| Omg, skyrim reference, loool xD Again, a very entertaining episode, if you don't take everything too seriously ;-) Also, that game seemed very fun^^ Too bad we can't have it :-( And lol'ed at that 'no nipples, no vaginas, nude' part^^ Though I find it hard to believe that the imouto had no problem with it ;-) |

Uber_Dewber said: Okay, this episode has officially won me over. Sticking with this series until the end, that was ABSOLUTELY epic. By the way, what's up with all these people nit-picking the crap outta this anime just because they didn't like something about it? It's entertaining, go be a negative-nancy elsewhere! its called criticism and probably just looks that way cause MAL is totally losing its shit over a pretty standard flawed LN show that happens to have some solid production values again. |
Takuan_Soho said: Kaioshin_Sama said: its called criticism and probably just looks that way cause MAL is totally losing its shit over a pretty standard flawed LN show that happens to have some solid production values again. Uhm, stating your opinion on something doesn't make it criticism. Also, just because you don't like something doesn't make it a "flaw". So far all you have said is that you hate it because its wish-fulfillment and neet glorification. That is opinion, which even if true (which it isn't), wouldn't be a flaw. I don't ever remember saying I hate it. Wow man how do you consistently post stuff like this and what's with these forums in general sometimes. I feel like I've made plenty of criticisms but people just always ignore them on MAL and don't seem to actually ever read what others posts so whatever lol. People are going to lose their shit over this show every week now regardless of what happens cause its a community bandwagon hype thing so I don't see what people care if one or two people don't exactly parrot the shows perceived qualities back at them and have opinions of their own. MAL should try my approach more, it might actually make for a rare actually discussion other than "Hurr epic lolz". Anyway just one more time to clarify here are some ups and downs for the show: + Excellent art quality + Interesting use of music + Some amusing one liners - One dimensional underdeveloped and unlikable cast - Flawed game logic with too loose rules that often rely on having to have an opponent make a far fetched series of mistakes and avoiding an easy winning move to have heroes succeed +/- Sometimes kind of titillating but sometimes gross and unwelcome fanservice If people disagree fine but to now say once more I haven't pointed anything out or am just hating is laughable. |

| I think i've watched every episode about 3 or 4 times just cause. lol. I love the anime and light novel so much :D Think i'm gonna reread volumes 1 to 3 chapter 3. (Chapter 4 and epilogue aren't subbed yet). |

| They actually made a Skyrim joke reference, liking the show more! xD |

KumaKing said: The game they played in this episode got so freaking intense. I knew shit was about to go down the minute Sora started the game with the hydrogen bomb lol And then it ended with the HYPER NOVA that was so awesome This episode Sora did a "Omega Good Job!" -Shiro 2014 THIS! but that nude stuff fanservice (showing a naked child) was unecessary and too much. i mean, i dont mind the kissing scene wich was made because of exchanging air to breath or neary naked women or breasts of them, but naked childs is wax too much. |
Madara31 said: Great episode, that was probably the most epic game of anything I've ever seen, and Jibril was awesome. I can't believe they made an arrow to the knee joke though, Lol. I thought the world had escaped from that meme. yeah. it beats Jumanji. xD but playing Jumanji could kill you for real. *lol |
| Loving this show more and more :D That skyrim reference at the end though >.< |

Criticisms are "whys" and "whats" not "cuz". Why do you think that Sora is one dimensional, or Steph, or even Shiro. What about them would you want to know more about? What is it about the games that are illogical (or flawed) and where could the opponent make mistakes or avoided easy winning moves. Other people have provided reasons, though for the most part they have been refuted. The chess game was logical, and no kurumi couldn't have done something different without violating the worldview this story has created. Same with this episode. Jibiril never considered Sora a threat until the second to last of his statements (and even then she didn't consider him a threat, but she did respect him), her ending the game sooner would have been boring for her (something that Sora even stated after the bomb start). Provide a reason then you are making criticisms, stating generalizations based solely on your personal opinion, while not pointless, certainly doesn't justify your making a dozen or so posts PER THREAD, repeating your generalizations. You want to insult people's intelligence by claiming their tastes suck (which is what you are doing), then prepared to be challenged in return. Don't act like a spoiled child when people turn things you say back on you. No I think that's actually a criticism and an opinion buddy but good try anyway. Hope you get the requisite props on your profile for standing up to my tyranny and what not though. Personally I don't really give a damn if people think my criticisms and opinions of the show aren't accurate. If it makes them feel better they can totally feel that way and I'm sure they will since it's currently the hottest shit on MAL. The way I see it either side of the discussion is being pretty dismissive of the others views on the show so I think we're pretty even if I continue to hold the opinion that the average viewer seems to have really low standards if they have any at all. Just figure it's worth saying one last time that there is such a thing as in-between pure unadulterated fervent love and hate for hates sake. Also hey, if people feel like making what basically amounts to the same "lol epic" post over and over every week I really don't see why I should feel bad for reiterating some points when the really defensive posters start coming out to try and police the posters that aren't exactly parroting this shows merits back to the rest of the thread or just posting generic hype comments. |

| First off, I must clap my hands for seeing people discussing about the physics, but I don't think you understand the basis of the game, right? Even if something is erased (like all other gases, except O2), this thing may still be created; Sora and Shiro continued producing gases through breathing. Now, there are 2 mistakes most people here are doing. 1- Believing the Hyper Nova and all of those reactions would have occurred after erasing Coulomb's law. 2- Believing Sora erased Coulomb's law. If Coulomb's law was erased, all of the rest that happened would have been invalid for our physics. However, Sora erased Coulomb's FORCE. Coulomb's force depends on the charges and distance of the particles. Erasing it, I theorize Sora actually erased the charges of the particles. By erasing that, the only force of attraction left would be gravity. In the following impact of particles and atoms, the friction would have transformed other forms of energy and energized the particles again, but they would be at a much lower distance and he impact would release much more energy, generating the chain of reactions of the episode that would cause the hyper nova. Sora temporarly erased the charges of particles, not a physics' principle. That's why those events and reactions still happened, which would have not been possible if he had erased Coulomb's LAW |

Takuan_Soho said: Kaioshin_Sama said: No I think that's actually a criticism and an opinion buddy but good try anyway. Nope, and you are an idiot to think otherwise. You are like the person who upon watching Citizen Kane goes "he was an ass, therefore the movie sucks". People who can't explain why something is are not critics, but unthinking rubes. Kaioshin_Sama said: Hope you get the requisite props on your profile for standing up to my tyranny and what not though. Personally I don't really give a damn if people think my criticisms and opinions of the show aren't accurate. If it makes them feel better they can totally feel that way and I'm sure they will since it's currently the hottest shit on MAL. LOL, I am here because I am bored and I like animation. This is why I go to extreme lengths in my explanations of shows. To be frank, I don't care about you. You just provide a fun target for me to wax on. That is what you are. Ignore me, and I couldn't care less. But to ignore me means you have to run away, ah the conflict the conflict! Kaioshin_Sama said: The way I see it either side of the discussion is being pretty dismissive of the others views Untrue, the defenders have gone to great lengths to explain the science or the logic of the chess game. The detractors, such as yourself, only pout "I don't like it". Take your response for instance. I do notice that you still haven't provided a "who, what, where, when, why, or how". You just pout, like you did against Shaft/Kyoani. You have no facts, only your uninformed, ignorant opinions. Kaioshin_Sama said: on the show so I think we're pretty even if I continue to hold the opinion that the average viewer seems to have really low standards if they have any at all. Just figure it's worth saying one last time that there is such a thing as in-between pure unadulterated fervent love and hate for hates sake. Let me be clear here, you don't love or hate, you are incapable of either emotion. The only thing you want is to be "superior" to what you view as fanboys. You gain value from defeating fans of a show for, well, being fans of a show, yet you don't have the self awareness to know how pathetic that is. Hence you attacked Shaft and Kyoani as being "representative" of Japanese animation either though the number of hits either studio has had in the past 5 years has been truly trivial (which after around 2,428 posts you finally admitted to, even though had you spent 5 minutes to actually look at the data you could have figured this out for yourself). To use a NGNL analogy, you are Jibili, you have no curiosity, only the burning desire to think you are superior. As Sora pointed out, that isn't your strength, its what makes you weak. Kaioshin_Sama said: Also hey, if people feel like making what basically amounts to the same "lol epic" post over and over every week I really don't see why I should feel bad for reiterating some points when the really defensive posters start coming out to try and police the posters that aren't exactly parroting this shows merits back to the rest of the thread or just posting generic hype comments. Because it is incumbent upon you to prove your point. One cannot prove a negative. If you think this show sucks, list your arguments. But see you don't you just state opinions. That is why you are a joke, not just on this thread, but all threads. People are not laughing at you because they "don't get you", rather they are laughing at you because they get you only too well. I don't understand what else there is to explain here is the problem. I think there's just like a fundamental difference of what constitutes a good or proper criticism of something going on here that is impossible to make up the gap for so why should I waste my time just rehashing the things I've already stated over and over again only for you to just dismiss them as you have been. Total waste of time. Frankly I don't understand why you spend so much time trying to defend the tastes of people who probably don't even know why they claim to like something in the first place nor even bother to read what other people post anyway, but on some level I kind of admire the sheer commitment I have to say. I used to be naive like that thinking I was making a difference by putting so much effort and in depth arguing into the things I enjoyed when other people tried to trash them, but eventually I smartened up and realized most people just plain don't care cause it takes them too much effort to read more than a paragraph anyway. And no I don't feel superior, I just wish more people weren't so bloody complacent and just follow the herd in which ever direction it chooses to go. That's why at the end of the day as you sit here trying to insult me and say all those things about the kind of person you think I am (most people will never understand anyway so I don't really hold it against them) I still think you're a hell of a lot better than most posters in this thread because at least I can tell those thoughts are your own and you really do mean it. Makes a pretty big difference. |

| Wow, so many people take this show too seriously and got way too scientific. Yes, there are many scientific fallacy. Removing any part inside the planet will cause major collapse of lithosphere. (I facepalm when I read someone's comment that litosphere is eggsell) Removing Coulomb force will cause every matters too collapse into dark hole. Even though the rule prevent direct damage to players, it will collapse MC cloths and kill him in a big nuclear explosion first. There are long list of logic and science fallacies, but my point is not to pick on them. It will just ruin your enjoyment of the episodes. Remember, this is comedy/ ecchi lighthearted supernatural version of Liar Game, turn off your brain and enjoy it as is. |
| Man people get so defensive, personal and just plan nasty over this show and again I just don't even know why. I'm beginning to see more and more the sort of person that it attracts as it's core audience and honestly I can kind of get why they would identify with this cast and it's premise. It's actually kind of a perfect fit. Say anything against this show or don't exactly parrot back how great it is to the thread and people freak the fuck out. No wonder these threads are so full of bandwagoners and just people policing opinion on it. I doubt most people would have anywhere near the patience or tolerance levels to put up with much of this stuff so all the other critics and people that aren't 100% signed on to the hype bandwagon for this show have probably already left. |

Botato said: @Kaioshin Gee can't you get any more condescending? Hey man as long as people are being defensive and obnoxious about the show it makes it pretty damn easy. If the atmosphere coming from the thread were even a little less hostile towards any remotely negative opinion or criticism of the show and people weren't constantly trying to beat me over the head with it's supposed objective and unquestionable infallibility then maybe I'd be more inclined to say nicer things. You kind of get what you give and frankly I see a lot more condescension coming my way than I feel I'm giving. Maybe if somebody would ask me to share something without being a complete twat about it and basically calling me an idiot or hater I'd be more inclined to engage them in further discussion but they give me little else to react to other than to just balk at their behavior and utter lack of anything resembling social graces and an understanding of how to interact with and converse with people. gamer5's attempt at engaging me in particular was arrogant and trollish as it comes. I have no desire nor obligation to respond to any of that and ditto goes to the stuff I'm getting from Takuan_Soho. Why would I want to have a conversation about this show with people like that and their clearly absolutist opinions when it's not going to accomplish anything and just leads to more of the same insults and people telling me how stupid and wrong I am? Utter wast e of time on people like that. Again though it actually says a lot to me and I'm starting to understand more and more why this show is so popular with the audience it has because I'm now absolutely certain the characters are actually quite relatable to them while to me they're just kind of obnoxious. |

I'm not criticizing them for liking it right now, I'm criticizing them for bad posting and manners. I think there's a difference. I really can't help it when people make it this easy to criticize them for acting like obnoxious fanboys, but again that has nothing to do with whether they like the show or not. To me it seems like there's more of a massive freakout that I have some negative things to say about it than I have to say for people that do. Do I get why people are totally losing their shit over this show? Maybe a little more now if probably not for the reasons most people would think but hey that's totally up to them. It says a lot about the peoples here's lack of ability to see anything beyond their own personal outlook and egocentrism that they somehow turn it around so that I'm the only one dishing out any sort of attacks here, while I'm sure those people think they're just putting me in my place for not jumping on the latest hype bandwagon and loving the "AOTS" etc. |

Look I have an opposite opinion concerning those points and I try to understand why you think of this show like this; not because I want to bash you but to know your thought process. It is clear as night and day that once you will post these examples I and several others will try to refute said examples, but if you have solid points there is a point at which I need to accept your opinion, tastes differ after all. But what I can't stand is when people generalise their own opinion to adress all peole watching this show. You started this out with your own opinion and while this discussion went on you more and more started to project your opinion on those who like this show, which is what I despise. Once sb generalises their own opinion and start saying things like "everyone who is 18 yo and more and likes this show should go into therapy" I just can't accept this opinion anymore and I want concrete proof of what they are talking about; you could say I get defensive but that is my good right, isn't it, it concerns me, too, after all. Look I even get your annoyance in the "Why is this show so popular"-thread, when everyone just postes an one liner with sth like "cuz its fun" as for me that is a hollow point. But in the end this opinion aligns with mine and is in the overhelming majority, to ask each and every person why exactly they like it and what is "so fun" would take much more time as just posting sth aganst the opposite opinion. Concerning your +/- point imo you mean that you sometimes can't stand the KIND of the fanservice, not the fact there is fanservice involved at all; at least for me you don't seem to be such a dumb person to actually hate any kind of fanservice in an ecchi anime. That's all I asked for. I'll try to get some material to you on your wall and we can have a back and forth tomorrow since I'm heading off to bed. Like I said I'm down for something like this if there's a remote chance it might lead to an actual reasonable discussion since I actually agree that more specific examples are ultimately necessary in arguments like this, but I'm not going to waste my time on people that demand I spend my time going into more detail and then proceed to insult me. Thanks for having some decency and at least being willing to meet me halfway here. I don't know why so few people get it but that's all I really ask for otherwise I wouldn't be nearly as "condescending" as some people put it. Again you get what you give right :D |

Do I get why people are totally losing their shit over this show? Maybe a little more now if probably not for the reasons most people would think but hey that's totally up to them. Bad posting results from the many comments saying things along the lines of 'otaku pandering' and 'people have shit tastes for liking this' etc. Not necessarily saying you said those things, but these threads have had those kinds of posts since the show began. I would assume that is the reason for the general atmosphere of this thread. I can give reasons why I myself like it: However I don't expect you to understand these reasons or agree with them, because we might not have similar tastes. I find it funny where you might find it stupid, etc... So when you continue to ask people why do they like it, then say something along the lines of "they just like it because of otaku pandering/bandwagon/ or whatever else that can be considered condescending or insulting" then you're the one being obnoxious and OF COURSE you will get obnoxious remarks, ESPECIALLY considering how much the haters/fanboys war have changed the attitude of almost EVERYONE posting here. My point is, if you think there's a massive freakout, then don't contribute to making it worse. |

| Wow it's been a while since I last heard that arrow to the knee joke XD Loved the science stuff. I was like "wait what does that mean again?" *thinks for a couple of seconds* "Oh now that makes sense!" haha. The other two were fine but naked Shiro doesn't sit too well with me though. |
