There wasn't an argument to begin with, just ignorance and fanboyism

I've never watched OP or FT but here's my two cents. Your hate for OP is almost like a kind of fanboyism and since you've only watched 6-7 episodes, wouldn't you call yourself ignorant about the series? I'm guessing you just have an inferiority complex because people call FT a "poor man's One Piece".

The first arc of Railgun S is darker


I would have guessed it did seeing how the rating jumps from PG-13 to R. I guess I will just skim to there then.


It's not much better so don't get your hopes up.

No, JD2411 is just a troll. That's been established for a while now

Back on topic, Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I tried watching it a few years ago when it was at the height of its popularity but the first few episodes were "meh". It's well loved in the community but it just isn't my thing. Another anime is Mirrai Nikki but I don't think I have to explain myself there.

Way to disregard a valid criticism by calling me a troll!

Also Cresherhsm I don't update my list regularly as mentioned on the previous page, I have seen more of One Piece and listed what I don't like about it previously as well

I was pretty excited to watch Ga-Rai Zero after Fate/Zero (and the first Kara no Kyoukai movie to a lesser extent) and was pretty damn disappointed. Too much faith solely in a director I suppose.

Why did you find it disappointing?

Durarararara - Pretty boring first section.

I finally found someone who agrees with me. I finished the first part ( headless rider part) in 3 months but finished the rest in 2 days. It was so pointless and boring.

I wouldn't force yourself. If you didn't like the first season then although the second season will be more to your preference it will still not impress you that much.

I'm still able to appreciate Railgun a good deal myself. Guess I'm not too old for it, despite being older than the one that is too old.

I wanted to start Saint Seiya since the story seemed very good...IN THE SYNOPSIS.

There are many classics/old school hyped series that I disliked.But I genuinely hated SS.

I actually thought the second season was significantly better than the first, but oh well.

I thought Koko's plan that she'd been planning since the first season was crap. And the ending with him coming back felt like it would better fit in a kids show.

Asspulls in every single fight,inconsistency with powers/power levels and characterization,characters villains or not that are dumber than a chicken's feather,repetitive.

Bronze Saints reach Mach 1
Silver Saints reach mach 5 and Gold Saints/God Warriors/Marine Generals reach the speed of light and their power levels are vastly different.

Speed and power don't necessarily go hand in hand. You can be faster than a guy but weaker than him. Armor alone doesn't determine how powerful a saint is but the ability to boost your cosmos. From the episodes I have been watching the Silver Saints are garbage compared to Seiya, Shiryu, Hyoga , Shun, Ikki. These bronze saints have more potential than the silver saints just lke Goku had more potential than Vegeta even though he is not an elite like Vegeta.

In SS and most shounen series speed and power DO go hand in hand. If character A can run circles around character B, character A is most likely also more powerful, more durable, has more stamina, etc.

And I actually agree with ssjokg with regard to the original SS. There are so many asspulls and lots of inconsistencies with the power levels/scaling. Also, not only are there no important and competent females in the series, there are hardly any females AT ALL. Furthermore, the fights always rely too much on raw power and always lack any modicum of clever planning or tactics. Having a higher cosmos just seems to be capable of trumping anything, which is dumb. All these things suck out the suspense and intensity of the fights, making them boring, predictable, and repetitive.

Thankfully, SS Lost Canvas and SS Episode G avoid these shortcomings most of the time.
