I still can't grasp anime having "seasons". I kinda stopped following new anime some years ago, but when I was more of an enthusiast every anime was either this one block of episodes that told a complete story or had sequels, but those where treated like new shows. A series having seasons is for me a western concept. I just had to say that. Now, about FLCL, it really didn't need any sequels. It was this unique piece of art, this experimental crazy thing. You don't replicate that. Maybe they added that self-aware part exactly to control the damage of it not being as good as the original. Not that it worked, though.

Even some shows older than that did like Slayers (yes, Slayers didn’t call them “seasons”, but it’s the exact same thing).

But now I guess they have to go save Rin now that the curse was lifted and-- oh, look at that, the problem was solved in like two episodes.

Honestly the way things just happen with little to no explanation in FLCL and rely mostly on vibes or vague symbolism to understand is part of the point, in my opinion. You’re really there, WITH Naota, not knowing any more than he does and being just as overwhelmed and confused and frustrated as he is (and as Mamimi is). Anything that tries to codify a “power system” or clarify backstories kind of ruins the entire idea of it. FLCL isn’t about the giant robots or alien girls or planet eating corporations, it’s just about how much it sucks to be between kid and adult, how pointless life can feel, how hard it is to express these intangible exploding emotions, how poverty and abuse makes your relationships to other people unstable, etc.

Kemono Friends was a big one. After the franchise crashed when they fired the director and studio for (checks notes) doing bonus material that Kadokawa hadn't actually cared about them doing before the show got popular, they still pushed forward by giving the show to the lowest bidder, and the result wasn't just cheap, it didn't have any heart or love for the source material. Not to mention the new protagonist is a jerk shilled by the narrative as someone who truly belonged there, while the original protag is retconned to be nobody special, easily forgotten by everyone whose lives she changed, and destined to die and fade from history immediately. Not to mention that, while it's understandable that the producer would have been upset with fans sending hate mail and black faxes and basically treating the studio like scabs, the fact that he was caught picking fights with angry fans online under a sock might explain why KF2's plot and characters seem so spiteful to fans who wanted more of what we got in the first one. And then we got Welcome to Japari Park, which starts every episode with "sorry this isn't lore compliant, we didn't care as much as you do."

For those curious how the Digimon Adventure remake progressed after episode 10, covid ripped it in half. Metal Greymon showing up when he did was IMO fine and totally fit with the show, the theme, and where it was going. It was way better than Jeff is making it sound. The problem is that it only kept going in that direction and being pretty good for a little while longer before they ran out of track and it all collapsed. It's transparent that many, many, MANY of the bad decisions made were done because it was 2020 and they couldn't safely get more than a couple of people in a recording booth together and so the characters just stopped interacting. Taichi continued to be amazingly Overexposed, but without the ability to actually write character stories they don't do anything with him despite him being in every single episode. By the end of the show it was clear production was completely exhausted and doing it only for the paycheck. A chunk of the final Arc episodes were flagrantly first drafts, and you could tell almost in advance which episode was going to be watchable based off of who it starred. If you were not one of the three or so main characters the show liked then too bad so sad, you got nothing and that included Taichi. Looking back at really could have been something, the action was gorgeous, back when characters were characterized they did some interesting modern-day retakes for the cast that felt really cool, a lot of the show's ideas were exciting, and it had a really great Digimon cast of non-partner digimon, but it's still really sucked. Honestly that all makes it even worse. And the punchline? It's still the best thing branded as Digimon Adventure this side of 02. The movies were dire... on the other hand we got Digimon Ghost Game immediately afterwards so maybe it all worked out in the end.

Rather than an anime I wished stayed dead and rather an anime I wished never existed WHILE still being a fan of the source material, there's Rosario+Vampire. It's honestly probably the reason I am so into anime and manga, and it was releasing in a time where digital releases weren't super popular yet so whenever the next volume released in English I'd get my mother to take me to the bookstore that actually stocked them and spend my hard earned, very limited pocket money on the books just to see what happened next. Honestly it's an exciting and emotional journey of not only self-acceptance for multiple characters but also acceptance for others too, masquerading as a harem. Then the anime exists. Which took all that character development, the excitement, the lore, and threw it all out for fanservice. I die a little whenever I remember it. I wish that anime was dead.

The only part of Yashahime that really matters at all to me is Moroha reuniting with her parents. Specifically how Inuyasha doesn't know what to do until he's literally shoved into it by Kagome, at which point he is ALWAYS in physical contact with Moroha until she has to leave for plot reasons. He's just constantly holding her and rubbing his face on her face and hair like a proper dog-dad.

Yes! This was my favorite moment of the whole show and was very sweet. Sadly, even copious amounts of my favorite character, Sesshomaru, couldn't save that anime and how "Boruto" it felt, lol. I could've gone my whole life without seeing Rin end up with Sesshomaru, the villians were half-assedly introduced by only giving them title cards (instead of verbally using their names, which makes it stick a lot better), and the plotlines weren't very great. I love pretty much all things Inuyasha but Yashahime is definitely one of the worst parts of the series (next to the movie Affections Touching Across Time, and the inaccurate artstyle of the characters, lol. That movie just sticks out as such a sore thumb compared to the show and the later movies).

I think the issue some MotW shows face is the idea of who the final boss should be. Digimon 2020 had Milleniumon, the biggest bad in the franchise, and the show kept going for 10+ episode after their defeat. Sentai had a similar problem last year. We knew the villain team were not the leaders of their faction, but the actual leaders appeared once and then never appeared again after that. Our actual final bosses were in all of 2 episodes, encountered the heroes all of once, and stole the powers they used to fight with from a couple of other villains, so they didn’t even get a cool unique form. The unusual part was that it was a pair of villains, not a single bad guy.

THANK YOU! Finally there is someone out there that can see the garbage fire that Digimon Adventure 2020 is. The digimon partners always had this theme of values and growth associated with their human partners - that was why the kids were there in the first place, and that's why the original was so good. Omegamon/Omnimon was supposed to be the ultimate culmination in the friendship/rivalry that Tai and Yamato/Matt always had, and the final overcoming of a new threat to humankind. New digimon adventure just fucking let them do that when Tai and Yamato meet for the FIRST TIME in the second episode. How fucking dumb is that? Yes, digimon was literally "friendship is power" the anime, but they executed it well, letting each character grow while their digimon partners actually manifest that growth in a new stage of evolution. That was literally the point of the original and the remake just decided to throw it out the window. What a disgrace.

@@arilumani6194 Just so we're clear here; as far as i am aware gaiden came out in 2010 a full year after season 2. This was not the order most viewers at the time would have experienced the content, unless you got the combined DVD with both. I've watched it and it is a fine expanding of Hei and Yin relationship, but the main reason why season 2 to me is such a farce is the fact that the ensemble cast from season 1 is so strong, and all of the characterbuilding and setup in the first season is just thrown to the wolfs. I do not, tho think it fixes the issues of moving the focus of the show from Hei to Suou and taking away his powers. My personal feeling is the direction they took the show resulted in something less interesting as a result of this creative choice. I also personally feel that requiring you to see an OVA or movie prior to viewing season 2 of the same show is... odd. I know other shows do this as well, and i equally do not enjoy it when pieces of media can't stand alone on their own creative merits. There seems to be a pretty clear divide in the community surrounding if they think season 2 was trope subverting and found Suou interesting as a protag, versus people like me who find that it wasted most of the potential by trying to be subversive. If you go on to MAL and just read the reviews of season 1 and compare them to the reviews of season 2 it becomes fairly clear that there's been a split perception of that show since it came out, and similarly to you a lot of them tell potential viewers to watch the OVA first.

I know why The Promised Neverland 2nd season was awful. I have the perspective of having been part of the very small online fandom of the scanlated manga. There was a tiny but loud subset of fans who bullied the writer terribly about mainly two things: the idea that the ending was too happy, and the idea that the main characters should have committed a genocide. I called these fans the pro-genocide faction. The writer was inexperienced in dealing with toxic fans. Fortunately, the manga was essentially finished by the time these pressures were brought to bear on the writer, so the ideas pushed by toxic fans didn't affect the manga. However, the writer became full of second-guessing and openly said that the toxic fans were right and said that different, more tragic, storylines should have been pursued and that some of the best material in the manga should have been skipped. This pressure then died down because the fandom was quite small and the manga was finished. Then, the 1st season of the anime came out and the fandom exploded in size, but these same toxic fans (who had begun to drift away to other things) came out of the woodwork again and this time pressured the writer to make sure that the 2nd season of the anime went in a very different direction than the manga. The writer doesn't really have that power, okay, but the writer still came out and said once again that they would support these various toxic-fan ideas in the second season as much as possible. With how the 2nd season turned out, I assume that some of these ideas must have went via the writer into the anime; at the very least the idea that something had to be very different in the story. So, you can blame a very small number of toxic fans who were able to pressure an inexperienced writer for how the second season went sour.

I actually went and watch The Irresponsible Captain Tylor a few months back after watching your video on it. 1) if anything, you undersold it on just how good it is. And 2) there is now an eternally burning hole in my heart over the fact that not only will there never be any more of that beautiful, outrageous anime, they haven't even translated the novels, so I can't even try to sate my hunger for more content there! I guess it's true what they say - only the good die young. TT_TT

It still burns me how they set up a superior protagonist with Slaine, put him through all sorts of frustrating nonsense to make us sympathize with him leading up to his turn at the twist ending, then just undo the ending and turn Inaho into even more of a plot-armored Gundam protagonist instead. They really didn't read the room with that decision; mecha fans were already frustrated with the stoic protagonists who are magically better than everyone else.

I don't know why, but I really needed to see this today. Also if we wanna talk about disappointing Digimon sequels, the stage show that Chiaki J. Tonaka made for Tamers' 20th anniversary which featured "cancel culture" as a villain. Like. Holy moly, how did someone who was so ahead of his time with his ideas about the Internet and digital life turn out _that?!_

That doesn't really count since it ain't really a main show, but one Digimon sequel that does hurt me is Fusion. I used to love it during the days of Nicktoons acquiring Saban's properties, but then I heard about the several flaws it had and fell out of love with it.

@@zUJ7EjVD It is very easy to write of Berserk as misery porn, as edgelord bullshit for people who can't imagine joy. Berserk is at times the cruelest, horrific and unrelenting story I've ever read. It is also the story of two sexual assault survivors finding a moment of quiet intimacy despite their trauma. It's the story of a man who has every reason to be a violent angry loner picking up the pieces and finding comradery again, and again. It's an scathing rebuke of the divine right of kings, it is a swashbuckling pirate adventure, it is... It's the kind of story that makes you feel seen as a fellow struggler fighting for existence every day. And even with the demons that plague you at night and the bits of your body and soul that the world takes from you... That you are not only worthy, but that it is inevitable that you will find your way to precious comrades again. Is it for everyone? No. But like... Miura just gets it, man. He just gets it.

Here's the thing you didn't get on to with Sacred Star of Milos. on top of missing the bag as a thematic extension of the world or an elaboration on its characters. which most shonen non-canon movies also fail to do by their nature. it also UTTERLY fails to just be FUN and use its non-canon nature to give us cool shit. Gohan decking a resurrected Frieza in a single punch in DBZ: Fusion Reborn, The double All For One Scene from MHA: Heroes Rising, The Kyuubi vs Kyuubi battle from Naruto: Road to Ninja, all these cool, outlandish, fun things to do that couldn't really fit into canon, that's what these movies excel at, just giving us that little bite of wish-fulfilment outside the constraints of a story. but because Sacred Star is just this split off event where most of the canon characters simply aren't present, there's not much fun to be had. give us Edward making an exception to the rule and cutting loose with a Philosopher's stone like Al did in canon, it'd be out of character, but fuck it, it's non-canon and it'd be cool. give us Greed being sent by Father to keep an eye on the Elric Brothers going so far out of field, and have him fight Mustang or Armstrong or some shit. give us Edward improvising and trying his hand as Mustang's flame alchemy and blowing up a massive amount of shit by accident, just... something! you are outside the constraints of status quo, if you're not going to give us a meaningful story, DO... COOL SHIT...

That climactic scene with that animation and music in Heroes Rising is freaking amazing. But they also managed to make the film feel meaningful aside from that, despite being unable to advance the plot, by having it focus on Bakugou and Deku’s relationship. Which is a great idea, because their relationship is so complex, it’s easy to make a whole film devoted to examining their dynamic, even if they don’t advance it. Two Heroes and World Heroes Mission suffer a lot in comparison, as they also don’t advance the plot, but they don’t devote much time to character relationships that are meaningful in canon. (Though Rody is actually a really fun, engaging character for an anime OC. So the whole road trip second act with him was surprisingly meaningful.)
@Omnipotentmonkey Жыл бұрын
@@amymak93 I'd also say that Heroes Rising wins for having the bright idea of scattering a bunch of seriously badass moments across all of Class 1-A. Uraraka probably gets more highlights in that movie than she does in the entire manga prior the final arc.

Anyone remember how halfway through, Digimon Frontier hung a lampshade on the fire and light characters being the only relevant fighters? How all the rest of the squad was reduced to cheerleading because that _actually_ increased the leader and lancer's strength? Anyone else actually watch all the way to the last episode where someone straight up says 'hey the spirits were all supposed to work together, it was kinda dumb to prop up only two of them' and then *all* of the kids fused their spirits into one big super digimon to save the day? I guess the creators of the Matt and Tai show forgot.
