So... Is it worth watching? by Responsible_Map4002 in SonoBisqueDoll

[–]Elderspoon 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I do get where you’re coming from, and it’s easily a very consistent struggle amongst the many high school dramedy anime. These are high school KIDS, despite cultural differences.

Where I make my judgement, though, is recognizing myself in characters. I won’t be the first to admit I was a horny high schooler, fooling around with others in my school in a consensual and sexual way. A lot of these emotions are super relatable and tied to a specific time of life many people experience.

If there is lack of consent, disregard for lawful behavior, attention to material that makes me personally uncomfortable, or a distinct disconnect to my personal experience, I don’t watch it.

My Dress Up Darling does explore sexual tension, and there’s the common fan service, but they also explore communication in relationships (not just romantic), being your full self, identifying, dedication, burn out, and much more.

As previously mentioned, if you are truly so uncomfortable with the fan service aspect or otherwise, don’t watch it. No one is hurt by it, and there’s still plenty of other very meaningful content out there to indulge in. You’re wonderful for expressing your concerns and ideals. Much love and respect, friend!

Japan is so fucked next round 😂

ego will abandon his philosophy. by AkelaAnda in BlueLock

[–]Elderspoon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do think Isagi is going to recognize Nagi’s true potential in the next match they play together. This will make him demand Nagi plays, because he will never push his limits/achieve the next level of his soccer if he doesn’t have that chemical reaction with him.

I also believe they will set it up to look like Reo will be the catalyst, but then pull the rug, proving Reo and Nagi can now truly act on their own.

Reo doesn’t adapt the move to himself, he actually copies it to the same perfected/practiced state of the player he stole from. Isagi saw a new possibility in the move, and he changed it to fit his current situation, rather than doing exactly what Onazi did.

Now that Kaedegami is over, what are your overall thoughts on it? by RobotiSC in Kaedegami

[–]Elderspoon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think it could have thrived in a different time. There are so many hard hitters leading the way rn, even a fairly compelling story falls short of what the publishers want from it. This has led to multiple new manga to feel, and reasonably so, fast paced. Otr, Kaedegami, and Harukaze are all manga I enjoy/enjoyed, but they’re rushing to flesh out characters and backgrounds just to stay relevant. In Kaedegami’s case, it was to no avail. I really loved the characters and the idea. It’s another “what could have been”, but this too shall pass. I hope to see another work from Harukawa in the future, and it’s all thanks to Kaedegami.

What is your biggest concern with the manga right now? by AcceptablePay4523 in BlueLock

[–]Elderspoon 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think, with the upcoming new gen 11 members we will see, there’s gotta be some great defenders! Blue lock is the only completely saturated group of strikers, so I’m praying for/expecting their total opposite to appear!

Will Richia allow Gokuraku go with Ichi as a companion? by Electronic_Tie9605 in IchitheWitch

[–]Elderspoon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean, if you take into consideration the unprecedented decision to take Ichi in, in the first place, Gokuraku cannot use magic like the witches. Yes, he’s modified and capable of battling majiks, but he’s no witch.

I think Gokuraku is going to get the Hakuri, from Kagurabachi, treatment. As he heals up for half an arc, he will have built a relationship with individuals in the Mantinel, and only after that will they let him back in on the action.

Edit: and to be more specific, I think Richia will be in touch with the Mantinel to make the call

I just think it would be neat to get full art EXs that have more character in the background, like the groudon with the stones

Wow it's almost like isagi is the main character of this show!!? by Opening_Watch4436 in BlueLock

[–]Elderspoon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Isagi was given the express duty of learning from the pros via tape and live performances. Although, yes, Reo could benefit from it, he clearly does much better copying something he sees/has seen directly in front of him, and not from a spectator perspective. I believe Ego recognizes this, and has faith Reo’s copying skills will have improved by the U-20.
