I get it. She likes it when shows make the characters less one dimensional, so she can be invested in their drama. She likes the little things that show the character's personalities and the slice of life build ups so that the drama has more weight and it feels like something is happening to real people.

[@IshtarNike]

This is basically how I feel. For me demon slayer season one was the best because it had the most slice of life and character development. It's got worse and worse when every new season was just boss fights. Now season 4 is out and I just couldn't care less. It's boring and all the fun is gone because literally the entire season, bar about 2 episodes, is pure boss battle. Of course you "can" do character work in fight scenes, but only certain kinds of character work can be done there. They demonstrated this by how much of the fourth season was stupid flashbacks lol. It was just epically weak.

[@Wolfedge75]

You know, she does have a point. Slice of life segments are meant to give characters an air of relatability as they wind down from all the action for a short while. So yeah, seeing characters just goofing off, being themselves lets me get invested in them.

[@papafreddy2123]

I think the main issue with them trying to get Emily into anime is that they're recommending shows based on their taste instead of her taste. Even though she was talking about how much she didn't care for fight scenes or gore, they keep trying to recommend shows that are 80-90% fighting with a few exceptions here and there, but most of them are centred around things that appeal to shonen fans more than shojo fans (which seems to be Emily's case), so it's not wonder they were having such a hard time with it. Maybe it's due to the fact that the boys rarely watch shows that are in her wheelhouse, so it was quite difficult to relate to her taste and give recommendations based on those tastes. What I would've recommended Emily: Gintama, Tonikaku Kawaii, Danshi Koukousei no Nichijou, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Non Non Biyori etc.

[@marcuslatrell8920]

[@jwm1444]

I mean they've said several times in so many words that anime that tries to be more than smackdown or fqn service fests, with a few exceptions, are generally "pretentious".

[@krayola301]

I kinda get what emily is trying to say I mean after seeing action animes for so many times you just get tired of all the actions because it can be quite stressing to watch from all the dangerous situations and possibility of the characters not making out alive since you are invested in it so it was a breath of fresh air when you watch slice of life animes because of just the everyday life interactions and stories you can relate. Anyways, Emily might also like the disastrous life of saiki. It’s a goofy anime and all of saiki’s interactions with the other characters are funny. There is also the amazing world of gumball, it’s a cartoon but it’s a funny series.

[@jm8837]

I'm like her from time to time. I got riled up a lot when I'm watching shonen, they hype me to the point of tears, makes me sad and depressed, and just overall exhaust me especially if it's a really long arc and I still need to go through a lot of stress just to reach a conclusion just like how every major arcs in One Piece are (still love one piece tho and would probably rewatch it again). But sometimes I get break from shonen from watching slice of life anime or just rom com. I don't like drama too much because it gives me stress too. I totally get her and how she just wants just random shenanigans and not focusing too much on the show and still being able to enjoy it because sometimes some show just info dump you in the face. I really love AOT but in every episode I really have to use my brain just to understand what's going on so it exhaust me too and it gives me too much adrenaline that I'm shaking with my body sometimes so I hope no one judges Emily so harshly because damn I've been there everytime a shonen anime tires me out, it's a comfort zone. Also would like to mention Daily Life of a highschool boys and baka to test, not really sure if they are shounen but those are good shows that I think she can enjoy.

[@orangutan-halibut-walrus]

yeah emirichu and daidus clearly prefer emotional drama or cute slice of life shows. the boys didn't get the memo. it was pretty awkward watching them suggesting things that were clearly not in her sphere of interest. it's like going to a record store and recommending taylor swift to a metal fan. you might get them to try it, but when you keep pushing the same thing over and over again, it gets grating and awkward. it was mostly connor just not getting that his taste in anime is pretty obviously shonen. not everyone is going to like what 13 year old boys like. it was painfully obvious when connor didn't get why a girl didn't like a idiotic muscular guy like toudo-- but then again, 99% of why trash taste creates so much controversy is because the boys have trash taste and have such conviction that their opinion is correct.

[@BlueLoveYT]

I want to see Emily roast the boy's taste in anime next. She needs her redemption arc

[@CrimsonCharan]

Unfortunately for her, she can't. Their favorites are either too obscure/niche for her to have watched, too popular and well-acclaimed for her to roast without getting roasted herself, or way too degenerative to effectively do so. For example, Joey likes Serial Experiments Lain, Bakemonogatari, and Mononoke. Fat chance of her having actually watched any of them. They also aren't her shows of choice, so who knows if she will ever watch them. Garnt likes Domestic Girlfriend, Oreimo, and Eromanga Sensei. Trashy shows, yes. But he is aware of that, and likes them anyway despite it, or because of it. So, roasting him won't do much good. Connor likes Hunter x Hunter, Jojo, Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, etc. You roast those shows, you're basically getting a death sentence. So yeah, anyway you look at it, Emily is shit outta luck.

I mean... That's most anime that she put on both sides. A lot of anime have good character dynamics but have competitive/physical violence elements and a lot of anime has good character dynamics without competitive/physical violence dynamics. Emily's taste is cheesy/sappy anime (aka the shojo genre), whereas the guys are more interested in how dynamics revolve around the competition/conflict (aka shonen).

[@nahuel3433]

Tournament arcs aren't (just) loved because of the cool fights. Its about the character dynamics of the different and usually new and exciting competitors.

[@narioh9121]

I agree that there are a lot of action packed animes with good character dynamics like dorohedoro, mob psycho 100, and cowboy bebop (i luv them the most) and i think Emily would like them despite some being shounen because the dynamics shines more than the plot. Ofc every show have character dynamics to some degree, but it's a matter of how fleshed out and interesting it is. Each to their own :DD

[@deadersurvival4716]

@@narioh9121 I mean, character dynamics are part of the plot, so I don't think that's it either. Plus, that seems to be the opposite of the case, since most competition shonen focus on how the protagonist influences the group dynamic, and how the group dynamic influences them. While Shojo (the genre of series that she was talking up) focus on how the protagonist (both singular and plural) exist among the world around them, more than the dynamics, plot, or how the environment or characters influence each other.

Seeing the characters interact in more casual situations really help build the audience's relationship with them. I'm a JJK manga reader now, but in Season 1 of the anime I found it hard to get invested in a lot of the stuff that was happening because the story was moving so fast for me to get to know these characters.

[@pennyinheaven]

This. Haven't read the manga and not planning to but I keep saying the same thing with S1. Maybe it's great for those who read the manga but I just can't be invested on S1.

I have a lot of criticisms towards MHA but one of my biggest ones is the fact that, despite the series almost bring over, and we’ve literally barely spent any actual time with Class 1-A just hanging out They’re LITERALLY the main class??? Unless you’re the main cast, you’re pretty much gonna get sidelined. and even then, We don’t really see much of the main 3 hanging out in their leisure too. Its honestly an issue i have with golden wind too tbh. Part 3 isn’t that good either and most of the main cast is underdeveloped and goes on for way too long. But the giant plus-side of that length is that we get to spend WAY more time with them and actually GET to see them in their downtime a bit more. Even if they’re not written great, you still build a connection with them by just being around them. Something I honestly can’t say for part 5 characters that aren’t mista or narancia (or the majority of mha characters tbh) And this is coming from someone who might genuinely like mha AND part 5 over part 3. 💀 I’m with emily Its like a lot of the folks behind modern shonen anime saw the huge negatives that came with the filler of the older shonen (bleach, dragonball, naruto etc) and instead of finding a middle ground, they just dramatically went in the other direction and often cut content from the manga to the point where the anime has almost 0 downtime 😭😭😭😭

I can relate to Emily's taste, I'm mostly a shoujo-wholesome--cute-dramatic plot driven series fan. And that's why it took me VERY LONG to watch Jojo, I looked at the characters and went "ew why ugly". It took me a little while to get into it but damn do I regret waiting for so long to give it a chance. There's good chances of her enjoying ESPECIALLY Part 4, which is my favorite! Lots of wholesome episodes and fun character moments that are not about the fighting. And now I actually love the art style too.

​@@CrimsonCharan ​Oh course not? There's a lot of shonen series I enjoy, like Kaguya-sama, Your lie in April, Inuyasha, Spy Family, Haikyu...all of them pleasant to the eye at first glance and not about fighting and buff guys. (and yes, they are all shonen) To be fair my first ever shonen was Saint Seiya and I really enjoyed it despite the fighting and violence, but that's probably because I thought most of the gold saints were good looking.

[@chi5209]

Okay, so basically Emi prefers character driven stories where the stakes are centered around the characters and their relationships with each other instead of some great external threat. Fruits Basket is deceptive in it's initial cutesiness but while it's dramatic, it's grounded. There's no grand battles against otherworldly beings, it's a story about making growing up and how you actually need to make healthy connections with others to gain the independence to break from cycles of abuse. In Madoka Magica sure, the world might end, and there's battles against witches but the story isn't centered on the end of the world. It's centered on Madoka, her internal conflict between becoming a magical girl, and not wanting her idyllic life with her friends and family to change, and how the people around her (mostly Homura and Sayaka) influence that internal conflict. Spy x Family has the constantly underlying political tension and threat of war, but the reason we care about this is because amidst the tension an unlikely family that begins to genuinely care for each other starts to form. I understand where she's coming from...why should I care about the end of a fictional world if I don't care about the people who live in it?

[@vanilla7994]

Damn, this perfectly broke down why I enjoy all of the animes you mentioned so much. Fights are cool, but cooler when they are tied with stakes and significance to the characters partaking. In a medium like anime, nothing is more interesting to me than stories about people’s internal conflicts.

As an avid Slice-of-Life enjoyer, I connect with Emirichu spiritually. My favorite shows are shows that absolutely nothing ever goddamn happens. I've been enjoying Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, it's the rare "True" Slice-of-Life" that I've seen recently. Nowdays, I think a lot of Slice-of-Life that have came out recently are just romcoms in disguise. "True Slice-of-Life" for me personally is stuff like Lucky Star, Yuru Camp and such. Of course I did like Dress Up Darling, but that is more ecchi romcom than Slice-of-Life.

You know what, I actually really relate to what Emily's saying here. The way I would put it, is that sometimes anime fights just feel like "two guys blast magic at each other" and the action quickly starts to lose weight. I really really love action that involves real weapons or more hand-to-hand combat, or anything that explores characters and interesting themes. Shonen can have that too, but any part that is just fighting without the "weight" factor is just dull imo. That's the reason why I couldn't get in Jojo, for example.

I know it's "trash taste" and the boys' taste are "officially not better" But.. I dunno. This segment got me really frustrated and pissed off... It was the same feeling what I felt back at Meilyn's 3x3 ... Let girl fans love their shojo/josei/reverseharem/whatelse shows without being judged. Let them have trash tase similarly to others without them feeling bad about it. Let them enjoy characters that they can relate to. (Shit, don't tell me the guys' favourite shows and characters are not their power fantasies of themselves -.-) And I know they are good friends and this is just for fun and a good crack, but... I really tried to defend the boys but I just couldn't. Sorry, it was borderline bullying for me. Same with Meilyn and I listened to that part multiple times as well, just to find something that I could use to justify their behaviors. I still love these "degenerates", their videos and their podcast. This issue is just something I wanted to voice out. I also know, it could come from the whole notion of "teenage girls' interest is always something to laugh at and to mock of", moreover they mention series that are universally declared god tier, but I didn't like or get into them as well, and I know I wouldn't get into them ever (even if it's on paper has elements that i like in a show) Heck, Emily's whole childhood crushes series are much better than this discussion. Erold and Daidus were mocking her but it was in much more gentle way. And it was back and forth. I love that video and the extended one as well. It radiates so much more joy and fun. That was a nice banter, this is not. Again, I love the boys, but when you have this big audience (which is niceee) and this many followers... Then even if you say and hide behind that "yeah but I like trash, and I have trash taste" the meaning will change... It will become "good" trash, something that you might being goodheartedly mocked off. But when it comes to other shows and other people mocking and stating their trash taste is much harsher. The stigma did not disappeare, only the context changes it. In tash taste community it loses its original meaning. Yet, I say it only applies to the boys and guests who has similar taste.

But, from everything I've seen and heard, that's kind of the vibe I get.

my dress up darling is also nothing new. its just a "will they wont they" trope of romance that is just unbearable to watch. Also, JJK is peak shounen, especially after the Shibuya arc. Of course, JJK will be related to other shounens because of intertextuality. No work in literature is truly original, bozo. JJK is just straight up one of the best shounen.

[@shadowstar2194]

​@@espada8077 Honestly, I think you missed the entire point of My Dress up Darling. Sure it's a romance but ultimately, it's more of a coming of age story with Gojo. He's thrown in there and you would expect him to be just like every other generic romcom protagonist where they're supposed to be blank slates that you self insert into. But Gojo is an actual character, he has goals and aspirations, he develops, etc... Marin is there to be the catalyst to make that happen rather than be just a one dimensional love interest that follows MC around like a dog like most shows do with the main female lead. As for JJK, I wrote that comment before I had seen the movie. I still stand by season 1 of JJK being meh at best. I get that of course EVERY story will take parts from others, that's unavoidable but JJK in season 1 wore it's influences on it's sleeves and refused to deviate. It was enjoyable but an extremely predictable experience when it tried to portray itself as something deeper with complex issues like what makes the right death, how should you truly live life, etc... That being said, I have since watched JJK 0. I'm much more impressed with the series now. JJK 0 was really good. I haven't started season 2 yet, gonna let it go a bit further before I binge it rather than watch weekly. But to say it's one of the best shounens out there? It still has some work to do before I'd give it that accolade. If everything after JJK 0 stays as good as 0 was, then it definitely will have it's place as one of the best shounens but for now, no, I disagree.

I kinda agree with Emily that I don't like when shows take too long to be great.

One example is Tower of god, I just didn't like it but everyone just said "IT'S AN PROLOGUE" , but do prlogues need to be that boring? The same thing happened with That time I got reincarnated as a slime, if I didn't like the anime after 12 episodes, it's fair to say that it's not for me. On the other hand Vinland Saga started a little slow but from the very beginning I loved the characters, the atmosphere, the production and so on.

jjk is actually an exception for me because i also usually don't care about battle shonen lol her taste is totally understandable and much more in line with what i usually like. i love character driven shows! the interactions between characters and how they evolve as people/their relationships is what keeps me interested (not even in a shippy way)! it doesn't have to be feel good, i really like drama and angst in my shows, but not having a lot of things happening and focusing more on characters is Fine and Good actually
