I mean, you see the lore and the world that it has... You see great potential, but its author simply doesn't take advantage of or explore the world, ideas and concepts that he created.

Re:creators, without a doubt. Really strong setup, great ideas that could go in endless directions and even become an ongoing franchise... wasted its characters and potential by bogging down the second half a nonstop train of episodes of pure exposition with nothing happening.

All they had to do was write the final stretch as Our War Game except in favor of the antagonist and they somehow wrote something way more retarded.

Nah they literally use most of the world building

What a garbage anime.
The nonstop exposition was littered throughout the anime, by the librarian with the mind numbing monotone voice.
All of the story characters were half assed concepts rather than actual characters.

Well Kyubey DID favour piousness for his convoluted ways over relatable transparency, so :D...

Re0's anime adaption. It pussies out almost every time the original wn adds lore or adds somethin with darker implications for the future. It adds it to the fucking chibi breaktime at best.

Tank Chair had its first 3 chapters about killing weird superpowered goons in a world that kinda like Dorohedoro but more cyberpunk. Then it quickly turns into a shonenslop with the introduction of an "Academy" which is basically the fuckin Arrancar from Bleach and the first main baddie is just some immortal gay twink. After the first arc the setting is basically just a group of friends get to fight another new baddie like any shonenslop and so on. What pisses me off is how there's no moral ambiguity like in Dorohedoro, that shit just goes out the window and replaced with boring developments

So much potential in the world building and the faggot gives up. What a waste

>>290832159
Overlord gets worse the longer you consume it because you become more and more sure with each episode, each chapter, each arc that Maruyama will never utilize the setting, lore or characters in any meaningful way.

>>290832264
Overlord is slice of life
>>
>>290832159
Yeah. The actual world building was great but he just refused to do anything interesting with it.
>>
>>290832138
Raildex can't be helped, it's literally what schizophrenia looks like, alternating between slice of life happy friendship arcs and full blown psychosis, child abuse, massacre, crimes against humanity arcs. Whoever is writing this shit needs to be put on a tray of acid until it's finished and then be forbidden of ever touching it again.

Jap entertainment suffers from this in general, they're great at coming up with unique concepts but awful at the actual storytelling side of things

Bummer. I've only ever seen the cover but thought it looked brutal and gory

IMO, the show failed to establish why there's a need for season 2 to exist.
There's no threat out there, no one ever posed a challenge to them that's why they should've just conquered everyone at any point in season 2 and not waste all their audience's time until the season 3.

Shinsekai Yori is a good idea, but the characters are terribly written and it doesn't know how to tell the story without constant exposition. It's a clear example of a good idea and horrible execution.

>>290832468
HxH's worldbuilding isn't terribly cohesive. It's mostly just a patchwork of Togashi's autistic fixations.

The elves came back because they wanted to get their attention or what? I mean, why else would nobody die when they're supposed to be holding a grudge for so long? S.M.H....

>>290839575
Because the protagonist isn't exactly trying to conquer everyone, but just flying by the seat of his pants. Of course I think it should have homed in on aspect way more, have more interpersonal drama between him and his minions. Have one or a couple turn on him, future civil war, honestly there are so many good angles with the solid worldbuilding in place, but seems the author had no real idea of where he was going with the story.
