How is Spy x Family so low?
It’s pretty much the only anime on this list that is known by mainstream audience.
Spy x Family is basically just a sitcom, after the initial setup there really wasn’t much overall story or character growth. That’s totally fine, but it’s not really going to generate a lot of buzz each week.
Isn’t Jujutsu kaisen also mainstream?
I think so, yeah. But it definetly falls behind Spy x Family.
That anime turned a whole generation of little girls into anime fans, including my sister. 👧🏻
Isn’t Eminence also known by mainstream? Everyone was going crazy over it like it was the next DragonBall or Naruto when season one was airing.
It’s the first time i’ve heard of it.
That being said, i don’t consider myself neither a mainstream user nor an otaku. 😅
Glad to see Dr. Stone hanging around.
Hm, I had written off Ragna Crimson and Berserk of Gluttony based on instinct, but it looks like they might be worth a try.
Update: I’ve now watched the available episodes of Berserk of Gluttony and Ragna Crimson. Both are good fun.
Berserk of Gluttony so far has not been much more than an edgy fantasy power-fantasy. But it’s executed well and has been enjoyable. I think it’s a little darker than the typical power-fantasy. The bad-guys are laughably evil and I’m not sure if the plot is going anywhere interesting.
Ragna Crimson is more story focused. I supposed this show also has the makings of a power-fantasy, but it has not leaned too heavily into the wish fulfillment aspect. The characters are more interesting. The bad-guys are also laughably evil here, but in a way that’s more pure (literally being monsters helps, I guess), and thus a bit more horrifying. Every reward has a price, and you often do not know what that price actually is.
I just finished playing Drakengard, and then your comment has yet thrown me into more dark fantasy worlds.
When does the pain end!?
When does the pain end!?
From my experience: never. A lot of shows stop airing before they reach a significant resolution, only to be replaced next season with more shows with new problems. You gotta drop the take-your-lumps, horror, thriller, and melodrama shows if you want a respite from the pain.
Berserk of Gluttony seems like an isekai without the pretense. I personally don’t feel like much new ground is being covered yet, but I was only two episodes in. The idea is interesting, and I’d like to see where it is going.
I’ve now checked out the 3 available episodes of Berserk of Gluttony. From what I’ve seen I don’t expect it to tell a particularly interesting story, but it has been fun to watch.
Based on this top 10, I started watching Kingdoms of Ruin. I don’t get it. The basis of the premise (magic is outdated, so let’s kill the witches) doesn’t make a lick of sense and the humans are so cartoonishly evil. It’s so obvious they’re only trying to make the viewer angry.
