I need to remember for the future the "Makes everyone miserable" genre of anime isn't for me.

Watched a Sumo anime and I am kind of waiting for the main character to stop being a monster to everyone because "charming". I am starting to think this was a weekly joke manga strip that someone frakenstiened into an anime (Abarenbou Kishi!! Matsutari)

Ohh well, Subarashii is up next in the Reelya suggestion Docket (I am trying to hold off on the dark ones... and the time traveling mystery one. I am also leaving Slice of Life alone)

I actually really loved Rowdy Sumo Wrestler Matsutaro, if only because I have a relative who behaves exactly like him, so I understand the mindset the character is built on.

It is more like a pet peeve of mine that I just can't enjoy someone who just so wantonly makes everyone around them miserable. Haruhi is a good example of a well known anime I can't stand because of it.

I guess I could skip it if you could answer me if he ever stops and sort of pulls up his pants.

I will give this anime ONE thing in its favor for me. At least he isn't doing flagrant sexual harassment. Even Haruhi couldn't get through the week without stripping underage girls against their will.

I will say that him and atleast one other character experiences growth, much like in Ashita no Joe, another story of a naturally talented asshole who becomes humbled. I will also say that while the story ends on a climax, the anime is unfinished and I presume you'd need to follow the manga to continue it.

Ohhh noo... Damn it anime... damn it! 

At first I will say I thought he was someone who only gave people respect if they showed it to him, yet that isn't true. He seems to only show respect to people who bend over backwards and treat him.

As well at first I thought he wasn't aware he hurt the people around him, but it seems more that he is willfully blind and prefers not to think about it unless the situation forces his hand (he likes to push situations to their breaking point, not realizing how bad it can be).

As in... He is a real Jerk. Which I am ok with because I thought this was supposed to be a journey. Heck it is refreshing that, at first later on it falls into the "but he is so lovable", they don't even make an excuse for him.

Anime I have watched recently:

Seven Deadly Sins- Pretty good, reminds me of Fairy Tail.

Gate- Damn good, waiting with bated breath for Crunchyroll to stop timelocking the latest episode.

One Punch Man- BFEL is now a fan.

Much good animu recently.

Just popping in to say that it's been announced that Super Robot Wars: Original Generations: The Moon Dwellers will have an english release on the PS4 for Southeast Asian countries. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come in future releases so that the western fanbase can get the mainline crossover entries without having to worry about general liscensing issues and Harmony Gold dickery.

Why do people use Crunchyroll?

Why do people use Crunchyroll?

For the same reason that they praise pro-JSDF ultranationalist propaganda, one would assume. (No, not because it has boobs.)

I don't understand - Crunchyroll is objectively bad because streaming = bad. GATE on the other hand is great anime. Your analogy doesn't hold water.

[Aklyon]

So how does streaming make something bad now, or are we jsut maknig terrible analogies all around? Your post makes no sense.

Why do people use Crunchyroll?

It offers a useful, legal service for the cost of watching a few ads. If it has the thing I want to watch, I don't see why I wouldn't want to use it.

[Reelya]

Crunchyroll has actually been really great for the industry, and for subbers. If you watch a fansub these days, the odds are that it's based on Crunchyroll. Which has a raft of flow-on benefits: did your favorite old show finally get subbed? Well that was probably possible because the subbers are no longer struggling to sub all the new stuff.

In this case because Hulu was 4 episodes behind.

I actually like Crunchyroll. Mostly because it streams nicely on my crappy internet. Admittedly Animelab is better but I don't like their UI.

I also prefer streaming to downloading things because my hard drive is perpetually full and I can't be arsed making room for a bajillion of gigabytes of animus that I'll probably only watch once then forget about.
