This is the most retarded thing I've ever seen in my life. Everyone who agrees with that unironically should be executedFullmetal is a nekketsu, just because you like it does not change it's genre. Fucking dimwit
This is the problem with fake elitism>popular is bad. Shounen is popular so shounen is bad. The most common shounen is fighting/nekketsu so it's worst of all. Therefore for an anime to be great it mustn't be a nekketsu, so the things that I like aren't shounen
>>84448953If two retarded anime girls have a slapfight during an argument about pastries, is it a fighting anime?
>>84448953>Fullmetal is a nekketsuWhat the fuck anime were you watching? Fullmetal is philosophy first, relationships second, fighting a distant third if that.
>>84448953Don't know which zoomer attention-seeking behavior is more annoying, saying things that are good and popular are actually bad or saying that medicore garbage is actually amazing (and they're tired of pretending it's not!). It's probably still the latter for me.
>>84448953>fullmetalis actually shite. It suffers the same stupidity most series do. too long, too boring, too stupid, etc.Cowboy Bebop, for example, has some negatives, but is wholly a superior anime, because it's so much shorter and interesting.
>>84448953>nekketsuThis is how I know an anime is not worth it. It's when people start using japanese words to describe it.You could just have use hack'n'slash you know?
>>84449100>anime that is 70% fighting isn't fighting Ultra retard>muh philosophy >muh relationship Yeah, that's called story. Do you think Dragon Ball or Hokuto no Ken have no story and they fight each other 100% of the time for no reason? Are you that retarded?
>>84449121Everyone who likes Cowboy Bebop is a retard who don't even know how to be pretentious. Trigun mogs it to the heavens
>>84449180>Do you think Dragon Ball or Hokuto no Ken have no story and they fight each other 100% of the time for no reason?Yeah, pretty much.
>>84448953FMB is overrated. I honestly don't know what the hype is. I found it to be very shallow and the themes very lacking.
mehi think gundam is better
Fullmetal alchemist is the biggest piece of turd I ever watched. I have watched other worst anime too, but at least they were short. I don't remember a single scene, single character story or plotline. Everything is aimless, bland and boring. The world is boring, the fights are boring, the characters are boring, all of it reads like kids first attempt at writing. I fucking hate hiromu arakawa for for tempering with Arslan Senki with her ugly disjointed and bland writing and design style. It is not "nekketsu" because basically it is just nothing. There is nothing in this piece of media. There are ads more interesting and deep that this
>>84449273Okay but land of the lustrous was a bad fighting anime so we will disregard your argument.
>>84449304Because it is not a fighting anime. Honestly idk what the genre was, probably existential dread.
>>84449329Have you read the manga? It's philosophy.
>>84449193https://voca.ro/15v09Q3hPJWE
>>84449338Yeah yeah I have. We were talking about anime though. I cant call the anime philosophy because it is unfinished piece. But generally I dont think term philosophy applies to entertainment . Its an abstract slice of life with philosophical and religious motifs. As a genre "philosophy" refers to some kirkegaard chuds screeching about unfair life for 2000 pages.
>>84449338Philosophy isn't a genre. Something can be action and be philosophical, it can be comedy and by philosophical, terror and philosophical and so on
>>84449413So at what rate of "fights per episode" does it become a fighting anime? Because one anime girl slapfight ain't it.... or is it?
>>84449437>anime girl slapfightI've midwit disingenuousness fatigue
>>84449193I did not say I like it, I said it is superior to the fullmetal. Because it is. And FLCL is superior to Cowboy Bebop. Now what? You gonna get your panties in a twist because of FLCL you fairie? Go be a retard somewhere else, faggot.
None of these zoomer shite even watch the anime they obsess over. They only get context from 30 minute video essays and tiktok edits.
>>84449193>Bebop is pretentious That is true. Spike's sacrifice just comes off as selfish and retarded if you look back at it.
>>84449502Then stop being one. :^)
A battle anime (only beaners say nekketsu) revolves around the protagonist and the side cast fighting progressively stronger opponents and developing new techniques/forms/powers/etc. In Dragon Ball Z Goku fights Raditz, then Nappa and Vegeta, then Ginyu, then Frieza, etc. and the plot exists to move him from fight to fight. Same with FotNS, Kinnikuman, JJBA, etc. It's basically animated wrestling. I haven't watched FMA but it's presumably an adventure anime, like HxH is. Based on a plot synopsis it looks like Edward's goal is to find the Philosopher Stone, not defeat a villain; it has action but that's included in the adventure package.
