Have you ever tried giving Pokemon Horizons a chance?
>>59325151I tried it, but it's just bad; maybe WW has something better.
>>59325151Haven't watched since Sinnoh but I tried an episode of Horizons.I thought it was fine___ ____ ____ ___ ____
>>59325151Why is it not available on youtube?
>>59325151I watched about 30 episodes and then dropped off. Tried to get into it again from the start but then dropped off about 10 episodes in. So don't say I didn't give it a chance to grab me.
>>59325151F L O PLOp
>>59325208yo I did the same thing around 30 eps. I want to binge it somete but I'm not really motivated idk
>>59325208>>59325255*sometime
>>59325200People wouldn't watch this even if it was free.
>>59325255Scrolling through episode listings, I'm pretty sure HZ033 was the furthest I've gotten. So yeah, I'm now over 100 episodes behind and I don't really give a shit anymore.
>>59325151Been watching it weekly since it first aired. It's okay at times, and it's great at times. Mighty G, Pikachu's first flight, and a few other scenes were genuinely amazing. It has its flaws for sure though, like Ult existing and that ugly as fuck new girl they're adding at some point (bitch has quicksilver spikes for eyelashes and giant fins for twintails, what the fuck).
>>59325341It's worth watching up to ep89 (final of arc 4).So not really 100+ eps, you could still take your time.
Not really, but i also stopped watching the original Pokemon series after like the 4th gen.
>>59325151It's not mind-blowing but it IS an above-average pokemon anime unlike Journeys which I couldn't digest at all.
>>59325151It's what made me start watching the anime again for the first time since kid me dropped it midway through Orange Islands. And it's the first time the anime has actually ever been good.
>>59325151It's great. It's a Pokémon series that actually keep it's focus. Instead going with old formula with Ash challenging the league while going to random places that extended the story, it's a original story following two characters trying to learn about an ancient hero and how the action of this hero is causing the issue that they are having to this day. They just finish their Rakua saga and now is on a laidback story trying to finish showing off the rest of Gen 9.
>>59325151I would have been all over it 20 years ago. Just from watching the first few episodes I can tell that Liko is my type. Maybe I should give it another try.
>>59325151Okay. Sell it to me. What's so good about it? Why should I watch it?
It's definitely an improvement overall. The timeskip has been mediocre but the 1st season in particular pulls off a coherent and cute formula. Also it has Meowscarada.
>>59325151Yes, it's dogshit
>>59325151No, I never really watched the anime.I watched some of the movies and Origins, but that was it. Kieran is cute in it though.
Did it have a Z-A arc?
>>59325492>The story is episodic, but follows a consistent story from start to finish.>The protagonist trio (later quartet, soon to be quintet) have flaws, and cover for one another.>The protagonist trio actually grow as characters, starting off somewhat stale but later becoming more complex and fleshed out.>The supporting cast is composed of enjoyable characters who are not dead weight to the team, and each have a story to tell and a role they fulfill.>Temporary and sporadic characters fulfill their roles well, and feel like fleshed out characters from the start. Even one-offs feel unique.>The antagonists are a genuine threat, but show some humanity from time to time. Their goals are initially vague, but they are hunting Liko and The Rising Volteccers for a reason; to find the lost paradise of Rakua.>Elements of Scarlet and Violet are present, and in future episodes we'll have elements of spinoffs and possibly WIWA depending on runtime. Sometimes the elements are more obvious than not, but this is not based on the games; it's detached from the games and tells its own story.>One of the villains is a brat who desperately needs correctionIt's a good episodic thing if you don't compare it to the Ashnime. Set the comparisons to the side and watch it as its own standalone thing for the best viewing experience.>>59325518Not yet, no.
>>59325494Dude, the timeskip is so undercook. It's not even funny how the Wonder Voyage arc just started and is already better rating than it did when the series let Roy be the leader. They should have plan that shit longer and better.
>>59325687Yeah it's pretty bad, but I'm glad it's over. The show fellating Roy for 30 episodes only for the actual hype moments to be Liko related really says it all.
>>59325579I don't mean to be rude, but it sounds extremely generic and the OCs are really ugly.
This will probably be the last season of Horizons. No, Liko and Roy can't stay as protags because their main mons are Paldean starters, and they need to shill Gen10, not Gen9 again. Also, they don't have any goals to justify keeping them as protags.
>>59325728>they don't have any goals to justify keeping them as protags.fabulous
>>59325728I mean, from the point they retired Ash it already became free real state to keep swapping MCs every gen, just like the way god intended back in gen 2.
>>59325484Who is this pink haired woman?Is she single....
>>59325770>woman
>>59325777I think I love herHow big of a character is she, will I be able to see my wife often?
>>59325790You're in luck anon, she's one of the main antagonists and shows up a ton
>>59325151It's decent, without being exceptional. It's clearly better than ashnime which is just a series of meaningless filler episodes
>>59325894>It's clearly better than ashnime>meaningless filler episodesIt's about the journey not the destination. Those "filler" episodes made the series.
>>59325151I can hardly sit through episodes of it. It's immature and I feel like it only exists to push merchandise. Every few months, I see screenshots of it and get psyopped into giving it another chance, and I have to stop almost immediately.
>>59327090inb4 "The franchise as a whole is immature, why are you even here? You're clearly no better"Habit, maybe? I'm not having fun anymore.
>>59325790>her>she
>>59325324That's not true. All the anime episodes they have on their official youtube have 20+ million views with comments turned off.
>>59325484AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA Pasta*Italian war cry*
>>59325151Doesn’t look interesting so mo
>>59325151Good
>>59327695It's also free on Nyaa and still gets thousands of downloads every week despite its target audience being too computer illiterate and lazy to pirate anything.
>>59328051It must be the chinese.
https://anikototv.to/watch/pokemon-horizons-the-series-2obfr/ep-1Just have an adblocker.
>>59328140>I watch until minute 1:15, I notice that the MC is a cringe little girl.Into the fucking trash, nice try jews!!
>>59328140LIKO NOOOOOOO! LiKOOOOOOOO!!!!That first episode was sad and traumatic
>>59325151It is interesting
>>59325169I mean, it's not worse than the original anime (which was also bad)
>>59327691If it looks rapeable, then it's a woman.
>>59328853>This other thing is also badAnd?
>>59325151Yeah, I've been watching it almost weekly if I have time. It's pretty fun. Wish the animation budget was a bit higher though, it looks pretty bad sometimes.
>>59326950>It's about the journey not the destination.That only works if you actually make the entire show like that and have the destination at the end.
>>59325728They should be rotated out once Gen 9 ends.That said, they do have goals that allow them to keep them as MCs.
>>59325579>It's a good episodic thing if you don't compare it to the AshnimeIf you compare it to the ashnime it goes from good to shakesperean.
>>59325169>maybe WW has something better.Don't count on it. The anime is just glorified advertisement.
>>59325151for once, I didn't feel like I was wasting my time while watching the pokemon anime
I gave it a chance. It makes the Ashnime look like a fucking joke. My only criticism is that Penny has a large role in it.
>>59325151It was very boring.
