"Erm acturally shes canonically 100,000,000 years old, she just has the body of a 14 year old" -☝️🤓
Maybe because I got into anime from Toonami and adult swim, but I never been subjected nor had an interest in this kind of anime. It always seems corny. Then again I’m more of a sci fi/space/giant robot kind of guy. The space colonies that are like biodome like cities are the coolest
I hate this, e.g. the pairing of Buffy with the 400-year-old Angel. Vampire romance stories are full of this shit and it's so creepy.
Its pedophilia, quite blatantly it should be banned
Honestly the century old vampire entrancing pretty young women is a standard vampire story trope. See just about every vampire story.
The depiction of pedophilia is not against the law as far as I'm aware. Not in Canada at least. I don't really think Buffy the Vampire Slayer should be banned.
I like the story of afrutera but the female lead is a child like several hundred year old girl. Male lead is a teen schoolboy and they bang... Also added a other female protagonist to the party that's well endowed because boobs.
I like parts of this show but it is just super generic harem anime a lot of the time and not really that good.

a new body for that one healerMajor complaint:
One time I literally paused the show, it was when they get this random dude in the desert.
He's in the backseat of the truck and I paused it thinking "why is this scene wrong"
That's like the only time I remember a guy ever being in the backseat, it's like only ever been female love-interests that are part of his (not-a-)harem. They have so many characters (literally the whole class got isekai'd) but no one gets much screen time unless they're Yue or a girl with a huge bust that gets added to the not-a-harem
Yeah I get you.
What I like is the fact that the protagonist has a underrated skill and ends up using his earth knowledge and creation skills to make fun shit.
Crafting with the combination of magic and tech is uncommon. Also under dog struggled to survive. He's not OP out of the gate. Lost his arm early on and ate rotten meat to survive. Not sure I'd survive the shit he went through in the beginning.
It gets real generic and fan service-y after the setup. Also the "underage" vampire...
The setup is better than say, Solo Leveling, but once its done it gets a lot blander just like Solo Leveling.
Granted Solo Leveling has way more issues and is 90% carried by good animation.
I also think the protagonist from Arifureta has a really cool niche ability but it really is not used creatively. For all intents and purposes after the first dungeon his power is "gun" (with "gun" being flexible) and sometimes vehicles or a shield, all of which he got from first dungeon iirc.
It's creative in a sense that he made firearms out of essentially just magic and knowledge but like... it never evolved past that. Hell I'd take a dust explosion every once in a while or something, thermite, acid. But the focus was "aura" and edginess rather than a compelling or clever protagonist.
That said I still plan to finish the newest season and will prob watch whatever comes out next. The aesthetic got me and ig thats the point
