Topic	Anime/Stuff General V166 "What a twist!"
Calwings 05/26/18 4:09:15 PM #360:	Caelthus posted... I don't like the fact that people are hating on Franxx because of it being "boring", i.e, world building. That, and the relationships - they're like that for a reason, because they don't want them to be perfect/sunshine/rainbows. They want you to see that they have flaws. But that's the thing. Being boring is a problem. When I can watch seven consecutive episodes of a show and only one single scene in one single episode manages to entertain me or even keep my attention, that's terrible. You can tell me it's for world building, or to show that characters are flawed, or to enhance the psychological themes of the show, or whatever. Any way you want to spin it, it doesn't matter. If I'm not finding a show even slightly entertaining, it's not a good show in my eyes. If nothing happens to make me look forward to the next episode, or even worse, something happens to make me actively dread when I watch the next episode, it's not a good show. That's not enjoyable to me. That's frustrating. That's painful. And that's exactly what Darling In The Franxx became in this second cour. Even if it weren't for the gory scene this week, my mindset of "it's so close to the end, I may as well stick with it" could only give this show so much leeway before I eventually break. legendarylemur posted... But my advice to people who don't care for exploration and deeper conversations, it's wiser to say you simply couldn't engage in the topic that the anime explores rather than comment on the anime itself. Those are two very different things But yeah it's also kinda sad people are averse to damn good world building. I guess it's easier for people to consume things if it's as close to reality as possible cuz it just requires less thought and involvement Bull-fucking-shit! What you're saying is basically that people like me, who didn't "appreciate the world building", aren't intelligent and open-minded enough to appreciate the show, and that's bullshit. World building is fine. Engaging in deep psychological themes like that is fine. But when a show isn't interesting or entertaining, all the world building and psychological themes in the fucking world can't turn it into a good show. Don't insult my intelligence by using that shit as an excuse to explain why I didn't enjoy it. Fuck this. I'm out of here. --- "Someday I too will fly... and find you again!" https://imgur.com/GDMDeBZ <cite>Calwings posted [p:902026469] in Anime/Stuf...
