FYI about Project Sekai, the fandom is usually considered to be annoying and childish, even within the fans themselves, as most of them are either kids or teens. Sometimes, they act like the game has the best narrative and character writing. At other times, they openly display their disapproval of straight ships. "Uhh, hetero is so overrated, trans x queer is better" rofl. Remember the story event about Mizuki I told you back then, it's predictable because some kind of woke like Marinate will surely adore ""them"" xxD

Somehow, Netflix alters her unique hairstyle but retains the green lip, so the design looks rather risible. The original also had tons of yuri elements, I'm curious if Netflix will pull an UNO reverse card this time. We already had a black chara becoming a slave, how about having all gay ships straight instead. No more female MC x female prez, but female MC x black MC. Can't wait to see the politics being incorporated to the story lmao.

Thanks for sharing the interview. Watanabe actually wanted a story about the end of the world resulting from drug and painkiller, which is funny. Even the Covid pandemic or Plague in the past can't defeat humanity lol. And it went beyond the suspension of disbelief because no matter how cutting-edge the transport system is, it will never be enough to deliver to every single person in the world. irl, millions of America people still haven't got an ID card. He also talked about multiculturalism, no wonder why there're so many woke ones here. The choreo and animation look decent but it's like eye candy, which leaves no impression so far.

Thought on ep 6 of Kijin? probably the best one to me, quite subtle and mysterious than the sappy drama in prev eps.

The synopsis look like the currently airing black butler series..

Right, it's boring in Witch Watch how everyone discovers their identities so quickly and the whole school thinks it's cool. No clue how it goes after that, but I'm not left with any incentive to continue. Definitely has it's moments but very boring.

lol Vampire Bund is an odd show so far.

I'm convinced that Mange operates on a by any means necessary principle. "Can I deboonk this with what the show offers? No. Well, let me lie and conveniently omit details that would ever make his argument stronger." To be fair, he is a moron, so I probably shouldn't accuse him of lying. Sometimes it really is incompetence rather than maliciousness. Though sometimes I wonder if he's really the Archbishop of Autism rather than Pedantry. Just like with Greta Thunberg, his autism is a superpower. :)


Hopefully Rem will finally be awake to change his nappy and kiss his booboos.

I know of course but they're French movies Last Summer (mother - stepson), The (Ex)perience of Love (exs), Endless Summer Syndrome (father, step daughter) , and there is also this Czech movie, dogs don't wear pants, (rich windowed doctor gets addicted to dominatrix.)

I mean given how masochistic people get with their fetishes nowadays, I think Subaru's suffering is even pretty self-inserty probably, lmfao. But the self-insert stuff can be lightswitched. Peepi go down when Subaru is getting butchered. Peepi go up when he gets to slobber all over Emilia. I mean, even Abuhammed or whatever thought she was more waifuy (as if she wasn't always), with those nice blushes and maxed out assets. Guess it's not just Okeanix who has a body pillow or two from Re:TARD. XD

Right, the Re:TARD superfans are coping hard when it comes to the anti-wish-fulfillment and anti-self-insert stuff. Trying too hard to put their No. 1 on a pedestal. That drowning comparison is quite fitting. XD

Yep, 1/4th in. I have skimmed more of it, like when I first saw it, and I checked specific bits. So I have seen more than that. I'm sure it gets dense toward the end, with Mange foaming at the mouth because of the Archbishop of NTR stuff. Let me borrow a meme from SingleH's comment section that works well here:



Courtroom stenographer comment is by far one of the most damning things that came out of this. Literally, plot summary = this is priceless art that you just didn't understand + deboonked.


He's completely excluding Rui, even though she's featured in S3, which is the one I was joking about. Also, he has comments on his substack now.

I just found a gem:

From my review: "there's a scene where Subaru is driving the carriage and Otto and Emilia are having a friendly conversation in the back. The ever-insecure Subaru almost drives off the road at numerous points for our first dose of cuckold comedy."

His response: Holy shit, talk about reaching. Subaru almost crashing is because he literally can’t concentrate due to the madness of the city and the presence of multiple archbishops. He’s not jealous of Otto (of all people!), they are literally best friends. Also, logically invalid (non-sequitur): two people talking does not imply romantic attraction, you braindead shipper. And since when is being nervous due to the chaos around you a "dose of cuckold comedy"? You legit just made that up.

LOL, I'm starting to think he may have more lies or misunderstandings, one or the other, inserted into his text than I had at first realized. "Can't concentrate due to the madness of the city..." Now he is just making up bullshit copes. That was comic relief in the series. I'm also not shipping the two. Otto isn't a threat; in fact, my usage of the word "friendly" was meant to reinforce how it was just a normal thing--friendly does not imply anything romantic necessarily. The reaction is a product of Subaru's insecurity. Had the Archbishops even arrived yet? Not that it makes any difference if they had or not. Subaru was not acting weird in any other scenes, until Sirius started influencing people. He says "chaos." But the city was peaceful and nothing had happened yet! Is this guy even an LN reader? I'm starting to feel like his grasp of the series is subpar, despite being a superfan.

I'm guessing you soured on Witch Watch quick because of how FMC-centric it is? Constantly from her lovey-dovey perspective. And the dynamic is kind of weak with her gushing over him and him being indifferent chad or whatever. Amazed Gayman isn't watching it. This is Gaymancore imo.

Pretty much this. That's mostly what he does.


Re:TARD is like a support network. Remember that quoted review that Snob found that was like, "Subaru succeeding gives me the will to keep on living." It was something like that. If that is reflective of the average superfan, then it's no wonder they freak out. He acts like it's not self-insert, but he is probably self-inserting hard. XD

The melodrama and soap opera bits make me recall that most people into this stuff aren't so sensitive about it because they tend to think of it as engaging trash on some level, but quite a few things that he defends are equivalent to this, but he combines fandom pretensiousness. Certainly, Re:TARD is better than a soap opera as a whole, but it unfortunately does borrow from that kind of slop for many scenes and moments. Tappei has this kind of kitchen sink approach to emotion, where he just throws everything and hopes it sticks, and it usually just results in an embarrassing mess.

Aside from lack of nuance, it's like he has selective amnesia in a lot of parts, which is probably easy to experience by mistake when you write a disorganized, rambling, and “what if I just kept typing forever” text.

But I'm really just flabbergasted by how nonsensical his response was. I think I'm done poking through his text for the most part. But I might see what he has to say for a few choice bits later.

Wouldn't be surprising to see if he close down all the schools and set up strip clubs and liquor stores. Or something big like melt all the ice in north pole and Greenland.

I've had these moments with sequels where I'm thinking, "Is this sequel really that much worse than what came before or was it never good in the first place and I was too naive when I watched the original?" I usually isolate this uncertainty to my own experience, but I guess when you start basing your entire "media identity" around Re:TARD, like Okeanix and his cadre does, then your mission becomes convincing everyone that, no matter how much of a dip in quality there is, that it's actually another victory for the franchise. All of these guys show a profound insecurity and undying support for the series that's kind of suspicious, with Mange overcompensating the most.


Right, that's the most funny part about it. And I think my summary before about Okeanix's weird behavior also supports that.

lol, would be funny about the Turkish thing, but I think Mange has his Substack set to Spanish, and ForeplayED had a romance language in comments.

Okay, noticed a few more things to quote mine.

"Yeah okay, sure. The episode that finally explains why Wilhelm hates himself, shows how Reinhard inherited the title he didn’t want, and adds an actual moral dilemma to the Sword Saint legacy, THAT’S the one you call “worst”? Because what, it didn’t have a big boss fight? The one episode where characters process the wreckage of their family and it’s too “slow” for you so you write it off? This is what I mean. If a scene isn’t just screaming and punches, you check out. It’s embarrassing. You are immensely stupid."

LOL. He just makes up that it's too slow and lacking in action for me, even though I was complaining about the action. XD

From my review:"“At least half of it's a sluggish, pointless flashback consisting of information the viewer either knew already from the White Whale arc or didn't need to know.”"

"How can it be info we already knew and info we didn’t need. Pick one. Also “sluggish” = didn’t have action. That’s all you mean, and all you explain. And it’s not pointless. We needed to see Theresia’s side. Wilhelm wasn’t just some random cool sword grandpa, he was wrong and he comitted a lot of mistakes in his past in search of fruitless revenge. He lied to himself about what she wanted and ruined his whole family, turning Heinkel into a an alcoholic bum and bullying Reinhard since he was a child for Theresia’s death. The whole point of that episode is that people project what they need to onto others, and that grief warps memory. But you just sat there mad that he wasn’t fighting a whale again. Insane."

This makes no sense. It had elements of both stuff we already knew and new information that was junk. There's definitely a language barrier at times. LOL, back to sluggish meaning no action. XDXDXD

Dude the themes are so pedestrian, yet he thinks he needs to explain it. Just because it's shit doesn't mean it doesn't have thematic purpose. The problem is that it's shit.

"Even then, the director understood the assignment. He leaned in because that is the point. This isn’t clumsy melodrama, it’s characters breaking under weight they’ve carried for decades. You think crying = weakness because you’ve been trained by shallow anime to believe stoicism = good writing. But Re:Zero shows its characters spiral. Fall apart. Scream. Cry. Puke. Die. If that makes you uncomfortable, good. That’s what makes it honest. But hey, if you wanted stoic power fantasy where no one breaks down, there’s like 500 other shows for you."

These bizarre assumptions. Uncomfortable also wasn't the word I was thinking of. More like embarrassed. Honest? I was also thinking inauthentic because it's horribly cliche.

“Self-insertion is a literary device in which the author writes themselves into the story under the guise of, or from the perspective of, a fictional character. The character, overtly or otherwise, behaves like, has the personality of, and may even be described as physically resembling the author of the work.”

"How’s tappei gonna “self-insert” into a character whose flaws he’s actively criticizing? That question alone destroys the whole argument."

Right, self-insertion of otakus and the author as Subaru, the otaku. I don't see how that's hard to contemplate. I guess he's not familiar with how self-insert is used as a term for trashy otaku characters. It's the same for when he whines about me saying wish-fulfillment. So it's impossible for a self-insert character to have flaws? And it can't have elements of self-insert if the character is criticized in any fashion? Self-improvement doesn't involve self-insert ever or at all? "Hey, did you notice that Tappei makes the character grow? He does this thing that's called, um, character development. Therefore, Subaru, like, can't be self-insert or wish-fulfillment at all, like omigod lol. Checkmate!" It's like if you make it a step above the most bare bones depiction then it can't be that thing.

"Yeah bro, heaven forbid a man cry in a story where he is forced to see the person he loves die again and realize how he never once told her he loved her before. Must be fake. Must be forced. Because you didn’t feel it, now the show’s the problem, not you. Imagine watching your own grandson take the title your wife hated and blame him for it, just to end up destroying your family in seek for pointless revenge and now feeling repentment from it. And your reaction is “lol why is he crying so much.”"

"Repentment." Do you think Mange cried to this shit?

That's a pretty detailed analysis of the Christian symbols in the show, tho I wonder how many of them actually have significant impact to the plot and theme other than showing off the pretentiousness xD. If the main idea was just to demonstrate climate change being bad, humanity should be punished, then it certainly will go down as one of the most comically edgy moments in anime history ngl, so much that it'd be neck and neck to monster or orb.

Dude is too busy consuming anime and writing forum posts, I don't think mr. tree-hugger has time to learn smth new, let alone going out and leading a horde of people lmfao. The part where he said "I can see" is funny, considering he had no prior knowledge about vocaloid or project sekai. I guess he based a superficial assumption upon the moeblob visual and idol style. And his claim "Mizuki-chan Oshi!" is quite predictable.

That'd be very awkward if they faithfully adapt the beginning of the show about the MC getting lost, but it's netflix anyway, maybe they will change bits and pieces, who knows.
Did you dislike the sadistic demeanor of the prez, or her green lip, or maybe both? I remember the fmc from yofukashi has some sweet vibes with her, while the prez emanates a strongly contemptuous manner.

I might like Akai Ringo but the plot and character behavior are too dumb and cringe. While I like Bokutachi for other aspects, the romance subplot also feels like shit, or is it the intention? The MC met the bimbo, she touched his pee-pee, and later on, gave him a head. But the MC was too spineless and wimpy to go all out for it. For some reasons, the friend came back, immediately told her to take off. The bimbo objected at first but quickly joined the ecstasy. The MC saw it with a caricature expression, then trailed off. The scene was quite comical as it tried to look like NTR, while it should be the other way around instead.

Yeah, that's weird how Mohammed agrees on some main things with me, but was part of the presumed Mange circlejerk. His criticisms of the series are accurate and a good indication of how S3 is weakened. It's just that he's a "maximum glazer" and loves it no matter what it does. I can't speak for how the LNs compare, but given many of the visual cues here, I'm sure they made it much worse in the anime. I can't see an author writing some of the things that they showed that were so comical.

The 10 paragraph break down is very funny because I don't think that's even the end of my first paragraph. The guy needs to be more concise as a writer than that, and I'm sure his language teacher hated him. This is why essays often have strict word limits. There are a lot of books that I could break down with a far shorter response than his. He should have tried to arrange this critique by category, as he ends up repeating himself a lot. An area about Subaru and his traits. An area about Regulus. An area about battle shonen and the other archbishops. An area about the dialogue. A section about certain individual things that he might want to address, like episode 14. Etc. It would be a lot smoother. He also needs to identify certain things that are purely differences of opinion or description and aren't worth disputing: for example, the part about Subaru and his whip. In many cases, he rambles on about things just to ramble on about them.

lmao, that trashy looking hentai with Subaru crying while jerking off to Emilia and the Archbishop of NTR having sex sums things up nicely on the NTR front and the threat to moeblob and Subaru.

I'd have to dig for some quotes. He rambles so much about plot trivia that's not very interesting. A major problem is that, while digging for gold is often depicted as adventurous in films, it usually is a laborious process of sifting through dirty water and getting fool's gold.

There are endless examples of plot trivia to untangle and him rambling about inane things.

Here is an example of plot trivia:

"There's literally no vengeance quest for Garfiel anywhere in S3. Kurgan directly invades city hall where Garfiel is guarding civilians. Garfiel doesn't chase him down for revenge, Kurgan just appears and attacks. No vengeance plot anywhere, actual plot misunderstanding by this guy."

Despite his knack for Re:TARD trivia, he's conveniently excluding that Garfield was meant to fight Kurgan because of that beast brat who got injured. That's the vengeance plot, even if the staff seemingly forget about that character altogether in the second half of the story.

Here is an example of incoherent, needless rambling:

"Second of all, in which way are the composition and animation wrong? You see Wilhelm and Theresia’s final love confession from multiple angles, showing the emotions of both characters in a very good way, the person being focused on by the camera aids the dialogue taking place, you even see the background characters’ reactions (including Reinhard’s, who is totally indifferent), heck you even have the final scene in which they simultaneously say “I love you” to each other and the camera shows both of their faces, you even see the aftermath of the event in Wilhelm’s reaction, when he has to collect the ashes of his wife, etc…"

What is all this slop? I never said it wasn't functional. He just describes what happens in the scene and says why it happens. That is beside the point. There are numerous cliche, sappy scenes like this throughout the history of fiction, and the closeups of people crying to stock sad music is not "peak fiction," and likewise for all the rest. He demonizes me for not having felt anything in these moments. Of course, it's subjective. There are things I will find moving that Mange does not. But I guarantee you that if he saw this scene separate from Re:TARD, with all new characters that he is not invested in, he would not feel anything from the scene and would not be enchanted. Many scenes won't work without the buildup of the surrounding scenes, but I feel episode 14 is something that can stand on its own as a stock plot line. You could turn this into a short story or film. The execution is horrendous and artless. This scene would not be taught in film, literature, drama, or animation classes. In truth, I think there are some great scenes in anime that probably would never be taught in classes either but are good enough to deserve being used as examples. But no one in their right mind would think THIS is an example that should be emulated. I didn't go into much detail, that is true, but why breakdown how cliche and trashy every scene is? Most everyone other than fanboys will agree that this part is not great drama or tragedy.

So I'm highlighting these two quotes not because they're especially worth responding to or amusing or anything else. They are meant to be stand-ins for the bulk of what his massive counter-criticism consists of.

Ha, that translator I used was an engrish one. A few parts look like ooga booga, though. The main difference is the vocabulary. Sometimes it works great. It's more clipped with its commas than fragmented with "Me no like."

"If you’re throwing slurs before you even talk about the season you’re reviewing, you’ve already admitted the show hurt your feelings and that the rest of the review will consist of you lashing out like a toddler."

If you’re throwing slurs before you even talk about the review you’re criticizing, you’ve already admitted the review hurt your feelings and that the rest of the counter-criticism will consist of you lashing out like a toddler.

"You’ll see terms like “pacing,” “melodrama,” or “character regression” used with no definitions, no examples, and no internal logic"

Which is, of course, fine. You don't need to break down all aspects of "pacing" to say there is a pacing issue. Sometimes you say it just to cover that and be done with it.

On dialogue and characters having weaknesses: "Textbook fake hindsight. You never said any of that during S1 or S2 but now that you’re mad at S3 you’re retroactively rewriting history."

This is really dumb. Actually, yes, I did. I always did. There's no point in making this comment about an individual. Cope harder. XDXDXD

As for the speech, let's say I wanted to show how that speech by Subaru was bad. If it fits with his development in any way, then to them it will be seen as good. Even if the delivery is cringe (yes, yes, subjective). He says it's a good speech. Why is it good? Can he explain that well? I went over it more briefly than he did, but I don't think he did much to demonstrate that it was good in his more verbose manner. It comforted the audience who were affected by Wrath and was relatable, so it was good. Right... the whole thing is like a self-love wink to otakus or something. Even if you broke it down in it's own separate essay, they wouldn't be convinced. It's more so part of the bigger picture of Subaru's rise, which is how I was framing it.

The dialogue wasn't a primary concern of mine enough to bother with examples. I found a breakdown of the dialogue leading up to Subaru's riveting speech. it doesn't lay bare all of the problems with the dialogue, but when it comes to clunky exposition, it's solid.

The OP of this topic citing dialogue from episode 7 (post #15):

https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2210015


Now that's also some shit pacing.

People like Archbishop of Pedantry are too autistic to have a sense of humor. And by that I don't mean he should find my Re:Zero review funny. I mean that he shouldn't take it so damn seriously. He comes in with malding waman energy, getting upset that I insulted Subaru and the author and saying that this is "not proper criticism" or something like that, yet he goes on to drop more insults directed at me than I had done in relation to Re:Zero. And with far less purpose considering most of my mockery revolved around the story, the NTR he wants to pretend is not there, and the shaming ritual of Regulus. "Man just opened with the weakest punch possible, like if someone said “Haha Fart Zero 🤓” and expected that to count as criticism. Literally started off by rageposting in the TITLE. No argument, just instant whining" ONLY MAKE ARGUMENTS DON'T MAKE FUN OF MY SHOW REEEE. Plus, the cuck makes a lot of sense because this is one big NTR thing. Fart is just random. Most of my poking fun at Re:TARD is meaningful, while all of his insults to me are generic and he could have just as easily said that to any reviewer. On the lolis, I think he's forgetting those little beast kids, like the one engaged to Garfield. And people generally lump Liliana into that, right? Though she's older looking than Beatrice, she acts very childish as well. Even having to respond to the nap time joke, lmao. No jokes allowed about my anime. The tone of the whole show is childish as hell too.

With his tone-deaf nonsensical line-by-line approach, he deconstructs ever single line without considering how the paragraphs function together. You give a description about something, and he's like, how is this an argument for it being bad? Not everything in negative and positive reviews is meant to say something is bad or good. Sometimes it's just descriptive. Like when I mentioned Subaru using a whip, and he had to take issue with that too, as if I were saying that was bad or illogical and deboonking me. No, I was indicating it was more battle shonen, with even Subaru now being a somewhat more competent fighter, while adding in a touch of mockery.

Autistic screeching about what criteria is required to be allowed to say battle shonen. Technically, hasn't it always been a shonen (Okeanix: "ackshually, it's technically a seinen because the manga was labeled in that way")? It had some battles, but I didn't feel the need to call it a battle shonen in the past.

He doesn't even understand overly simple sentences, like the one about the reversal of the shaming ritual.

He mocks me for admitting that Subaru had character development, yet I don't think I ever said that he lacked it... probably what he's getting at is that my mockery of Subaru made him appear more one-dimensional and like he didn't develop ever. Subaru and Emilia do have a shift of sorts during season 2 in their relationship, but if you look at the relationship in S3, it does look like standard trash otaku with moeblob, so does the development even matter that much in this context? I think that's my issue. There's nothing interesting like back when they first met. The Satella thing was used as a great hook, where the reset screwed up his relationship with her. Absolutely nothing of interest here.

There's a BIG difference to a video game having retries versus a character having the ability to reset, lmfao. Dying isn't even part of a video game's story. If you're good at it, you can finish without dying even once. Bad argument.

"The moon thing wasn’t even serious. It’s played as a gag, and the story keeps going like nothing happened. If your whole opinion of a season hinges on a visual joke that’s on screen for like 3 seconds, you weren’t watching the show, you were waiting for a reason to get mad."

LOL, talk about a cope for the moon part. And just saying stupid stuff like I'm just waiting to get mad because I thought the short moon thing was dumb.

Okay, the best place to have talked about the sword draw scene would be alongside my Subaru and Reinhard comparison in my last message, which goes into their relationship and style of heroism. He makes Reinhard insanely powerful, but the whole point is to limit Reinhard's power in a contrived way to increase the shaming, give Subaru a chance to show off, and make the fight more challenging. As well as resetting the world when needed, like the scene with Puck. I rewatched that sword draw part. When it cuts to Reinhard saying that he can't draw the sword because Regulus isn't worthy, Reinhard is in the foreground, and Subaru is in the background, and he doubles over laughing. There's also irony to Regulus being the most powerful and yet not being "worthy." So I framed this as a plot hole. In the anime, I don't think it is built up to properly and breaks immersion. But it's really just a cheap trick to fuel the author's revenge of the otakus story and increase the shaming. So it is more so ultra-trashy than being a plot hole, perhaps.

It's probably because USA is trying to control the rest of the world like a demon lord.

Yee kinda needed a rest from it XD. Finishing it will be a Beyond Journey's End. Well Natsuhi is kinda weird but Eva is great possibly the best for now :D. Agree with everything else. Tho would also add Krauss to the great characters with this aura of superiority around him XD and mayyyyyyyybe Kinzo don't know yet.

Haha when you add animal ears you get animal ears xD Anyway took some time, lora testing and prompt changing but after maaany tries kinda worked. Kinda
Well there aren't many alraune arts and even if they are they are all sorts of different flowers rarely in full body. Kinda hard to learn just as much as adding core to a slime girl xD Haven't tried it on a newer model tho yet. Maybe it works?

Yeah sometimes (Very, very rarely) it's better to get stuff than sukebei. Well it's not I dislike Koikatsu or something, it's just an "easy modo" way but with fag99 skills probably better option than If they drew it themselves xD. In fact I played Koikatsu a bit and the artstyle and character creator is great possibly the best of all Illusion games but unlike Artificial Academy it's just really shallow in it's content outside the character design. AA2 was much more fleshed out and fun to play despite worse artstyle.

Hehe had a lot MGQ to catch up too. But there's certain UMINEKO VN I'm playing right now xD. BTW there will be first MGQ figure released next year :D Maybe it means We'll get more interesting ones (Tamamo) in the future. Might buy her just to give more reason to continue with the series.

Heh Sancuck hired someone new. Seems like without censo reports they started loosing moni :D, anyway nintendo's going the soyny way seems like . Yet another reason not to buy switch II
