LightBrand said: HaXXspetten said: The amount of suspense wasn't one of the issues I had with the show. I found No Game No Life to be one of the most entertaining anime I've seen. It's actually the only anime I re-watched within 2 weeks of first seeing it. My main problem was how overpowered Sora and Shiro were. They both had so much knowledge from being from another world, and they were able to hold their own against people from Disboard just by reading the history books and stuff. And to top it off, a lot of the time they were allowed to combine their knowledge during the games. So pretty much anything Sora didn't know, Shiro did (and vice-versa). It just felt really contrived to me.Well the concept the show was going for wasn't to raise suspension over who would win or lose, it was to make the actual games themselves as over-the-top exaggerated and entertaining as possible. It emphasizes the journey rather than the ending so to speak. Also, I disagree that the show wasn't trying to raise suspension. A lot of the fun of watching the games came from waiting to see what move each player would make. Suspense is in the nature of gaming, if you ask me. Nah, it's just like someone already said, it was like yugioh battle. The suspense was so fake that you shouldn't care about it, like the destiny draw for MC. We really don't know a thing about every cards in MC's deck, but something that could always turn the tide will appear as plot demand it, that's how NGNL works, too. |

Also having feelings for something doesnt automatically mean it has to be real. Anyhow, I'm sure there's a lot of people to have certain feelings for characters, be it anime, normal series, films etc. Doesn't compute with me. Never felt something like that. |
| Ofcourse it depends, a show like One Piece, Highschool DxD and Plastic Nee-San wouldn't be as good without the pretty dumb MCs. |

| This is not really a matter of agreement really, thinking outside being dumb is factually wrong, you can post all the tropes and memes and it won't change that. It is kinda sad that people mistake stating facts for stubbornness. |

| It depends; the thing is that you have to be smart yourself in order to write a genuinely smart character. It's the critical difference between showing a character's thought processes and actions to illustrate they are smart, and just calling a character smart, having him pull random shit out of his ass, and saying "IT WAS ALL ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU." |
| And I mean that in the most sexually painful way possible. |
| It depends on the writers. There are some shows that make their characters too intelligent but also hard to relate to. When shows do this, they often lose their audience as well. Here's a general example, but I can't stand characters (or people) who are intelligent while being condescending to others because of it. That's not really a character most people can relate to, yet we see creators making them anyway. I think characters of all IQs can have their charms if they're written well though. That's how you end up with/would have prevented things like NaruSasu. #13 |
| Not necessarily. |
| Shows become more enjoyable as the characters asymptotically approach my level, yes. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| It depends. If there's nobody who can even present a challenge to the MC and the MC's plans are too perfect, then the show will probably end up predictable and boring. Unlike other Death Note fans, I actually thought things were getting more exciting when Near appeared. |

KazuhoYoshii said: It depends. If there's nobody who can even present a challenge to the MC and the MC's plans are too perfect, then the show will probably end up predictable and boring. This also. If it's clear that your MC will always come out on top then it's easy for your audience to lose interest. That's why it's best to be unpredictable in every aspect of your show. NaruSasu would have been unpredictable, but nooo; we get some predictable ending with hetero all over the place. #22 |

| its better that MC that are complitly clueless and dumb |
| An anime with a genius MC is fucking awesome always but it would ruin some anime if you replaced a goofy MC with a smart one. |

| Over-rationality always makes anime feel unnatural, imo. So I go for "no". |
| Sees "Depends" option on poll. See that it's the most voted for. Consider this as you're choosing what to vote for. Vote for it anyways. |
| Nah, just depends on the show. |
 |
| Not really, I didn't really like NGNL though it had extremely smart mc. |
| Only if the antagonist and the supporting characters are smart as well. |

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion. http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30 It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist. |

| I tend to like rational/intelligent MCs mostly when they're ignored by everyone else. Even better is when that happens to not-so-bright characters who try to be tsukkomi. |

| how would the answer not be it depends |
| An anime is better if an mc is well written, whether he's dumb or a genius. |
| Only if it's believable that the character is smart. If you have a character like Inaho from Aldnoah Zero who is just smart because the writers said so, then it lessens the Anime experience. |

Dark_Chaos said: Only if it's believable that the character is smart. If you have a character like Inaho from Aldnoah Zero who is just smart because the writers said so, then it lessens the Anime experience. Yep. Perfect example of how not to write a "smart" character. |
