These days it seems like everyone just says things with the goal of getting a reaction.

"Demon slayer is mid,

One piece is peak.

no Vinland saga is peak, also aot is mid!"

to a normal person, we sound fucking braindead with these discussions. There is 0 effort in understanding the otherside. people in general are terrible at NOT arguing to win, but we don't even go that far. half us anime fans are just doing a shitty roast battle!!!

so lets fix that, next time you disagree with someone, listen to them, their perspective may be valuable. it may help you understand why they love/hate the thing you are talking about.


or not.

demon slayer is mid, Black sails and steins;gate are peak fiction, and anyone who disagrees with me is both stupid and racist. bye

speak for yourself.
also, i recognize you, that's never a good sign.
thats all for you.

but for sensible people, there's nothing wrong with those statements. they just communicate a lack of interest in serious discourse from whoever is saying it. and that's fine.

for the record, i fully support this quotation ("Demon slayer is mid, One piece is peak.") since the mere notion that i have to dive into my reasoning for it means our ( me and the person im arguing with) idea of what qualifies as 'good' differs wildly so there effectively is no point in the discussion.

if by that you mean a VERY large portion of the anime community ISN'T like that, you either haven't been around for long enough to notice, or you're just lying to yourself.

Black Sail peak fiction? Holy Jesus Christ
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

the first season is a bit too reliant on keeping the audience watching with sex scenes, since it is by far the slowest part of the story, but as the story develops, you can start to see how it perfectly creates so many different characters that each have their own clashing perspectives, and spends time building some truly incredible dynamics between them, now I understand that this type of "cool" character writing is not for everyone but I think whe.......

wait.... what am I doing???


I can't be reasonable!!!! I'm a weeb!!!! that's blasphemous here!!!!

let me start over again.

 ahem....


YOU ARE JUST NOT SMART ENOUGH. BLACK SAILS IS PEAAAAAAK, L TAKE. LOLOLOLOLO

ALSO NIER IS MID (I'm 20 hours into it and it's a fantastic game actually, that "this can not continue" song is one of the coolest music transitions I have ever seen) BUT IT'S MIIIIIID AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Using critical thinking skills to form arguments is mid. No but seriously, having debates with people is pointless, I’ve never had nor seen a debate where the other side said: “You know what, you’re right.”, because they are usually already emotionally entrenched in their position. No point in trying so might as well just piss people off for fun instead.

even if no one changes their stand, having to explain why you disagree, helps a lot with putting your thoughts into words, and understanding what you yourself love or hate about the series.

but also, I have personally changed my mind about many things many times when presented with good argument.

so much so that someone roasted me by saying "I have 0 original scores and change my favourite shows every week" which... hurt... 

anyway, if you wanted to chat, I would love to have some healthy debates about anything!!

by the time someone has started a discussion with  "Demon slayer is mid, One piece is peak.", that discussion is already ruined. so, yeah, I would agree with that.

but if someone actually started explaining what makes them believe demon slayer is better, and they were good at it, maybe, one could understand their perspective, instead of it ending up as a dick measuring contest.

I have not seen one piece, but I am SURE, there are at least some aspects where you can argue demon slayer is better. even without seeing it, I am pretty certain I would think one piece is way better. but that doesn't mean there aren't ANY reasonable arguments that can be made in support of demon slayer.

I assume by that you mean vinland is good now.

so this is very weird.

you are actively making enemies with 2 lines, just to say the "I don't have any enemies" show is good now.

Yeah people who discuss like that sound like fucking idiots, like what's the point if you're just gonna call something "mid" or "peak" without any kind of elaboration?
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

Demon Slayer is mid.

Also Mid x Family is also mid.

Is there any need of explanation?

no no, you have a point.

demon slayer is mid by battle shounen standards, but kiss x sis (ova) is peak fanservice.

if you look at it this way, you have a point.

Depends on the conversation if the other person requires a very quick sentence than I am making such thing, when I was telling to the buddy what Black Clover is than I just described it as "Magic word, MC is like Naruto who has a dream and hardcore gym lover like Rock Lee and the show is not bad either "peak" " without saying more.

About the shows you've mentioned - Black Sail haven't seen. Steins Gate was quite good, but unfortunately I don't remember that much about it than basics, was quite sad that Makise wasn't in 0 [haven't played visual novel so I ain't knowing those roots of alpha, beta etc.], Demon Slayer is fine, the best part was Red District while the Smithing Village was the worst it could have been done withing half or less episodes of what they've shown in whole season. One Piece and it's art style aswell as character design throw me off so badly that I am sure I won't watch it.

Whoever disagree... You should try to say more than just one word about a show, afterall you've said by yourself about it.

no no, I still view vinland in the same regard, just check my score but I really can't make fun of it because of a gentlemen's agreement

that last part was more of a joke to give an example of how dumb it sounds when you just throw your opinion without any extra details.

steins;gate the original is what I think is masterclass.

0 is good, and I love it, but it does have a LOT of problems.

I haven't even seen one piece, I just threw it there as an example.

black sails is REALLY good for what it is trying to be. but the first season IS the weakest part.

the show starts as a like low 8 or high 7/10. end of s2 is when you start realizing that it's actually REALLY fucking good.

I wasn't serious about it either. I haven't gone into details cause right now I don't think anyone would like to see an essay about some titles in this thread, if there will be an intersting thread about a specific title or type of titles, like the last thread which was quite interesting was about Isekai worlds and what are interesting takes on them it was like 2-3 months ago that thread, than I will write some details as that one was encouraging for details. This thread with no offence doesn't encourage me especially that I don't know about what shows I would need to write specifically without the 2 mentioned by you.

I'm playing automata.

the story has barely started, but it already has introduced many super interesting concepts.

the gameplay is great, but it does have some balancing issues. for the most part it's too easy on normal, and too hard on hard. I've been mostly ok with hard though. I did have to switch to normal, after dying 3 times at the final boss of the hour long intro. which doesn't have check points. and 2 of those death were by getting one shotted.

but I have been having fun playing the rest on hard.

I have a feeling that the story will be a part of it too, but what so far has blew me away is the music and aesthetic. idk how to describe it, the music just perfectly capture the feel the story is going for. Like when I entered the carnival place, the theme song of it was such perfection. it made me feel guilty about killing the enemies. it's such a happy, yet innocently tragic song. I can't really put it into words, it just captures the feeling that you have to be feeling so perfectly.

 Personally I appreciate  someone who can tell me why he likes or dislikes a show regardless if I like it or not than someone who will just say ''steins;gate mid'' if anything better to not react to the second example because I have seen a lot of people who use mid ro peak (espesially mid) just to bait reactions.

But the point is, in most cases people don't want to sparkle a discussion. I don't necessarily need to sparkle a discussion if I want to say that AoT is mid and Bleach TYBW is the rock bottom of battle shounen, I just want to speak my mind because if the same few users keep spamming their takes on AD, people might get a wrong impression of what the general opinions of AD users are.

that is exactly the problem

they just say it to have said it. then you just say it to have said it response. and then they do it again to counter your response. 

and that's how the vast majority of anime discussions end up looking like anime fans are all mentally challenged!!

It's a chain reaction that we need to stop little by little. every party just leaves these ""arguments"" if you can even call them, both annoyed, and having gained nothing from it. it's just pointless.
