AmirKazeXD said: @Cielord well this is just my categorization for my better understanding of how old the series are... and yeah, everybody has different definitions for themselves. That's part of the reason I said this categorization is retarded. People discuss the best new-gen and other stuff about that topic while having different definitions. It's completely nonsensical. |
vanillasaruto said: @Cielord you can easily look it up as I did. Unless we're looking at different results. And how is "usually agreed that 10 years is too far" and "5 years ago" contradictory? Its within that time frame. Naruto manga ended in 2014. The anime in 2017. New anime fans are looking for "their Naruto" imo which is why they like using the term. And so what? That's fine. Look, I don't like that you called it retarded. And you have not been helpful nor positive in responding to the topic of the post. I wanted to be helpful but it seems like I've only caused more problems. I apologize for antagonizing you. Anime should be welcoming and not gate keeping or a battle ground. I don't know where you looked up, but it's objectively wrong. Definition 1: 10 years timeframe. Definition 2: After Bleach and Naruto ended, so an 8-year timeframe. Definition 3: 5 years timeframe. (If we are talking about the Naruto anime, then it's a 7-year timeframe; here is another definition.) Those are 3 different numbers, and thus, it's 3 different definitions. I called it retarded because that's what it is. Listen, if you're insulted by my description of that categorization, then sure, sorry, I guess. But that won't change my thoughts or my description of it. |

| @Cielord lol you don't have to apologize if you don't want to but it's all good :) I apologized because I felt like it. I just want to talk with you without arguing because frankly its exhausting. I just think that name calling isn't the best way to convey your opinion about something. It gets messy. Kinda like how you're saying with new gen because it's not clear. Do you even have an opinion on Dandadan? |

Kinda like how you're saying with new gen because it's not clear. Do you even have an opinion on Dandadan? By name-calling it, I pretty clearly expressed my negative opinion on the topic, so I think it conveyed it well. If I wanted to provide more detailed thoughts on it, I would've done so. I have been reading Dandadan manga for years at this point, but it's nothing really special, and the way it is being so highly praised is unjustifiable, IMO. I like the chaotic nature of many of the fights and the world, which showcases the author's creativity. The humor is many times too crude for me, but it manages to be funny sometimes. I like Okarun and Momo's relationship; it's built fairly well for a show that isn't even tagged romance. In regards to the adaptation so far... Science Saru did a great job, and the voice acting is great; it's quite self-evident, so nothing else has to be said. The earlier arcs of Dandadan were easily the weakest (although it's still fairly enjoyable) part, and where it picked up for me was around chapter 50. Overall, it's a solid 8.2, |
| Only 5 episodes have been released and I don't know the manga, but how is this series more refreshing? it has all the motifs already known from shounen. A possessed MC who gains powers thanks to this, a friend who also has powers, some sexy but old character, ghosts and monsters. Mc, of course, is a loner and weird, so finding friends is important to him, etc. I've read many comments about how crazy this anime is, etc., but there's nothing crazy here, apart from the attempted rape in the first episode. it's weird and chaotic but every other anime is like that now. Maybe after watching Gintama, scenes like stealing balls etc. don't shock me because I've already seen it XD |
| @Cielord well I'm glad I commented because I had no idea people had such a gripe with it. and after looking through other comments on this post, more people do, too. your take on dandadan was well written. I haven't read the manga, but I will once the first season is over. |
| Current Candies: |
| Im surprised people aren't saying its not a shonen, usually when anime comes out and elitists like it, they pretend its a different demographic, usually seinen. People recently did that for Frieren for example. |
| I don't know, for me they all correspond to the standard formula in a varying degree. Just adding much larger doses of 20's and 10's "modern culture" instead of some 00's in Naruto, as well as trying to be more in line with modern trends like edgy and guro fashion. |
 |
| i prefer csm and think it has higher rewatchability, considering the fact that i've already rewatched it like 4 times since it came out in 2022. i'd rather reread dandadan than rewatch because i prefer the manga for that. |
