I mean, there shouldn’t be any wells in anyone’s bedroom

Meanwhile I had to stop playing because I was too scared

OMORI - oh, how I’ve despised every time story sidetracked and I had to go do random unrelated things (mostly fight) in the mindspace. I’ve heard that the other ending explains why things are this way, but I’m not going to play this overstretched shit again. IMO it’s a 10-hour game artificially stretched to 20 (or 40). Also, since they’ve already created pretty much all facial expressions for combat, they could put them into the dialogues.

Both Nier games - I’ve heard that the devs’ previous games didn’t have good combat either, which begs the question of why they decided to turn yet another game into a slog, twice. As for the story, I could predict the events way before things have happened. Maybe I’ve seen too many games that came after and got inspired, since I only played them last year.

Chaos;Head Noah - for the 4chan incel protagonist and all the unnecessary graphic gore. The fact that world ends in pretty much every ending didn’t help, either.

Technically speaking, all images are 2d projections

He’s in full bloom since he quit

I’ve seen a small box that was all mirrors inside you could put your head into in some science center, it’s way better, you have to try it if you have the chance

Maybe she’s just Canadian

Probably red one assumed it’s copied from elsewhere and not original by green

HARRY, NO!

Definitions, according to me:
isekai - someone, usually the protagonist, got transferred to another world
trash isekai - there are about a dozen of extremely similar anime released each year, each being isekai or adjacent
if you watch one, you’ve seen all of them
their defining traits are:

• nice protagonist with “useless” power that is actually overpowered that they unleash when angry
• (hyperbole) protagonist is the greatest, noblest, and fairest creature walking on that world, everyone else is wrong or evil
• harem of archetypes (authors don’t even try to make their characters different) the protagonist is usually not be aware of
• plot where protagonist solves problems on his own in max three episodes
• (often) rpg mechanics that just go “his power is over 9000” with no people planning builds or significant effects on the world or…

Examples include: Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu, Genjitsu Shugi Yuusha no Oukoku Saikenki
While they are called this way, I know a person who watches them because they don’t have to focus and still have some dumb fun.

battler - anime focused on battles, I’m pretty sure Dragon Ball: Z falls into this territory, but I’m basing that on two random episodes I’ve seen and everything I’ve heard over the years
season - most anime air in 12 or 24 episode parts, 1 episode per week, starting and ending within 2 weeks of each other, hence they are grouped into 4 seasons per year
VN - visual novel, basically a book with pictures and sound; you’d be surprised how many get adapted

I’ll begin with where NOT to start:

• Gintama - it’s a parody referring a lot to anime, manga, and japanese culture from its age, although it has a Donald Zuramp joke too; well worth trying once you get to know some classics, don’t even need to finish them
• KonoSuba, Isekai Ojisan, Meikyuu Black Company, Shinchou Yuusha - they parody specifically trash isekai, watch one or two before jumping in
• Mushoku Tensei - perverted 40 year old mind in child’s body, even I had problems watching the first two seasons with over 150 titles (counting seasons individually) watched back then

Decent starts:

• Black Clover - good, long battler (170 episodes and counting); share my pain of waiting for continuation
• Dr. Stone - finished last season, mostly kept the same level throughout, but over time we got less science stuff; whole thing is about speedrunning from stone age to space age
• Dungeon Meshi - extremely good worldbuilding and the story gets better over time
• Helck - comedy and dark fantasy
• Shiguang Dailiren - the best anime about time travel
• Gyakkyou Burai Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor - two seasons of extreme gambling, CW: self-harm, torture
• Re: Zero - going back in time after you die isn’t the most pleasant experience when you have no other powers; CW: gore
• Ansatsu Kyoushitsu - comedy with good plot, some action and drama
• Initial D - fear not the ass 3D and potato faces, for you come for the music and racing, then stay for the story
• Mairimashita! Iruma-kun - good for calming yourself down, 4th season currently on air
• Paripi Koumei - grand strategist acts like a grand strategist to help a random girl with her musical career

Comedies, the weirder the better:

• parodies from the first section
• Asobi Asobase - you’d think that it’s a slice of life; what a fool you are
• Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu - the vampire dies in no time, then comes back to life, then dies again because a dog barked too loud
• Mattaku Saikin no Tantei to Kitara - just watch the trailer; slight focus on parodying detective stories, unless I’m an ignorant and missed too many jokes
• Saiki Kusuo no Psi-nan - super powers are such a hassle to have
• Seto no Hanayome - my bride is a mermaid, and her mafia family wants me dead
• Youkai Gakkou no Sensei Hajimemashita! - guy who is scared of mere thought of human hooligans is forced to teach in a ghost school
• Detroit Metal City - Metalocalypse: Deathclock, but anime; very american adult cartoon humor, budget of a 6-pack of instant noodles per episode

Other recommendations:

• Mob Psycho 100 - three seasons of absolute cinema where super powers don’t make you super happy; give me back the evil kazoo theme
• One Punch Man - as above, it’s even by the same author, but uhh… hope for a remake of the third season… and maybe second (I like them anyway, 'cause I’m a fanboy). First is the best it could be, though.
• Hellsing Ultimate - BLOOD
• Teogonia - battler with an interesting world, isekai element shoved in to justify protag’s overpowered ability
• Steins;Gate - another good anime about time travel; I’ve played the remake, but anime is generally praised; avoid Chaos;Child like fire, once again only played the VN, but others say anime is bad compared to VN, and I say VN is shit for all the unnecessary gore and annoying protagonist, even if the concept itself was interesting
• Undead Unluck - once again a battler with an interesting world, this time without isekai
• Sonny Boy - you watch an episode, then spend a week trying to understand WTF did you just see
• JoJo - it really is its own thing among battlers, personally didn’t like it, but it’s popular for a reason
• Under Ninja - battler where weapons are actually lethal
• Ragna Crimson - high highs and low lows, battler with interesting pair of main characters
• Monster - it’s similar to western media, even the events start in Germany
• The Fable - assassin needs to hide for some time, goes to work for the lowest wage, problems arise in the neighborhood; very well paced, has some really tense moments
• Gachiakuta, Jigokuraku Jujutsu Kaisen, Kimetsu no Yaiba - good battlers
• Tensai Ouji no Akaji Kokka Saisei Jutsu - best attempt at fantasy grand politics I’ve seen to date; still too simplified
• Code Geass - best grand politics I know, this one is deeper, only watched the main series consisting of two seasons

If it was named “Coloredo”, they would only see “o”

So, tunnel throat?

We don’t know how much energy time travel uses so it might have proven insufficient

Probably had a battery or something

Gundam Evolution has been censoring the word “corn”

So you’ve seen Gundam Uni**** in the chat

Turron, turron, turron

I’m aware it’s a typo, but ", " looks like someone badly painted white over “fl”

Are we censoring influence now? /j
