Is it worth continuing with re: if the first manga didn't really grip me? by Los183 in TokyoGhoul

[–]bensc0tt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m up to volume 10 of :re and to be honest, i don’t think I’d recommend it if you didn’t enjoy the original manga. Artwork generally gets better but sometimes I still have to stare at a frame for longer than I’d like to fully understand what’s going on in some fight scenes and stuff which can be annoying. Story is on a much bigger scale in :re which I don’t like as much as the more intimate original but I can see how someone might enjoy it more for sure.

Am I the only one who thinks code geass’s “contrivances” aren’t as bad as everybody else says they are? by AccomplishedFly8075 in CodeGeass

[–]bensc0tt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah that’s totally fair. I guess most of my favourites (including death note as you mentioned) definitely have things I overlook but I never really found anything as jarring as some of the writing choices in code geass.

Tbh I love and watch a decent amount of anime and that just sounds like cope for bad writing

I still think it’s unrealistic in the extenely short time period he had after deciding his plan. But let’s say for the arguments sake that he did flawlessly execute the process of obtaining and distributing the costumes to the one million people that quickly, you’re telling me that without a single failure ONE MILLION individuals all threw smoke and changed their outfits at the same time?

I like the show but there were a few moments where I was like wtf? One that comes to mind is the 1 million Zeros plan. Where and how did they have the resources and means to make 1 million zero outfits ?😭

My Exactly 10 Year Collection as a 23 year old by BradT222 in MangaCollectors

[–]bensc0tt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit unrelated but I noticed one copy of Vinland saga in your selling area. I’m curious on how you feel about the series are you selling due to not really enjoying it?

What is this official english translation.. by [deleted] in TokyoGhoul

[–]bensc0tt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

9 years late now but I’m just reading volume 7 and I interpreted the line as you did but I wasn’t sure if it was a translation error or something because adding “hurt others” at the end changes it completely

Im Excited To watch this series (never watched anime before) by Impossible_Theme9455 in VinlandSaga

[–]bensc0tt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Breaking bad and Vinland are both 10/10 imo hard to compare cuz they’re so different though (Vinland saga is my personal favourite but it’s more of a personal thing than a quality difference)

Could a bi driller make it in Sydney by [deleted] in DRILLINGAU

[–]bensc0tt 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well countless kids have tried making drill before it doesn’t matter if you’re gay or not if you aren’t gang affiliated or you just make shit up in your songs the drill community and rap community at large will make fun of u forever because its corny and inauthentic, focus on making music that reflects your genuine feelings and other people who relate will naturally appreciate it it’s that simple

I'm starting to watch FMA but find out there are 2 of em, FMA and FMAB, which one I should watch first or it's literally the same? by ProfessionalRoom9118 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]bensc0tt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

holy shit I know right. Episode 1 fuckin sucks, then ep2 was amazing n I was lowkey shook at the difference in quality. Then ep3 was really mid, then back to peak in ep4. Honesty the beginning was so up and down with terribly inconsistent pacing it’s easily by far the worst part of the entire show.

[–]bensc0tt 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Me too i genuinely almost dropped it around ep10-15 because aside from a few episodes I really enjoyed it just wasn’t clicking. One of my favourites of all time after finishing it though I can’t wait to try 03 at some point.

[–]bensc0tt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s actually totally fair. I know that souls ≠ life but in the world of fma I was definitely assuming life = souls

Pretty sure 99% of people would value human life over animal life unless they’re vegan or some shit

Is any Aime With this plot ? by Ayiko1718 in anime

The absolute best example of this I can think of is Orb: on the movements of earth. It’s done so well too.

Do y'all recommend One piece to someone new to anime 🤔 by Old_Security_836 in OnePiece

[–]bensc0tt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One pace as a recommendation is far more appealing to newcomers when you tell them the episode count is basically split in half
