especially psycho pass but both didn't live up to it. |

SAO had insane potential but it decided to stick their heads into fans' asses. For example, show started to focus on pathetic romance, made 12 year old girls fall in love with Kirito, completely OP main character with 0 development, etc. |

Thank god we did not had to hear anything from them in the discussions after that "polemical" episode.

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

Not sure about most wasted, but I was really disappointed with Noucome. The choices could have set up some interesting scenarios, but instead it was always either "obvious choice" and "stupid shit", or "stupid shit" and "even dumber shit". |

SuperRed said: Naruto Shippuden This exactly. It could have gone in a different direction, like, in an adventure format where the Akatsuki were the main villains. But what we got instead was more Uchiha drama and zombie ninja (facepalm...) Plus, the minor characters should have played a bigger role. It's a long running series, for craps sake! There was ample time to give them their moment in the sun and they essentially get shelved in the latter part of Shippuden! There's no excuse for that. |

legend of the galactic heroes, wasted too much time on irrelevant details and terraist asspulls. no wonder star wars is a classic but not that, logh does very little to involve the viewer and its a shame. a lot of the dialogue about politics and such and up being mostly irrelevant because in the grand scheme of things everything was a battle of pride between the important characters while the whole world is pretty much a second thought. still liked the first two seasons but it definitely went downhill after ep 52. also @shinsekai yori the problem was that the show was simply boring, the directing was very mediocre, a lot of the emotional scenes felt dull, from the tense scenes to the dialogues betweens the characters. was very hard to care. it was hyped becauseit's rare to have anime that are a mix of many genres and such but there's a ton of gems that people have missed that are much better |

It's not as hyped as other bigger shows, but reason why it was hyped is because: - it's a serious anime (no fanservice, boobs, asspulls, filler etc.) - dystopian speculative sci-fi setting; not done in anime usually - laced story telling style; piece the puzzles together; foreshadowing well done |

Kamisama no Inai Nichiyoubi This show is really under rated considering there are many many shows rated above it that are quite a bit worse in both writing, directing, and so on. Few shows really captivate me and make me curious from the get go about it's world like this one has and unfortunately it's a completed LN with roughly the same score so I guess the writer didn't adapt the world that much? Pretty solid protagonist & likeable side chars that I really wanted to see expanded on even more. Great world potential, great character potential, but needs a bit of elaboration in both to be excellent. Still enjoyed this show though. |
