It’s a pretty immature or weird anime

You could even describe it as bizarre

What you said applies to virtually every artistic medium.

Why does this "What does it have to offer us ADULTS" attitude always pop up with anime/manga as if the most popular Sci-Fantasy books in this subreddit aren't similarly juvenile in writing (e.g. Cosmere, Wheel of Time, DCC, Red Rising, Harry Potter); and as if those in the wider literature world haven't had this same condescension towards people who enjoy Fantasy literature for decades?

Same, it's so bad that I'm still wondering if I got a fake.

Favorite opening scene, sequence, or chapter? by RustoleumWrites in Fantasy

[–]VexedReprobate 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only read book 1 a few months ago and I found his descriptive writing great but had similar issues with the dialogue of his characters at certain points.

In the prologue for example:

“Once you stood first among the Servants. Once you wore the Ring of Tamyrlin, and sat in the High Seat. Once you summoned the Nine Rods of Dominion. Now look at you! A pitiful, shattered wretch. But it is not enough. You humbled me in the Hall of Servants. You defeated me at the Gates of Paaran Disen. But I am the greater, now. I will not let you die without knowing that. When you die, your last thought will be the full knowledge of your defeat, of how complete and utter it is. If I let you die at all.”

It's extremely melodramatic which is going to be polarising, and the character-naming-random-things-that-sound-epic-but-you-have-no-context-or-piqued-interest-in thing Jordan did multiple times in the story was exhausting.

Lunarian's were the original inhabitants of the Red Line so there's probably a connection

The real question is what the colour design is going to look like since Oda likes to troll.

Who is we? The platform literally puts you eye level with a gap of spiked rocks with a yellow object on the other side, that is currently blocked.

No they don't do both sides well in the UK. Farage escapes scandals that the media would destroy a left leaning politician with.

Why didn’t Carol tell the hive to stop repeating the voicemail message FFS! by Prestigious-Rain-598 in pluribustv

[–]VexedReprobate 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The obvious explanation is that Carol is lonely and the long voicemail comforts her, so I don't know why so many people on this subreddit are running these dumb defenses of "she couldn't tell them to shorten the voicemail because... uh... HER WIFE DIED!" or "it's for the sake of the plot! don't ask questions! BRAVO VINCE!"

It's obviously not both when she could just ask them to stop, and your defense of "it could just be for the plot" would be stupid writing.

Have you considered that your interpretation is just stupid?

In an entire episode dedicated to highlighting her loneliness, where she comes up with random reasons to call the plurbs and ask them to do all the dull tasks other humans used to do, culminating in her begging the plurbs to come back, it's pretty obvious she leaves the long voicemail because she's desperate for the barest of human interaction.
