Its realistic for extremely important people to die anticlimactically possibly from something as simple as choking on food, that wouldnt make it automatically ok for that to happen to a main character.JizzyHitler said: Wait its a harem?

As long as a relationship develops throughout the story, that is what matters. The reason is unimportant. It is all about execution. The characters are bland in Sidonia, but that was total bs. |

PoeticJustice said: I'm not saying grand scale, what im asking for is context and reasoning, WHY do they like eachother, not something as weak as "I wanna fuck that". Sure they can comment on the other being attractive but leaving that as the ONLY justification behind the relationship is weak and demeans the fact.JizzyHitler said: thats just an excuse for poor characterization.

Ratohnhaketon said: I meant only in the sense of antclimatic deaths brought on by meanial things, like slips on the way down the steps, chokes on food, accidental car crash(may work in slice of lifes if done right). Anticlimatic deaths can be pretty powerful when done right, Legend of the galatic heroes had a really really REALLY powerful one where one of the characters simply passes away in his chair reflecting on all that has happened and what his existence has meant up to this point and for the future. What im trying to say is that those anticlimatic deaths over small meaningless mistakes with no bearing for the greater picture are realistic and very possible but they dont automatically get a pass because of it.JizzyHitler said: There's actually instances where anti-climactic deaths can give more meaning to a scenario, albeit not as a result of choking on McDonalds or eating too many crayons.

| I agree with Jizzy. The problem with 'love at first sight' in storytelling mediums is that they do not invoke any real emotional connection to the viewer, unlike a more developed/'explored' romance does. |

Botato said: kikohunter said: Should be 8.50A score of 8.10 is fine for Sidonia, you're making it sound for more then what it actually is. It's underwatched not underrrated. This. |
cupc said: It makes the relationships feel artificial and as a result also begins to make the characters themselves suffer, A video game called the last story has what could had been a pretty memorable main character be held back by a weak love at first sight romance that makes all his actions and motivations feel fake and as a result made the character bland and forgettable, the romance is also the main reason that game's story went to shit aswell but I'll just be getting of track.I agree with Jizzy.

Gymkata said: Koi Kaze Just wondered if this one has ever been discussed here. Judging by the reviews it seems to fall either in the "$hit" or "masterpiece" category.

That's what made me wonder whether its rank of 1600ish was due more to the subject matter or execution. Hell, I'll try on any "serious" anime, so I'll give it a go. |

In Gantz case, the romance is vital for the protagonist's character development. If you are interested in it, I suggest reading the manga or watching the first season, and switch to the manga. jpem said: Such a shame FMP will go forever unfinished.
