Mob psycho is way better than one punch man, BUT, itt'll forever be in the shadows of OPM S1. I'm so fucking sad that they didn't make a mob movie with the same level of dedication/money ... If they did i bet you it would have been the new MAL top 1. :/

@@ryohei9027 i mean OPM just has a iconic tag on it . . .story wise its mainly just action, but just the niche it offers make it very iconic because it was one of the first big hit in its genre

mob psycho is one of the most overrated shows i have ever seen. it is a 6/10 at best

made me laugh so hard

Joey's take on JJK mid and AOT uninteresting really blows out of proportion, in compared to the other boys' and guests' hot takes.

Those takes are actually ones I'd very much agree with.@@azraieruslim

@@azraieruslim I agree tho. Jjk season 1 being mid is understandable, nothing to crazy there. And I do find aot uninteresting because I look for character dramas in anime and aot's cast of characters is really weak

@@azraieruslim JJK is kind of mid though. In the end t's just another shounen. It's ok to watch, but to me the unclear and wacky powerscaling is making all those hyped fights meaningless. Not to mention the plot and characters. As for AoT, I do consider it great, but I can also see why some people would find it lacking.

🤓

ooooooh ok! then that list makes sense i guess.... of course more people would have watched Tokyo Ghoul than they did One Piece for example.

I thought so too but wasn't sure so ended up believing joey cause assumed he would've at least looked that up xD

Hmm as the other guy said that makes sense, since popularity means the one people know more and it doesn't necessarily mean the best.

yeah its the number of people that have added them to their lists its not favorites.

I agree with you so much, but Joey said top 50 😭- 100% top 10

I felt the exact opposite of them talking about. Only one has even watched it. Joey saying "it's on my top 50" and completely underselling it seems weird... There's a reason it's so rare to find anyone who's watched the show & doesn't absolutely adore it. Not saying it's perfect, but the more anime you watch, the better the show is.

also one of the best adaptations that manages to "update" the story in the modern setting without destroying the story. We need more adaptations that understand the tone and message of the series like Devil Man Crybaby or Dororo instead of making a boring direct adaptation of something especially for really really old titles that might not be as appealing for audiences today.

agreed. one of my personal favorites

​@@ellusiv5121completely agree, it's an absolute classic anime andcI was worried they were gonna ruin it. But they did a great job.

L honestly

​@@david24_Gintama definitely has episodes or moments that were rock bottom in terms of any form of entertainment, and if he sees that as a big minus, then it makes sense. it does have a lot of it and we fans know it, after all. in my opinion though, Gintama has sooo many PEAK moments enough to override the trash ones to deserve top spot

I don’t think u understand how much anime that man has seen, top 50 is a HUGE accomplishment

​@kentmarquez4929 rock bottom in any form of entertainment is crazy. It has bad moments like many other works none that I'd rank rock bottom of all media lol

Yea he means that. Before he started talking about it@@TheMindofagenius1

Timestamp?

​@@TheMindofagenius1 When he said he wanted to pull a trash taste moment

Have to say, they are definitely too negative towards the show, I thought it was alright. Doesn't deserve to be as popular as it is, but it was a 7.5-8 out of 10. (on anime scale, cause anime is the type of media where if you find an anime that is 5/10, it will be straight up painful to watch). Of course, I *AM NOT* dying on this hill, it ain't anything crazy, it just is made out to be the worst thing ever made when the show was over all a pretty decent show until it fumbled the ending due to heavy rushing. (though most complaints are because the adult MC who traveled back in time didn't get with the 11 year old girl he saved) Then again, I have seen Usagi Drop's manga ending, and any ending is going to seem amazing compared to that.

@@Forwaken Erased is a weird case. It for sure fizzled out for the last 3 episodes and the ending didn't land. But what usually gets remembered in anime are the highs of a show and the highs of erased were VERY high. Because that's how it works, people will remember the 4-5 best scenes of a show and not the show itself. Having a great start also helps with high score because everyone give it high scores after 1-3 episodes to give it visibility but that's how sites like M.A.L. work

erased deserve to be higher the loveble characters Enough for me

I'm so glad Connor called out MAL for their bullshit with the Japanese titles. That drives me bonkers, wasting so much of my time having to look shit up when scrolling my PtW list. And it just plays up to the worst, most toxic, elitist shit heels in the fandom.

Yeah i get that it was a rushed adaptation, but its sort of like a journey over destinatiom type deal. Because the story and characters were very interesting. I still believe this anime is the perfect introductory show to anime, even moreso than deatnote or AOT, since it doesn’t have the over the top nature of most anime, yet it has some punch to it, and most people like suspenful criminal dramas, and this one does a great job at that (until the end which is pretty mild and predictable, but not necessarily terrible). So far I’ve used it to introduce my friends into anime and it’s worked around 5 times, 3 of them have watched more stuff while the other two simply watched the show and enjoyed it but didn’t watch other anime.

fr im a huge fan of fast paced seinen or shounens but frierens slow pace is kinda nice idk why. its just so chill. the perfect sunday anime

That and the lack of appreciation about the good qualities of the first half left a bad taste in my mouth regarding that discussion. Didn’t ruin the episode or anything for me though. Been watching them too long for all that lol.

Actually I'm curious how high School Days was back then lol.

Scrolled down quite alot for a Bleach related reply so I had to hit like. I was thinking the same thing when Joey was talking about it. Hell, big fans were waiting and checking all the news for 2 years since it was announced. So of course they know all about it by now

I feel like this is the AOT version of OMGOSH the anime fixed all my issues. The plot of bleach was what it was. It wasnt trying to be perfect no one really was back in the day. Anime fans feel like eliteist now when they used to just enjoy stuff. Bleach thousand year war was good to begin with and it hit a issue cause it had alot of losse ends to fix and the ending and so on. But the opening yes, mal rating worth of being that high. People complained for years bleach is MID etc and this non c ensored bleach showed it wasnt. Bleach on paper isnt a frieren level of deep and its not trying to be...top 10 maybe not, many fans helped that. But im happy for it. Given a realistic top 10 would only be short series since people hate series that take time to tell you "DRAMA and CONFLICT are HUMAN personal stakes" over and over. Cool fights let me know ok i dont need to hear how deep depression is in evangelion (i like that show) to be told ok you have good taste.

Also, saying that bleach's book is definitely closed when kubo dropped a bombshell revealing literally the most epic arc of the manga and probably one of the best arc is shonen period ? Lol. I'm well aware that it's a "one shot" but you're supposed to tell me that kubo the mastermind did this without thinking about the entire arc in details ? ... The guy is THE foreshadower way above oda lol. When the anime catches up, if this madman adapts the one-shot as well the entire anime fanbase will loose their shit xD.

People stay hating on bleach and prop up one piece cause world building. Bleach has the stuff, and TYBW that all those people hating on it at release now eat crow...Reminds me how manga fans cry when reading week to week then the anime comes out of a series and the "BAD" arc turns out good...and their said "good arc" turns out too fast paced and dry for anime onlies. aka manga pacing cant have revelations every chapter kubo had great art and with modern pacing his manga flows pretty well episode to episode. @@ryohei9027

Lol, I drop it after ep 2, this show was my worst personal anime experience ever)) It is just ordinary life some extremely stupid (except this japan chess game) and super-duper "amoeba look like" boy. (and other characters not really better too). Watch this two episodes was so boring and annoying.

@@rainraisins2262 I got off of my seat when they just cut to the sponsors. Garnt CLEARLY had something to say about it to! NOOOOOO!

Steins gate is the goat

Completely agree, I nevery undstood people saying it was hard to get through the first part. If your only halfway through and think its good you are in for a treat

I found Steins;Gate 0 way harder to go through, felt really repetitive near the end (and I watched endless 8). I would also give it a 8,5 tho

@lachlanjones903 The relative slowness of the first half is the biggets gripe for most people, but I personally enjoyed the first half as I just love the chemistry between the main four characters - Okabe, Kurisu, Mayuri, and Daru. I have to admit, however, that a couple of the other characters seem a just a bit... idk, boring? I won't say who, because I don't want to spoil, but they felt a little bit like fillers. But I guess that's because the anime is based on a visual novel, so the creators just wanted to give exposition even to the side characters. However, the rest of the anime is 10/10 and literally everything is crucial for the development of the plot. There's a tiny oversight at the very end of the anime, which I think is not well explained, but the emotion and the development of the story sort of mask it enough so it's not a big deal.

Same - seems like some people have short attention spans and aren’t that intellectual (for a lack of a better term) and so just gloss over the character dynamics and exposition and build-up of tension in the first half - that are all crucial for the second half!! ‘No deaths and fights and explosions and zipping through timelines? Boring.’

Agreed. First episodes is incredible if you like the characters

Every single character is amazing.... with the exception of Daru. My god I can't stand his voice. Even though his voice actor is one my favorites mostly because of Gilgamesh, but my god why did he voice Daru like that.

Facts Stein's Gate is good from episode 1, especially after rewatch. Current anime fans just want instant gratification and get impatient and won't let a story build.

@@togachan5081 Russian dub of Daru is amazing, because in Russian all steins gate was voiced by single person Ancord and he was incredible, If it seems strange that one person dubbed whole series, Ancord is sort of a legend in Russian anime, because he dubbed half of all anime by himself

I recently rewatched the show and have to say, yes, it is slower than the second half. But there was so much building suspense way earlier than I remembered. The thrilling aspects of the story and the idea of doom looming was still very well done. Still on the slower side but not as bad as people tend to make it out to be.

This bothered me so much

In order to actually put the misunderstanding in this reply section. If im not mistaken, the popularity ranking is based on how many users joined said animes community, not based on how many people favorited it.

@@galaxyrequiem8410 It's literally how many people have added an anime to their lists. No matter the rating, or if they've even dropped it ("plan to watch" probably also does count).

Honestly, I'm surprised that Violet isn't in the top 50, or even the top 25 for that matter. It's one of my top 3 favourite Anime.

@@eclipsesonic I think it'll always be a bit niche because it's not an action show, but anyone who loves animation would have a wonderful time watching it.

​@eclipsesonic that's because they're looking at the wrong list. The actual top favorite list has Violet at 25. They were looking at most watched.

Oh, that's cool about Violet. Thanks for pointing that out.@@user-db6dq6je3r

Both shows actually bore me at the start. I have Frieren manga a try years back from gigguk suggestion and I didn’g feel the crying. I was also recc it bc I was in love with To Your Eternity. But with the anime, i pushed through and it finally found a place in my heart. I didnt give Violet Evergarden the same treatment bc from what i know, she ends up with a groomer lol

I watched it around 2012 or so and it was a good show, but its far from number 1. Given the modern pacing that show might be a bit slow and boring, if Mal got a reseted it would mainly be modern shows in the top 10.

see, my take on FMA Brotherhood is that the manga is just 100% better. I hate the way Brotherhood ruins the Leore storyline by pacing it poorly, adding too many jokes/ruining the somber tone of the brothers trying to convince Rose that her fiance is permanently dead, and also by dumping in this fast tracked hackneyed anime original first episode, which means that Leore is no longer the story's hook... that's pretty egregious to me. and especially because the guy's plan in that anime original episode, was to use a lot of anchor points over a wide area, in order to create a transmutation circle that sacrifices everything within it's bounds. that's borderline just spoiling major late series plot information, or at least stealing the thunder from those realizations. all of that was _supposed_ to be a revelation, when it naturally becomes relevant later in the story. why do this? why fuck it up this badly?? new fans are gonna be confused at best, and unimpressed by later plot reveals at worst (because they technically already knew this information), and older fans like me are gonna find this jarring, strange, and annoying. and I also hate that they cut out the part during the boys' flashback to Izumi's training, where Izumi sent a guy dressed as a monster to chase them around on the island. it takes away so much from that part of the story. Izumi sent that guy to make sure that the brothers could keep up on their hand to hand combat skills, but also to make sure they wouldn't die if they were struggling. if that guy isn't there, then Izumi really is the type of woman to just leave two children in the wilderness alone. but on top of that, Ed and Al only realize what "one is all and all is one" means, because they have to hunt for food to survive, but they _also_ feel like they're being hunted by this beast. they feel like they are both predator and prey, so they understand the feelings of both of those roles. this is how the life/death cycle creates balance in nature. it's important for understanding the fundamental laws of alchemy, but it was also probably Izumi's way of trying to lead the brothers to realizations that she'd already had, about why you don't do human transmutation. a lot of FMAB's blunders in the early parts of the story, as it attempts to fast track its way through the stuff that FMA 2003 already covered, kind of trample on themes that need to be well established, if the later parts of the story are going to hit with full effectiveness. I'm not saying it'll fully ruin the experience, plenty of people have loved FMAB when it's the only version of the story they've ever known, but I've also known people who fell off of it, because they gave it like 10 episodes (a more than fair shake) and just really weren't enjoying it. and I think knowing how the manga handled the early plot could potentially change that.

Something similar happened to Assasination Classroom, the end of the manga and anime were lime 2 weeks apart

My cousin has only really watched newer stuff that would be on the top 10 and slightly lower stuff. JJK, AoT adn a bunch of the other ones up there are are super popular today. He watched FMAB and still rated it top 1, so I feel vindicated.

​@@WieldMyWordbut for a show to be better it doesn't need to have the "modern" pace. It is not the show's fault that most people nowadays don't have patience or real commitment.

True🎉 But lelouch choosing to use something so horrible as his example to explain the geass in that moment did feel a bit forced

They did say they weren't sure

Ya that's what I was thinking , I was so confused lol

I agree, I feel like most of the bad rep Steins gate gets is from old heads assuming it doesn't age well and shonent**ds having a tiktok level attentionspan. I watched it for the first time last year and the mystery the first half sets up of trying to figure out whats going on is great. There really wasn't any bad episodes. IMO the worst episodes were like 17-21 not the first half.

Steins gate is a masterpiece and deserves its ranking. Even the first episode is heavily relevant, as when the story wraps up, every detail in every episode including the first episode comes full circle. It is a time travel mystery at the end of the day and the first few episodes set the tone.

​mhm I agree I liked the first half quite a lot when Okabe starts getting messages and feeling paranoid makes you feel the tension even before the big reveal and I love the banter between the characters was super fun also just them talking about time travel was super interesting using real world events that happened it always had my attention.

The first part is much better than everything else. The humour and energy between the cast was amazing but the plot later on was so stupid. Forced myself to finish it

I think the rating is deserved, but I 100% agree with the boys that the start was slowaf. The thing that kept me watching was the hints of seriousness peppered throughout the beginning that hinted at something bigger

Yeahhh, I was so excited!!! They had great takes too

Morel was the MVP of the chimera arc. He lowkey carried the mission.

God I love Morel. Also fucking funny when the lion ant made a SEA HUNTER fight in water with him.

Garnt offscript (when not making videos for his channel) always sounds a little wierd. You see this a lot during his twitch streams

wdym his opinions about edward edward were completely valid

Yeah he didn’t have any real takes about its undertones foreshadowing done right or wrong. literally no value at all

Its fuckin best anime and also shogun assassination and farewell shinsengumi arc>>>>>

Joey is a legend, loved to hear them talk about it. I don't know if he's seen Gintama 2015 though (the one at fourth place), it makes sense that is at least fourth in my opinion, and it's talked about separately by Gintama fans

@YorozuyaPrince How do you know? I only thought so because I haven't heard him mention anything about gintama 2015 and later

@YorozuyaPrince oh yeah he prolly didn't then. I hope he gets to because that's peak gintama and you can't rate it effectively without having seen it

also, the "at home" feeling part is so on point

I'm so naive that I clicked on this episode thinking "maybe Garnt finally watched FMAB in preparation for this discussion".

That's never gonna happen

Not gonna happen bubba

Nah that shit is grasping at the Straw of Infinity at this point it'll never gonna happen.

Trash taste special: Garnt watch FMAB and Joey watch Arcane in the span of a week

Joey with some based takes. Gintama is the funniest anime I've ever watched. I'd rate it higher just for that fact. And .hack//SIGN absolutely did it first (in reference to the premise of SAO).

thank you

I watched it for the first time last year after 200+ anime and I’d still put it in my top 10.

Ngl I stopped watching the show at I guess episode 11 many many years ago because I couldn't get past it. I'm fortunate that I picked it up after a few years but honestly that first half hurt the viewing experience a lot. And when I lot of people say that, I think there is definitely something that went wrong with it. There r shows that have a slow start like haikyuu, even vinland saga. But there has to be something to make the viewers make excited to continue. Steins gate couldn't get that well. It wad well written but there was definitely something missing that is rightfully criticised

@@prithagore4870 That something was the mystery and the sci-fi mechanics of them testing the time travel stuff. the first half of steins;gate had a hook, the hook was just something that excites a weirdo who watches something like primer for fun like me. But even without it, it just had a fun ass group dynamic. which made it have an appeal similar to something like haruhi. If you find the first half of steins;gate boring, mystery or/and sci-fi are probably just not things that can keep your interest on their own. The second half of steins;gate isn't even more fast paced. it just changes genres from a mystery sol sci-fi, to a thriller sci-fi with some mystery.

@@prithagore4870 yeah thats fair enough if you feel that way. Like the sci-fi and group dynamics are killer i loved them so much and was drawn in by the intrigue. I’m not trying to say that everyone will enjoy the first half, obviously it won’t be for everyone, but it is just as well made and well written as the second half and I don’t consider the slow pacing to be a detriment but a strength. Some people won’t jive with that style of storytelling and that’s totally ok. I just feel whenever the boys talk about it they clearly are speaking from shoddy memories and undervaluing how well crafted the first half is but there’s nothing wrong with them thinking it isn’t as good.

Yeah Nen is the best situational power system in my opinion. Opposite of Dragon Ball like “Power levels” and instead about how an ability can counter their opponents. There’s a reason Nen is the gold standard for Shonen battle series!

@@Nikkska Its wild how many rules it has but its still very creative. Its also crazy how Togashi had already created another very creative powersystem as well in YYH. Spirit Energy was very basic but then in the middle of the story he introduces characters who have ''territories'' which was done very well. And lots of modern day manga have copied versions of that. I think JJK has a version of territories. Haven't watched that series yet but it looked like it from what I read. Togashi was even able to add a whole different powersystem into HxH while explaining Nen. With Greed Island and the way the game worked. Which also was a Nen ability lol

The people who don't like hunter x hunter are just trying to be cool and sound mature.

Top 22 and Top 1 are very very different

and what about nostalgia bias?

Absolutely and Garnt should finish the OG OVA.

Exactly. The show excels, not just 'does well'.. I'm talking completely excels, in literally every single category. Literally cannot get any more perfect.

Omg you're purely exaggerating

Which bits and pieces? I've quickly checked his wiki page, and none of it is remotely close. No 2008 civil war in America, no world war 3 in 2015, no beef disease etc.

​@@pticu1in 2008 all US troops were ordered to leave the iraq war and it was completed in 2011. And also a pest was found that could make you allergic to red meat including beef. Maybe things didn't happen because we shifted the timelines 🤯

@@ishansharma2463 Maybe it didn't happen becuse of that but I am interested in the things that came true and nothing is close( Ok - maybe this pest that you mentioned is little bit similar )

@@pticu1 The current theory is by him explaining what was going to happen it delayed it/altered it in some way. John titor predicted civil unrest in 2005 due to presidential election scandals as well as riots and what not that sounds a lot like the year 2020-2021 doesn't it?

Yeah but now every anime has to fight off the mid allegations, no matter how good it is.

its precisely because it came out in the big3 era big 3 boosted the popularity of shonnen and while the big 3 continously drag on hundreds of episodes, fmab completed their series with 64ep which was what people was acclaiming about it 13 years ago if you can remember .shonnen show ends sub 100ep .good dub .good intro was all the talking points of the show when it finished airing

Well that’s exactly the point Joey made. You want to find out about the mystery, but 6-7 episodes later the show still hasn’t revealed anything important. It really is a show that requires patience.

@@alexli223 Those 6-7 episodes are explaining how the time machine works and drops hints about what’s actually going on. How is that not important? It’s also a mystery/thriller, why would you want major plot reveals early on in the show?

Dude the Yoswell Mine chapter holds barely any significance in the original manga and the Hunter exams is the lamest arc in 2011 version despite being rushed

@@peetsaman8889 The mine chapter sets up the kind of underlying corruption and the kind of world you're getting into very very well. As for the Hunter exam, the 1999 version was so intense and so gripping. It was awesome. They completely squandered it in the 2011 exactly because of the rush.

kinda sucks how people diss the OG FMA though. Like the best anime experience for FMA probably is watch the OG first then Brotherhood. Because I personally think OG FMA does the Early arcs better and watching Brotherhood after the OG enhances the experience of the later arcs.

@@Snzn18 I completely agree with you. While watching the first episodes I had the feeling that the director expected that people already watched the OG FMA, and the good part is that most did. The first Arcs feel incomplete without the first anime. But on another matter, I am really sad that the first anime doesn't get the recognition it deserves. People keep comparing it to B, like they would be siblings, even though they are completely different. Of course it will lose, objectively speaking, FMA:B is perfect, no anime beats it, but OG FMA is amazing by itself. The stories hit much harder, the characters are closer to reality, and the stakes are much bigger. It doesn't deserve all the diss it gets, simply because there is that perfect sibling with straight A, who wears the same name

@@Snzn18absolutely right. FMB rushes through those first episodes to the point of barely making sense. I’d advise people to at least watch the first 10 or so episodes of FMA before starting Brotherhood.

@@Snzn18 watch 50 episode to enhance an already great 60 episode shows? naaaaahhh, thats a whole 2 titles more i can watch i dont understand why ppl bothered by the fact some ppl dissed FMA, look at MAL and see the rating, if you like it, should ve stop looking at what minority said. of course you gonna only find ppl who dislike it, because they who like it, dont care enough to say their opinion about the inferior version of FMAB. there are tons who like it so dont focus on those who hate it.

@@rainscents it's not really minority when the "general opinion" and people who don't watch parrot it like a Bible is the "opinion" that FMA OG is "very bad". And for people who might want to watch it, and give some time to it just to do so. A "general opinion" that random people blurt out that the show is just bad and not bother to watch it is of course gonna discourage people to simply give it a shot. And I did not ever really check and personally went to comments dudding the OG. Since it is a "general widely known opinion". Even if I am not actively searching for it. Once FMAB is being discussed somebody will give that bad take about the OG regardless. For a widely spread opinion I still haven't really even watched or read a review that actually critiquing the "Good and Bad" of the OG or even a "Fair" comparison between them.

Hello fellow Bleach fan. Just wanted to mention that I agree, I doubt the ending will change but they redeemed the Squad Zero

Always love seeing a fellow Bleach fan in the wild

Amazing how good a story can be when the creator isn't being rushed. Kubo cooked so hard with the last two eps of cour 2

I'm not sure but I heard Bleach ending in the manga is rushed, hope they fix that.

Can't wait to catch up to it. I have recently started watching Bleach(on episode 32 currently) and I am enjoying it. One thing I am loving about this show is the soundtrack goes hard.

Exactly!!!!!!!

I'm pretty sure he spends more time picking up plot lines from conversations than actually watching anime.

@@Christopher._M really? Source?

@@ryana5435 I'm pretty sure he's said it on former podcast videos and his channel.

The guy HAS watched more anime than most people here. Before he burned put.

As a new-ish anime fan who started in 2023, I was not at all bothered by the slow building up of Steins Gate. But it's also probably because Iam in my late 20s and can appreciate intricate character moments. After all I do really enjoy Hyouka as well.

I watched it in 2022 and it instantly became my most favourite anime of all time. I even played the Visual Novels. The setting, the characters, the story, everything just clicked with me.

​@@raimobin45hyouka is amazing tbh..It's in my top10 most favorite anime

Its only 12 episodes which is not much time to really get very invested in every aspect of the show, if Mal had got a reset nowadays it would not be up there in the top spot. Only Gintama, FMAB and SG are up there because they were popular when Mal was made as an site and due to how many bots voted back then it pushed the amount of votes so high its impossible to move the scores today. Also a lot of those accounts are inactive today or has not been updated which would have changed the score given the hindsight.

That is Just 1 example

UPD : He outplayed us again lol

He ain’t ever reading or watching it lol

@@sharebear421 ye I know lol

I was so glad when he mentioned the Edward brothers. My favourite characters.

When he talked about Hues doing the finger thing, I'm not gonna lie, I moaned a little.

My god, just image them trying to read a visual novel xD. The reason why I loved stains gate's first part so much is because I'm a huge fan of mystery solving. But given the trash taste guys relatively short attention span, their distaste of the first part makes perfect sense.

​@@togachan5081 Yeah. To love Steins Gate is to love mystery. And mystery stories required their own kind of pacing.

@@togachan5081 tbf, garnt and joey watched it at the time when it was airing weekly and they probably didn't knew a thing about it. Most of us got the pleasure going into it knowing its a great mystery show. If I were to go back in time and watch it for the first time, I would've probably have the same take as them

@@davidchavez4066 Makes sense. I didn't think about that.

@@davidchavez4066 Eh there is no excuse to just ignoring or glossing over great dialogue. This steins gate talk reminds of how there are so many people who glossed over the brilliant dialogues (for its genre) JJK had from the get go and it led to so many people not understanding it and thereby hate it. Ignoring dialogue and then calling something slow or boring is just an invalid take

Honestly lmao the manga list is easily agreeable
