Montages of nothing happening: The Anime.
Why is this considered good again?
Still better than SAO.
It's comfy
>>137505032
It's the exact opposite, it's boring it drones on endlessly. Not to mention it's extremely pretentious.
Well directed and certainly beautiful to look at. The writing is poor on average but the show excels at generating atmosphere. The slow pace fits in with the feelings of weakness and hopelessness felt by the cast.
>>137505210
So, it's shit on purpose? Got'cha.
>well-directed
>literally two horrid montages with an insert song to fill shit up

>>137505395
hahahahaha, wow.
>>137505104
>Pretentious
Not trying to defend it, but how so?
>>137505248
Perhaps michael bay hollywood stuff is more your stuff than atmospheric shows? I can understand that, most people have shit taste after all, even in /a/.
>>137505572
>mmo-esque
>pretending to be deep
>montages of 'art'
It's hard to explain, but it certainly is pretentious. They can play out their themes without setting it in a MMO-type world.
>>137504886
It's not. It's selling horribly, likely on the fanservice alone.
It's averagely refreshing.
>>137505589
>half season is done
>literally one thing has happened
>3 hours of run-time
>>137504886
Who considers it good
The most I've ever heard was people said it's ok and it's barely selling in Japan
>>137505688
Oh jeez, never watch Jeanne Dielman you ADD autist.
>>137505630
I mean why is it considered good on /a/. I am not surprised at all that it is doing badly, it being shit and all.
>>137505623
>implying somebody dying means something is pretending to be deep
>>137505731
Did /a/ consider it good? All I see in the threads are people jerking off to the moeblob and Yume with everything else comprised of fa/tg/uys only tangentially talking about the show.
>>137505754
More a long the lines of the probably over 20 minutes of time it has spent on montages of environments and buildings.
>>137505731
People beating off to the girls doesn't mean that people consider it good
>>137505779
Since there is not much source material avaliable to talk about unlike the discussions in 2ch
>>137505897
Well with so little things happening in the show, there's definitely a distinct amount of nothing to talk about.
>>137505801
That's not deep though, it's just setting the mood and the pace of the show.
>>137505934
I was talking about the novels.
>>137505779
That's the signal that it's a bad show, when only the dregs are left talking about it.
It isn't. That's why it's bombing. Only some retards here like it.
>>137505623
That's not what anyone thinks when calling something pretentious
>>137505801
I think you're projecting. Or you just have a very weird idea of what "deep" is.
The show has tons of problems, especially the montages with pop songs gliding over it. I can't stand those moments either.
But, I still keep watching it. I love watching plebs barely succeeding or having issues forever like:
Outnumbering a lone sucker 6:1 and still struggling to bring him down.
Resorting to stealth kills to make up for your general suckiness.
Ill preparedness for dealing with incapacitated healer.
Losing their shit when party leader is out.
Party leader was vanguard, healer, and shot caller and no one could step up.
Having a new member replace your healer but there's no team cohesion.
I love plebs.
I enjoy boring things so I really enjoy this anime
I'm quite surprised, since I read half the first LN and got bored of it.
>>137506175
Konosuba is just dudes getting owned in a sillier fashion, so you might like it if you've not already tried it.
>>137505395
two nukes weren't enough
>>137505395
I wish it really was a yume
>>137506175
This. It's probably the type of show where the big reveals are at the very end. Maybe the LNs explain how they got to the world with the red moon by now, not sure, only found 2 volumes translated from the 7 out in nippon. It's more like anime survivor, the characters are pretty idiotic and the only semi-competent one dies first.
Pretty sure most people watch solely for Yume.
But it's really fucking slow, and not in a good way like Mushishi, they just drag literally everything(dialogues, pacing) out trying to be "atmospheric".
>>137505623
pre·ten·tious
prəˈten(t)SHəs/
adjective
attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed.
>>137504886
It is acually terrible and inferior to the other game-like shows.
>>137506175
The bad parts of Grimgar have nothing to do with the events. The pacing is bad and the characters are boring.
>>137506290
konosuba is a comedy though, and the people are extremely skilled just misguided or corrupt
grimgar, they are all incompetent emotionally and skill wise. Every day is a fight to stay alive, not to go home and enjoy your peaceful life in backwater Australia.
Another thing which I thought grimgar did well was character death.
No resurrection
Crying only
Suffering only
Good to see OP open a shitposting thread for this show.
Now please stay here and don't come to main thread, thanks.
>>137506747
Why are grimgar fans so blind and defensive? Can't they see how bad the show is?
>>137505395
>notsouthpark.webm
I initially liked Grimgar's refreshing take on that isekai fantasy but we're halfway into the season and now it's starting to become a chore to watch. The pacing is horrid, the lack of a distinct goal makes me uninvested, and none of the characters are engaging enough to fill in that gap.
I'll still watch it though because I still love the 'scrubby fuckwits scarping by' gimmick.
>>137505630
>>137505697
>>137506101
Samefag or not, i have bad news for you which is...it keep going up since episode 4, either LN or Anime.
>>137506841
but they do have a goal though, to get 20 silvers for each of the party members to get their volunteer soldier tag things, but for them to do that, they have to git gud; therefore, the show is about them getting gud.
>>137506795
Because most /a/ are not something like neogaf or MAL's faggot.
>>137506933
Then they should montage their getting good so they can get on with the fucking story and world building. Are you seriously impressed by stills of buildings and endless crying?
>>137506841
The goal is pretty clear about how the show will end: A few of them get their badges and then bury their dead comrades.
Then it ends with some shitty fucking montage about plot threads to try and sell you books while the ED and credits plays over top it.
>>137504886
I like to think of it as a SoL with little battle scenes in between the comfy moments.
>>137506290
I'll give it a shot, not much else I'm watching this season.
It's like i'm reading Bodacious Space Pirates thread again.
>>137506996
>Then they should montage their getting good so they can get on with the fucking story and world building.
You know what? they did, and more than one time, do you even watched this show?
>>137507061
Hey fuck off. Mouretsu at least had better characters than this shit.

It's flopping anon but don't worry. Almost everything is in flopsville this season.
>>137507134
It's more like you're trying to use Space Pirates as weapon to shitpost Grimgar.
>>137505309
Never trust the average person who brings up direction at all.
>>137507001
What's comfy about watching slow retards crying and failing at everything?
>>137507186
The problem is, 2 Grimgar version are doing fine at same time, not just one.

It's not a type that only one version doing good, besides, the LN sold even less than Rokka before anime start airing, at this rate it's already in small success position.
>>137507327
Those are the battle scenes though. I like it when they go to the bar, cook or wash their clothes. It's nice.
>>137507347
>900~ accumulated preorders
Wow. It's doing so good.
>>137507327
they related themselves to it
>>137507123
Montages of them trying to kill shit =/= montages of them getting good, do you watch ANY anime?
For fucks sake, different doesn't automatically mean it's good. Seriously apart from one death, what has happened apart from a sook sooking?
>>137507241
Nigger. If I wanted to shitpost this series, I'd go to the actual thread and go full autist there. I'm just stating facts here, Mouretsu's cast was vastly superior.
>>137505309
>>137507301
Insert song were not director/staff's idea, he did dialogue record in both insert songs scene(you can see some of character actual said something).
But Toho need to push their music division, so they force staff to mute what they said, and since Toho is the main investor, they don't have any other choice.
>>137507421
What's nice in watching slow retards doing ordinary things?
>>137504886
It's not considered good. That scene at the end of one of the episodes, after that dude died, it was just a few frames of animation, repeating over and over and over again, for literally like 30 seconds.
They've made the pacing so slow, but their isn't enough content even then.
>>137507521
It bores me to death and helps me go to sleep.
>>137507434
>Montages of them trying to kill shit
So you didn't watch this show at all, what MC narrating in montages are mainly not about "kill shit", it's about how should they do to getting good in battle.
>>137505007
Honestly, it's fucking not even. It's so boring, at least SAO was never boring. It was bad, had shitty plot and shitty filler episodes, but at least something was happening at all times.
>>137507423
Yes it is, and it's also doing decent in storefront.
>>137505395
>background scrolling by her legs arent even moving
this belongs in a quality thread.
>her smile and optimism gone: the episode
Well it's nice to know what made her angsty, but that's only going to make me slightly sympathetic to her being a bit rough around the edges
But she is also getting better, little by little too
She's still in a very gray area for me, but I always hate the "they were so happy, cheerful and innocent before, until x happened, and now they are emotionless machines" bs that I always heard.
>>137507347
That's cause it got an event ticket as far as I'm aware, same as Active Raids first volume. It seems to be effective cause the show has some fujo faves like that Yoshimasa Hosoya guy.
>>137507706
That's really not something you can observably prove until you can compare/contrast stalker estimates and you know it's actually out in stores to buy. Nice try completely making shit up though.
>>137505623
>a fantasy setting is now an MMO setting and not the other way around
IBO is significantly more boring than this.
>>137504886
That seems to just be he sort of thing that's popular nowadays
>>137504886
Just because it is slow paced doesn't mean that nothing is happening.
>>137508102
>>a fantasy setting is now an MMO setting and not the other way around
I didn't realize basic plot points were up for discussion.
Are you really trying to imply they aren't in an MMO?
>guilds
>literal skills
>goblins
>>137508540
means a LOT of nothing is happening. guess that is something right?
>>137508173
Yes.
>>137508173
Two shit shows
>>137508550
>guilds
Fantasy staple.
>goblins
Fantasy staple.
>literal skills
D&D staple.
There are no distinctive hallmarks of MMORPGs such as inline chat, status windows, and viewable title/level indicators.
>>137508550
>Are you really trying to imply they aren't in an MMO?
They aren't in an MMO. They are in a world that runs like Old "pencil + paper" Role games.
>>137508820
>actually trying to deny it
Lol. I suddenly remember why I stopped coming here.
I enjoy the scrub suffering and the characters are slowly growing on me.
it's ok 10/10
>>137509008
>not actually trying to defend it
I think you might need to take another leave of absence, friend. We'll do alright without you.
>>137508550
There's some mmo influence but that doesn't mean they are trapped in an mmo.
Guilds and skills, while not exclusive to mmos, could be mmo influence. The fact that there's a party and classes is mmo just as much as it is traditional RPGs influence.
Everything else is generic fantasy world with permanent death even, and I don't see how it could be considered a game just based on the existence of guilds or skills.
>>137509623
who gives a shit.
>>137509863
Because the only thing they can argue is semantics.
>it's not an mmo!
>i-it's and RPG style world which all MMO's are based on!
>>137509930
>>137509863
It matters because it could be an important plot point in the future.
Being trapped in a game is different to being transported to a fantasy world were people die for real for example.
So far I don't see enough evidence to consider it a game.
>>137507036
I haven't read the light novels but the anime is actually good. My opinion may not matter much since I don't watch a whole lot of anime but it's one of the few series I've seen that makes me want more after the episode finishes.
>>137509623
>permanent death
Remember when EVERY death was permanent? Fucking necromancers ruining everything.
