updated list, for me to keep track of
i definitely will not finish everything, seeing as i've only gotten through half my original list from eight months ago (i even dropped gintama)
@Snail_Relit we’re calling the kizu direction “artslop” while generalizing all fanservice as valuable.
straight nonsense. at least you don’t betray yourself..
@Snail_Relit i dont even know why im still trying to reason with some degen who can only think with his dick.
this proved my main gripe with mono’s anime, at least, which is that it panders towards these kinds of individuals.
what a shame for a really well written work to have this fanbase.
@Snail_Relit if the value is getting lolicons like you invested, then maybe you’re right.
i’m talking about the work’s worth and quality, unfortunately.
it is SO ignorant to call fanservice valuable no matter what. the value is maybe monetary from the merchandise sold though, if anything.
@Snail_Relit because its an entire fucking structural mechanic you derive off a single extended pun.
is it that hard for you to see as a massive stretch?
@Snail_Relit monogatari being a parody and self-aware in comedic forms does not devalue its critical appeal. “fanservice” by a character’s voice can inherently be seen as a service towards their own character, which is the majority of “fanservice” in monogatari, hence it holds significance
@Snail_Relit fanservice in its definition as pandering to the audience’s desires, more commonly in japanese works sexually, is the what I am evaluating—without value or integrity might I add. nisio does none of this, no matter what irony he tries to portray, not in a fashion that lacks value
