I found Grimgar's depiction of women to be substantially more regressive than its contemporaries. In its medium. In its stupid trapped in a game genre. In the shared Winter season. There is a baser level of objectification here with the absence of character motivation that strips away even the tiniest hint of self interest or talent. Of the two girl characters one is "bad with words" and the other is afraid to talk to men. They don't even get a voice.
This was one of my major issue with the show, but also one of the places that gave me hope for the show. I would love to see Yume and Shihoru get their confidence and become actual characters instead of the sex objects they are as the story stands now.
I don't think that is going to happen, but if it does I'll buy a boxset out of shock.
Anyone who has seen his past works knows that Ryosuke Nakamura is a great director but a terrible writer. It's a real shame he decided to write himself instead of leaving that to people more suitable for the job.
It'd be wrong to just blame the writing for the problems in Grimgar. There's plenty to complain about with the storyboarding and direction too, it's not the writer putting in all the obnoxious male gaze and shots of girls' asses.
Hey Cornbread78, can you not spam an ad every 4-5 hours? If people are interested, they'll join in, if people are not, well then they're not. It's kinda annoying seeing the same post and gif pop up every couple of pages.

Mmmm, yes this is that brand of despair I know and love so god damn much. Seeing Katia's annoying optimism get shattered was amazing. Its like these people forget that you know fuck trying to get your countries to play nice and get everyone free and happy, how about you remember the fucking aliens currently wrecking your shit in and humanity without any real means of stopping them right now.
Don't meme on me like this. The minutiae of where they are is irrelevant. The world itself is gameifyed. They are saving money to learn abilities. They have to register with some stupid guild. Rewards are guaranteed from killing monsters.

Some of it is certainly game like, but at the same time, there are no levels or experience points or anything like that. They have to actually physically train to learn skills it seems (spending 8 silver for a 1 week crash course to learn the basics of the basics). There don't seem to be stats etc.
I would say it's more transported to a fantasy world than trapped in a game type of thing. I could see both sides though.
If a "regular" fantasy show starts to insert game mechanics into the entire set up and the way the world operates it stops being a regular fantasy world.
Well, that was some damn good closure to thus ride. I love the "against all odds" mentality of those final episodes. Not only from William and Emma, but also from Mr. Jounes as well. That epilogue scene
when he tells Mr.Campbell off was great. He finally stands up for William and sees it his way, beautiful.
The historical foreshadowing of that moment was really good too. And that ending; my goodness it was beautiful writing. It ended completely different from the way I was expecting.
The sad undertones of the series had me fooled, I had no idea they would end up together, I thought it was inevitable they wouldn't be able to solve the social issues and make it work, but William manned up and eased Emma's concerns in regards to that as well as the fear of William wavering in his feelings for her.
I got a hand it to yeah, John Blade, at times it is kinda slow paced, but it's definitely a worthwhile experience in the end.
Anyway, with that being said, why is Hakim still there, lol. He was a great best bro..
Narag u ass you tricked me this is just the preview for 4.44 (as it was known at the time) that played at the end of 3.33 but with Ode to Joy instead of the voiceover

Wait, it's this year? I thought Anno was too busy with that Godzilla movie to work on it.
How involved is Anno with the Rebuild movies anyway? I've seen Kazuya Tsurumaki's name attached to the first two as director, and I know Mahiro Maeda did some sort of directing on the third. What's the breakdown on who's doing what here?
The fact that we have heard nothing - literally nothing - about 3.0 + 1.0 except for the name change fills me with so much hope*. We all assume that it will be a sequel to 3.33 and be the last Rebuild but I don't even think that anymore.

Oh i guess there are too much trapped in MMO series in recent years, so if there is a show about a person(group of people for Grimgar) transported to a Fantasy world, you automatic think this must me trapped in MMO series, right?
Not your fault you think like that though, of course.

I think those specific conventions lean more towards a game world than a fantasy world.
Something like Log Horizon blurs the line, perhaps, but those specific conventions evoke game more than fantasy. You could wholescale replace the background with sci-fi shit and if you were doing the same thing I'd still call it a game world.
On further investigation, it's is the only video uploaded by the official-looking Khara Youtube account, and there's no mention of the video or the announcement on the official webpage that the video directs you towards, so yes, it's probably fake.

I'm just saying it is quite different than typical 'trapped in game' series.
If at some point it gets revealed they are in a fantasy world, or that they are in a game world, then I wouldn't be surprised either way, because I see leanings in both direction.
Gamefied is something for DanMachi.
Like "buy the skill" in Grimgar not just simply buy it, it's you pay for the lesson and spend days to learn the skill from teacher.

Honestly grimgar has its issues but I appreciate that they're jobbers who don't know how to use their respective weapons well. I don't appreciate that they aren't really practicing in their free time to get better. You should get the message by now if you're struggling to kill goblins that you suck. Create a régimen to improve yourself.
Scroll to #8708 first and click the link and see if you can take that level of fan service first, if you can then go for it.
(Picture's show isn't Grimgar but it's one of Grimgar director previous work)
