Unpopular Opinions about anime/manga

I actually liked Fate Last Encore. I played the psp game so all the meta plot didn't bother me. The fanservice (both kind) were nice. Wonder if we'll ever get a western release of CCC

Hell, I'll add to this.

I honestly don't understand how anyone finds hentai arousing. Everything about most hentai is a boner-killer.

Its often needlessly gross, to the point that it makes sex look disgusting like an episode of Ren and Stimpy rather than something fun. We don't need to see literally every body fluid or excretion that the makers thinks happens.

A lot of times its clear the artist has never done it and does not know how it works.

Everyone talks like an idiot--especially the men. Guys, tell me, is announcing "I'm gonna cum!" before you actually do a thing that actually happens?

One thing I never fucking understood is "having sex but both participants are still mostly dressed." That just feels wrong to me, and in many cases I can't imagine its actually comfortable for either participant.

There's lots of hentai about rape, and for some reason the rapist is always the most disgusting human being imaginable or else an old man. I don't wanna see naked man-ass at all (just render them as a shadow, like the criminal in Detective Conan) but why go the extra mile and make them something puke-worthy? Especially considering the whole point is imagining you're in their position?

I saw one where a man squeezed a woman's boobs and milk just squirted out. Boobs. Do. Not. Work. That. Way.

Not every sex act you can think of needs to be portrayed. Not every fetish needs to be portrayed.

And finally, I never understood the love for exaggerated proportions like impossible monster boobs.

Just.... its no wonder Japanese men are breeding less, they have an entire industry that basically says "sex is icky and gross" and scares them away. Combine this with normal anime always portraying women as shrill harpies that you will never understand or empathize with, and gee, I wonder why their birth rate is declining, it is SUCH a mystery.

You have it backwards. They aren't having sex because Hentai caters to every fetish they can imagine with fictional women who never grow old and become ugly, never give them crap when they come home from a long twelve hour shift at work, and will always be ready (though not necessarily willing) to anything they want. Its like crack cocaine for coomers.

The pure levels of depravity that some Hentai titles go, makes it understandable why South Korea banned pornography there. That doesn't stop the massive black market for porn there, though, given the lack of severe punishment for distribution or possession. Whereas if they were to implement the death penalty for that, like how Singapore does with drug traffickers, now that would be a massive disincentive.

I like 80s anime so I'm currently watching an obscure anime called Sakigake!! Otokojuku. It's known on youtube as the "manly" anime.

Teenagers are depicted as 30+ year old grown men with extremly large muscles and it's all about fighting and lots of comedy. That sounds interesting and I liked the first few episodes but then I got so bored. The reason for that is the main character - Momotarou Tsurugi , who has to be the biggest Mary Sue - or Manly Sue in this case, in anime history.

He is beating up guys twice his size without training. Everyone else is struggling but he has everything figured out, always. He doesn't need to train, he doesn't need to learn anything. He is perfect in every way. And there is no explanation for why he is that way. And that makes him so fucking boring. Everyone else around him is a billion times more interesting. He has the personality of a piece of cardboard. What a garbage character.

I tried to find an answer for why he is that way and my theory is that the events in the manga are just the imaginations of a coping teen who was send to a private school for being violent. He imagines himself being Momotarou who is stronger and smarter than everyone else. That's why everyone (even animals and objects like planes) are so comically oversized and organizations have names like "super evil corporation".

Man, finally someone who criticized this aspect that I've never seen anyone notice, how the protagonist Mary Sue makes the work a bit boring, most of the criticism of Momotaro that I see out there is how generic his design is, "Teenage Kenshiro" in this case, and your theory about the work makes sense every time you think about it.

There is a scene that takes place in a safari area which is full of giant agressive animals. Every first class student is scared...except Manly Sue of course. An angry Lion appears. What does Manly Sue do? He calmy takes his paw (the Lion conveniently forgets to be a lion and just lets it happen) and removes a thorn because he somehow knows about it instantly. The area is full of dangerous oversized animals but Manly Sue magically knows that this one Lion has a fucking thorn in his fucking paw and also knows that he won't kill him when he touches him. And after that Manly Sue gained a PET LION. 🙄

That was the point when I realized that this character is trash and that he is similiar to the shit characters people are complaining about nowadays.

From the episode I remembered more the joke that the animals noted the obvious that "Japan is much colder than the African Savannas" to the point that I even forgot about Momotaro removing the thorn from the lion's paw

I hate shows that take fan service-y tropes straight from hentai, that shit can really ruin what would otherwise be good episodes/shows entirely.

I won't claim to be an expert on hentai, but isn't that what appeals to people who read/watch it? They can not only self insert, but they can self insert as someone better than who is being depicted.

Unless it's strictly in POV shots, it's the voyeurism aspect of the fantasy that's the most appealing.

Are you telling me people more often fantasize themselves as watchers? I knew this was a thing in hardcore gooner brain addicts, but I didn't think it was commonplace. How can you imagine being a spectator to sex than the one up close in the action?

If the guy getting freaky with the chick(s) has a face and notable personality, they're typically not the self-insert.
