Revue Starlight Episode 1
Me at the end of the episode: ...oh. Anyway that was pretty good. Looking forward to the rest of this. Also oh my goodness these visuals. If episode 1 is any indication than this will be worth watching just for that alone even if the story ends up collapsing somehow. --- Congratulations to BK_Sheikah00, this year's guru to achieve contest enlightenment! ...

Yeah, Im surprised trash fan service shows get the immediate NOPE from you without a chance, but a show literally about a pedophile tormenting a loli gets a consideration watch and approval afterward

Yeah, but you refuse to even watch some of the actual good shows with some ecchi content just because it exists at all. Its just weird how selective you are with it. The premise of this alone sounds worse than almost anything the average ecchi series even has lol

Premise sounds terrible, and I said as much when I praised it! Bunnygirl sounds terrible, too, but that had a great premier. Can't always trust the writeups.
In fact, MOST of the anime this season sounds like garbage in the chart. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

swordz9 10/06/18 7:12:22 PM #112: |
Yeah, but its not like the description of this show is misleading or anything. The entire premise and focus of it is gonna be predator muscle lady lusting after and teasing the loli because it gets her hot and bothered. There isnt really anything else there from the sound of it. Its probably the most honest description on the chart because thats what the whole show is gonna be about....

It doesnt have an ecchi tag anyways. Im just saying you can tell exactly what kind of show it is by the description and genre tags. Its a comedy where virtually all the scenes will be the adult woman teasing the loli because its her fetish. I didnt even read any of the reviews aside from the number scores and I could probably guess quite a bit of the content the series will have because it will likely be the usual staples (insisting on changing/dressing, insisting on bathing, smelling laundry, spying on and fantasizing about, etc.) Im not saying its a good or bad show. Im just saying its honest about what it is and the description is actually on point for once.

Well it just works. You haven't watched it, so who know, maybe you'll like it too.
It doesn't take much to turn me towards or away from a show. Goblin Slayer, for example, was inarguably a great premier, but I've already dropped it because of the on screen rape. I've got zero tolerance on that. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Most of us are desensitized to fictional murder because characters die all the time in movies, shows and video games. I mean Im still bothered by it in some cases like Crybaby because its an oh god why is everything so depressing, but if its like some dude in a giant robot blowing up another dude in a robot like whatever unless it does some sad emotional montage of the wife and kid he leaves behind or something

Just preemptively, like...of you can't see the difference in how Devilman presents it's sexual violence versus Goblin Slayer and similar ilk...I can't help ya. I know nobody is technically saying that yet.

I also wanna clarify, I did in fact say ahead of time that I was gonna give that scene in Goblin Slayer a pass because it was a one time thing I was already aware was gonna happen,
Pretty much just Akame ga Kill all over again, including White Fox. Just not gonna fall for it this time. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Im betting Goblin presents it as something sexy or just uses it for cheap thrills or whatever. Man guys stop making me think about Crybaby though. That is the most miserable fucking anime I have ever seen and I feel awful remembering it. If I could go back in time Id tell myself not to watch it

The manga had a lot of rape at least. Maybe not as much in the anime. It's usually okay, but the one arc is pretty bad about it.

Akame ga kill referenced rape? Naw, I just meant a White Fox fantasy anime with promise that ends up being garbage. White Fox had the decency to cut all of the awful rape OUT of Akame ga Kill, even though it was just implied in the first place and not on screen. Kind of why I was hoping they'd do the same here. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

Watched a few first episodes.
Between the Sky and Sea was pretty stupid. I'm not a fan of the whole 'men vs women' dynamic they're pushing when space fishing uses machines and logically there shouldn't be any difference between the sexes. Also, forcing a rookie to join a team and go out with literally zero prep or training was beyond dumb. I hope this improves because that first episode was pretty bad. Ms. vampire who lives in my neighborhood, this one I actually enjoyed! It looks like it'll be a fun SoL about a girl who likes dolls latching onto a doll-like vampire. I like the two main characters so far, they're both fairly unique and have been really expressive. As for Goblin Slayer, eh, that was fine I guess. I was expecting something way more explicit from the rape scene, so when that was all it was it didn't hit me as hard as it might have if I went in not expecting anything. Beyond that it seems to be about a guy who slaughters goblins, and that's a fine premise! It gave me flashbacks to clearing out goblin caves in Oblivion and Skyrim. I just wonder how they'll expand the premise because surely it isn't just clearing caves over and over.
