Also in terms of books with good magic systems have you read the Kane Chronicles? It's a great trilogy of books written by the author of percy Jackson

The Mistborn 1-3 audiobooks are great. Mistborn 3-6 GraphicAudio version audiobooks are even more great. A lot of "Kiritos with harems" new shows happening lately.

Quantity is how much there is to hate, salaciousness is how unironically enjoyable it is, and the intensity of the fire is how objectively bad it is, regardless of enjoyment value

The items that are burning (or not burning) also represent what genre or feelings the anime is trying to emulate

Im not sure about volume, but salaciousness tends to be more about how objectively harmfull, stupid, or terrible the themes and morals of the anime are, while the heat of fire is an attempt to quantify the idea of how "good" it is, based on the idea of "its so bad it's good"

@@thatguydownthestreat I think the volume is the quality, or lack thereof, of the actual production. Animation and all that.

Kiss X Sis flashbacks.

@@timothymclean Huh, that’s an image.

That's a huge focus of Brandon Sanderson the author Geoff mentioned. Sanderson has very strict magic systems with well defined abilities. And how the characters work around these rules is a big reason why his stories are so interesting.

Same thing applies to superpowers. Early Action Comics would conveniently give Superman whatever power he needed to solve the issue's problem. It's only after other heroes were introduced that they gave him a defined set of abilities to work around. For Isekai specifically, the protagonist's power can make or break a show. If they can take an uncommon power and make it useful, it can be a great series. On the other hand, giving them the power to curb stomp all their foes from the start makes for something bland.

Geoff is referencing "Sanderson's Laws of Magic", a set of writing principles proposed by the author Brandon Sanderson: 1. An author’s ability to solve conflict with magic is DIRECTLY PROPORTIONAL to how well the reader understands said magic. 2. Limitations are more interesting than powers. 3. Expand on the rules you already have before adding something new.

@@AjaxGb You know I kinda disagree with Sanderson on magic systems. What he dose works for him, but in my estamation I prefer a magic system that has the logic of a language to it. Not the decisively physical ones he tends to prefer.

@@myself2noone That's a matter of taste. There are soft magic systems that are quite amazing, though more often I would say stories that work with a soft magic system do so because they don't center around the system and maintain an air of secrecy while still implying heavily that there are strong limitations. So Sanderson's law still kinda apply (you can't use magic too much in your story because it's not well defined or understood by the reader, limitations are a necessity and you don't have lots of new magic system because you just don't have that much magic anyway). You don't have to like Sanderson's books to appreciate that his laws are an interesting guide for a fantasy writer.

I could see the concept working, if the first episode actually explained what the crests did before the reincarnation, and there were legit strengths and drawbacks to each one and the main character seriously had to contend with the drawbacks (and not just the main character saying 'oh there's this drawback that i can't do but now watch me cleverly get around that drawback in a very tell-don't-show way' like happens in the show)

The manga is more fleshed out and way better than the anime. I dropped the anime though.

They mention two downsides of his crest. That it is not as good at enchantments, and that it can't do long range. The first problem disappears into irrelevance because he's just so much insanely better than everyone else at everything, that he's still better than everyone at the thing he's bad at. The second problem comes up once, I can't remember how he sidesteps it, and then the show promptly forgets it was ever a problem.

I read the web novel of this (at least a good portion of it) a while back and while it was still sorta dumb it definitely felt like a more fleshed out idea than what was said in the video, I haven't watched the anime so I'm guessing it was pretty bad at properly conveying all that stuff. From what I remember the title calls his new crest the "strongest crest" but it's more like it's the most suitable crest for the MC and his objectives, the one he *feels* is the strongest. His previous crest was specifically the weakest for combat which was his true calling, so he really wanted to change, but pretty much all the other ones would have been fine. Each crest has its own suitability but in truth none are truly superior, he simply doesn't care much about the drawback of this one while the increased firepower is exactly what he wants, I would think because of his combat style. Iirc he even wants to train someone with his previous crest to do crafting for him because of how powerful that crest is at it, fulfilling an important role in magic combat that he now can't really do. He also specifically has the goal of wanting to fight monsters in space which he has apparently seen glimpses of but were way too powerful, so there is an end game of sorts but he needs to grow back at least to his previous strength before taking it on. The demon thing was also not as dumb, I remember it feeling like a mysterious thing that he himself with all his knowledge felt was ridiculous and never should have happened. Demons almost taking over the world and erasing the knowledge of proper magic while replacing it with inefficient and limited chanted casting so people would focus on the wrong thing, obfuscating the nature of crests and making the strongest for combat especially ineffective. The only reason humanity was still around was because the properly strong demons were still sealed from when the world eradicated them during the MC's previous life, so the demons just didn't have the forces to completely take over, settling for keeping the humans weak while waiting for the seals to break. I don't remember how early on it was but the MC fairly quickly notices signs that there was some kind of apocalyptic war while he was gone that allowed this to happen, in the style of a modern world full out nuclear war. There were other things weird with it too, potential interference from the whole space monsters thing. What put me off and eventually made me drop I think was the harem-ish stuff (though iirc there really wasn't much interest from the MC in any of it in the WN) and in general the characters just weren't very good, along with the whole feel of the demons, it felt like a bad copy of kenja no mago/wise man's grandchild which in itself already wasn't the best. The idea and world itself actually pulled me in and I was disappointed that it wasn't better written, I generally do like power fantasy stuff and underestimated characters as long as it's well written.

it's even more bland than you think. you would think an anime made to show off your magic system would at least have one major character with each of the 4 different pieces of the magic system... but they took the third slot and gave it to loli dragon so that they can add generic weirdo.

Lol and weebs say that Japanese animation is apolitical!

And that’s not even the most hamfisfed nationalist propaganda on this list! Like wow Rust armor, the making the conquistadors the bad guys when your country was notably not colonized by them, undercutting the experiences of countries that were! Holy cow is that tone deaf.

Not a recent anime, but never forget GATE. That shit was "Japan never did anything wrong" and "Everyone but japan is evil."

@@davidbeauchemin1840 GATE was at least mildly charming, and to be fair given how heavily America jerks off the armed forces (looking at you Michael Bay) it's pretty tame...by comparison. That isn't to say having military propaganda in a work is bad, armed forces do deserve props for what they do, it's when it jumps the shark and establishes VASTLY unrealistic expectations or perceptions that it becomes bad IMO (YES still looking at you Michael "Never met an explosive I didn't like" Bay). By that metric GATE at least "tries" to keep itself grounded...most of the time.

I know right. I was so hype for another anime made by the magi creator. I am disappointed

Tbh, I'm not a fan of the Orient manga either. While I was slightly interested in the supposed politics, the characters weren't interesting and I found myself just annoyed at the protagonist (Kojiro?)

But that would mean it was the protagonists fault and he'd have to deal with guilt or something for being responsible for the worlds decline. This means he couldn't be smug about how wrong everyone is which is just too dang difficult for dipshit authors to deal with.

Damn bro. You ever thought of writing your own light novel? I mean seriously, you just about fixed that other one's plot - I'm sure you could make one that was even better.

the author unironicly made the main characters previous life far more interesting given I wanna know how he managed to get so stronger with the objectively worst crest rather than I was strong in my last life and wanted to get stronger so I reset with all my skills and skill points at level 1 in a different class so I can smurf my way back to the top

You basically get a general trash shows so that you don't have to suffer through them trying to find some good ones.

I only watch 3-4 anime a year, these trash round-ups are great.

Like all forms of art (picture, films, videogames, etc.), it is one half a good idea, and the second half everyone thinks their art is good until it is finished. You know the ones that make them believe they wrote a masterpiece essay, but when they have to read the paper aloud and just realize how bad it is and they only have one hour left to turn it in, or else they fail. Add in trouble production, budget cuts, other people's lousy opinion you get bad anime no matter how good the idea or intention was.

There are many reasons. Could be production problems beyond anyone's control, could be that management saw yen signs and ignored artistic merit, could be anything in between.

Because at the end of the day, there are people who will watch and like these shows, usually more than you'd think. The alternative of coming up with a legit good and creative show is much harder and cost inducing, so companies are pushed to go with trends and pander to what they know will get people watching.

Same reason we get terrible sitcoms and dramas in Western TV. There's a point where they thought it was a good idea, and somewhere along the line they've invested so much that they can't back out.

It's like when game corps make games that appeal to the easiest demographics with typical ideas, like EA with bf2042, except it's cheap isekais with tits&ass and easy tropes. Ever notice how, in most cases, the most popular anime out there doesn't rely on tropes and fan service all the time? Hopefully Japan starts to let that habit die soon, getting tired of sifting through the same garbage that never delivers.

i like the spin-off better

The CG is bad in Rusted Armor, but not EX Arms level bad. But "Ex Armor" is still a funny thought.

You just did and when someone else does, you have the honour of being able to say you were the first!

The Intomitable is a pretty goofy and dope action series it's CG but lit AF

They saw Ex-Arm and thought “Let’s make that but more rusty.”

At least with Rusted Armor they knew how to cel shade, how to composit 3D models into 2D background and how to rig faces. So, instead of being actively unsettling and a crime against the art and craftsmanship that goes into animation, it's just, "eh, they did what they could with what they had, not a masterpiece, but not a career-ending disaster either."

Yeah, that was my problem with it too. His first weapon seemed custom tailored for fighting huge, over the top enemies but then he downgrades to normal generic blade. Hell, his fighting style was interesting and I would have liked to see it expanded upon.

That's one thing i hate about that type of anime, the mc is always using a generic blade that somehow has magic powers while everybody around the mc is using weapons that are way cooler and can be used way more creatively.

So, do you really think that the solution they'd pick would be for him to sleep with various women? Of course not. That's incredibly inefficient.

"You have to wear the frilly dress." "Fine, I'll wear the frilly dress." She then wears the frilly dress for the rest of the book without complaint or issue or it ever coming up again.

To be fair, they did later mention that the dragon's wings were still healing (I don't remember if it was elaborated on, but probably due to the healing job being rushed/incomplete).

Read Mistborn and Stormlight twice.

Ill admit that Stormlight is the better series, but Allomancy, Feruchemy, and Hemalurgy are waaaaaay more interesting than the Surges by the second trilogy. You cant tell me Miles 100 Lives isnt the most badass concept to grace the cosmere.

@@klausgopfert I don't know what Hemalurgy is because there are 50 books on my reading list before Well of Ascension, but I do think Allomancy and Feruchemy are BALLIN magic systems, and I don't care as much about surges.

Really enjoyed the magic system for the most part; but I still wince every time they mention steel being one of the metals...since it's just iron, but mixed with carbon...a non-metallic 'impurity'...

Well, Sanderson is kinda way too slow with the introduction of Surgebinders and a lot of established Surgebinders only ever really use one of their surges(Shallan and Jasnah are very obvious examples,).(The first two books really focus more on Shardbearer fights.) Era 2 Mistborn is argubly more interesting with the introduction of new metals and medallions.

well the irritating thing was that it went from "each crest is good at a different thing" to "the crest he was reborn with is the best except it kind of has a short range"

Someone needs to take a look at his internet history.

What's so good about magi? I've had people swear at me in real life when I said it wasnt very good lol. I remember almost nothing about it because it seemed so forgettable in a meandering aimless way if I recall. Is it just because I don't care about fights, super powers, or animation? I feel I watched like 5 episodes of it before it gave up

OK, so I got curious about the director you're referring to. I checked out ANN and saw the name of veteran director Keitaro Motonaga attached to this anime, and judging by his filmography, I concede that he's a mixed bag at best, ranging from Katanagatari (arguably one of the best anime of White Fox, the original studio of Arifureta) to the Conception anime (currently Geoff's all-time worst isekai) and School "Nice Boat" Days, with the Date A Live series, Digimon Tri, Jormungand, LBX Girls (already a mention in Geoff's Winter 2021 Hottest Trash lineup), and the Rayearth OVA falling somewhere in between.

I'd go so far as to say that RWBY volume 1 looks better than some of what major platforms are adding to their libraries these days. Better integration of characters and background, better choreography, substantially better assets for monsters.... Why do so few even bother trying to pass that years old bar!?

@@bthsr7113 Yeah, the first couple volumes of RWBY are bad, but bad in a completely different way than most shows like it. I think most of it can be attributed to Monty Oum pulling the show's animation to higher levels by sheer talent alone, and then by the time he was no longer around to work on it, the show had enough budget, staff, and programs to make it look good on its own

@@TheThunderbirdRising At the end of the day, RWBY was still a web series done by a small team of people using Poser. All things considered, they made it work. The music, storytelling, and choreography of the seasons hold up. I'd go so far to say that it surpasses the later seasons in everything except animation.

Yeah really that was low. If were being perfectly honest I always felt the animation of the first couple volumes was part of its charm in one of those "so bad its good" kind of ways. Its obviously improved for the better since they moved to using Maya, but I still have a soft spot for the first volumes.
