Arkenis is the kind of guy that would complet 100% of all achievement in a game just to call it mid in twitter and when people ask him about it he will just screenshot the achievements saying "I know what I'm talking about. What about you?"

I mean I must respect the dedication and all

but he has demon slayer as the best new gen (don't know if its a joke on his end but considering his tastes? I just don't) so no respect

moment I saw Demon Slayer in Arkenis' top five new shit I knew he only posted bait on this thread

 

[Arkenis]

dude I am telling you he got no taste, he likes his chiken with zero seasonings and pasta with no souce the man has the taste buds of a 70 year old american white woman.

I got no taste because I don't like Frieren?

Some of my favorite series: Bleach, Naruto, Code Geass, Fire Force, Tokyo Ghoul, Jojo's part 2-8 except 6, Undead Unluck, Dai Dark, Berserk, Claymore, Vanitas no Shuki, Hxh, Jagaaaaaan, KNY, Black Clover.

Never cared for achievements.

 

[Sakamaki_Fuji]

oh dude this place will be no different the 2023 brain rot at it again, the literacy levels will fall to levels never before seen we are going to the Paleolithic with these chapters.

I'm literally gonna have to log off for 2 weeks to save my peace

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Never cared for achievements

I said the "kind"

Youre just the manga version

except 6

You'll shall die

 

[azontr]

I will kill Gege Akutami myself.

 

[CloverDragon03]

U didn't even read. I said to an extent
Mf's nowadays tweak when people say JJK top 10. See how much copies it sold far faster than One Piss even did IN just a year. Especially in a week. Shit made 1m copies and others didn't even come close to this figure IN a week.

And then we have polls saying JJK is #1 show and all that. Celebrities and the like making references to it left and right. Minecraft even making one too. You can't deny the fact that all this popularity and appreciation of the work is a clear indicator of the quality of JJK.
It's very clear dude. If it is that popular then there's quite of a good reason for it. Let's not deny this.
And I'm not saying it's a 1:1 type of thing here (Popularity and quality). But it does spell out the quality. Anybody here saying otherwise like Arkenis is just straight up gaslighting themselves with hypnosis ASMR 24h video on how to hate JJK

"You can't deny the fact that all this popularity and appreciation of the work is a clear indicator of the quality of JJK"

I can, actually. People do so with Pokémon all the time, for instance, despite it being the multimedia juggernaut that is. Literally the highest grossing franchise in the world btw

I like how you tried to beef up your taste with actual good choices and then snuck in some of the most vanilla tastless stuff ya can think of in there (Black clover is ok but KNY is utter tripe)

 

[Arkenis]

This doesn't make sense. You're focusing on one series you don't like and calling my taste bad when the rest you like? That sounds like good taste.

Also what's vanilla in there?

 

[Sir_sun_man]

This doesn't make sense. You're focusing on one series you don't like and calling my taste bad when the rest you like? That sounds like good taste.

dude half your series you have a main stream and a chunk of it is just tastless like KNY that is a mixed taste at best

Also what's vanilla in there?

Oh I don't know what is vanilla about the two series that personify the power of friendship and plot convince? oh I know maybe the fact that those are literally manga shonen stereotypes that usually only serve as an entry into manga proper.

I dont get the hate for vanilla
good vanilla is literally stands there as a brick to measure good fictions

 

[Arkenis]

What is the issue with main stream? Most main stream series are good stories?? You just sound like a main stream hater lmao. What animes do you even like?

Oh I don't know what is vanilla about the two series that personify the power of friendship and plot convince? oh I know maybe the fact that those are literally manga shonen stereotypes that usually only serve as an entry into manga proper.

What??? You just sound like you hate shonen.

 

[BadSystems]

Taste is subjective methinks

A fiction most important is the story instead of plot no?

 

[CloverDragon03]

There's a reason why tropes are a thing...

Because people like them

 

[eibwen]

thats an entirely different topic
like them or not, its about execution

 

[SeijiSetto]

Taste is subjective methinks

extremely false
liking what i like = good
disliking what i like = bad

 

[Sir_sun_man]

I dont get the hate for vanilla

true but KYN is not a good example of that its story is 60% plot convinence and 35% flashbacks thats why I said stereotype specficially it doesn't even feel like shonen 90% of the time and more like a parody of one.

 

[LIFE_OF_KING]

Good times when I was a Kimetsu fan and argued that Muzan could solos Goku SSJB

I don't even know what to say to that.

What about 50% of anime fight and 100% of character lock tf in in battles (something certain character in jjk dont have)

 

[Sir_sun_man]

I don't get the question? (grammar is throwing me off)

The most typical critique of KNY. Sorry Gotouge knows how to expand his story and give us history for the characters. And what was a plot convenience?

 

[Dr._whiteee]

Cold take: KnY is hot garbage.

 

[BadSystems]

TALK YOUR SHIT DR. WHITE!!!

 

[Sir_sun_man]

The most typical critique of KNY. Sorry Gotouge knows how to expand his story and give us history for the characters.

giving a mopey backstory to every second goon you fight isn't exactly great history when world building is lacking.

what are demon slayer marks

how do different styles of breathing actually work and what creates that difference?

what is the transparent world and how do you attain it

Why and how did the spider Lilly come to be and turn people into demons?

What the **** is the whole deal with yoriichi?

how come some people have the ability to consume demon flesh and get those abilities?



No honestly instead of 10 trillion flash backs just a basic explanation on half this shit would be appreciated but no lets give hands man and mud boy a backstory cuse we really need those

And what was a plot convenience?

demon slayer marks

transparent world

the 20 or so last second hashira interference

the final villain being hit with the never before seen age super drug that will weaken him when needed

the sudden intro of selfless state

Sun breathing in general

oh and the constant new out the wazzoo abilities of breathing not established at all previously (oh you're half dead? just breath better scrub)

 

[Sir_sun_man]

but again then whole critique for the most vanilla of vanilla shows is a lot larger than simply this want a more thorought look at it here it is

 

[Sir_sun_man]

now for good vanilla Black clover, the world building is solid (not great but definitly not as awful as demon slayer), the abilities are well established and explained and the sudden power boosts are actually built up and make sense

Black clover = good shonen vanilla
KNY= bad shonen vanilla.

 

[Sakamaki_Fuji]

I like Kny

 

[Sir_sun_man]

I like Kny

I know taste is subjective and all but...

shame on you.

 

[Giannysmag]

Yall have been talking about anime takes and I'm sitting here realising how few animanga I've actually watched/ read start to finish

• Dragonball Super
• Naruto
• Jojo's parts 1-4
• Assassination Classroom
• JJK
• Spy x Family
• Chainsaw Man
• Record of Ragnarok
• Sakamoto Days

Out of these i'd say CSM part 1, Jojo's part 2, Record of Ragnarok and Assassination Classroom are my favourite

Some of this is literally explained. The marks are simply just demon marks that appear for slayers when their heart rate goes up to a certain and they're in a life or death situation. Sure the exact origins aren't known, but so what? Yoriichi was born with it and ended up passing it on throughout his life.

Obtaining TP is literally explained in chapter 151.

Styles are explained as well, you just have to reread if you forgot. And still this stuff doesn't have to be explained at all just like in JJK. Do we know the origins of Black Flash or how the Six Eyes came to manifest in the Gojo clan?

It deadass just seems like you didn't pay attention or forgot all the explanations in KNY for its concepts. Reread the series.

read:
Baki (weird but ******* great trust me)
Helck (suprisingly good)
Vegabond (A MUST READ)
Berserk (same as vegabond)
Fist of the northstar (grandpappy of shonen)
Kengan (think baki but less insane (still insane tho))
Dungeon meshi (recent popularity spike is there for a reason its a good show and manga)

Jjk mfs love to argue about random bullshit

All this yapping in the discussion thread yet zero CRTs passed. Curious

 

[Sir_sun_man]

Some of this is literally explained.

none of it was

The marks are simply just demon marks that appear for slayers when their heart rate goes up to a certain and they're in a life or death situation.

That is not an explonation, why do they apear from that specifically, what the **** are they? why does this "innate power" come in a form of a specialized mark? what is it in the first place? any answeres for that? NO.

Sure the exact origins aren't known, but so what? Yoriichi was born with it and ended up passing it on throughout his life.

So 0 explonation got it.

Obtaining TP is literally explained in chapter 151.

its explained in an increadibly contrived way that doesn't actually explain shit, you are just able to see through people just cuse a sixth sense of sixth senses, compered to basic muscle memory and concentration that doesn't explain its effects at all.

Styles are explained as well, you just have to reread if you forgot. And still this stuff doesn't have to be explained at all just like in JJK. Do we know the origins of Black Flash or how the Six Eyes came to manifest in the Gojo clan?

they are explained in what combos or deviations of different styles, we've got some basic explonations of base styles but everything else was just "oh well its combo of X and X" or "Oh well its derived from X" there is 0 explonations on how they are achived or why they are so drastically different.

It deadass just seems like you didn't pay attention or forgot all the explanations in KNY for its concepts. Reread the series.

and I deadass think you just like the most basic drivel my good man.
