OPM is pretty much a parody of the Shounen Jump genre, im pretty sure One, the creater said something in that way, i am paraphrasing ofc

well im glad that THEY know anime is ridiculous

thats all i need to know

it brings me joy

@dizzy i do believe its a satire and comedy at heart, but a fortunate side effect is that the author can no longer use constant and unending improvement and triumph as a premise

Do you find Anime ridicilous? @dizzy

i mean alot of the tropes are

back stories, expository dialogue, fan service, awkward script writing

I mean in whole as a concept, do you watch anime at all?

no i like anime i grew up on naruto bleach sailor moon dbz one piece

like the boiler plate stuff

Anime is the only place on the planet throughout all time that im aware of where you can find good women.

All of those animes are so one dimensional

My favourite anime is Yu Yu Hakasho

last ones i watched were attack on titan and a piano one called shigasu wa kimi no uso

@Redneo I really dont see that appeal, that side of anime

Attack on titan has a lot of deeper concepts

Attack on titan is kinda cool, although i dont follow it too much

yeah but its still "anime"

Full metal alchemist was great

you know?

Cowboy bebop

oh yeah samurai champloo

@BlaqShiep Duude full metal alchemist is the shit

Right on

dont get me wrong theres really good anime i just think alot of the tropes are distracting

@PhysX its actually extremely deep too... Its allegorical. Like real alchemy

the exact tropes that OPM satirizes

@dizzy i cant stand animes that are comprised of only that trope. Lile naruto, dbz etc

@BlaqShiep I suppose, but I seldom dive deep into storylines, few exceptions ofcourse.

An anime like attack on titan or full metal alchemist do contain these tropes but i find them mostly like "clickbait"

okay like attack on titan right? the most horrific grotesque shit is happening and you still have characters like blushing or making awkward anime dialogue

I fucking loved Death Note, that shit is great, two geniuses at each others throat via mind games, so cool

like actual people at war will not behave like that, its distracting

@PhysX fair... I cant help it. Its like reading a billboard. I watch a show and it happens automatically

@BlaqShiep It does for me too with some, on the other hand with others it does not

@PhysX deathnote was original and well written but it got old real fast

@BlaqShiep Nah man, mustve seen some other death note then 😄

It seemed like the writer was commissioned to create more episodes than he intended and it kind of compromised the show for me

death note was good until L dies

and then yeah the writing gets a little... nose divey
