| the formula goes like > introduce new character > some funny or scary moments > fights aliens or spirits being wacky or dangerous > sad backstory for new character then often times joins the main group later > repeat so will you hate this anime in time because of this formula? because im fine with it as a manga reader i mean long running manga usually have repetitive formula anyway right? |
| No big deal if it's executed well. |
No, this isn't my signature. |

I think more and more the way that shows that follow that trend try to breakthrough the "noise" is to make compelling and well written characters so it doesn't make the formula feel too formulaic. Which is good, since we get more interesting and different dynamics and shows with well written characters. Because I do agree that shows that don't do that will gradually get filtered out since the Shounen genre has always been very competitive and it will only get harder. |

| I’m fine with repetition in long-running series as long as there’s a strong overarching narrative. Even if the arcs follow a similar pattern, they should feel distinct and engaging. Each arc should bring something new to the table, whether in character development, stakes, or unique elements. And the story should progress meaningfully without stagnating. |

personally i dont care as long as it is executed well
Vamola's backstory was the first time i ever shed tears while reading a manga
plot doesnt matter too much for me if everything else is as good as it is

| @mobxmentality vamola will be in season 2 i think and ye i agree her backstory is great |
henwens said: The 'some funny or scary moments' is literally any show ever. If you make a blueprint generic enough, you can probably encapsulate any show ever. Try to name shows that never introduce new character and never have either scary or funny moments. maybe i should say its the battle shonen formula so yes dandadan is a battle shonen too imo |

Don't fall for the bait fellas
| @a_diplodon It's not bait this user always makes attention seeking threads that's his thing |
Reply to JoeChip
| @JoeChip attention seeking threads? literally everything we do online can be called attention seeking |
| Wtf is wrong with you guys ? Let the anime only enjoy the show in peace. |
| Will we hate the Anime because you don't like/know basic storytelling structures? Nah. We'll continue enjoying it, if you don't mind. |

| @Laplace_kun nah im curious on what the anime only fans will say about the formula because a thread already said its predictable and generic so its fine here im not saying anything specific that will be called spoilers anyway since its a general formula or pattern |
| im guessing this post is on regards of another recent one, but yeah i agree, ddd follows a formula, shockingly like the grand majority of stories. Personally i dont mind it in what is being cover in the story rn or how i see some ppl call it the "kintama hunt saga", bc although it follows a structure you never know what elements the author is going to introduce like i never expected to see a |
| @deg isn't that like the one-billionth MAL echo chamber inducing thread "how many feels the same as me?" nothing conspicuously repetitive has happened yet, especially for this genre. Once this actually happens, you have the license to tear it apart. In a civil and constructive manner of criticism, of course. |

| @deg this post belongs in the manga section, it doesn't belong herev lol. |
| This thread is a great read. 😂 |
 |
The only repetitive thing on MAL is the rewording of this ‘question’ every 5th thread on my home page. |
| yup, like someone else said, formulas are fine as long as they are executed well. I'm not sure that I'm into dandadan yet (as a non-manga reader) but so far it's entertaining enough. |
can't yuck my yum  |

So curious you have to start threads about the show on a daily basis? Just get some friends to talk to about it, your curiosity reads as negative criticism and irritates those of us who actually enjoy something simply because it’s fun without feeling a need to question everything from sales in Japan to the writing format. Do you enjoy it? If yes keep watching. If not stop watching. It’s not there as a platform for you to seek attention on the internet.
| @FutoiOtaku whats the use of mal forums then |
| damn people are really triggered with just a genuine question |
Reply to FutoiOtaku
Constructive discussion. Not spamming negativity on a daily basis.
| @FutoiOtaku im not being negative thats just your interpretation |
