Can anyone explain to me the rationale behind hiring CGDCT writers to write action stories, while action fantasy writers are being hired to write CGDCT?

Nachtwandler_21 said:


Norimitsu Kaiho - CGDCT writer. Are you trolling?

RobertBobert said:


Compared to this project, GakkouGurashi is CGDCT. This manga even has an appropriate audience in the west who don't care about anything other than ships and moe.

And, he wrote a bunch of action VNs/manga besides it.

I'd expect them to flex all that money they get from hosting a craptong of gacha games and running some banking services like Cygames did with their gacha money, but it doesn't seem so. Well, at least it not being "cute girls doing bullshit", idols or isekai is already making it worth checking out. Though the director and scrip writer having nothing worth mentioning among their past projects plus couple of bad eggs is quite worrisome.

RobertBobert said:


Yep, most of which are either non-action or lowkey adaptations. Man, he can write a good dark thriller, but shonen-ish action? What experience does he have in this?

Animillion said:
Thank you for pointing out the “cute girls doing bs” and idol anime. People only crap on isekai and forget that isekai is not the only overpopulated genre now. Isekai slander is widespread and warranted, yet if someone dare say anything bad about CGDCT, people go after you, at least in my experience.

SLANDER about ANY genre is bullcrap and should be harshly punished. also, if it is written/printed statements... as on the internet... say here. it's called libel. slander is legally defined as a spoken word. but if somebody is purposefully lying or trying to ruin any genre's image, they should be dealt with!

i personally dislike the idol and sports genres of anime. but i don't actively go out of my way to influence people about them.

KiliianSleipnir said:


shonen-ish action... here, just read the list for yourself since you seem to have skipped a few titles: https://myanimelist.net/people/6333/ start with the finale movie to Guilty Crown and move forwards to the more recent works.

RobertBobert said:


By the way, yes. But I would remove the "now" because those genres were over the top even before isekai came into existence.

Animillion said:

I guess I just noticed how prevalent these types of anime are recently due to the increase in their popularity. This season really stood out to me with just how many there were.

KiliianSleipnir said:



did you even READ Kaihou Norimitsu the script writer/series composition filmography and printed materials here on MAL?


true, this is Oguro Akira the director's second 'head boss' job. but he has been a key animator, animation director, and a few other jobs.

Antanaru said:
Yes and I see Kanata no Astra (garbage), Luck & Logic (garbage), Guilty Crown (garbage) OVA, Gakkougurashi (cute girls doing shit) and some manga-after-anime leftovers.

Calal-Chan said:
Gakkougurashi really getting slandered for no reason. It is a fantastic show that isn't just girls doing cute shit.

LoveScope said:
Isn't Youko mostly known for her role as Mio now and forever?

It became Resident Evil (live action). What did you expect?

Antanaru said:


Yes and I see Kanata no Astra (garbage), Luck & Logic (garbage), Guilty Crown (garbage) OVA, Gakkougurashi (cute girls doing shit) and some manga-after-anime leftovers.

RobertBobert said:


Since when is a manga adaptation of Guilty Gear a good experience in writing a shonen-ish show?

RobertBobert said:


Huh, there were people who literally spread slander against the authors of one of the manga because they hated anime. Yes, some haters are ready to go even that far.

KiliianSleipnir said:


re-read that filmography one more time and check his credited role on Guilty Crown. he wrote the anime script.

KiliianSleipnir said:


well if you see it, report it. :) i doubt the MAL rules will let folks just come out and openly lie slash trash bash and whatnot. the majority of the 'really flaming hot piles of crap' people i've come across on MAL don't keep their profiles long because normal folks keep reporting those 'dirty bastards' and whatnot. those 'DB' have to keep churning out dummy profile after dummy profile to keep their greedy and tiny hearts beating like miniscule evil drums.

i'm not talking about heated debates, and reasonable disagreements, or just plain 'you are SOOO off your rocker i cannot talk to you at all!' kinds of things. i'm talking about deliberate and predetermined malice aforethought writings, specifically meant to injure a person or persons' image (or other entity/object) in some way.

i spent 14+ years in the US Army as a Military Policeman. i came across one unnamed individual's unmentionable writings here on MAL and after finishing it? i was about one minute away from digging through Google and getting the FBI, NSA, and a few other police agencies' addresses and emailing them a long and detailed transcript and screenshots and more... that person's writings set off so many 'red flags' in my head i felt like i was at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and EVERY marching band's flag-squad was waving crimson fabric.

then i stopped and figured, 'ah what the heck, i'll try it.' i shot a report up to the MAL folks and about ahh... i think it was 2 to 3 days later i got a lil form letter in my MAL box stating that persons' writings had been deleted and their profile was being reviewed.

so, in my experience? the reporting system does work. now, what 'da rules of MAL' actually say about what you experienced? shrug! heck if i know! :D read em yourself and see if your experience meshes with some form of some rule violation.

Since when is a manga adaptation of Guilty Gear a good experience in writing a shonen-ish show?

KiliianSleipnir said:



ahhahhh! :o damn i screwed that one up! thanks for calling my attention to my LACK of attention! :D i thought that was the CONCLUSION movie for GC not the prequel. DOH! .forehead smack.

Gunslinger Stratos The Animation, that one does certainly sound shonen. MC is a high-school boy.

Neppuu Kairiku Bushi Road... mhm that one sounds shonen as well.

Akudama Drive... well i did watch this one. the first 6 episodes. shonen? nah. this one edges too far into seinen for me to consider it for under 18 consumption.

so Mr. Norimitsu isn't ENTIRELY in-experienced writing/working on shonen scripts.

RobertBobert said:


If all shows with teen boys were considered action shonen, then every BL mangaka would be a shonen master. Not to mention that the mere fact of writing a show doesn't mean you have a good experience with it.

KiliianSleipnir said:


interesting but incorrect premises all around. almost every sentence was incorrect. you flipped the genre entirely to one that OBVIOUSLY isn't shonen action etc. by using BL ... not quite the coherent discussion point. also, not all BL is teen boys... last time i checked there were four? adult male ones in TV/movies ... maybe 3? in this year alone? i don't follow that genre at all so i just have a vague inkling there was a couple.

shrug, it's just like the idea if i threw into the ring GL/yuri/lesbian books and inserted that into a discussion about non-shojo romance writers doing shojo romance scripts.

i didn't say Mr. Norimitsu is highly, or greatly, or even impressively experienced... i said he wasn't ENTIRELY in-experienced. you do one thing once, that gives you an experience. you do it twice, i would guess that gains you twice the experience.

also, i was originally looking at just shonen. originally you stated, "but shonen-ish action" and "Since when is a manga adaptation of Guilty Gear a good experience in writing a shonen-ish show?" i just said two of the titles he did scripts on sounded like they were shows aimed at the shonen age-bracket. if you read further into those two titles yes they ARE shonen action shows.

when HASN'T an adult or middle/high school aged (or younger) person being an author's main character meant that project was aimed at ... that exact same age bracket and probable sex of readers/viewers? the reader/viewer most closely identifies with the central personage of the writing. if the consumer is similar to the central character (in one or more ways) that leads to a more closely relatable experience for the consumer.

you wouldn't file Winnie The Poo in adult fiction shelves at the bookstore would you? Christopher Robin isn't exactly an action-adventure main character leading a spy-network of anthropomorphic animals to protect their woodland country from enemy agents of the pastures and grain-fields communal labor bloc.

Oh, thank you for completely killing my motivation to discuss something with you, just starting to write walls of text and bombard me with massive amounts of scarecrows instead of thinking through the meaning of my short comment to the point. Goodbye.
