Essential What Anime are you currently watching?

They got a mother fukker named Bakugo. If that ain't swagged out then what is. Not to mention All Might. His fight at the end of season 1 was lit as fukk. Endeavor has a beard made of flames. On top of it all they're just cool ass cats. Deku is one of the more root for kinda guys I've seen in an anime ina min. You don't have to agree but you going too far with that statement.

Bakugo takes Ls constantly

All Might is aite, but he ain't carrying a whole cast.

Endeavor is a rapist and child abuser

Again, Aizen was making people want to commit that mid-fight off bars alone. One Piece got arcs better than this entire plotline so far. If we're lucky, MAYBE All Might will go out like Kamina did and give this series some weight.

As is, its a okay show with better animation and push than it deserves. if KINGDOM got this kind of support then fukk...

The animation and push it gets is a huge reason I give it as much props as I do. Bones is a great, great studio. The reason I can't even get into Kingdom is because of the piss poor production, even though I've heard great praise for it.

Exactly my point.

The production is better than anything in the script.

What major characters were killed off in FMA? I mean besides the one character that was made to be killed off early on.

I can only think of 1,2 that were killed off in something like One Piece before I took a hiatus from it in 2010 and it was wildly popular.

You can't compare 1 and 2 to zero. Even 1 woukd be enough. No one's saying the whole cast needs to die

Is Boku halfway over? One Piece started in what 1997 and experienced it's first major death in 2010 so it took about 13 years for someone major to die and arguably the character that died was a background character that had relation to the main character but wasn't in the main cast.

Naruto was 1997. First major death I can remember was 2003 when the 3rd died so that's like 6 years.

Boku has been going like 3 years. Really I haven't started Boku yet but I keep seeing it compared to series much further along that it is. Some of these series took a long time to kill a character and many of them never killed one of the core characters. By core characters it would be One Piece killing off one of the Straw Hats or Naruto killing off one of Team 7 for example. Most Manga don't have the balls to kill off a core character so they kill off somebody in a supporting role. Some stuff like DBZ doesn't actually kill off anybody because they just undo the death.

Death isn't required for quality.

I never vouched for the script. I said from the get go, Boku is great at what it does. It has a fun premise with good characters and good music/production. It's entertaining as fukk. It's not dragged out like a lot of other shounen. Next level storytelling is not really near the top of my list when it comes to anime. When it comes to an all around package you can't go wrong with FMA: Brotherhood. Insane how well written that is. But for me and my tastes, Boku is . Give me them Tourny arcs and other shounen tropes and I'm happy.

But tension is. There is none in Boku.

Your argument doesn't hold up when One Piece took 13 years to kill someone off and is still a top notch series.

Boku is too new. Bleach was well over 4 years in before the SS arc ended and it started to show some signs of going off the rails. People liked Bleach well enough in the SS arc. Ask them how they feel about it now.

I love boku but it's still ongoing and I can't put that in elite tier just yet let alone nothing significant enough has happened yet

There are shows that are around 60 eps that are great but they were done and completed and had major shyt going on

This one still feels fresh granted I haven't read the manga yet

Aot has more at stake when watching compared boku

Once boku has something serious at stake and it doesn't necessarily have to be death for me I can see it rising higher for me until we get a serious enough arc too me it has great potential but needs time to flesh out shyt

Was that your initial arguement? And does pacing not matter? Doesnt matter if its halfway over or not. You cant compare 1 or 2 deaths to no deaths. Regardless they are all very different animes. A death is just something that would help THIS anime gain some depth that it's sorely missing imo.

Also Death isn't required for quality but there's a level of urgency Boku will never get to until real stakes are created. Especially in a battle type anime. This doesn't even mean anyone has to die. This isn't even my problem with Boku tho. I'm just going off of what @42 Monks was saying and I agree.

And to counter your points one piece is not a comparable anime to Boku. I feel like the tone is completely different. One piece is all about the adventure, the pirates life etc. It was supposed to be light imo.

Also the feel of Boku and Naruto are world's apart. There's a weight to the initial storyline Boku doesn't have regardless of death. Both Naruto and Sasuke being orphans. Naruto being isolated. And to me the first major death was haku and zabuza. That was huge imo. They might not have been the heroes but those deaths resonated early on in the series.

I think one big problem with boku is that it goes through arcs fast af. I think that's the biggest problem it has. It seems rushed. They can never set up proper stakes. It's like it's going through the motions.

 

[I AM WARHOL]

The belief that someone can die or be in real danger is essential for tension - film 101, no action without danger

the entire cast is plot proof

at least in FMA, the bros could take a real assbeating and have to sit there and stomach it, develop, show fear, etc

deku been taking more senzu beans than goku

Fairy tail esque with the plot armor

One piece is not comparable to any other anime. Period

There it is couldn't put my finger on it but u hit it on the head I've only seen the anime not read the manga but the arcs are fast where nothing is fleshed out or really set up
I don't know how many eps it was but the future trunks arc in super is a ex of not too many eps but fleshed out has serious stakes that brought a dark tone to dragon ball super never had

Boku could use that for a anime bout superheroes doesn't need to be a damn 100 ep arc a 30 ep arc that gets to the point pretty much

 

[twan83]

Just check 29 eps for the future trunks arc
Had serious tone straight to the point
Boku could use that many eps for a arc
Not 8 eps
