Do people hate this character due to the author purposely making him different from the traditional shounen protagonist?

>the odd thing is after V they don't mention it being a Getter Hybrid. X at less gets away with it by hinting it's Emperor G from V and Y just has it sensing and reacting to Emperor

That's what I mean by other origins. X just has it being said to be a Mazinger from another universe (although its profile was the same on from V), which leaves things vague enough, but Y (and DD) changed its origin to an automatic countermeasure to Kaiser going out of control, which then Tetsuya manages to pilot manually, with no mention of anything Getter related.

Kaiser and Emperor G do react to Getter energy in Y, but the dialogue says it's probably because they consider it a threat.

People who took anime seriously are disappearing. Blogs, articles, online debates, and the culture built around accumulating knowledge about the medium are currently in their death throes, and are now essentially kept alive by a small handful of people in their thirties on mainstream social networks like Twitter. This facet of the culture is genuinely coming to an end, and younger generations don’t seem eager to take up the torch. How does that make you feel?

>the way Renji treated her during her arrest is hard to justify
Did you forget that they spent like 40 years not talking at all because she got vaulted above him in status? Renji is clearly butthurt because it seemed like she was giving up being a shinigami to get lovey dovey with a human when hes spent decades pining over her but giving up due to her being royalty.

I actually also preferred Rukia and Renji after their backstory episode, you're not alone

Even when I was young (14 or so), when I watched NGE for the first time, I wanted Kaji and Asuka to end up together.

What does this say about me?

>>284680417
>>284681342
The creators were fond of it enough that they referenced it in TTGL. Diebuster seems to be more fondly remembered by its creators than its fans interestingly enough, which isn't exactly the case with a lot of Gainax productions.
>>
>>284681590
anime "fans" are retarded, so why would you concern yourself with what they think?

No, they didn't.
>>
>>284681623

>>
>>284654799
>while Diebuster easthetically isn't much different from modern anime
That's partly because the people who made Diebuster are still active and were making things into modern day while that isn't the case for the Gunbuster team.

I don't think too many shows could look like Diebuster today unless it was coming from Trigger. Meanwhile, back in the 00s, the idea of off the wall action like that wasn't completely gone so I think it looks like its from a different time as well. Just in a different way

It's already lasted way longer than most horror manga ever do. The only semi-popular one I'm aware of that's even anywhere close is Dandadan and Ura Baito is in fact SLIGHTLY longer than DDD is.

>>284669502
Seconding Shibito no Koe.
>>
>>284680832
Dark Gathering is closer to horror than Dandadan and it's lasted a long time too.
>>
I think a big problem with horror manga is that they're either built on a single premise that won't let them explore various horror scenarios (not that it's a bad thing, that's basically the description of every great horror movie) or purely episodic, with maybe a tiny bit of an overarching story every chapter (100 Stories that Led to My Death, Dareka ga Kaita Manga, etc.), which doesn't lend to longevity either, since you'd have to make an interesting story every week or so to maintain viewership.
Manga like Ura Baito and Shibito no Koe manage to avoid this issue by having recurring protagonists that can evolve as the manga go on, without even the need of an overarching story (Ura Baito went 50+ chapters before Q was introduced and some of the most famous stories are from before their introduction).
I wish more manga did this kind of setup, but then comes the issues of stakes. How can you make every chapter potentially seem the last for your main characters? It's quite hard.
A variation I really like is when the MCs aren't so much the protags of a ghost story, but detectives trying to figure out a mystery. That manga that got a anime (it was called Girls and Monsters and Spiriting Away or something) was basically this variation in its purest form, with actual detective monologues and stuff. If only it didn't break the tension so much with ecchi and had less generic characters...
There's also action horror, which is kino when done right. A lot of gory action series have horror elements, but none of them feel like actual horror, except stuff like Dark Gathering, and it's fucking kino when done right.
>>
>>284681797
Oops, I repeated myself at the end. But it's true, action horror is kino when done right. I hope I get to see a horror fighting manga in my lifespan. Although some would call Kengan Omega a psychological horror manga considering what it's done to its audience...

Going off trailers and maybe my perception is being skewed by Mihono Bourbon samevoice but isn't she just a kuudere? If her confident pose here was representative of her character and she was more like Punch Scarlet then I could scrounge up several harem cast members who have a saintess aura who MC is intimidated by, but kuuderes are literally one leg of the most famous waifu war in history. Also villainess reincarnation is not shoujo.
