| What are some of yall's most spicy anime takes? I wanna see this thread at the top of the Scoville scale. |
| Byousoku 5 centimeter>Your name≒Suzume no tozimari>Tenki no ko |

TheMechaManiac said: Isn't this just a normal take? Cause mecha's always been dope.Mecha is actually a good genre. |
| Fullmetal Alchemist is actually decent. Unlike those overrated trash (exaggerated, but kinda in comparison) of Shingeki no Kyojin or One Piece. |

takamono said: Byousoku 5 centimeter>Your name≒Suzume no tozimari>Tenki no ko Is that really a hot take tho? Pretty much everyone who watched it says that 5cm/s is one of the best romance movies ever made. It just never was as popular as Your Name and now it's also too old for a lot of people to get picked up. |
| Ufotable’s animation is boring and Wit Studio is overrated |
 |
| Hanekawa>>>Senjougahara Wasteful Days of Highschool Girls>>>Daily Lives of Highschool Boys |

Also, what do you even mean anime in general doesn't do action well? Now, that is a spicy take. |
| Nice to see you back struggler. As for my takes, I've always held the opinion that filler isn't always bad. Sometimes it adds more depth to the story. |

ateks said: I’ve actually seen quite some people who doesn’t like it, and Your name still appears the most when it comes to “your favorite Shinkai films”, so I would say it’s a hot take.takamono said: Byousoku 5 centimeter>Your name≒Suzume no tozimari>Tenki no ko Is that really a hot take tho?

| I’m a bit tired of giving my standard response to these kinds of threads (especially my take on Hyouka which I always feel guilty talking about) so I’ll give a different one this time. I personally like the Osamu Dezaki version of Air better than the Kyoto Animation version. The Dezaki version was a bit more generic and Makoto Shinkai-esque but I always found the Kyoto Animation version, whilst more faithful to the original VN, way too weird and abstract. I like the groundedness of Dezaki’s version and the framing device of a school project to tie in the Summer arc. Although maybe I’m just a sucker for those Dezaki’s pastel freeze frames, who knows? Could’ve been longer though. |

| Anime does not do Storytelling especially well... but nether do the Japanese in general, from what i've seen of their Cinema to date. Soap Opera seems to basically be the peak of their storytelling prowess, so it's little wonder the industry stands behind youthful romantic drama as much as they have historically tended to. well, that, and the built-in potential for fresh sets of lovely anime ladies for everyone to ogle over... |

| Evangelion is not a mecha anime. It's just giants wearing armor. It's as if the titans in AoT were to wear armor and people would start calling it a mecha anime. |

And I mean exactly what I said. What I'd expect from an action scene is power levels you can calculate with, tactics that'd actually work, and a focus on the details. As a negative example here's this : They have attacks powerful enough to smash the cave they fight in, but seem to do no damage to each other. There's a lot of flashing lights an particle effects, but the characters are hidden by them. The cave is basically just an ad-hoc space that's always as big as the next move needs it to be. And like there's the nakama power up BS, the endless talking between hits, the trope of characters moving so fast they can dodge bullets, but you also can't see them do the moves, so the animators just putting some blur there. Or like how the sword hits damage scale by the volume of the shouting... But just to end on a positive note: Historically accurate sword fitting is dope. There's no real other YouTube video from this anime, since hardly anyone watched it, but here ye... |

And that a rather narrow view on anime action scenes that appears based on bs shonen bombastic action scenes, theres still plenty of action in anime that is done exceptionally well for example, Cowboy Bebop has great action and also Ghost in the Shell has great action scenes on your last comment, realistic sword fighting barely ever happens in media since its not as exciting as what they put in films hence why they make it more stylized etc. Like if it was realistic duels would be over in seconds and wars would be a bunch people rolling around in the mud. |

| konosuba is a mediocre, try-hard, unfunny glorified piece of media/comedy show that I've seen. Unfunny skits, and 'jokes'. An annoying main character that shouts/yells most of the time in almost all his dialogs, he shouts or yells. Is shouting/yelling really a comedy? Jeez. The mc depends so much on yelling and shouting. Uninteresting, and also annoying side characters. Handyman Saitou in Another World has far better comedy, characters, and art/visuals/animation. |

I did not watch many mecha indeed, I could only find 1 with an adult cast, and even that pulled the child in a weapon of mass destruction cliché halfway through. Anyway, I wasn't really trying to prove that anime can't do storytelling, just got annoyed that Monster was the example. And nope, I have no idea who that is. |

| -vinland saga season 2 is mediocre. cringe drama with entry level philosophy with some of the most laughable character development. -even though it's old... evangelion is still a pretentious zoomer trash. -jojo is shit -mecha are trash, including gundam. |
