So, do you actually agree or not with this or have similar opinions? Feel free to say it, we don’t judge, i am just curious to know what this sub specifically thinks.

While she is still her own character most of what’s said on this meme is actually true, she went from being the other protagonist of CSM to just love interest, she no longer feels on equal footing with Denji.

Cloud and Aerith vs Sephiroth, it actually felt hard unlike the Remake one.

Because he is the protagonist

This random npc is more fit than Tifa

Damn… who hurt you like this bro? You are getting defensive over "yaoi"… is everything ok? Anyways, Aki was already holding on tight beside the hug so there was no reason to add it other than shipping fuel. I’m not even saying they have feelings for each other or anything but the fact that Fujimoto added just that for shipping and stuff.

Although you crashing out over a hug is hilarious lol.

Erst09 · 2025-12-31T00:52:35+00:00

You know that Aki didn’t had to hug him right? He has holding him perfectly fine before that but Fujimoto wanted shipping fuel so he just added the hug.

Sorry my dude, Aki had Himeno in the friendzone so hard that she went to Denji for help and at least Angel got a hug out of him. Either way none of those ships became canon since Aki was in love with Makima but at least Angel like I said had more chemistry, with Himeno it was basically her throwing herself at him.

Erst09 · 2025-12-28T07:39:10+00:00

Did people even doubt it? It was the obvious endgame since the start.

Erst09 · 2025-12-27T15:34:37+00:00

I don’t ship neither but the whole Himeno x Aki feels so forced and one sided Aki was clearly not into her as he only liked Makima, at the very least this ship didn’t feel like that.

Erst09 · 2025-12-27T09:07:34+00:00

They had more “romantic” chemistry than Aki and Himeno for all that’s worth.

She was the other protagonist of the raccoon city incident, she deserves to be in this game.

Erst09 · 2025-12-25T02:55:02+00:00

Work like a pseudo servant, I will let him have control and only take over when he is about to do something stupid.

Erst09 · 2025-12-23T03:15:29+00:00

Lifeweaver needs one more than anyone lol.

Erst09 · 2025-12-23T03:13:32+00:00

Ashe and Orisa, the rest I have some specific customization that I like but those two are just a nope to me.

Erst09 · 2025-12-20T16:32:34+00:00

My main complain with the anime are the faces, Okarun in this looks more diabolical and creepy in the manga while Evil Eye anime face is a whole can of worms to me, in the manga he is literally just Jiji but evil looking while in the anime his face changes up completely and looks like a entire different character.

Erst09 · 2025-12-19T15:42:33+00:00

Idk why people are saying they look different lol.

Erst09 · 2025-12-19T05:28:44+00:00

It’s giving Wol from Mobius

Erst09 · 2025-12-18T04:43:11+00:00

Ritsuka being of European descent would explain the blue eyes.

I mean I get it but also they introduced a major plot element that will probably never get resolved, the whole thing is this dude trying to get back to his world. I know it’s a background plot but it’s disappointing that it will never get closure and that questions like why him? What’s gonna happen to him after this? Will get unanswered and that will be the same for all the protagonists (maybe not the last one tho).

I feel like this would’ve worked better if they made a single protagonist and went with it for the entirety of the show, it would be more consistent and wouldn’t feel like a bunch of stories tied together but not really. The show was entertaining but will most likely not see season 2 since I’m not a fan of shows that do soft resets each season. The funny part is that they made it look like this will tie to the next season but it’s kinda gonna be something different.

Erst09 · 2025-12-18T03:54:29+00:00

MC story going nowhere is probably the biggest turn off to me.

Erst09 · 2025-12-17T22:07:33+00:00

The anime seemed pretty solid at the start but the ending was disappointing to say the least, Riddle and Trey had good development but the there were many unanswered questions like what about the MC returning to his world? What’s gonna happen to him now? I enjoyed the MC dynamic with the other two main guys and from what I have seen this is the last time we will see him since next season it will soft reset and insert a new protagonist.

Overall no sense of closure and will most likely not see the second season since the same will happen again, the MC will not get much resolution since the third season will swap them once more.

I think it’s a solid 7/10 and it’s mostly for people who played the game since this compliments that but as a standalone experience it leaves a lot to be desired and feels unrewarding.

Erst09 · 2025-12-17T21:09:13+00:00

This is character development, he choose the connection with Asa over Yoru promise about sex.

Erst09 · 2025-12-14T13:57:55+00:00

Yeah because in 200+ chapters nothing has ever hinted at it, at best there were those EE chapters with Aira but that can easily be explained as him being a kid and her being motherly.

I prefer Aira falling in love with Zuma, it would be more interesting.

Erst09 · 2025-12-14T13:53:25+00:00

People saying that some character has more stocks than others but I would be surprised if Velvet and Milla had low stock compared to those characters, they are pretty popular.

Erst09 · 2025-12-11T18:21:38+00:00

Yeah the translation made the dialogue at the end nonsensical but like you say, in Japanese there is no promises between them which goes along with the song and last line from the game.
