The Seven Deadly Sins
| i really wanna like this show but the story is so awful. i like the characters, the art style and animation is fine, i even went ahead and caught up with most of the manga but my god its like the author has no direction at all. i made it to chapter 200 and im just left so confused 90% of the time |

Monish_Psycho100 said: Beruang said: Nah, the manga actually gets quite tedious down the line, it's like the author has no idea what they're doing. "Mangaka has no idea what he is doing" Damn I am legit laughing cuz mangaka knows what he is doing and where the plot is going but you don't know where it is going that's why it is unpredictable in the first place lol so it is giving constant suspense and the downhill thing I guess you didn't get those events and flashbacks It's obvious the mangaka doesn't know where to take the story, and if he does know then he's just a terrible author. Too much random acts and convenience happen, there's absolutely no suspense and it quite honestly bores me each week. If I hadn't invested so much time into it already, I would have dropped it at least a hundred chapters ago. |

64BitRatchet said: DatRandomDude said: This is the main reason not a lot of people are talking about it.You can thanks Netflix for that Seriously, the vast majority of the people in this thread are completely missing the point. It has almost nothing to do with the show’s quality. Most shows that are held hostage on Netflix while it’s airing in Japan have all their momentum taking out from under them. Sins had a totally fucked up airing schedule during the first season which made it very inaccessible to most normal folks. Despite what people may think, a lot of people aren’t interested and don’t like to pirate, so if a show isn’t coming in a timely manner on services we all know such as Crunchyroll/Funimation then it can really kill the hype. If Netflix simulcasted the show the situation would be a lot better since so many people have access to Netflix. Sins is still recovering from the first season’s airing schedule on Netflix, I mean it had an insane wait time, like more than usual for Netflix, and now we have to wait two season until we can watch the second season and that just kills the enthusiasm people have for it. Anime fans don’t want heavy delay casts. Honestly the fact that Sins still has a fairly decent following despite the terrible release schedule is kind of impressive. This show very well could be as big as My Hero, but it got in the wrong hands. Also there is virtually no marketing for it except for like a trailer on Netflix’s YouTube channel. If this was on CR or Funi on top of their level of marketing, this show would be a lot bigger. |

RubyP said: ImAWeebUwU said: yeah, sadly a shitty generic shounen has higher ratings than something more unique, but people have bad taste anyways xd It's funny, because you gave Fairy Tail a 9/10 and? better than bnha |
RubyP said: ImAWeebUwU said: and? better than bnha If you're making an argument, at least try to back it up. Fairy Tail is full of irrelevant and boring arcs, most of the characters aren't even characters, and the few good ones are barely developed. Furthermore, it seems this show constantly tries to ruin the mood; it goes from serious to "comedy" (which is awful and borderline annoying; char.X gets in a fight with char.Y, they destroy stuff around them and char.Z stops them. Yes, that's the majority of comedic scenes) and it ends up being full of fanservice, another annoying aspect of FT. Also, this show avoids killing off its characters at any cost, the only major death of the series was Igneel, someone we were supposed to care about even tho we met him like 3 episodes before his death. Makarov also died in the manga, but he was of course brought back to life with the power of friendship, destroying any kind of emotional stakes, and you end up feeling cheated. Speaking of friendship, the majority of fights in the series follow the same shitty formula; Villain group shows up, FT members split up to fight the villains one-on-one, the main characters end up finding the villains' boss, somehow Natsu is left to fight him alone, he starts gaining the upper hand, villain powers up, shitty and uninspiring friendship talk and Natsu powers up to defeat the bad guy. Not only is this a bad and lazy way to make fights, but with the minimum buildup and shitty power ups, you get bored of the concept, and you end up hating it. Moreover, despite all the hints and the waiting, no romance appears, not even in the ending. That's just bullshit. Lastly, some of the character designs were very clearly taken from other anime, Loki and Ichigo, Jellal and some other blue haired guy with a mark on his eye, it seems Hiro Mashima couldn't even be bothered with making unique character designs. However, I will give credit where credit is due, the music is unique and some of the fillers were pretty good (that is compared to the rest of Fairy Tail) and when I watched it I liked it alot. It was one of my first anime, but despite that, I can't rewatch it no matter what, because of all the flaws of the show. In conclusion, FT and MHA shouldn't be compared. MHA, so far (the anime), is way better than FT, and the writing is exceptional. The most recent arc of the manga had you cheering for both Deku and the Villain, and it was just 10 bloody chapters. there is nothing to bring up. bnha is a hot pile of garbage, there is nothing to add to that. i agree, i don't want to compare a decent show -fairy tail- to this shit, so lets stop. and lol, every point you brought up can be applied to bnha as well, doesn't kill off anyone, no romance, copies other shounens etc. |
| As long as it sells well I prefer it to be this way. Hype "usually" comes from people who makes you hate the show regardless of how good/bad it is.Take SAO for example. |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| No hype because there is nowhere to watch it legally at the moment. So the people who are against piracy have to wait until Netflix announces its release, assuming they picked up the second season. |

All the characters I used to like are getting bogged down in their subplots that drag on forever, the ban-Elaine just takes up so much time, to think Ban was my favorite character (and the initial flashback with Elaine was my favorite scene) and now I dread seeing him on screen because that means more dragged out Elaine shit. ... I know I'm a bit late to this thread. But the Ban-Elaine point is a big reason why I started to dislike this show and it's characters. This author is VERY bad when it comes to the topic of love. So bad in fact, that every single one of his characters, who are quite likable on their own, become annoying paired up with his/her better half. I like Elisabeth when she's not harassed by Meliodas, I like Ban when he isn't constantly clinging to Elaine, I like King whenever Diane is not nearby. I liked Gowther before his "finding love" shitshow, something everyone just accepted and moved on from without any consequences and I found Escanor cool until he revealed himself to be a Merlin fanboy. Every single relationship in this series destroys it's characters because everyone feels to be "forced to be in love with someone else". It's like they have no right to exist if they weren't in love. It seems extremely forced. Not to mention that the overall plot suffers greatly because of that too. The first season was really good, story, characters and the pacing was fine, but this second one (17 eps in) is boring, the plot is all over the place yet not going anywhere and the characters become more and more one-dimensional and replaceable the more we know about them. |
| Here's my 2 cents. I had been looking forward to this, loved the first season and waited for all episodes to be aired so I could binge,........ and for reasons ended up not doing that at all. I find myself pretty disinterested, started watching a few weeks ago and still am only halfway through the 2nd season. All of a sudden it's all about magic points, power scores and that kind of sh.. that never interested me in any series at any time to begin with. For some reason in this season the totally uncalled for but seemingly even more prominent sexual harrassment/groping of Elizabeth by Melodias doesn't even serve any comical purpose anymore and is just random and annoying.... or is it just me? Convenient plot armour, overcooked contrived drama and forced backgroundstories don't get me invested in the characters at all. The show has been reduced to, or has revealed itself to be just another shounen action series and for some reason was better at disguising itself as being something else in its first season or something like that? The genre is not my go to pleasure to begin with but as a comparison, I'm watching BNHA with my son, would never choose to watch it on my own but for some reason I find even that show more entertaining (despite the obvious tropes and flaws) and feel more invested in the characters than I do with SDS right now.... My opinion on the genre and BNHA is entirely my own, which doesn't mean I think anyone is at fault for liking it, that's just personal preference to me, just so to let you all know... ;) Perhaps I'm not the only one feeling this way about SDS right now and that's why not all that many people are talking all too enthousiastically about it? And maybe they are but it doesn't reach me because I'm hardly investing time in exploring more about it, that's quite possible as well of course...... |
| I mean, its nothing special, but unlike most people here I felt this season was superior to the first one. I just don't like the lazy writing and the way the author bogs down characters with unnecessary bs. But then again, that is a flaw carried over from the first season. |
| "...our faces marked by toil, by deceptions, by success, by love; our weary eyes looking still, looking always, looking anxiously for something out of life, that while it is expected is already gone – has passed unseen, in a sigh, in a flash – together with the youth, with the strength, with the romance of illusions.” - Joseph Conrad ('Youth') |
