It’s damn funny and self aware
That’s almost all isekai today, though. Even the most hackneyed isekai authors are starting to realize the genre has been beaten to death so thoroughly that they must throws some new spin on their trite and the standard these days is “isekai but it’s self-aware!” Even that has been done countless times already.
There’s something really wack with the scale of things in the potion scene. Like, the potion bottles fit comfortably in GS’s hand, meanwhile they appear bigger than the rhea girl’s head who is basically supposed to be hobbit sized but not really smaller than that? Weird.
Overall the art isn’t quite as crisp but it gets the job done, and at the very least there wasn’t any scenes with CGI Slayer (at least not yet, we’ll have to see once we get more action on screen) which is a huge win.
Shield Hero
the content/story is much more mature than Frieren.
Goddamn Robbie Rotten has deeper motivations than any Shield Hero villain.
I’m surprised they didn’t make the list given the general popularity, but let’s be real here, Goblin Slayer is honestly mediocre and Shield Hero has been spiraling down the drain ever since it started.
While I do often feel that way too, it needs to be pointed out that Anime Corner is a bit of a niche site and this reflects only the opinions of 5408 people. Their polls are known to have a bit wack results at times. If you look at other sites, MAL for example has had 25k people rate the list’s top entry, Sousou no Frieren. If you want to truly gauge something’s popularity, it’s worth looking at more than just one site.
No offense to any potential fans but I do have to say how depressing I find it that any even remotely original anime are never getting a second season yet a million cookie cutter faux medieval European fantasy harems are greenlit every day. I get that they produce whatever sells but surely people will have to grow bored of the same thing being done over and over again? Surely…?
Japanese man realizes money is necessary for living in a modern society, more at eleven.
Not to mention, “X’s comeback” and “X’s final work” are a PR team’s wet dream. Why not both and why not multiple times?
Perhaps because people aren’t going around calling others “males” to demean them?
These are not difficult concepts if you turn on your brain.
No one says “women soldiers” except maybe a civilian.
And I’m not telling you to, stop putting words in my mouth. Female as an adjective is fine, “female soldier” is fine, calling a group of human women “females”, as in a noun, is demeaning and incel lingo.
Female/male are used in English as adjectives when describing humans, but as nouns they only refer to animals. “She is a woman” and “She is a female actress” are both okay but calling women “females” is purposefully demeaning and sexist. I do not believe there is any regional difference in this, nor should we really care about such since there are no regions when we’re on a global forum.
I’m from a country with mandatory conscription for men, so yes, I’ve been in the military and I’ve seen the misogyny (among countless other varieties of bigotry) rampant in that system from front row seats. We had a handful of female volunteer conscripts, as well as one of my NCOs was a woman, and it was blatantly obvious they were not recieving the same treatment as the majority of us who were men (and not in a good way, if there was any room for confusion).
Experiences like that are among the key reasons I’m not happy to see people keep perpetuating that kind of behavior, especially in other traditionally male-centric contexts like the IT industry and even here on this forum.
I’d rather sound miserable than incel.
While true, there are some languages that are the wrong tool for every job. JS is one of them. I’ve dreamt of a future where web frontends switched to something sane but instead we got stuff like typescript which is like trying to erect steel beams in quicksand. For web frontends I can understand that historical reasons have lead to this but whoever came up with node thinking JS would be a great backend language has a lot of explaining to do.
“They said”
If only there was some generally agreed upon symbol to denote direct quotes as opposed to paraphrasing an idea in your own words. If only…
they preferred training females
It’s “women”.
They’ve since updated it to allow you to display labels & not condense multiple windows into one button so it’s better than ever. I can’t believe it took until 11 to center the items, left aligning was a literal pain in the neck especially on ultrawide screens.
Which is exactly why you shouldn’t be using them in a situation that clearly calls for a switch.
And there are way too many projects where the documentation is nonexistent or bare to the point of being counterproductive to wade through. I’ve seen way too many open source projects that purport to have documentation but when you open it, it’s just doxygen run over the raw source files with barely any documenting comments in them. If I wanted to see only the names of the classes and functions I’d just pop the source in an IDE, the point of documentation is to point out everything that isn’t immediately obvious just looking at names and to give examples.
“Self-documenting code” is the biggest lie we tell ourselves to get out of writing actual, necessary documentation.
I would agree otherwise as it’s excellent, but Re:Zero is definitely a harem. There’s a designated pairing from the get-go but it doesn’t stop the MC from collecting an army of girls that are all more or less infatuated with him.
