So as much as people tend to dislike the idea of a series to continue once the creator is dead, this shit is different, because the one who is continuing it is not only someone close to the creator, but was the inspiration of the story itself.

I feel like FMAB is considered "the best ever" by so many people not because it's actually the most mind-blowing anime ever made in the history of mankind but because it's pretty good under almost every aspect and that alone is good enough for the majority of people. Like, it has good openings, good animation, it doesn't needlessly drag out the story, doesn't really have any filler, most of the side characters are relevant to the overarching plot, has some funny moments, has a bunch of cool fights, it delves into more mature themes than the standard cookie-cutter shounen and it even has a pretty good english dub Yeah you can find another anime that has better animation or better music or more interesting and complex characters, but an anime that has "better everything" than FMAB? Yeah that's a bit harder to find

Very well put. A lot of other animes will put all their eggs in one basket, so to speak. Like, wow, fantastic animation! Great battles!

@@skinny8641 It's not laziness. It's the only way they could've done it to meet their deadline at all. Their deadlines are not set by the studio: they're set by the infamous Japanese production committee that values profits over anything else. With the close release of the ending of the AOT manga, they wanted to cash in the hype as soon as possible, and so they set the Winter 2020. WIT, the original studio of AOT, backed out immediately. They were already stretched incredibly thin and frustrated by season 3 and genuinely could not take it anymore. No other studio took it except MAPPA, who took on the nearly impossible task to create 16 episodes in less than 9 months. The Titans had to be CGI because there was no time to animate them in 2D. The character designers only had a week to create the main cast. Animators were pushed to work day and night to get something on the table. AOT Season 4 was done out of anything but laziness. If you want to call MAPPA disgusting, then call them out on their blatantly horrible work conditions and meager pay.

I mean can you tell me any shonen where a character describes choice feminism? And the story is very unpredictable and extremely creative. Hakari and his jackpot cursed technique is incredibly creative and his fight with Hashime feels like a chess match where they constantly counter each other's moves at a breakneck speed.

You can show Full Metal to anyone and they'd probably like it because its just so relatable and grounded.

FMA is my favorite because the story is overwhelmingly good. If I had to tell someone what FMA is about its basically the story of how people lost everything, went on a journey to find it, and at the end they realized they had what they were looking for the entire time. The show has a lot of subtle points about self reflection and fighting against your inner self to grow as a person--which is why the portal to truth room is a reflection of the person who enters. If you pay close attention, you'll notice that the people who enter the portal of truth and who gain the infinite knowledge of alchemy are often the ones who continue to hurt and suffer. It's an interesting point because despite having all the knowledge of alchemy at your finger tips you still can't stop the suffering. And that's a big point of the show and why Ed's relinquishing of alchemy was a really powerful moment. He had all the power and he gave it up so he could accept himself and his circumstances and move on with his life: which is something all the other characters, such as Teacher, were unable to do. It's overall a very good story that people should be exposed to because everyone is going to go through very difficult things in life. But if you're able to accept that those difficult things happened and you appreciate what you currently have then you're able to move forward and grow as a person--which is just one of the many powerful themes that FMA explores.

I guess if Joey is right and there was nothing really left behind in a literal sense, who cares? If you've ever earnestly tried to write a story you probably agree that inspiration comes from real life and the people that worked with him making Berserk surely have had some sort of influence on their collective work. To answer Garnt and his question of who would want to take on finishing Berserk; his friends, work associates, and people who shared the making of his dream would want to finish their collaborative masterpiece in his honor and memory. At least that's how I envision I might feel if I knew him personally. If feels like a horrible shame for such a prolific story to not get a bookend.

One of the very reasons I absolutely adore Naruto.

I get so nostalgic every time somebody makes a mention of naruto because the feels just come rushing in instantly. Kishimoto did a very good job for the most part with the way he developed characters and conveyed his messages through them which reached a lot of people and the anime did a very commendable job with the ost which further added to the vibe and made the nostalgia even stronger.

[@NineTnk]

It’s nostalgia isn’t it? Your weekly Naruto episode after school will makes you attach to the characters more, especially during their endless filler episode.

@CptnXplosion just now getting this notification lol. So it's just cuz so little is actually explained. The limitations are pretty bare minimum with transmutation circles and law of equivalent exchange, but we rarely see how characters learn from that and create workarounds or the struggle that must be to work with mid battle. The bigger issues, however, are that its described as a science more than just mysticism but there's very little actual exploration into it, and for some reason little sharing of knowledge. Abilities should actually be less unique because of that. Further, progression on alchemy and what causes it tends to be strangely opaque and occurs out of nowhere, when given how its described, it should occur through deliberate and careful study. And then there's the lack of worldbuilding driven by alchemy. Most of how alchemists interact with the world seems to be in battle, warfare, terrorism, when realistically there's should be hundreds of fields that are directed more so at civilian life. Let's take the hunters association in HxH for example, while yes most are combatants, they all have their own interests that delve outside of just combat.

Read the manga and watch the fight scenes on youtube

[@Lullabbbyyy]

@@gevgnek fr I just started watching one piece and I just dropped it I can't be bothered and just read the manga. Been reading more then watching

[@jackoplumkin6412]

@@Lullabbbyyy you can use one pace to watch some of the arcs. Especially wano arc

[@Lullabbbyyy]

@@jackoplumkin6412 yeah ik but now my brain is on reading mode, for fight scenes I will watch that part. Since I keep procrastinating for years to watch the anime, the amount of EP overwhelmed me

[@elvinr6207]

So true

[@wholehoarse]

I think as well it correlates with the fact that many animes are derived from manga so I agree that the first season off JJK is alright, but Shibuya definitely turns the whole feel of the show/manga around. Later on in the manga is up to opinion and I think it has many strengths and maybe a couple of weaknesses (ones that Gege Akutami points out actually if people read the little things in-between panels)

[@blackreaper378]

Jujutsu kaisen is my favorite manga that im currently reading weekly. It might not be everyone's favorite but it is better than mid, lol. The next season will be so much better than the first season, and even for those people who hate the show, hate te plot, the story...etc, i think it will be a 8/10, for those who love it will be an absolute 10/10. It is definitely not mid. But for what we have seen from season one i get why people say that( even tho for me it was not mid, lol).

[@unoriginalandunfunny1563]

I agree, after season two is fully animated anyone who still calls the show mid or generic is just lying at that point.

[@sethwood1676]

The first season is what made me read further in the manga. Its def not mid. It made me say I actually want to read the manga to see where the story and characters go. Which is the first manga I've read in over 10 years. I agree though first season I can see why people can feel it isn't great.

[@unoriginalandunfunny1563]

@@sethwood1676 for me episode 4, with Yuji being afraid to die and then Sukuna using a domain expansion for the first time that shit was so cool and heart wrenching that I read the whole ass series in one go. One of my top favorites. In my opinion, JJK is Hunter X Hunter without a "Chimera ant arc" it's good. It's really fuckin good. But not a masterpiece. Peak Shonen for sure tho

[@savagemonkey9016]

People don’t even know what mid is anymore

[@peacefulbystander847]

Purely for my own curiosity, how many other Shounen have you read? Because I feel that with anime like JJK and DS, a lot of the hype seems to come from people who are basically being introduced to anime by these shows. These are their first shounen anime, so for them the score is usually higher than it would be for someone who's read/watched more. Personally, I've read the manga and found the story and characters to be good but nothing I haven't seen before.

[@agostinocorradini9701]

I personally think that everyone can see it the way they want but as of right now having “someone” to continue, to carry on the massive amount of work done by Miura so that we all could see the finale the way Miura intended it it’s just the best thing for the manga and for all the work he has done, for everything he put into making without any doubt the best manga of all times. And as for that “someone” who is in fact K. Mori, who was there by Miura’s side when he planned the eclipse, who was his best friend since art school, who was like a brother to him, the only one he talked with about Berserk from start to finish it’s by far the best we could hope for along with the collaboration with Gaga studio, Miura’s “disciples” who worked with him and helped him getting through till it’s final days. Obviously we all have to keep in mind that it’s inevitable that the vision and the format we will get of the manga it’s not gonna correspond 100% to the unique style Miura had, having that in mind to me it’s so much disrespectful not to continue reading Berserk only because the direction HAD to change due to the obvious, so yeah it may not be 100% true to Miura style but I think that if he gave this enormous responsibility to the one he could trust the most so that everybody could see the end of his work just like the way he wanted, who are we to “disobey” the last will of the person who gave us that much? So I personally think that by continuing reading Berserk through the end it’s the best way of honoring and thanking him for what he gave us.

[@justv7536]

I loved Jujutsu Kaisen! Maybe I'm biased because I crave violence but Mappa seems to nail action in a way no other media ever has for me

[@siegfriedu]

They did continue the manga of berserk and im really happy they did, they ve done a done a great job so far

[@1Caja]

wholeheartedly agree!

[@notoriousyolkhound4600]

JJK being described as 'subvertive but still classic shonen' with the newfound knowlege of literally anything in the culling games is a crazy take

[@Mads97415]

Jack not liking Demon Slayer is a bit of a bummer because I really enjoy that show... It's interesting to hear him say its just "full of filler" because I disagree... Although I think what "filler" is to someone varies. Glad to hear that he loves JJK though! Even though his point seems to only be that all he seems to care about is the fights lol

[@leschroder7773]

Demon slayer had filler? Only thing I remember is the school stuff otherwise there was literally non existence filler

[@Hermesmaybe]

@@leschroder7773I don’t think jack meant filler as in not canon but the parts of a show that just feel like a slog to go theough

[@ashercorbin988]

JJK, 0% filler, 100% pain

[@jacobtrost5048]

I totally agree with what they're saying. I love a lot of older shows, but going back and watching them now after experiencing well-paced, well-animated modern anime is rough. Like, if JJK's episode next week came out and dedicated two and a half minutes to a shot-reverse-shot of two people glaring at each other across a battlefield while slow, drawn-out tension music played in the background, there would be riots.

[@M3N04]

I think I like a little slower paced animes Idk why it just get me in the mood more.

[@jacobtrost5048]

@@M3N04 I don't mind if the story itself is slowly paced, but I can't stand it when anime wastes time. Naruto had episodes where it legit felt like 80% of the episode was shot-reverse-shots of still frame characters interspersed with the same flashbacks OVER AND OVER. Like, Frieren is a slowly paced story, but it still doesn't waste a second of your time, and I love it

[@SackHeadKissy]
