I think Food Wars is fucking horse shit that doesn't deserve any attention at all. It is beloved by many.

Ok this is interesting, i actually want to hear your opinion on this.

Is it the dumb fanservice?

Holy shit. Finished episode 17.

Yeah, the Lulu Redemption Arc was pretty awesome. It's when I started to realize that Hugtto was going to be something truly special.

First her interactions with Emiru in episode 15, which were absolutely hilarious and led to Lulu starting to show emotions... then the amazing fight scene in episode 16 and Lulu getting absolutely destroyed and taken back by Criasu. That was a severe case of mood whiplash, going from the most hilarious and light-heartest episode in the series to arguably the darkest and most dramatic. Follow that up with the fight in episode 17 where Lulu gets befriended hard by Hana and the gang... It was fantastic, and it only gets better from there!

A fun fact that I probably mentioned when I watched the episode myself months ago: Lulu is voiced by Yukari Tamura, and Yukarin also voiced Nanoha Takamachi from the Lyrical Nanoha franchise, who is world-famous for befriending her opponents by blasting the everliving shit out of them. So in a sense, Lulu/Yukarin being befriended like that in Hugtto Precure was also Nanoha herself being on the receiving end of a befriending for a change. Not really important, but amusing and interesting nonetheless.

People are allowed to have their opinions.

No reason to argue over it.

100% agreed.

I like anime based on food. Restaurant to Another World was one of my favorite anime last year.

While I respect the fact that Food Wars does have actual food based science and whatnot in their series, the show does not really focus on that aspect. Instead it focuses on ridiculous fanservice, stupid melodrama, and the actual food is secondary to these elements.

It basically could have been an anime version of Iron Chef, but turns itself into a fanservice mess filled with idiotic melodrama and contrived narrative elements in service of that melodrama.

I might be in the minority, but what I don't want out of a food anime is basically using it as an excuse for melodrama and fanservice.

Pop, you're up next. Trop, you're the backup plan should Pop not be able to make the next one. Also, I should have asked this a while ago: is @The_Theorum someone's alt account? They asked for a spot on the list at the beginning of this topic, and then haven't posted in this topic since then. I would assume it isn't an alt considering it has 1500+ karma, but I just wanted to check.

All vastly trump that, IMO.

People have opinions, Itachi. Do I need to put an "IMO" in my post every single time I post an opinion?

And neither of the ones he named hardly come close to the precure stuff.


I wanna add that Precure and Super Sentai aren't the only Toei Super Hero Time shows that do massive crossovers. Kamen Rider is another one.

I had my own moment similar to Cal's 8 years ago when every main Kamen Rider teamed up in Kamen Rider Decade. Since then they continued to crossover in following episodes, movies and specials, including the currrent series since it's another decade show

Kamen Rider Decade

Yeah, I've heard Kamen Rider Decade mentioned before (in Precure threads on /a/ and r/anime) by fans that were hoping for something like this after the appearances of Cure Black and Cure White earlier in Hugtto.

The way I see it, since the post limit before the topic locks is 500, the number of posts per page has to be a factor of 500 so the last page has the same number as the previous ones. That eliminates 30 and 40 as options, and since 20 feels too low for my tastes, I use 50 per page. If the post limit was 600 instead, I'd probably use 30 per page.

I use ImageFAQs for automatic image embedding, so my laptop would probably die a very painful death if I made it load 500 posts worth of embedded images at once.

500 topics on the topic list would be fine since it's just text.

Yeah i had an idea that what you would say would be that, and i honestly agree, but on my side i just go with the hilariousness of it and enjoy it, i fully agree with your points though, it could've been something much much better if they focused mostly on the food rather than the food being just there, and this is coming from someone who studied this stuff.

Many episodes i found myself saying "oh wow i saw this in class/i cooked this before" and they just gloss over it :<

I use 30 strictly cause 50 is too much scrolling. Especially if there's pictures.

Now 10 per page, that's just communism.

So, a question perhaps to help round out the topic rather than just about how many of you are wrong in regards to posts per page.

What "you better fucking watch this" anime have you not watched yet?

I have not watched a single episode of Evangelion. At this point I know that almost just as many people tell you not to watch it as to watch it because at this point it's almost as messed up as the Fate franchise, but it's still an iconic anime that I have not dabbled in beyond AMV's.

It's probably easier to say which ones I have watched than which ones I haven't, so...

https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=tv
https://myanimelist.net/topanime.php?type=bypopularity

Out of these lists, I've seen Cowboy Bebop, Gurren Lagann, One Punch Man, Sword Art Online, Soul Eater, Kill La Kill, and Your Name. Everything else would meet your requirement of "you better watch this" shows that I haven't watched.

I have way too many of these. cowboy bebop, evangelion, code geass are the three extremely obvious ones that jump to mind right away. Then there's also longer running / older stuff like naruto, bleach, HxH, dragonball, none of which I've seen more than a single episode of. quickly looking at that mal by popularity, I'm also missing attack on titan, FMA, one punch man, SAO, and really probably about 75%+ of the top 50 <_<

on a completely opposite note to what I didn't watch, I just started watching revue starlight. The subs I found (dunno if there are better ones out there) didn't bother translating the songs which strikes me as the epitome of laziness. Also cal I find it extra funny now you not knowing lots of things reference utena since I can just tell this show is going to have like 50 utena references
