I don't think I've ever seen a more overrated anime, it was racking up top ratings, but it turned out to be a below-average isekai shonen that's only saved by its decent animation.
The very beginning is already ridiculous: some self-proclaimed sheriff-rougue who hasn't even osekaied yt already has OP powers - winning with a crowbar against two guns? Really?
And it only gets worse from there, I’ve never seen that unpleasant edge-lord character. And OP, he takes down everyone with a snap of his fingers, needlessly blows up half the city just to look “cool,” and underestimates every opponent, which often backfires both in anime and IRL. Zero worldbuilding, shallow charakters. Dropped after the halph
Why does this have such high ratings? Compared to, say, Konosuba, or Tensura it doesn’t even hold a candle to it

I like it because the main character can play the piano
There's nothing cooler than that

Believeing numerical ratings was your first mistake. Everyone on the internet can rate a series 10 but if its a series I don't like I won't watch it.

I bet you think Airplane is a shitty airplane movie too!

>>287433258
>not recognizing that your disbelief was supposed to be suspended
Shame on you OP. Your imagination and ability to consoom anime is subpar. You'd have really enjoyed the series had you recognized that it's not meant to be taken seriously as some kind of epic tone poem, but rather a deconstruction and odyssean adventure on the rails of isekai / OP MC tropes smattered with extremely hot elves and a fun premise. To rate Konosuba higher than it is to completely misunderstand both franchises. FOR SHAME
>>
>>287433258
I hated it for the same reasons too, and a little more. When I picked up the manga, I thought it was going to be something akin to a parody like Konosuba but more over the top. The first chapter was a nice introduction, but then it became yet another generic isekaislop. I had people tell me it's actually good, and I decided to wait for the anime, thinking the manga was a bad representation, but I was correct. Every problem I had with the manga, it was present in the anime. It's yet another isekaislop with a boring, safe MC, with OP powers
They should've made the MC a full-blown edgelord rather than yet another literal who. Would it have been good, considering the other characters are equally shit and/or boring? I don't know. But it would've been more interesting and fun, at the very least
>>
>>287433258
Insane how people get filtered by a clear parody just because it takes itself seriously. It's good because of that + all the things you mentioned. It doesn't treat itself as a comedy (which is what it is).

I smell a mentally ill OP samefagging, have a (you)

Modern anime is fucking garbage so something like this being praised makes sense. Yall been eating slop for 10+ years now.

Stop hating on chunni, chunni is the best. Kill yourself op.

If I want to see chuuni then I rather watch Code Geass or Solo Leveling.
>>
>>287433258
I saw a few episodes, mostly for the Albino Ojou-Sama, and yeah it was shit, why are these dudes so OP? You cannot have a decent storyline if the powergap between (You) and your antagonists is so big

>>287437188
>solo leveling
Double kill yourself op

I watched both seasons like 6 months ago and I remember practically nothing that happened. Guess it didn't leave much of an impression
>>
>>287433258
I dropped it when the guy was so obsessed with his "mob" persona that he went overboard to keep the charade going.
It was amusing the first time, but it's just cringe to look at after a while. Never been a fan about the whole "Heh, I'm just hiding my powerlevel" bs. It's quite literally the worst subtrope of the OP MC archetype. And this series made that as it's whole premise.
Not to mention the whole "I'm too cool for sex" despite every single girls are thirsting for his cock.
I bet he's the type of guy who would take it up the ass to keep his "mob" persona.

It's literally "1 joke, the series" and the only positive thing I can say about this one is the above average artstyle and animation.
>>
You know the entire premise is that he's supposed to be cringe, overpowered, and the most bland character imaginable on purpose, right?
>>
>>287433258
>below-average isekai shonen
no, you're just too stupid to appreciate LARP kino
>>
>>287437278
Rimuru also sometimes hides his powerlevel but it's not cringeworthy
Btw I don't understand why Tensura is so unserrated by /a/, 1 season was great, the rest also not bad
>>
>>287437761
I generally don't understand, and don't even try to understand, all these so-called "parodies" or "genre deconstructions" that Konosuba, for example, is supposedly
It's just a good anime that I watched without irony
>>
>Nooo this one is good because you're supposed to watch this ironically and never take it seriously!!
I fucking hate irony humor and irony poisoned faggots so much.
>>
>>287437763
>Rimuru also sometimes hides his powerlevel but it's not cringeworthy
With Rimuru, hiding his powerlevel is a deliberate disinformation campaign that is actually plot relevant as Tempest would have likely been wiped out in a later arc if he hadn't done that.
>>
>>287437278
This, why didn't he just want to become king and clean up the mess he'd gotten himself into?
Instead he plays a chaotic-neutral Batman, all while making every possible mistake, including disregarding his enemies and turning everyone against him, what would have killed him if he wasn't so ridiculously overpowered.
Watching this, you almost find yourself rooting for someone to finally beat the crap out of that buffoon.
>>
>>287433258
It's a comedy show disguised as edge. Cid is genuinely insane and you need to understand that this everything about this is a big RPG larp for him. It's more closer to Overlord except the difference is Ainz knows everything is fake while Cid thinks it's real.
>>
>>287437194
>You cannot have a decent storyline if the powergap between (You) and your antagonists is so big
One Punch Man is literally built on that premise? Yes you can. And there is also Overlord. Why are you powerlevelfags thinking that's the only way to build tension and conflict in the story?
>>
>>287438506
>Ainz
>OP
He can't even change his hideous skeleton firm
And one punch man is similar ironic parody to eminence

Man, imagine being so mentally starved of information or fun that you'd take this series seriously. People like you guys are what make this world worse, not better.

And Delta is here to stay, so give her a good headpat.

Awesome, thanks. Looks like I missed all the discussion, though.

I think that comedy is very hit or miss in general, and wouldn't fault anyone for not enjoying this one. But for some reason when you actually read complaints it seems that everyone who hates this is a retard that is judging it on the standards of serious power fantasy.
Either they write it off as yet another mindless power fantasy, or they complain that it isn't "proper" power fantasy that they can enjoy the stakes of. Occasionally you'll see "I didn't laugh so it doesn't count" immediately leading into one of the former two routes. It's so rare to see someone acknowledge that it's humor, say they didn't enjoy it, and successfully wrap up their opinion without writing something braindead about stakes.
>>
>>287437801
I don't think Konosuba is any sort of deconstruction whatever, it's just isekai comedy.
>>
>another thread from normalfag tourist that miss the entire point of series having mc roleplay his chuuni fantasies thinking that everyone else just plays along while they're dead serious
and the point is, it's not some 2deep4you series. It's straight up your face, and you still manage to entirely miss the point and get angry about things that are this simply, straight up TOLD
>>
>>287433258
its a comedy with one joke
the "serious" parts just felt like a waste of time and 90% of the characters are just another pair of tits to dangle in front of your face
>>
>>287433258
Another one?
>>
>>287440220
0% of Eminence in Shadow is serious, every element is ironic, none of the female characters are real characters
>>
>>287440220
>the "serious" parts
I'm lost as to what you even mean by this. There isn't a single "serious" moment that isn't situationally hilarious, and even if you weren't paying enough attention to realize why, the "tone" lasts 30 seconds.
