Re: Anime-related pet peeves

[nonnymouscawitz]

Every protaganist is a fifteen year old middle schooler. Saving the world? Middle School. Time travel? Middle school. Falling in love? Middle school. Leader of the rebellion? Middle School. Hunger Games Before The Hunger Games? Middle school.

It would be nice to see young teens acting their age and maybe older teens being the ones involved in the darker stuff, but at this point I'd be happy if they were literally any age but fifteen, why is it always fifteen?

Not only that, they all have the exact same seat in their school classrooms! Second to the back row, right next to the window. :D

Don't forget, the boys are almost failing average joes with two best friends who are comic relief guys and a crush on a girl who they percieve to be out of their league, who totally obviously likes them. If the protaganist is a girl, they will be shy and clumsy, often with a best girl friend and a creepy guy 'friend' who has an inappropriate crush on them, though that's not as all-encompassing as the clumsy shy girl who eventually comes out of her shell via plot-as-metaphor-for-coming-of-age.

Yes, thank you. It drives me crazy!
That's part of the reason that for a while I was super satisfied by SNK, especially in the manga - there were a whole lot of chapters where you got to see the adults doing cool stuff. It was mindblowing.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

[nonnymouscawitz]

Adults? There are no adults in anime!

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

Same here. It was so nice to have a story about an army and humanity's fight against something that wasn't ONLY about a 15-year-old boy.

Of course, Isayama completely ruined it, but whatever.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

[ketita]

I think it's actually pretty amazing just how dramatically Isayama is managing to fuck up SNK. Like, it shouldn't have been that difficult to give it a reasonable ending... I honestly doubt they're going to animate the entire thing, because who wants to air that clusterfuck?
I especially love talking to people who watched the first season and never read the manga, and are enthusiastic about it. And I just shake my head sadly and go, you have no idea just how much bullshit lies ahead...

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

I can barely wrap my head around this shit. It's just become so stupid and forced and I don't even know what happened on Isayama's end. He was doing so good until this arc. My only hope is that it'll be fixed in the anime, but I doubt it.

Also, getting through that overly drawn-out masturbation segment at the beginning of chapter 89 was like pulling teeth.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

[ketita]

If there was ever a series that needed the anime to go full AU on it, it's this one.
I honestly don't think this storyline is salvageable at all, it's so damn embarrassing and stupid.
As for 89... did you also notice that the art seems to have backslid? It looked surprisingly bad.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, I noticed that. I don't know what happened.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

Yeah there was a period where I dropped anime for a while only because I was sick of teenager protagonists all the time.

It doesn't even seem to matter what genre or age group the show is targeted at either which is weird.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

[nonnymouscawitz]

Yep! Everything from shows aimed at kids to dark adult series features those same 15 year olds, and it's bizarre.

Re: Anime-related pet peeves

nayrt but I actually think adult anime usually features adults. There's a lot of darker anime with teen protagonists, but I would argue, most of the time in those cases, the primary target audience is still teens. There's plenty of anime with actual adult protagonists, at least with characters in the 20-30 age range, but yeah, the industry is dominated by teen protagonists (but probably for a reason).
