This and Gurren Lagan are the only anime I do repeat viewings of every year lined up on specific dates. For this one, I always do 1 episode per day to line up this episode with Christmas Day. I like a ton of other anime but genuinely love this, Gurren Lagann, and Trigun the most.
This anime reminds me of the same wild sense of humor as "The adventures of Gumball" ..someone from Japan watching it for the first time would probably be just as confused lol I actually watched the Eng subtitled version of Nichijou - My Ordinary Life several years ago but thanks to this RU-vid video, I just found out they have a Dub version in English so I'm now rewatching it because I gave up early in the subtitled version
Konosuba is like the isekai anime version of South Park. It pulls in everything going on around it and gives a laugh at it while still remaining great in its own right.
Did you just say the first three ep are “fairly normal”? Didn’t Dio KNEE a dog upon intro, SA a girl cause she liked Joseph, and plot to take his entire family down all in the first three…and that’s normal to you?
People forget that Rudeous isnt just some otaku neet. He is a trauma victim. Trauma changes and warps you. He isnt broken because he is a perv. He is a perv because he is broke. They made it clear that his trauma caused him to change this way. His second life is him trying to get back to the person he could have been had he not been put through crazy traumatic bullying, which parallel real life. For this who plan to shit post this, get an education on trauma informed care. This stuff actually happens to people regularly.
I think isekai is fundamentally flawed because in the end it becomes really boring, it has a hard time making the people not npcs, it’s not wrong to have some characters be npcs but it’s when your side character are npcs like there’s no motivations and the Mc doesn’t have a real personality. It also becomes boring when npc merchant/king bends over backwards for the MC when the MC does something from their perspective not something hard to do. It feels like the world bows down to the MC and it gets annoying because the MC gets infinite resources and just doesn’t consider the other person as a person when in context, they should be opposed to doing. Especially when the npc doesn’t get anything in return like merchants “investing” in the MC all of their lives hard work and we just never see it pay off.
Concerning Luck/Pluck, Pluck is when you accomplish something through your own effort and determination (as in calling someone "plucky"), which is the opposite of its previous name, Luck.
22:45 Legitimately at this point. I get it. I really do. That bakc and forth one uppance that kids do. Ye, I get it. Wow. I might just have to watch the show now that I get the crazy appeal.
What if that threat of imprisonment and deportation is just reverse psychology to make him ffffffff them all? When he finally did it and post nut clarity happened he will freak out but then Smith just tell him "good job!"
One thing about your part 1 statement Dio was there to inherit the Joestar fortune and was acting like a brat because he was raised in an abusive relationship. He quite literally poisoned his own father. When the inheritance plan fails, he just resents the joestars for ruining the fun and wants to take revenge on them.
4:59 Makes sense? 😂 This was my first anime, so i was very confused when they first started talking about "the demon king" and "reincarnation" like you're just supposed to know what that means 😅
I like the show and there is only one character that i detest. It’s the supernatural “Man-god” character that i find miserable. The character is more evil than good and gives self serving advice to Rudeus.
He's a normal guy, and it is soooo refreshing in anime in general, it's great. Good humor, and not that complicated, but good story. And it is not story about fighting monsters and saving world. It's story about bonds between Kazuma party members. Also about voice acting in 2:00. This is for what I love OtaKoi. Acting of heroine is so good, I love to rewatch it over and over.
At 12:05, Araki was heavily inspired by fist of the north star, an extremely popular shonen anime that really began the whole Character A vs Character B fight scheme, the on the nose dialogue, Johnathan’s character design and the beatdowns.
