It gives me Unsupervised flashbacks and Adult Swim's attempt to make it a thing.

Modern Berserk is less...edge lordy than it was when it first started. First page is Guts fucking a demon...they had to at some point tone it down. How'd you like Wyald?
Unsupervised was FX.

Wyald probably had my favorite design of all the apostles so far in the story. His fight with Guts was some good shit. Shame we never got to see that animated in any form.
Could've done with the penis tongue though lol

Yea but the only reason I even remember it was the constant commercials that Adult Swim ran on its reruns.

Bruh it's Berserk, get used to penises being where they shouldn't be. It'll take a while for you to get to my favorite Apostle design though.

I'll tell you what I remember.
The main character is raised by a male-male couple. Except not really because only one of them is gay, he just stalked and convinced the other guy (who is heterosexual) to marry him so that he can live as a trophy husband.

Fits right in that animated block on FOX Sunday.

Yea, it started pretty late so we rushed a bit. Plus everyone is a bit tired of talking about Gundam.
The effort to repress AG from my mind...

Fox pushed it hard and to make room for it Fox notoriously delayed fellow newcomer Bobs Burgers to a mid season return. Fox sure knows how to pick them.

Funny thing is I've seen Attack on Titan ads on a couple different channels but they're Crunchyroll advertising it.

Araki picks the best ways to make this shit relevant.
The best thing to happen to Bob's Burgers is that Fox only picked terrible shows to bridge the gap, so they had to keep bringing it back. And now, it's pretty much there as long as they want I imagine.
Gave Bob's Burgers time to find an audience.

To be fair, it's a internet poll and not actually something important. It has about the same objectivity as a GameFAQs poll.
And to be fairer, other than children's shows, movies, and some adaptations, anime's not something a normal person in Japan would regularly watch, due to its association with otaku and perverts. Everybody prefers manga.

So only weebs like anime?
I don't think they're weebs if they're actually in Japan but yeah most anime aren't aimed at a general population
that's why there's so much fanservice anime and other rubbish, it's intended for the niche crowd who'd buy those expensive blu-rays and merch; a normal Japanese person thinks that fanservice is just as stupid and gratuitous as we do.

While it is an internet poll, it was a pretty long running one, and it was run by the biggest TV station in Japan to commemorate the 100th anniversary of anime, so it's about as high profile as an internet poll can possibly be.

So Japan didn't like Kill La Kill?
The real question is where did they put Diamond is not Crash?
High profile for an internet poll still isn't that high profile. Would you bother to go and vote on an online poll just because it's held by the national news channel? I'd just roll my eyes and ignore it, and people in Japan would do the same.
...and then after the results come out, they'd go complain on a forum that the country's taste has gone to shit. That's how it works.

I mean it is, but it's less fan servicey than Freezing and Satsuki and Ryuko aren't ten thousand year old dragons.
Not saying that is the harem shows but that is probably what people think of it
JadedWriter
Member
Is it weird that I really don't watch harem shows? Sure I'm a waifu dude, but none of them are from harem shows.
To be fair, people in America would probably put SAO higher.
People have shit taste all over the world.
JadedWriter

There's an anime that's more fanservice shit then Freezing? How bad can this show be?
Valkyrie Drive beats them both.
you still haven't watched all of cross ange yet, you know
Heh.

This is true, I stopped at ep 13.
Should I be caught in public watching this?
