Maybe it's because I've been watching anime since I was like 8 but to me the autmoshpere is like a haunted house with it's light on
Ooooooh, that makes sense. I was watching anime from a young age too but I was knee deep in cartoons. Maybe that's why are perceptions on cartoons are different.
which just ruins the world building in general, it's fine if they are just tipping it's toes in but if you being out class by a non horror show in actually spooky shit that's just sad. Also this feels like moving the goalposts at this point.
Hey, hey, Amphibia tries to be adventurous. Still, I'm willing to wait and see how TOH goes from here.
I'm gonna stop you right there, there is no world where you can tell me that what they did to Amity was ok, you can't go from alpha bitch bully to spill spegettin in 4 episodes. Also most episodes are better suited for a 10 minute formate but are 20 for some reason and it makes it feels like the show is dragging.
I don think Amity was meant to be the bully. Unlike with Boscha, Amity apologized to Luz and her friends for her behavior and stood up for them against...sorta. Actually, I think the episode format is fine. It's trying to show enough to make you think what's going to happen next while also not show much at all imo.
I mean some of them are good, then theres stuff like Gus who is just there to check a deversity quota.
.....That's kinda unfair to call. Gus could've been the token black kid but he stands out.
But I can't give a shit because she can leave at any time in the first season, Eda can just open a portal to earth. There are litterally no real stakes because she has a FTSIO button and doesn't have to risk her life if she really wanted to. You wanna know why most Isikis have the character trappen in the new demsion? Because it's hard to sypathize with a character who is putting themself in harms way for no good reason aside from "because I want to", I mean it can be done but pritty hard and rare. If Luz wanted to go home on top of wanter to become a witch for fun and maybe to prove someone wrong or whatever, now I'd actually care. A trampeeze act only gets intresting when they take away the net.
You do realized that she lost her chance to go home, right? Not to be rude, but Luz developed a friendship with Eda and King, she wasn't going to leave them hanging when the former was captured. She wants to become a witch first and I get what you're saying about her leaving but lemme ask you this: if you were a child and had the opportunity to explore a world that you've dreamed about would want to leave at the first chance?
Luz is a child with her fantastic ideas and crazy expectations. She does want to go home but at the same time she has desires. It's not like with Anne when she was thrust into the world of Amphibia by chance and has to find a way to get back home. Luz wants to stay so she can prove everyone wrong, that "I'm a weird girl and I can be myself without the world judging me", it's the first season. Let's see what happens.
Ryoko is best girl after all
True, but she's second behind Erza in my view.
That stuff is fine and all but you need to develop the character relationship first the plot can wait.
They kinda did with Luz and her friends and Eda.
Then why did the story feel like it was getting written episode by episode, they need a plan
They do have a plan. It's just that some want the the story thrown at them the first chance they get so they can know what to expect but me, I'm patient. I know how to play the waiting game when comes to shows like these.
I only enjoy that part of the show ironically, still can't believe they made genocide a good thing.
I have a headcanon that magic isn't gone. Rather it'll get reincarnated, so we can see the magical creatures return at some point. And tbh, I didn't like MHC
