A good story is satisfying to read because of the plethora of interesting and well written characters. Saying that only one character or a specific team of characters carry the show is a little bit of an exaggeration .. While the truth is every character has an important role in a story. Even characters that were present for 10 chapters or so but their small time spend with the protagonist Helped to further develop the protagonist as a character meaning that their presence were important.. To sum it up i just wanna say that removing a single character or arc from a story will definitely make the story completely different and it will most likely lose its balance

[@manwithnoname8229]

yeah but it's annoying to see people say Askeladd carried the Vinland Saga anime, like what they don't get that he is the main character of just that season, of the prologue arc, Thorfinn isn't, but there are other well written characters in it, e.g. Canute, Thorkell, Thors, that drunk priest, Thorfinn etc. Sure Askeladd was the best character by far and he stood out more but what I mean is if you take out Askeladd from the story, it doesn't make the story completely different, it makes it become non existent. You cannot remove Askeladd from the story since he is an integral character. So many dumb people out there. Moreover, many people shit on Thorfinn in this arc and find him unbearably annoying, heavily unlikeable, and I'm like that's the point, he's not meant to be likeable but that doesn't make him badly written at all.

Not always true. For example tenten. You could take her out of the story and replace her with generic anime girl and the end result wouldn’t change at all. This is why I’m so disappointed in her. She had a great concept, weapons master but no screen time, no actual feats and no actual relevance.

It is easily my favourite anime of all time, and it disappoints me to no end to see people who seemingly love this show as much as I do, and are as passionate about it as I am, act so childishly towards others who don’t share the same opinion about it.

I liked the ending, but I didn't really enjoy the anime past season 3. Im good with that, most people should be, the issue is when people consider something bad for superficial reasons and think they're objective. You can be bored by Code Geass, One Piece, Fmab, AoT, MHA, idc; but as soon as you start hating on the writing without any genuine reasoning then you should keep your mouth shut. If you can create genuine criticisms, though, for example: One Piece's lack of death, I'm happy to accept that. I can admit every story has it's flaws, and I think that's a good thing to point out, but that doesn't mean that One Piece is "mid." writing wise, one piece is nearly perfect, in my opinion, but if people can point out flaws I am one hundred percent down to accept that.

A small part of MAL community is just like that. I know you said you knew that "every fandom does that", but I am still going to talk about this point. The fandom is pretty inactive since well it aired 12 years ago and hasn't had anything new (probably won't). It's true that many anime get review bombed when they get into the top, we have seen this recently. Yet everyone blames only and mainly FMAB fandom, they mostly don't even mention other anime fandom (maybe AoT but that's it). I have seen how toxic the other fandom are maybe even more than FMAB fandom itself, many insults to FMA and people saying overrated (we can see many examples in this comments section), memes and useless posts raging, encouraging others to review bomb FMAB as payback. Last time I checked the stats of FMAB (about july) it had 19k 1s, and now it has 22k. That's a 3k growth in a few months of a somewhat old anime. Yeah, when checking the stats of other anime we have seen FMAB fans and other anime fans. But we cannot really blame the fandom, it's really vague, one could be using bots, and people would think that it's the whole fandom doing this. I would even say FMAB is mostly a chill fandom, they receive criticism well, they know that people can like other things more. Why do I say this? Well, I've checked forums in MAL, the subreddit r/fullmetalalchemist (the latter is really great). I don't like to compare it with other anime, but I've seen other fandoms many times more obsessed with scores and they collectively trash on other anime and its fandom. My advice would be just to not care too much about stats, ignore the fandom when watching something.

I have witnessed multiple times how a show managed to get past FMAB in fruits baskets, Gintama 2015, steins gate, and AoT and immediately went a few places down after less than one day. Granted in AoT‘s case for its final season people were spam voting 10s after just the first episode aired so I get that but for the others, just …. Why. I mean I personally don’t very much care for MALs tops anyway because a lot of my favorites rank nowhere near it and stand at some ratings between 7.4 - 7.9 (seriously try watching some in that span, you’ll find TONS of hidden gems) j but every time I see stuff like that I just have to facepalm, like just stop.

This video definitely hit the nail on the head in regards to the current discourse in the anime/manga community. Most conclusions I see now about an anime or manga are either “this series is trash” (or “this series is mid” to get the same sentiments across while sounding less aggressive) or “this series is the GOAT” and they almost seem reactionary towards each other. It’s honestly gotten annoying and I think it’s a product of the hype culture that we’ve built up over the years. But like, I just want to read my fourth wall breaking comedy manga about a guy in happy relationship with 100 girlfriends who are all cool with the harem in peace. I don’t need someone coming in and telling me why Attack on Titan is a far superior manga because of how it has deeper themes, or that Fate is a better series because it has individual variations for all the girls from 18 new universes added in the exclusive Samsung smart fridge gacha game which is now canon.

2:50 This is so true. For One Piece they tend to put certain series against each other on a scale, let’s say, instead of on the steps of a staircase. The staircase can go on forever, having many steps going both up and down. You can have one show be your absolute favorite but there could always be room for another series on the step above it. What tends to happen with talks about One Piece is whenever an individual has a series as their top they always bring up One Piece with it, saying stuff like “Mid Piece” or whatever. Like why? This happens all the time on TikTok but I have I feeling it’s not the only place this sort of thing happens. You have no reason putting two series on a scale and while praising one of them, you downplay the other show on the scale. Just put them on a step and LET IT GO.

Excellent video, agree with the major points. I enjoy FMAB a lot but don't consider it to be the best anime nor do I care if another anime tops on mal. Many years ago Gintama was the highest-rated anime on Mal so this is not a new concept. I have discussed the other idea with friends of mind of hating an anime simply because it's popular. You should always watch the show first before coming to a conclusion. And when doing that I would advise going into the show with the intent to not outright hated. So many people do this and it results in some of the most annoying nitpicks. I never understood the complaints on AOT the entire story was brilliantly crafted. Yes, the ending was divisive but that doesn't mean the rest of the story is crap nor does it mean that the creator is either.

I was talking about Berserk with a classmate, I'm fairly new to the series so I educated myself on the story, yt analisis and all that so I could have a better understanfind and not going blind on a very different genre of what I usually read, It hooked me up almost instantly, I'm like Where have you been all my life!? This is amazing! So I'm at school and I'm basically breaking down artstyle, paneling, composition, psycoanalising characters, the whole shebang with my classmate (I aspire to the level of detail in Miura's artstyle when I publish my own stuff) and we're having a blast and then another classmate pops up while I'm explaining my process of introducing myself to the story and asks 'BUT ARE YOU *ACTUALLY* READING IT!?' And I'm like Oh, no. The rest is history. Like, one thing I hate *carnally* about anime and manga community is that YOU CAN'T LIKE *ANYTHING*, not matter what you choose, Oh, you like Tokyo Ghoul/Berserk,Made in Abyss, Etc- EDGY! Spy X Family, Kurokuro Basket, Inuyasha, Sailor moon? Oh, you can't stomach REAL MANGA, (the Berserker fandom also got it's issues but I don't touch it with a ten inches stick) Like, dude, people have different tastes AND THAT'S OKAY, there's an infinite amount of stories of infinite amount of genders, you can't narrow everything down and pretend only 3-5 mangas exist and only those are what people actually read, the idea of how many great stories you are missing on is kinda maddening. Berserk IS a taxing and heavy story that it's NOT everyone's cup of tea, in my case right now it's helping me during a mentally hard time in my life, how it doesn't shy away from the raw suffering and fatal flaws of it's characters is rather therapeutic in a way I can't explain during times of exaggerated censorship and 'woke' agendas, any other time I wouldn't have had the stomach nor the mental space to properly enjoy it and I would have tossed it away without giving it a chance. Full Metal, One Piece, HxH, AL OFF THEM have it's negative issues, no story is perfect, and I think that acknowledging this makes for a much healthier mindset, mangas don't have to stay 'relevant' to be good, it is the reader who gives love to that story, re-read it as many times as you want, reccomend it, MAKE SPACE FOR MORE MANGAS IN YOUR SHELF, and let people read and watch in peace for the love of god! Sigh, I'm done. XDDD (Suscribes)
