Ajinn's animation gives me cancer. Stopped at episode 2

Animation was shitty as hell, but the story wasn't garbage, reminded me a lot of Tokyo ghoul or maybe Parasyte.

I laughed at this harder than I should have.

OT: I think I judged Ajinn too soon. I watched episode 3 on a whim, and the story seemed interesting. Just need a blindfold to completely enjoy it.

No one's bitching. If you have a point to make, go for it, but stalker sales don't lie and neither does the fact that to KyoAni standards, it's the weakest of them all.

Same.

It's the same as the movies as far as I remember, so feel free to just watch those if you want to not wait.

Should probably stay on topic before this turns into another useless flame war where people take everything personal. Oh and once again, fuck number ratings.

Ansatsu Kyoushitsu dropped to a 3 simply because they've skipped so much and assuming they keep the manga ending....

Boku dake ga Inai Machi is floating around a 7 to 8. The car scene was really pathetic and the anime is skipping a lot of really cool manga scenes. However, the soundtrack, visuals, and just the symbolism of certain things in the series is amazing.

Dagashi Kashi drops to a 5. There isn't anything going on, and it's pretty boring. The 5 is carried because of Saya. Other than that, I wouldn't watch or recommend.

Dimension W is raising to a 7. The last few episodes were pretty good. The next one will determine if that holds true or goes back to a 6.

You're damn right, that shit was pathetic compared to the manga.

Boku: 4/10.
Aijin: Skipped
Phantom World: 3/10
KonoSuba: 7/10.(not that bad actually)
Ass-class: 2/10. I honestly hate this show.
Dimension W: 3/10. It's just not that interesting.


:/ this season was so dead.

People were hyping Erased but man.....it really didn't need to be hyped. That show cannot deliver what it promises.

[Hiroyuki]

That show cannot deliver what it promises.

Explain? Konosuba is mediocre at best, boku is much better is most all aspects....

I agree konosuba is mediocre.

Boku is better animated, has better character developement and all that but.......


It lacks the "cornerstone" to be good.

You see in shows like Erased the show needs a deciding factor to complete it, without that the show just crumbles.


1. Romance. Is the show about romance ala: Girl who leapt through time? Nope.
2. Thriller/mystery: Is the villain reveal worth it? Do we care about the villain? No, not really. It could be any random joe for all the show seems to care about it.
3. Time travel / metaphorical Is the time travel going to play a pivotal role in the show?(matrix or forced destiny) Nope. It just works whenever it's convenient for the plot. No rhyme or reason for any of it really. It's not the characters own ability it seems either.


So what the show lacks is actually quite simple: A reason to watch it.


A lot of people have told me that you need to watch erased for the character interactions. But why should I? The character interactions in erased are boring and they aren't a "realistic" type of boring either.

It's one of those shows that can't deliver on the romance, thriller, or metaphorical fronts so it just ends up being this hollow husk of an anime.


I find it quite rare that the show even got so much hype, but then again this season was dead so that might be the biggest factor.

[Takatsuki]

this season was dead so that might be the biggest factor.

I wan't to chime in since he's apparently banned.

Erased was an ok watch. It doesn't have much substance like you point out, and I actually don't think the ending is NTR anymore. I was stupid to think that. The one thing that I like about Erased is just the animation and how it uses certain angles or even colors to point things out. While they may be obvious to people looking for it, I wasn't one at first.

I hate YouTube reviewers, but this guy is actually pretty chill about what he does and for some reason stands out from the others I've seen.

1. Final episode should reveal the leading up romance between the characters.
2. I agree, it was so obvious it was the teacher that it made it less interesting, especially the scene when he gets in the car before he gets drowned.
3. I disagree with this, I feel like it played a nice factor in certain times like when the mother died and even though it it's "metaphorical" it still works with the plot. Granted they could have put a little more effort in the times he did it and maybe a little change but it still works. I feel like the stuff you're saying should be in the show would change the show around, I believe the way they have it made is exactly how they want it, if they wanted heavy romance influenced in, they would have it throughout the time traveling. If you're actually caught up with the anime, ep 11/12 should make a grand finish.
