I like Amagami but its entirety is filled with cringe. Same with Seiren. Watching them is hella difficult.

But the proposing scene from the second season of Amagami that reenacts in front of the entire student body really takes the cake.

"People die when they're killed" was too literal. That was a horrible way to translate the original, even though that's exactly what it is.

I feel the nuance is closer to "when people are killed, they're gone (that's it for them)". Or perhaps even "when you kill someone, this person is gone". I can't put my finger on it, but the original somehow doesn't sound stupid to me. But yeah, the literal translation just doesn't cut it.


The dub did a better job. I think in the dub he says, "When you're hurt badly enough, you die. And that's the way it should be."

That was cringy as fuck, but it turned out well for him in the end so I guess it doesn't matter.


What's the difference?

Yeah, I guess. It's not great, but not horrible like "people die when they're killed" lol.

In UBW, there's also "I'm amazed! The archer class is really made up of archers". That comes across as a straight up statement. It doesn't illustrate the whole "wow... as someone from the archer class (or when it comes to the Archer class), you (or the archer class in general) really have the makings of an archer" idea well, which was also part of what she meant as she was complimenting Archer's incredible eyesight.

Of course, Rin didn't put it the way I did, but the underlying meaning is still there in Japanese. I guess that's another example of the ambiguity that you see all the time in Japanese. The way she puts it is very simple on purpose, but it still speaks for itself in Japanese imo.

I thought most scenes were extremely immature and embarassing, even with older characters it felt as if a kid was talking. I had high hopes for this anime, but they were terribly shattered :(

What scenes or dialogue made you cringe the most? Preferably it should be some speech or fight or scene that was supposed to be serious but ended up being cringy, so things like certain comedy scenes or Watamote where you are meant to cringe don't count.


Yamcha being Yamcha in Dragon Ball and Hercule making a fool himself lol X3
Whenever people praises that guy for something his not, it makes me cringe but whenever something bad in a comedic way happens to him I can't stop laughing >w<

Anything, A N Y T H I N G made by Mari Okada (with the exception of Toradora) and the entire script of School Days.
I also get really cringed with some lines that imply gender roles, such as "You are a woman, you can't show your face in such an ugly way" or "I'm a man, of course it's an insult to call cute to a man" and things like that.

- Any time a character speaks in 3rd person
- Any time a character narrates what's happening to the other characters around them like they're blind/retarded
- Any time a character goes into an expository monologue that makes no sense for that character to have (eg, bad guy explaining in detail his evil plan out loud to his subordinates who are already knowledgeable about that plan, and currently carrying it out)
- Any time "pervert" is uttered for no reason
- Any time characters who are surprised or taken aback/lost for words do that throaty, "gk" "ngt" noise. You know what I'm talking about. I've never heard a single human being make that noise
- Any time a character makes stupid demands to another character, and then that character just goes with it even though they protested ("You are now a member of our club!!" or something) because the writers are too lazy to have a main character that's actually able to impact the plot and make decisions

Whenever the MC goes about how he is going to protect the female character because she is a girl and shouldn't fight even tho she is 1000x stronger than he is.

Fuck you Emiya

Damn right, hes putting Saber in even more danger with that attitude since she obviously has to protect his weak ass anyway. If they didnt have plot armor and insane powerups they would get rekt pretty soon by his stupid actions.

I don't know if anyone said cause I only read the first 15 posts or so.
However, the only line of dialogue that made me cringe on the inside was line from the antagonist of Ghost in the Shell Arise 2: Ghost Whispers.
Mokoto asks her why she did it and she responds with, "My ghost whispered it to me."
I wanted to punch Takeuchi in his edgy 12 dialogue writing face.
