I watch them too, at least the first few episodes, but the last one I watched I had to alt-F4 mid-episode.

"I don't want slaves, but that poor super-sexy girl slave will definitely get bullied if I don't take on the responsibility of being her master. And she can't just be free because she has a slave crest tattooed on her ass cheek for everyone to see."

Biggest eyeroll ever.

Is that the one with eftal? Uhhh... From under-something to overpowered?

[-] blx@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah that's the one. The first episodes were okay-ish if I'm being generous, but I just couldn't continue after that scene.

[-] forkDestroyer@infosec.pub 3 points 1 month ago

Yeah, the trope was enough to kinda knock me out of it. I might watch another episode but I'm not really as excited about it as I was before.

If I'm not mistaken, I'm 3 seasons behind. Will be a while before I get to taste the five stars cringe.

I think this one is a brand new release, at least on Crunchyroll. Yours must be a different one. Hopefully you won't have to go through that much cringe!

Oh, I should have word it more clearly. I watch things season by season and currently mid way through fall 2025. 3 behind current season.

Oh gotcha! It's a good strategy if you don't want to get a single weekly episode!

Rising of the shield master or whatever?

[-] blx@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

Not that one, but IMO Shield Hero went from mid to terrible over the seasons. I haven't even bothered with the latest ones.

I totally stopped having standards, i watch every isekai slop everytime, i treat them as fillers meanwhile i wait for the good ones

Konosuba is my religion lol

I really don't like isekais that much, so it's rare when one gets my attention. Most recent one to do so would be DR. STONE (does that count?), otherwise Log Horizon.

Even very popular ones like Re:Zero don't interest me. To me, most of these shows have the same tropes, and same main character personalities, which makes them all feel the same.

[-] blx@piefed.zip 3 points 1 month ago

I watch a lot of them, and I agree with you. I find that some have decent characters, but most are terribly bland. Re-Zero has a decent setting but one of the worst main characters IMO. Someone mentioned slop and that's really how it feels.

japanese independent film generally has strong, independent woman protagonists. anime fans looking down on anyone is kinda boneheaded when it's japanese entertainment for 16-21 year old incels.

the fact that it's the only japanese culture besides samurais, sumo and manga that america even knows about tells you everything you need to know about america.
