What am I doing with my life

 

[ShinRPGamer]

 

[Shard]

My razor blade doesn't have this much edge.

 

[Raxus]

This is hilarious. From the direction to the writing. It is so ass backwards.

 

[MetatronM]

How did you not know he was going to kill them both, you idiot?

 

[Crocodile]

 

[Morlas]

this guy is way too over the top for me to take this seriously

 

[ckohler]

This is shit.

 

[ramoisdead]

I'd watch Tokyo Ghoul over KLK. Not a popular opinion, but KLK makes me uncomfortable as fuck.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

If you say I'd choose Tokyo Ghoul over Akami Ga Kill, then yeah alright I can see that. But over KLK???

 

[BBboy20]

They're not ghouls?

 

[Schadenfreude]

What even is this, you guys? It's so stupid and bad for no reason. I'm getting actually angry about this.

 

[Zonic]

I don't think even Akame ga Kill got these kinds of reactions for you guys

This is on par with SAO.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I... I mean I...

 

[Doctor Decimate]

there's so many EXTREME reaction faces that it's getting sort of comical

which to be fair is kind of an issue the manga runs into around here

 

[B-Dubs]

I don't think even Akame ga Kill got these kinds of reactions for you guys

This is on par with SAO.

At least SAO was funny in how bad it was.

 

[Mik317]

bascially you are a dumbass bitch

 

[BBboy20]

I'm not even angry about this.

I had zero expectations to begin with.

Once again: what, Rize?

 

[Xe4]

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

If you say I'd choose Tokyo Ghoul over Akami Ga Kill, then yeah alright I can see that. But over KLK???

I stopped watching KLK after 2 episodes, and never want to go back. Way over the top fanservice is just gross to me. I can't explain it, it just fucking bugs me and I turn it off.

Shame too, I liked the characters and over the topness of some of KLK.

 

[ramoisdead]

The worst thing about seeing that scene is an explanation for that scene.

And I think SAO is better than this.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Actually, Rize, he would have killed them both anyway, because he's like that.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

THIS

FUCKING

SHOW

The facial expressions alone are meme worthy

 

[Crocodile]

What is the end goal of all this? Kaneko goes Super Sayian and kills the bad guys? Do we have to go through all of this? This isn't deep, this is dumb!

 

[Mizerman]

I don't think even Akame ga Kill got these kinds of reactions for you guys

This is on par with SAO.

AgK got "lol wat" reactions throughout its reign. This has a flat out "...wut" written all over it.

 

[Shard]

I might need to look up some new words to describe how bored I am with this.

 

[Schadenfreude]

This is like the ending episode of Eva but in the end no one, not even the animators or the mangaka, gets congratulated.

 

[Seda]

Okay I'm trying to actually understand what the point of this is. We have one character blaming Kaneki for everything bad that is happening. Are we supposed to feel the Kaneki made mistakes or that he has some agency here that he's not acting on? Are we supposed to feel simply that these are manipulative villains?

 

[B-Dubs]

We get it, you want to break his brain. There's easier ways to do that than torture porn.

The writer wants to break Kaneki down so he can be rebuilt, but the issue is there's nothing to break down so it all comes off as flat. He's been a vanilla milquetoast MC with no agency from the start, none of this was needed to change him in the way they want to.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I didn't even get "actually" mad at any of the awful SAO stuff.

But... I think I'm getting mad at this... actually, I think I'm pretty sure I am.

Wow.

I'm actually looking at this show and going "How fucking dare you..."

I'll admit the fanservice can be a bit over the top, but the characters in KLK are 100x better than this shit I'm seeing.

 

[Morlas]

so when does kaneki go berserk and kill jason

 

[BBboy20]

Ok, can they do a better job showing actual deaths of ghouls due to the whole regen thing? Cracking necks and stabbings won't be enough.

 

[Zonic]

oh man, guys, it's all symbolic & shit

the world isn't black & white, it's actually a big shade of grey

just like my psychology 101 class taught me

 

[TheGameshark]

It's like they were totally unaware of how edgy this is when they made it.

 

[aspiegamer]

At least SAO was funny in how bad it was.

I could hate watch SAO flame videos for days! At the same time, I have no energy and no desire to waste a single additional thought on this horrible show. There's nothing to laugh at here, other than the absurdity. People suffering isn't entertaining to watch, even ironically.

 

[Raxus]

He could show him this episode.

[ramoisdead]

I rather hear Eren angry again. That's how bad this shit is.

 

[Shard]

What the fuck is this shit?

 

[traffiktiger]

I wish Lupin was on in Ghoul's spot.

 

[Seda]

Okay so Kaneki has to show resolve and suddenly everything will be better!

 

[Mik317]

what is the lesson we are supposed to learn here? Be an asshole or else some other asshole will torture you?

wut

 

[Grexeno]

I miss One Piece

 

[BatDan]

For the record
The part where Jason kills the two to torture Kaneki had more weight in the manga, because he met the two before. For some reason they cut it out.

Why they couldn't do an adaptation that followed the manga closer I don't know. It's clear those are the kinds people like.

 

[MetatronM]

I don't think even Akame ga Kill got these kinds of reactions for you guys

SAO was entertaining.

Something in the manga here that makes somewhat more sense is that after an escape attempt, Kaneki agrees to give up without a fight to Jason in exchange for Banjo and his pals going free. He believes they were set free until they get wheeled out around here for that choice.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

NOW THE REAL FUN STARTS

 

[Zonic]

OH MY GOD

KANAKI, WHAT'RE YOU GONNA DO TO RIZE

 

[B-Dubs]

Okay so Kaneki has to show resolve and suddenly everything will be better!

They want to make his character be more proactive and give him some agency, only none of this was needed to do that.

Because to save time and they only care for the Akame ga kill audience

 

[Xe4]

It absolutely has better characters. And better everything, shit. This is awful, but it doesn't matter if KLK repulses me to the point of me turning it off.

It's how I'm sure many are feeling watching this scene.
