I don't drop series out of prejudice because that's silly

I drop them when I see that I don't like them independent of what they are about. the most common cause is bad characters. since characters are the most important part they can't be too shitty or the anime / manga becomes unbearable

picking them up in the first place is a different story entirely. because the large majority is just a waste of time I have to rely on what is available. so what I do is look out for anime that look interesting. I then read the most critical reviews and decide based on them

Tsundere love interest. That's pretty much it.

>I don't drop series out of prejudice because that's silly

I'm not sure how you think that. Anime is 90% cliches, and if you've realized you despise a certain cliche or archetype, why would you continually exposing yourself to it? For me, a high school setting is virtually always going to be a terrible experience, and I don't need to waste two hours of my life to figure that out.

>>140641082

>>140640753
Both harems and reverse harems. I've literally never been able to get the appeal.
>>
>>140641190
quality isnt black and white

when an anime has great characters I will look past cliches, fanservice and other shit because the characters more than compensate for that

generally I don't watch anime about little girls or high school settings. but if I would strictly abide by my dislike for these cliches I would have never watched GuP or MSMM. especially the latter turned out one of my all time favorites

and if you need two entire hours to judge the quality of an anime with more depth than arbitrary cliches then you have much bigger problems in your life

I'm actually pretty open about picking things up, and I'm very discerning - I almost never drop shows I pick up, and not just out of a sense of duty to finish them. There are only two criteria which are guaranteed deal-breakers for me:

1. Shounenshit
2. Fujoshit

Aside from the beginning when the asshole princess tricks the MC that she's nice and supporting him, but ends up robbing him and falsely accusing him of rape, the suffering is kept to a tolerable level. Combine that with a couple of pretty cute sidekicks and a relatively likable MC, and I think it's worth checking out despite the "jap reincarnated in an MMO type fantasy" shit.

While I don't care for the path Kumo took after she became a god and wants to just go NEET out back in nipland, it is by far one of the best reincarnation WN/LNs out there. It's a rare exception, and I love it for at least trying to be different, even if I don't love everything it does.

Still, it's so damn frustrating that there isn't anything else within the subgenre that's worth reading (at least that I could find. Okina needs to come off that hiatus.

I can give you a few recs if you want, but don't expect Kumo levels of quality. I agree most of the genre is shit, but some are pretty decent. It's because of them that I keep reading in hopes of finding more great series.

I haven't fully caught up on kumo yet, I lost my steam after she defeated those robots and turned into a god, but a lot of people say it gets better so I'm waiting for the end of the semester to marathon the rest and catch up.

I'm a manga only fag, and the only part that has annoyed me so far was the fact that the nine year old squirrel girl grew the body of a twenty year old for reasons.

>>140640753

They have to keep making average high school boy who still wears the clothes mom picks out MCs, because that's the audience for anime in Japan. They're basically all like /r9k/. They would drop the series if it were led by a strong male, because they know they will never be like that and it doesn't gratify their narcissistic Millennial fantasies.
>>
>>140658709
In the LN or something? That's all I've read so far, but that's seriously a bummer if the author thought he had to shoehorn in rape too. A little bit of suffering can be good for a story, but going overboard ruins it.

How? He's literally transported to the first VR MMO, and it's complete with status screens and the like.
>>
>>140659214
>He's literally transported to the first VR MMO
But hes not.
The entire thing is that he was playing an MMO and was transported to a real world with real people and history. I'm not sure how you missed this. But the whole transported from MMO think is a small part in volume one.

After that the MMO is never mentioned. His stats and skills are all different. While he sees the world in an MMO like way, the world is real.
Hes slaughtering living, breathing, humans.
>>
>>140659265
Well, isn't every "transported to an MMO" full of living, breathing sapient humans? I can't think of any where the people are still just automatons that accomplish their tasks based off of a predetermined program. If what you said was true, then the "transported/reincarnated to an MMO" genre wouldn't exist at all, because all of them do what you say.
>>
>>140659390
No, being transported in to an MMO usually has limitations. Like they can't do X or can't do Y, and theres NPCs or other 'players' who were also transported, yet it remains as an MMO.

This is a real world, not a VR world. The people, kings, generals, peasants, are all real people. There are no NPCs, and all those people living there were born there. There have been 'players' in the past, and they've lived and died in this new earth as well.

Going very basic here, SAO was an MMO. There was the world everyone lives in, then there is the VR world. Clear difference.
Same with .hack.
>>
>>140659390
There aren't any real rules in Overlord. He could kill everyone on the planet. Ain't no going back to his world.

No one really sees that stuff but ainz and even then he uses some spell to check it. HP isn't even considered because they one shot everything.

Only time HP or MP are really mentioned is during the Chair fight if I remember correctly.
>>
>>140661385
Most people can't see things like that, and it's more of an approximation of strength and how much their magic potential is.
People don't go around and say they're level 3 or 4. You might be thinking of the stat sheets but those are just for fun, not real things.

They do but it doesn't quite work the same.
For example, you die if your HP hits zero, but you can chop off someone's head and kill them instantly anyway even if you normally aren't strong enough.
Also, nobody can see HP or MP of other people without a special spell designed for specifically checking that stuff and the people in the new world might not even have levels.

Any kind of romantic plot being the main focus.

It's just a waste of time.
Nobody will win, and whatever length the anime/manga goes on for, you know from the get go that no one will win, no one's relationship will change the least bit from the first chapter, and the ending will be an open chapter ending with the words "Our fun life will keep going" or some inane shit like that.

You can't even say you're in it "for the journey".
An indication of how overwhelmingly shitty is anything romance-related anything that Japan shits out is how you can almost always watch the episodes in completely random order and notice absolutely nothing wrong.
