weird

are you new to anime or something?
this is barely even edgy or popular for that matter

MAL makes for the easiest game of “Spot the Idiot”

rightt i'm just blind to your superior metrics for judging anime and how "weird" new releases are because i've been watching for longer. makes total sense.

I agree with what you said about Solo Leveling, but dude.. Wind Breaker -- edgy? How? Like generally speaking, I'm curious. This was a really upbeat and fun first episode. I didn't feel anything was edgy whatsoever. It just sounds like you don't really find this show to be your piece of media, and that's fine obvs but labelling it with the keyword "Edgy" just because of the main characters past (Who mind you, seems to be a really upbeat and hard headed guy, not remotely acting edgy and "mysterious" like someone such as Sung Jin Woo.) is a little random.

You sound like this is the first shonen you've seen about a guy who "wants to be hokage." There's a reason why this Naruto's goal I mentioned has become such a big meme in the anime community. Battle shonens basically idealize the teenage desire to become the strongest and best. It's like a mirror of the idealization of romance in shoujo.

@nwssx Complaining about edgy teenagers and fujoshi, while having Durarara, Gatari and Madoka in your favorites is quite ironic. Also, I understand that anime audiences in the West are somewhat older than those in Japan historically, but that doesn't make the prejudice against shonen anime any more ignorant.

that's not the point. my claim is that shows like WIND BREAKER don't even make an effort to pull off a decent story, because authors are aware that the rule of cool (or simply a full bishounen cast) makes up for it, monogatari and madoka magica are backed by a strong directorial identity and solid writing; also, I dont have DRRR in my favs

@nwssx You're ignoring that different genres require different stories. Not to mention, the logic of "it wasn't made for me, therefore it was made without effort and care" is flawed and assumes that only shows aimed at you are good. You just like a different type of narrative and style, but that doesn't make the work objectively worse or better outside of your personal tastes (let's not even get started on the fact that Madoka and Monogatari are far from the most ideal tools for arguing about tastes). Wind Breaker is a classic battle shonen about martial arts and delinquents and the plot works great for that at the moment.

The show itself, yes. But you also have in your favorites one of its characters, who is part of an extremely popular BL ship and even the author himself accepted this, publishing comic doujinshi about it on his blog. Complaining about "content made for fujoshi" under this is really ironic. Although not as ironic as complaints about a full bishonens cast from someone who loves CGDCT and all-female franchises. After all, they will definitely never rely on a full bishoujo cast (and hime joshi), lol.

@koumoua Seriously? Are you comparing the first episode of a little-known battle shonen with the 3rd season of an overhype show that has already become a classic? Compared to Rimuru, two thirds of this season's shows could be considered unpopular lol.

@thebrentinator24 I think you have to differentiate between elitism and false elitism. When people simply do not understand how different genres work and how they differ from each other, or consider animation, or specific animation, to be the only measure of anime quality, then this is more likely the second case than the first. Some people just want to feel special and superior to others, even when it comes to what anime they watch.

except this show is genuinely garbage and terribly written. its not a matter of genre, it's a matter of garbage comics getting some of the best names in the industry, which is a total waste of talent. fine if you're okay with this, but if you're aware of the potential of this medium then you'd realize how sad the situation is

@Fearfesse I never said I didn't like new anime, frieren and cyberpunk were good

@thebrentinator24 I don't think I have elite taste. I just love anime with great storylines. Solo leveling or other crap bores me.

@RobertBobert I don't feel special, people can't understand that not everyone who watches logh thinks they have elite taste. and yes you are right that if you don't like an anime it doesn't mean it's bad, but you can look at the situation objectively just as i see logh's flaws and i could list them for you.

@zennino You are simply wrong, not every story written is good and not every creator should be seen as an artist. We are all just human beings

I don't understand what's edgy about it. Kids these days throw around words without knowing what they even mean. They completely lost their meaning.

I wouldn't call Sakura edgy. Jinwoo is edgy. Sasuke is edgy. Kirito is edgy. Sakura is literally a cinnamon roll who acts tough, but not without having the skills to back it up. The show literally established all of that in the very first episode, more than once even. And I like his character for exactly that.

I love how people tend to act all "edgy" themselves by throwing around that they have now become an adult and adults do not like these things, all while feeling cool saying that.

I also don't understand what people mean when they say "there is no plot". Sakura wanting to get to the top, to fight strong people while making friends along the way despite him saying he doesn't need any, because that's the mindset he got after being shunned all his life. Fighting for recognition. That IS the plot. The MC literally explained the plot to you, MORE THAN ONCE, in the first two episodes.

Just because there is no magic, and the MC isn't pulled into some grand web of complex strings of storylines that lead into some epic tale that questions the meaning of life, doesn't mean there is no plot.

@Vedrun "Sakura wanting to get to the top, to fight strong people while making friends along the way despite him saying he doesn't need any, because that's the mindset he got after being shunned all his life. Fighting for recognition. That IS the plot." Ah what an outstanding storyline leading to reflection. It's not at all like any person who can think would write it, and this "plot" has been used in so many works.

besides, I love it when someone older uses the word kid to belittle someone it's just a show of intelligence :D

@leyaf that doesn't have anything to do with intelligence. It was simply a general observation. And I like annoying people back when they annoy me.

This isn't about the plot being anything outstanding or special. I never said it was. You said the plot doesn't exist, and I told you what the plot was to proof it had a plot.

@Vedrun if I have upset you by making a statement on the forum then I suggest you work on yourself :D

By "plot does not exist" I meant that it is simply poor and unremarkable, I thought everyone would understand that.

@leyaf I wouldn't call being mildly annoyed by people's statements "upset", but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Makes totally sense that everyone would take your statement as something totally different than what it said.

And I did say I don't understand what people mean by "there is no plot". You could've just explained it before getting passive aggressive and arguing about totally unrelated things.

Maybe be more direct with how you mean things on the Internet when you start discussions you're clearly not open for.

Actually this is a breath of fresh air here. Just a light shounen which is more Haikyuu than Naruto tbh, and that is why I am watching it

Bro I’m telling you rn just drop this, it’s beyond trash it’s a rip off of Tokyo Revengers and that show SUCKS and it’s edgy asf for little kids like I’m talking about for 7 year olds this shit is the bottom of the barrel trash it’s disgusting honestly. Solo Leveling is top tier trash same with this bullshit ass of an anime idk why you’d want to spend your time on it bro, gain some self respect and watch something better than this bullshit like I feel so bad and pity tf outta you for even wasting a second of this garbage ass anime🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮🤢🤮
