You say that, but then you praise stuff like Wolf's Rain and Eden of the East >_> GreenKnight127 posted... I must have missed your post about Moribitio. Funny you should mention the pacing issues, because I've always used that anime as a good indicator of who has the attention span of a gnat, and who can just sit back and enjoy the slow and smooth ride. There's a difference between slow pacing and bad pacing. There's nothing inherently wrong with slow pacing, but Moribito's pacing is just bad. GreenKnight127 posted... It's definitely not made for kids, because they'd probably fall asleep after the first episode. "Where are all the explosions and boobs and bubbly characters that speak with emojis floating over their heads!?!?! I can't process this!!!" lol. Characterization problems? Yeah. It's a hard pill to swallow because it's so unusual. The characters aren't bipolar idiots in middle school, and the main female protagonist never has a love interest and is never sexualized. It's basically anti-anime. I like that you talk about kids and immaturity then unleash a juvenile rant packed to the brim with strawmanning attempts. >_> GreenKnight127 posted... People who dislike animes like Moribitio, tend to love stuff like One Piece and Dragon Ball. Uh, DBZ is also a show with ridiculous pacing issues (which is why it's had its share of edits and re-cuts). It just skews in a different direction. Pacing isn't a synonym for fight scenes. GreenKnight127 posted... That final arc is one of the best things about the series. Very few animes (or tv shows in general) have the balls to do something like that. Because most show runners have better planning. The final arc reinforces the feeling that they had no clue how they wanted the show to end. GreenKnight127 posted... What did you hate about the character designs? Well, for starters, the designs are done to play up the show's bisho and homo-erotic elements, with Tsume being the most obvious example. (Other shows have done similar, but even Saiyuki -- a show basically built around shipping male characters -- didn't seem this blatant and its designs could be neat. And in general, I have no problem with gay fan-service and greatly enjoyed Ouran High which frequently pushed it.) The end result is somewhat insipid pretty boy designs that you'd see expect to see in any garden variety shojo. The wolf designs were alright. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:909316972] in Anime, Man...
