fridayteenage Posted yesterday at 04:40 AM Share Posted yesterday at 04:40 AM finished hikaru no go. it's...okay. super anticlimactic ending that felt like the writer just got bored and stopped. I can see why the last arc was never adapted. also the main appeal of the series goes mia two-thirds in. and supporting characters tend to be only somewhat developed before they're dropped and forgotten.

However you are correct most just watch anime to see mindless haphazard drivel carried by animation and flashy fight sequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean a grandma ghost living in a school-boy's p*nis is enough to deter me from watching this sh*t ever again LOL Also that school-girl was about to get r*ped and bred by aliens with metallic d*cks.

Yeah I pass ...I get your reasons but trust me it happens only in the first chapter Dandadan has the same issue as Undead Unluck by having a pervy first chapter that can put off some people while the rest of the story is very much normal in comparison Spoiler But the penіs/balls aspect is present throughout the story but not in a pervy way like, at all Edited 11 hours ago by illia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I pass It's 10000% not a trash shonen, I needed to be sure so I picked up the manga and it's very much a found family story. The raunchiness was likely just a a quirky hook but from where I am (which is still early and introducing the main cast) all of that is not relevant to the core themes and messaging and drops off hard as more members are introduced. im a sucker for found family trope so if that's not your thing you might not care. Both the MCs are honestly a breath of fresh air so far. And Ken/Okarun remind me a lot of some of my favorite shonen MC (Gintoki/Hinata) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiidish Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago When I'm interested in a shonen I immediately pick up the manga to decide whether or not my time is gonna be wasted invested into it. Demon Slayer (complete gutter trash) JJK (waste of time) MHA (complete story and high peaks) CSM (some of the best arcs ever just sometimes very drawn out and extended payoff ala One Piece) DanDanDan so far is fixing some of the problems I noticed with JJK, MHA, and CSM. It keeps a serious tone for the age demographic without going heavy Disney feeling like MHA did early on. It has REAL WRITING and CHARACTER ARCS unlike JJK and Demon slayer. And the pacing is not linear without being drawn out like CSM. I think goofiness and annoying tropes like pervy jokes are par for the course for the genre b it like I said it definitely drops off (like most other shonen also end up dropping it). Blame it on the editors, but I'd say at least follow the three episode rule before you write it off. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
