Also, anyone who has the audacity to make an AOTY remark is kinda full of themself, those should only be around December, not to mention we have many other good shows this year. On the contrary, however, I personally believe that when compared to shows like mob psycho 2, dororo, and the promised neverland, good arguments could be made for and against each show being AOTS. Tl;dr:1st ten minutes of anime ARE generic, no one should say AOTY but after 10 mins of anime, Aots is possible. EDIT: while 15 mins is where the 1st episode starts to break away from generic isekai, it doesn't become majorly different until the 35 minute mark, up until this point it's a bunch of mechanical differences, like weapons or who wants to join his party. |

ap1001 said: Look you want to like the series, its fine, watered down Monte Cristo power fantasy is not yet saturated in anime form. But if I want to scratch the fantasy itch, I would recommend Log horizon before recommending Shield hero. Yeah, I have to watch more of it. Shield bro seemed quite rushed at the start introducing the audience to various things, but overall vibe I get from it is just Log Horizon or better. |

| @Pontic Weasel out? I hate to break it to you, but it is your fault for misreading it in the first place. It was always there, you just chose to ignore it. The male slave has barely any screen time outside Raphitalia's arc. For the most of the story (up until where I've read) he barely exists at all, while the female slaves are prominently featured. I bring up the age because it breaks suspension of disbelief for me, effectively making the story worse. Other bad examples existing doesn't make this one any less bad. The topic is under anime discussion on an anime forum and I'm not allowed to bring up the anime? Your logic is flawless. If you want to criticize my arguments on the LN, then criticize my LN arguments, not anime ones. Because you seemed so worried, I went to the episode and checked his actual phrasing. The direct translation is... (drumroll please) Unlikable MC said: Besides, this princess is a bitch. So instead of calling her a slut, he calls her a bitch and I remind you, this is solely based on an extremely vague drawing of her. So are you seriously saying that calling random woman you know nothing about a bitch not sexist? I'm not American, so don't expect me to feel any sympathy just because some famous guy over there owned slaves. Not to mention, the MC here doesn't even have the excuse of having been raised in that kind of culture to make him think it's okay. @VeryLTTP So basically you're saying that if you choose ignore words from my sentence you're right? Sounds like fun. Let me try too. From your earlier post VeryLTTP said: Implications, themselves, are not absolute and have a level of uncertainty according to the word's definition. Look, if I ignore words from your sentence too, I can make you spout nonsense. |

And since I was talking about the anime in that argument, whether it's true to the source material doesn't matter.

You were not able to prove that your argument was not a non sequitor, so you decided to play the strawman card.

NthDegree said: @VeryLTTP It is a non sequitor only if you randomly decide to ignore words. It's not my fault you chose to do so. You're just asserting without evidence. This is not an argument, whatsoever. If you don't want to address my arguments directly, then just say so. It's rather suspicious that all of a sudden, you shift your "argument" to me ignoring words. It's also extremely ironic as you're guilty of what you're accusing me of doing, i.e. ignoring Occam's Razor, ignoring the fact that saying "kinda imply" only serves to make your claim exponentially uncertain, and that your original "MC is sexist" claim is reliant on subjective opinion instead of direct observation. |

Because I haven't argued for anything further than that (about the anime version anyway). I might as well jump on this claim as I have come with an alternative counterargument. Slut-shaming is not sexist because when a person judges a woman's appearance, he/she is doing it within his/her personal standards. Those personal standards are shaped from the principles, opinions, and mannerisms taught to that person from other people, whether they be parents, friends, or the folks of his/her hometown. By definition, culture is the social behavior and norms formed by society. As a result, slut-shaming is more of a product of cultural prejudice than sexism. Another reason why slut-shaming is not sexist is because this claim relies on the assumptions that slut-shaming exclusively happens against one gender and the slut-shaming is exclusively done by one gender. For your claim to be true, you have to prove that these two assumptions are correct. |

Well, I had a nice reply comparing shield hero to a generic cliche isekai but I'm too tired to retype it's entirety out. Kinda pissed me off so I'll try to keep it short this time. Cliche- Multiple waifus MC is worshipped Damsels In distress Merchant solves finances Either demon king or royal academy Demon king usually never actually does anything nor invades the humans at all. Princess is not a bitch People trust each other for no reason MC is OP AT EVERYTHING, his problems are either solved with shit like skill points(death march) or devouring(slime isekai which is good but still has a cop out) Shield hero- One/no waifu MC is fucking despised for the entirety of the beginning No damsels, just self growth No demon king who doesn't invade, but a constant threat in the waves. Princess - total bitch MC has trust issues, which actually make sense MC kinda sucks He can only use the shield which is shit He has to get a slave to fill in for his weaknesses Not pointless harem, his companions are only with him because of their usefulness and bond to him. Also I watch a lot of anime, but I guess I definitely am biased, sad to say, the anime that got me into anime back in 2015 was overlord, then rezero, and now Tate no yuusha no bariatric. Nonetheless, if you haven't read the source material then you're in for a fun surprise by how non binary this isekai's gender is. In the first episode, the shows isekai-ness is in full view, sometimes you have to use cliches and get creative later. Also what other shows have hardcore fuck you over moments for the MC, and I'm not talking shit like the Netorare in berserk, I might like shows where the MC is trash. |

papsoshea said: Everything you wrote is nothing new, c'mon, I know you're a big fanboy of this show but don't pretend its some earth moving piece of media. As for the trust issues thing, just because it makes sense within the story, doesn't mean it is good writing, it's actually nonsensical - just because the world condemns you and distrusts you, it wouldn't make you buy a slave with the idea that it may never betray you. This is one of many examples of bad writing I have seen thus far, the characters aren't written with much logic. I haven't seen Overlord and Re:Zero but by community standards, that isn't saying much since both aren't regarded as good stories overall and a simply loved through more artificial means. Don't mistake me for saying its trash. Not sure throwing an ad hominem helps your case and in regards to the bolded, that's what we call a moral/ethical dilemma. You may find it to be nonsensical, fair enough, but the idea wasn't written just for the sake of it. Right before the MC met the slave merchant, 3 dudes tried to mug him after "joining" his party. Perhaps you don't see that as a good enough justification for the MC's lack of trust, but the (one of many) reason(s) is there. |
papsoshea said: And those reasons, in my opinion, are just bad writing and seems more like an artificial way to sympathize with a generic MC. Bad writing and artificial in what way? That the turn of events happened too fast or you just don't see those events happening in real life? |
papsoshea said: The whole design that the world hates the MC because he is the Shield Hero and the events that lead to the ending scene of episode 1 is just shouting "please sympathize" with this generic MC. This is my opinion on what is shown so far, of course, don't get so hung up over it. Nah, I'm not hung up over it. I was just curious about your thought process. |
| @VeryLTTP Because you seem to completely miss my point again, how about I explain it to you step-by-step in form of questions? Here comes the first. It may help you if you don't think about these necessarily in the context of Tate but just questions in general. Can you agree that calling a woman slut/bitch solely based on their appearance is a sexist action? |

Eanki said: Anime like Log Horizon and Grimgar didn't receive this much backlash. They have their fair share of haters, like any anime, but never this much this strongly on the first episode alone. You could argue that they were from before people got tired of the isekai fare. Fair enough. Let's go look at Slime then. Again, while it had some detractors, it was and still is fairly well received. Normal. At theses time, Isekai was not "mainstream". And Log Horizon is not that much of a "basic" isekai for me. For Grimgar, i hate the characters but the story itself (with real deaths) is good anyways. End about your post. ^^ Now my own opinion. --------------- Anyways for Tate no Yuusha, i loved the manga. The LN, i didn't tried really ... But i like the first animation for the moment. Someone hating it ? Like Re:Zero ? BAH ! Why i have to care ? I'm here to see reactions. Some will love the anime, some will hate. The more popular is a anime, the more hate he will generate. It's always like that. Some on MAL or others sites would even create multiples accounts to vote 0 on popular animes because they would have a better rank than their anime. I'm already happy to have finally a anime adaptation of this LN and i will see it until the end ! I just want a french publication of the LN ... |

Anyways, i remember Re:Zero had some reviews at the middle of the season where a lot of viewers began to hate Subaru because of his personnality (crying and stuff) ... And because he didn't choose the best Waifu. I think like a lot of series, we need to wait for some episodes, despite the "generic beginning" even if it's not really like that for Tate no Yuusha in my opinion. I began to be tired of theses OP characters where they appear and boom, they are so strong and stuff (like the demon lord from two or three seasons ago). Even Slime Tensei, i don't like that much Rimuru, i'm more interested by the villagers ... Our MC here need others to progress and it's why i like it. :) Damn, i had so much to write despite i'm bad in english. Sorry. |

| I enjoyed the first episode. I hope it actually keeps up in terms of quality, although some people have told me the series loses it's sharpness as it goes on and becomes like your everyday isekai, I'll still see for myself though. Now, just to have my say in some of the other discussions taking place here. Yes, Grimgar was a great isekai. No, Log Horizon was not a great isekai. It was mediocre as it gets, the series mostly deals with P0LitIcZ... no, not politics, but P0LitIcZ. All of it feels so shallow like they're just throwing around ''le big boi words'' for a topic that's in reality a lot more basic than the show portrays it as. And the political aspect of Log Horizon aside, it's cast of characters consists of one dimensional tropes with nothing interesting going on for them. Everyone just loves Shiroe cause he's the viewer's proxy. It's exactly for that type of audience. Akatsuki somehow looks like a 13 year old despite being a college student cause of ''muh weeaboo fetishes''. Any semblance of plot the show has it quickly solves in short arcs and mainly focuses on Slice of Life aspects without anything even remotely major or interesting happening. |

Of course, there are a million ways to insult someone, but these words are the easiest to use and they can fit on any sentences. EDIT: Bottom line. It's the choice of words. Using the word "bitch" doesn't make you anything sexist. |

Pontic said: NthDegree said: @copyrightRingo I would reply to you... but I'd essentially be just repeating what Eanki said. @Eanki Thanks for replying in my stead. Btw I wanted to say this to you in a thread sometime ago but it slipped my mind... Log Horizon is indeed the best isekai. While I understand the allure of Log Horizon, it didn't really land with me because I couldn't stick with the huge cast and how they are treated as a group rather than getting individual attention each. Not to mention the political affairs kinda bored me, similarly to how i watched spice and wolf for the cute romance parts and was bored through all of the economics(although it was interesting at first). @SigmaticDoc ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ |

NthDegree said: @VeryLTTP Because you seem to completely miss my point again, how about I explain it to you step-by-step in form of questions? Here comes the first. It may help you if you don't think about these necessarily in the context of Tate but just questions in general. Can you agree that calling a woman slut/bitch solely based on their appearance is a sexist action? I already offered refutation against the claim proposed in your question. VeryLTTP said: I might as well jump on this claim as I have come with an alternative counterargument. Slut-shaming is not sexist because when a person judges a woman's appearance, he/she is doing it within his/her personal standards. Those personal standards are shaped from the principles, opinions, and mannerisms taught to that person from other people, whether they be parents, friends, or the folks of his/her hometown. By definition, culture is the social behavior and norms formed by society. As a result, slut-shaming is more of a product of cultural prejudice than sexism. Another reason why slut-shaming is not sexist is because this claim relies on the assumptions that slut-shaming exclusively happens against one gender and the slut-shaming is exclusively done by one gender. For your claim to be true, you have to prove that these two assumptions are correct. If you are incapable of providing any sort of counterargument, then just say you cannot make a refutation. It's rather ironic that you are doing exactly what you accused me of doing, i.e. deliberately ignoring certain words to artificially prop up one's argument. Complete projection on your part and I would say the one who is completely missing the point is the person who didn't even bother addressing my points directly. |

I advise everyone who wants some unique isekai to NOT watch this pile of shit. I haven't really read the light novels but I have read a couple summaries, it looks like he gets another female slave who likes him and maybe 2nd princess likes him, but this isn't in the manga yet so I doubt it'll be in the anime either. not to mention a couple "certain events" happen that kinda break the harem. . . just because it wont be in the anime it doesnt change the fact that this will turn into garbage |

In the light novels he gets Rapthtalia and Atla as main harem and if you know anything then you know the situation with atla I suppose that you could include second princess and glass, but they barely get any screen time. Also, if you're trying to get people not to watch the show because of plot points that surface AFTER the part that the ANIME will cover, then it's perfectly rational to tell you to shut the hell up. If that ever comes, then tell people not to watch the second season if it has some inklings of "harem" culture. I'm not sure if you're just tryna troll with a name like AnimeSucks420, but you really oughta shut up instead of bashing shit that most people find no problem with. How dare you come into MY house, eat MY pancakes, and have the AUDACITY to say they taste BAD. Go fuck off, sincerely, Someone who doesn't like the Fate series but doesn't spout it to everyone to seem edgy |

Also if you wouldn't make bullshit posts like this, trying to bait people into watching this garbage fuckfest then i wouldn't have to tell people not to watch it. This ain't your house, its a free forum. |
papsoshea said: You can't call anything AOTS candidates based off 1 episode, this is the hype train passenger logic. No trend victim here, Yes, you can call AOTS candidates based on 1, 2, 3 .... or 11 eps. and still change your mind later if the show fracks it up so bad. Based on what I've seen so far, this show is one of the most entertaining of the season. |
| Random sexism accusations aside, man what a trainwreck of an episode was episode 1. It's actually shocking. Well, at least it was entertaining to witness whatever the hell this was supposed to be. |

| @kzarashi 1. Women can be sexist too. 2. Author's displayed name is feminine but we don't know whether it's a pseudonym. Those seem to be rather common in LN industry.

If it has not been already made apparent from my arguments here and my favorites list, I happen to love politics lol. So some of it is probably just the fact that it's in one of my favorite genres. I could see the argument that my second favorite isekai (Vision of Escaflowne) is better of the two, but LH is my personal favorite. @VeryLTTP So your answer is 'no' then? Very well, second question then... Do you agree that 'bitch' is a gendered insult? |
