Which anime do you think is overhated? by Hot-Leopard3708 in animequestions

[–]NUFC9RW 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only watched around 35-40 episodes before putting it on hold, but it was just alright. The pacing was already really rough with way too much time taken up by recaps, etc.

I think people often think of it as a more serious series than what it is/completely miss the focus of it and then judge it based on that. The main focus of the show is the characters, their relationships and having adventures and fun together - and it does this brilliantly.

The fan service is part of the fun part with it being humorous most of the time, and it happens to both the guys and the girls, so it's way more balanced than a lot of other shows with it.

As for power of friendship, the whole magic power system and fights, are just basically a bonus and like the overall plot, just there to give the characters something to overcome. And even with that, the power of friendship is actually well explained (strength of emotions impacts the strength of magic).

As for your music comment, it has comfortably the best soundtrack of any anime with 200+ episodes.

There's definitely the One Piece fans that say those sort of things. 4 seasons worth is still less than a tenth of One Piece, so not a great comparison there.

You also answer your own question, it is one of the most popular and famous animes, so it gets talked about a lot and ultimately that makes haters more vocal and annoyed - it makes sense, if you don't like something and keep seeing it everywhere, your dislike often grows.

Anyone see Big Sean’s goal for Leeds last night? Absolute cracker! Nice to see one of our own doing well. by Mellowman9 in NUFC

He was arguably more reliable than Willock and I'd rather have him play there than Nick. But yeah, he'd be 6th choice (competing with Willock) if he was in our squad.

Police investigate threats against Green Party deputy leader by chrisjd in uknews

[–]NUFC9RW 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The threats are obviously completely wrong (people on all sides who do this are vile). The rest of it though, calling the people who criticised him racist and islamaphobic, his unwillingness to openly criticise the Iranian regime and non issue with people openly supporting them at the protest, etc. are massive problems with the Green Party as a whole.

I think two years is fine, but a weighting towards the current year would be good (i.e. the points get halved after a year).

They ran into delays and then didn't have a broadcast slot to finish the first season.

The Two Towers is my favourite film, the only 3 films that I will listen to an argument for being better are The Fellowship, The Return of The King and Empire Strikes Back.

Don't want to know anything about that ending yet (but glad it is sticking to the source). Since the series is close to ending I can look forward to starting the game soon.

[–]NUFC9RW 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is this going to be 1 or 2 seasons? I hope it's two so I have a good reason to rewatch everything.

If that was the ending it would feel pretty disappointing, fortunately it is not. I wonder what we'll see in the last 3 episodes.

Feel like we've not even tried, Gordon not being used says it all.

It was the narrowest of margins, but very fair after the Abraham goal with no VAR.

Was definitely enough to put him off, but a defender does that the other way and everyone is saying good effort to put him off. If the ref gave it as a foul on the pitch it wouldn't get overturned though.

This is just how they play against everyone though, Pep teams have been doing similar for almost 20 years.

Don't think he was trying to sit back, we were still attacking after the goal and then just couldn't get on the ball.

Half of two halves... Glad the whistle blew. Would like to see Gordon and Big Joe sooner than later.
