"I DON'T WATCH SHITTY HAREM ANIME">Watches Death Note>Watches Chainsaw Man>Watches GANTZ>Watches Evangelion>Watches FLCLThey really underestimate the influence of Takahashi-Sensei.
Woman worshipper being retarded? More likely than you would think. I bet you don't even know why I think you're retarded.
Key word here is shitty. All of those have an actual plot that isn't a self insert power fantasy for incelcuckholds to pretend women love them.
>>283023244Well, except CSM.
>>283023244>All of those have an actual plot that isn't a self insert power fantasy for incelcuckholds to pretend women love them.>CSM>GANTZ>EVADelusional
>>283023268>pretend women love them>chainsaw manzero media literacy found
>>283023289Isn't Death Note more of a power fantasy than both EVA an CSM?
>>283022846All of them better than a shitty harem
>>283022964>Woman worshipper being retarded? More likely than you would think. I bet you don't even know why I think you're retarded.>ACSHTUALLY TAKAHASHI isn't that influential because random, obscure Shojo anime from the 60s was the real first harem and actually the tsundere comes from Takarazuka Revue or some shitThat's not what influential means!It wasn't culturally influential until Takahashi.
>give shonen a try>big fight happens>5 seconds of fight>next 3 episodes are backstories of everyone in the fight>4th episode is a thinly vield recap episode>5th episode is finally the fight>villian runs off>next 2 episodes are them trying to finds the villian>another episode with 5 seconds of fight and more filler garbage>3 more episodes of filler garbage>finally get to the fight
>>283023647>All of them better than a shitty haremJesus christ, these kids...>>283023734>next 3 episodesThis is your problem. Read the fucking manga for better pacing.
>>283023784>talk about anime>someone brings up manga for no reasonwhat kind of retarded logic is this
>>283023831bro makes the fact he reads the manga instead of watching the anime his entire personality
>>283023831>for no reason>specifically complains about the anime format when it can be easily fixed by ditching the format.
>>283023876I've never got why anyone would feel elitist for reading comics over cartoons
Holy fuck! Is the average anon age 19 all of the sudden.
>>283023908>man, this movie sucks>just read the book lol
>>283022846>Death Note?
>>283023975It's a harem at the end of it, just edgy.
>>283023369The guy in CSM wants a harem, it’s just a shitty story.
>>283022846>"I DON'T WATCH SHITTY HAREM ANIME"Right, I watched a loved story that had a concluded ending that moved me to tears.
>>283024047There's like 4 women and half of them are relatives of the MC. Unless you mean you harem
>>283024610*yaoi harem
>>283023550Death Note is literally a story about why nobody can be trusted with the titular death note.
>>283024670nobody but me. give me the thing and all'll will be fine. trust me, dude
>>283024670Yes, but it's also a bisexual yandere harem.
>>283024781>Anon thinks he can be trusted with the death note from the hit anime "Why nobody can be trusted with the death note".
>>283024670IDK it kind of seemed like a meditation on Japans system of criminal justice and its application of the death penalty. rather than a simple variation on the theme of: >individual bad, society good!but sure nippon is a collectivist hell hole so maybe all it wanted to say was that Light was a faggot who should have tried harder to fit in.
>>283022846Well, I've watched NONE of those.
>>283024670The authors said its about spending the life you have left in the best way, apparently.
The Inuyasha anime is shit. Read the manga if you don't want flanderized characters
>>283022846Being influential doesn't make something goodBeing influenced by something that was bad doesn't make something badHarem is trash, simple as
>>283022846>>Watches GANTZWho does that?
>>283023784>Jesus christ, these kids...>Nooooo my show about a vacuous pud surrounded by even more vacuous girls is high kino!!Your shit show is lame
I didn't watch Death NoteI only got through season 1 of Chainsaw Mandidn't watch GantzSaw the 90s Eva anime onlyOnly saw season 1 of FLCLI don't think you realize that you went after a tiny portion of anime fandom with this, OP. Did you think that those are really super popular anime or something?
>>283028000>I don't think you realize that you went after a tiny portion of anime fandom with this, OP. Did you think that those are really super popular anime or something?The point of OP is that it is hypocritical to criticize harem as a genre for someone who watches any of those harem shows just because they don't feel like regular harem.
>>283022846is that Kagome? I dont remember that face.
>>283028072They're not harem though
>>283028127Harem genre is where a single protagonist is the object of romantic or sexual interest from multiple potential partners at the same timeLiterally all of the ones mentioned apply.Is not only harem, but it is harem.The same way Attack on Titan is essentially a shitty Gundam series in it's components.
>>283028316Explain Death Note please.
>>283028316That's a dishonestly broad definition.But if you wanna play that game, try explaining that a cup is a type of plate. It's fun.
>>283028539>a cup is a type of plateNTA but it technically can be if you're using it to serve stick-shaped foods and (colloquially) define "plate" as "a dish used to serve solid food." I use them for piroulines when I do charcuterie boards. Plates definitionally have to be flat though since "plate" refers to the flatness of the dish, not the dish itself.
>>283028539>That's a dishonestly broad definition.No, these authors were perfectly concious they were indulging in harem tropes.
What's wrong with harem anime?
>>283028905Explain Death Note then
>>283029136They're poorly written, garbage self insert escapism.
>>283026881>its application of the death penaltyNo, it has nothing to do with the Japanese death penalty. The issue is the conviction itself.Death Note asks the, admittedly silly, question: "What if the punishment for every crime was death, if everyone who gets prosecuted is considered to be guilty."The issue is in the second half here, it's about the way prosecution works, not the punishment. The punishment is exaggerated to point out the injustice in the system.Also Mikami is a prosecutor whose only joy in life is killing people.Death Note is at its least interesting when it's just the tsundere yaoi drama.
>>283022846>They really underestimate the influence of Takahashi-Sensei.What does Rumiko have to do with harem?
>>283029221And yet, Love Hina is one of the greatest pieces of media ever made.
>>283029290It's not even in the running for honorable mentions
>>283023941No we're not that lucky, shounen fans just have low mental ages.Unfortunately the site is still aging and declining
>>283029259>Death Note asks the, admittedly silly, question: "What if the punishment for every crime was death, if everyone who gets prosecuted is considered to be guilty."You're describing Sekien no Inganock, it's set in a city where all crimes are punished by death without exception. Yes it's a dystopian shithole.
