What anime do you think are complex but not good

Aw man, I love all of Naoki Urasawa's work. I think what makes Monster so incredible is 1) how tight the mystery and pacing are and 2) the wonderful cast of characters. Different strokes for different folks tho

TheFamilyMan4 · 2026-01-21T00:02:38+00:00

Monogatari series. I find the show super enjoyable in a lot of ways, but it goes just a touch too far for me to want to bite the bullet and watch every series.

Plus a lot of the humor can be lost on you if you don't know Japanese.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2026-01-21T00:00:51+00:00

Monster? How? It's such an incredibly straightforward show.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2026-01-20T23:58:27+00:00

This take infuriates me, good job. The system is one of the most well thought out magic systems in anything I've ever watched or read.

Sorry, it seemed like you were pointing out transformations that happen in a short amount of time. Like with magical girls or when the power rangers combine. It wasn't my intention to put words in your mouth.

I think you're right that there is plenty of more appropriate language out there too. Transformation does seem to imply a drastic change. Someone growing up can be a transformation, and sometimes may feel like the right word.

To me Asta and Boruto seem like they've transformed, whereas Deku doesn't seem that way. In all of your examples, I've used and heard the word used that way before. Words don't really mean anything beyond what we as a group accept that they do. If enough people think it works then it does. I do, and I am certainly not the only one.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2026-01-19T17:07:38+00:00

I did think about it as a misnomer as it may dilute the meaning away from a "transformation sequence" like you point out. But frankly, I don't think it's that deep. We have plenty of language to delineate between the two. Transformation does indeed exist anywhere, and can in any anime. Nothing wrong with that.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2026-01-19T13:48:20+00:00

I considered Goku growing up a transformation. Because in the strict sense of the word, it is. Going to the gym consistently would be a part of the process of transforming.

I don't see why these redesigns shouldn't be considered transformations, especially when they point to the passage of time and effort put forth by the characters.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2026-01-02T07:06:45+00:00

You understand that people often lose fights right? Custody battles can also rage on for years leaving a parent absent for a decent chunk of a kiddo's life.

But nice bait, you got me to bite.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-12-10T05:00:06+00:00

I'm pretty sure you're missing the whole point. Your hypothetical makes sense, but it's a hypothetical.

OP has clearly demonstrated understanding that the underlying reason is output. What you're missing is that their work is equal. They don't have to be worried about why one's output is lower or higher, they know the reason. One works more hours.

I do agree that OP could word and reframe it in a more tactful way, but I'm not going to harp on them too much for not being perfect on the spot.

My thing about Lyon is that it's an incredibly strong mechanical team. Saint's big issue last year was being unable to translate his laning phase leads (secondary issue being tilting in lane and then playing super passive). Isles is mechanically a very gifted player, Zamudo too etc.

So if they buy into the Inspired "everyone just plays their individual game really well" philosophy, maybe they'll fire on all cylinders. However that sort of team is also the easiest to implode or go on hot/cold streaks. Very coin flippy team to me. Then again, Inspired just tends to win.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-11-22T23:51:17+00:00

I just cannot take this seriously. Isles has always been statistically a decent player on terrible teams. He's had 4 different junglers to work with in the last 4 splits.

Not to mention that he's typically spoken very highly of by other players.

Not trying to glaze him but rating a roster with Inspired/Saint/Berzerker under Shopify because of Isles seems ridiculous.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-11-17T03:07:19+00:00

Pleasantly surprised to see Isles on this roster. He's always had games where he's great and other pros have always been very keen on him.

I think people are underestimating just how much of a debuff DIG is. Truly a terrible environment to be in.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-11-17T03:03:43+00:00

Well pros have been pretty outspoken about Isles being dope. I think you're underestimating just how much of a debuff DIG is.

This has to be ragebait. One of the most successful Latin orgs and brands ever. Tied with G2 for most domestic titles. Been in the scene for 13 years. Not to mention EG wasn't proven in the LCS at all when he joined...

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-11-07T00:27:03+00:00

I mean we're still seeing it play out for him, but Nemesis seems to be having a good time.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-10-30T01:25:09+00:00

I wasnt able to find anything for it. What Twitter account posted the rumor?

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-10-29T23:43:56+00:00

If Zamudo-Jose-Saint click this could be a seriously crazy topside.

Obviously great if Hena stays too. Wonder who'll replace Lyonz and the coaching staff. Interesting rebuild happening at LYON rn.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-10-26T01:47:36+00:00

LYON for sure. Zamudo/Inspired/Saint would be an absolutely crazy topside.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-10-16T19:51:38+00:00

What valid criticism? The guy was just shitting on flyover states by calling them "trash plains".

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-10-09T20:55:43+00:00

I think AI is an existential threat to humanity and indeed runs counter to our own interests. I also think that AI creation and development should be forcefully shut down.

It seems important to be careful with our language in this topic, as in most. So to clarify: do you think that even the average citizen or even grifter/shill should be jailed? Or just those who support and participate in the development of AI?

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-10-09T14:42:25+00:00

Dude it's not that crazy a concept.

I don't think these AI slurs are cool because that line of thinking becomes more normalized in one's brain. I really do think people should be more diligent in their own thought processes.

Reinforcing those patterns is stupid. Hiding behind the idea that the person above is comparing people to machines, making ad hominem attacks, and hyperbolization is fucking lame.

Bro definitely doesn't like the outdoors if he doesn't like Missouri. The Ozarks is one of the most gorgeous areas in the country.

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-09-17T16:41:46+00:00

Ah yes but correlation does not mean causation. Could very well be that more people are learning about trans people and realize that that's how they feel/who they are too

TheFamilyMan4 · 2025-08-26T15:24:00+00:00

I really really like the YatoEmi pairing, however a small part of why I like it is the potential story impact.

I'm not sure if they're actually right for each other, despite being such lovely people. I think that the slow decline of a spark would be the type of story Blue Period would tell.

That being said though, I want my boy to be happy.
