Too many isekai titles: While there are a number that I enjoy, there are just too many and increasingly the way they try to differentiate themselves just feel like tacked on gimmicks. Even the ones that try to parody the genre feel generic sometimes. Too many OP MCs: Sorry, but when the MC can take out a major boss or an entire army without even trying, it gets old real fast. Rificulously long awkward sounding titles: not just talking about the english translation either. Increasingly some sort of abbreviation or nickname is almost a necessity. Movies replacing follow up seasons: this may not be a trend yet, but it feels like it could become one with examples like Demon Slayer, Made in Abyss, Konosuba and Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress. I’m not talking about stand alone stories like with older series, but where the main storyline is advanced. The shorter run time usually doesn’t allow for enough character and story development and side characters often get no attention at all. Movies allow for more impressive visuals, unfortunately it usually culminates in some CGI monstrosity for the final showdown (looking at you My Hero Academia & Konosuba). Welp, think I’ve vented enough of my curmudgeness.

I don't think there's an anime rant thread, is there? I think there are quite a few things which have improved quite a bit (such as obviously quality of illustration or a much more elaborate spectrum of different anime). But is there anything you dislike about current anime or generally the anime industry nowadays?

Hey there, i'm Tv-crimes and yes, that's a rather unusual username, i know. New here, just wanted to say hello. I like to gfx when i'm bored but lately didn't have much time for it.. and that's it i guess. Nice to meet you all.

Sure is but i've been using it for a very long time.

Hi there! Yeah, that's quite an unusual username but it's hilarious

Ok I know this isn't anime related but like I haven't been on here for a little bit and all of a sudden its overrun with ads! It might be because I'm using a phone but I'm not just seeing things right!?! If there have always been ads consider me shocked..or blind cos I havent been seeing em lol.

Congrats on your knighthood, Sommelier.

I’ve noticed a significant increase as well. While I realize the site needs a source of income to stay running, I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t annoying, especially the pop-ups (I’m viewing the site in my phone as well.

Even though the focus of this week was supposed to be Red Riot, the high point for me was the reveal of the other aspect of Fatgum’s quirk which took me completely by surprise I think he’s my favorite of the new characters. But to this point I still don’t feel like the fights have been as exciting as I’d come to expect from this series. Hopefully that will change once they confront Overhaul face to face.

I mean I love fan service in moderation.. but sometimes it's so heavily laid on that its just cringy and kinda aggravating. For the most part, I have to agree with nearly everything that @Ohiotakumentioned.

While the plot didn't progress that much, I really enjoyed today's episode! Tamaki is my favorite character now I found it hilarious that they solved Mirio's clothes thing by saying that they made his clothes out of his hair just wondering how long that took Looks like it will take a while until they get to Eri though

Great! If its alright then I'll throw up a GFXing Portfolio thread to show my work.. And if anyone wants sets I would be very happy to make them. All I need is proper renders.

Why not, if you said it wasn't you would be lying because art is by definition expression of human creative skill and imagination in a visual form.
