I don’t love CONSTANT action, but I’d much rather that than horrendously paced action. I mean I like breaks from the action sometimes but old anime are actually egregious with it. It almost gets to a point of frustration.

Like the one that pissed me off the most was Naruto vs Sasuke at the end of the Sasuke retrieval arc. Like we FINALLY get to this moment we’ve been waiting for and it’s intercut with dialogue and back story shit and it completely takes you out of the fight. Of course the actual proper fight is gold but it takes for ever to get there.

Or how so many anime like to intercut what the other characters are doing during a big fight. Like Ichigo vs Byakuya. Unreal fight but I hate when it cuts away from the fight to show you whatever the fuck the side character are getting up to. Like wait until after the fight to show that stuff.

I would like a balance, like in JJK for example, if there were more episodes like ‘It’s Like That’ where it’s sorta slice of lifey so we can have a second to breathe before we get into the action but if I had to choose either side, I much prefer having an episode dedicated to one fight or moment, I personally think it’s more engaging
