Verses you liked but hate now

I remember really liking Dragon ball when i was younger, to the point it was my favorite anime (i had only watched naruto and dragon ball and some random episodes of random animes in animax at that point) , but then as i started watching new animes it just became rather stale for me, specially around GT where some dialogue was so predictable i actually went "wow,this is bad" internally. These days my father and i ran out of things to watch and found a DBZ era Broly movie going on and... my god, i knew they shouted a lot, but i didn't remember it being that bad ( i swear half the dialogue in that movie was back and forth shouting ). Still, not like i hate it now, but it's definitely a meh for me.

But one verse that fell down for me hard was Nanatsu no taizai, i liked the first season, and by the time we had the start of the 10 commandments arc and Ban and King's backstory and everything Escanor did it was the best ongoing shounen for me, like, it was the one manga i went out of my way to check for raws and spoilers and went around praising it to people. My enjoyment cooled down by the time we got full devil form evil meliodas, and by the last arc it just dragged on so much and i pretty much only kept reading it because of all the time i had already invested (and it was funny seeing the demon king return again and again in progressively more ridiculous forms).

Fairy tail also used to be something i really liked at first, but it's the verse who made me get tired of some annoying shounen tropes, like the main character is losing, but gets immense power boost by anger and one-shots the foe, brute forcing through stuff with little to no planning using power-ups outta nowhere,friendship discourse every chance, etc. I eventually dropped it and considered it the epitome of everything wrong with shounen, but funnily enough i eventually got back to it with much lower expectations in terms of battle planning, deeper meanings and non-cheesiness and managed to enjoy it again, (sure, i won't say it's great, but i still enjoy it)

I can so much relate to this specially the praising and raws stuff
 
I still love and always will Dragon ball, but I utterly despise the fanbase. Same goes for the MCU (ugh)

I also still love Naruto, but not as much as I use to when I was a kid. I had figures, read the manga, watched the anime, the movies, and had a lot of the games, which probably made me a bigger fan than anything else I named. (Clash of ninja 2 on the GameCube was the shit, and Storm 2 was One of the first games I had on the 360 back in 2010) When it comes to the anime and manga, My favorite arc was the pain arc. Then came the war arc build up and then the war itself. I honestly didn't really like the war arc.

It started to get a little exhausting and confusing to keep up with for me.
And Madara (one of my favorite characters in all of anime) got ****** over hard.

I didn't care for Kaguya and her people.

I kinda like Boruto
 
Although I wouldn't necessarily say that hate it, cause hate is a strong word, I would pick Naruto. Loved the series as a teen, but dropped off of it after the Pain arc, around vol. 49. The direction the story was going in just didn't interest me, and the writing seemed to be shoddier. I started reading again when the series was in the middle of the war arc (right when Naruto and Bee fight the resurrected Nagato and Itachi) and yeah, the whole final few arcs were a trainwreck. Read it to the end because it was a pretty, visual trainwreck, but still. Scale got too big too fast, power retcons, who the characters are fighting constantly changes, the final big bad coming out of nowhere, everything with Sasuke... Just lots of issues I had with it. Hadn't bothered getting into Boruto cause the little I've seen and heard of it, it seems to be even worse.
 
Other stuff that tend to start out great and eventually fall for me are most cultivation manhuas and isekais
Cultivation manhuas are usually extremely formulaic, and in the start you get to see the mc evolve really fast, pick up many new techniques, beat their bullies, defeat evil clans, make their poor family and weak clan stronger and richer, until they have to leave to a tougher place with stronger rivals and get opressed by another stronger clan, go back to being one of the weakest, and having to grind more, this over and over again and on a slower pace almost each time, because now it takes longer to level up. It's pretty much the reading equivalent of playing a grind based MMORPG.

Isekais are somewhat similar in the fact that most of the joy comes from seeing the character who started out weak grow stronger and beat the characters who once chased and humiliated them, but unlike manhua it generally doesn't take very long for the MC to get extremely powerful by their world standards, where only a handful of people can harm them, and most of said people are already their loyal allies or harem members.

I eventually stopped following and reading 95% of the isekais i read, except for the spider isekai and the dragon egg isekai and re:zero ( because the spider one actually interested me with it's plot other than the power fantasy aspect, the dragon one is fun with it's pokemon like evolutions and the lack of harem until now, and re:zero is actually well written and a breath of fresh air with the nearly powerless protagonist)
Manhuas i never dropped and still enjoy are Records of the mystic gardens, Tales of demons and gods and star martial god technique to a lesser degree
( Records of the mystic garden is really unique in terms of how the story flows, the power system and techniques innovate a lot, there are some really unexpected plot twists, the worldbuilding is pretty new and the artstyle is also pretty exotic.)
(Tales of demons and gods is similar to your usual manhua, but seeing Nie li get out of extremely terrible situations with just intellect experience and skill as opposed to pure luck is pretty satisfying. Also i like the characters and Long yuyin is my favorite love interest )
( Star martail god technique is generic, but the end of the first season was good and Lin hong is the best bro)
 
Also, this one is going to be pretty uncommon, because while i did enjoy Toriko from start to finish, my enjoyment for the food itself dropped to almost zero by the final arc.
Like, i used to watch the anime while eating, and when i saw all the food based monsters and ingredients the characters would eat, it made my mouth water.
Stuff like the century soup, the toriko burger, the medicinal mochi, blue blood corn popcorn and many more made me wish i could eat them so bad.
But then the final arc came, and the dishes and ingredients seemed to get a lot more grotesque, abstract and just plain not appetizing at all, like
PAIR wich was monkey ******** soup, wich came from inside this guy's testicles, and has the side effect of changing your gender
ATOM wich is literally toxic sludge who supposedly tastes really well
NEWS wich looks like a giant tentacle made of meat
and GOD wich is... a giant frog? like frogs aren't really bad, but i feel like the Ultimate ingredient of the series could have been something more creative tbh
 
Harry Potter used to be one of my favorite book and film series as a kid but now I kinda can't stand it. Even ignoring Rowling making an ass of herself seemingly everyday, the series has become such a soulless, bloated cash cow that exists just to make Rowling more money by pushing weird merchandise and has been stripped of almost all sense of charm the books originally had.

I found YOU!!!! So in bambina’s profile it says he lost to mori Jin (I made that match) and I have been looking for a toriko supporter, who do you thinks wins that match?

Mori Jin
While Monkey King knows enbu, a martial art that grants the user good cellular level body control ( it can allow the user to resist gravity, extreme precision by drawing out 100% of his physical capacity allowing him to do the monkey dance, dissipate shockwaves, stop something like Toriko's inifnite kugi punch, allow the user to survive minority zone's cell killing effect by changing the status of their cells) he doesn't really have that enough direct combat skill feats to contend with Jin Mori in CQC ( but should be able to avoid things like his acupunture and being knocked out with a shockwave that shakes the brain).

Not to mention Jin Mori can seal him with his gourd any time he wants (not really an opening move if he's trying to kill the opponent) and hit him with massive AOE lightning that disintegrates people comparable to him, he also has his cloning where he can easily make thousands of copies very easily and it's in character, also he has ridiculous amps who also remove pain, healing and can potentially copy enbu to some degree.

I just wish there were pages of some actual real humans.

Like Bruce Lee, Mike Tyson etc

We used t have a Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan page, but they just composited their movie feats and weren't about them as people.

With all the supernatural stuff on the wiki, it's easy to forget how ******* insane some people like Bruce Lee and Mike Tyson were. Lee was too fast for some cameras to properly track his strikes, nd Tyson's punches were calculated to have the equivalent force of a ******* bus.
