Well, the results are inevitably similar to the Fantasy poll, but it's neat seeing how things shuffle around a bit. Some of that is likely random noise, and some of it will be how people are drawn to specific shows in different contexts. But mostly it's neat to see A Place Further than the Universe among a bunch of shows about magic.
And specifically the one from 2003, theres a newer one but it doesnt have the same feel. The older animation style with voice acting really gives it a unique feel which cant be replicated nowdays.
I recall a YouTube video talking about how the 2003 art style works better because it helps sell the surreal nature of the world that Kino is traveling and helps bring the places and people to life as real places. However, the remake’s art style looks like it fell out of generic anime number 1000+ and that while it’s very pretty and nice to look at, the art’s more standard style makes the world feel more generic. So it’s harder to accept the surreal nature of the world and everything feels flatter as a result.
Still 2003. Kino's Journey is a series of largely self-contained stories, and the 2003 and 2017 anime adapt a different subset of them (some stories are in both, though). 2017 prioritized stories that introduced new side characters, so it has a more haphazard feel overall. Kino's adventures would be periodically interrupted by an episode introducing a new character who rarely, if ever, show up again. 2017 is worth checking out if you want more Kino's Journey, but 2003 is the more consistent and stronger product.
For some reason I like Frieren and Mushishi but never could really get into Kino’s Journey (2003). It felt kind of on-the-nose and preachy and I didn’t quite get into it as much as I thought I would.
I would hesitate to put Frieren alongside Kino. Kino's more episodic nature that puts character growth to the wayside to focus on philosophical conundrums is the antithesis of Frieren's slow-burn character drama.
[GLT]I'm ready to cry again for the kentengrad with music this time, and to "I am the second happiest person in the world", and the last drawning of humanity in a museum next to the first one.
I'm not sure if I'm ready to see again [GirlsLastTour] The climb of those stairs in pitch darkness after they lost everything and how they held hands to not lose each other as well, both physically and mentally. It's such a powerful scene
While made in abyss is a show that does have a lot of pain and suffering for characters , its also have a lot of sweet , chill and funny moments and its always tell you that no matter how dark its get there's always hope , that balance is what make it a masterpiece
Yeah, it even says so in the show, Abyss provides both Curses and Blessings, overall tone is full of optimism and enthusiasm, despite every horrible thing happening it's not some depression factory, vibes are very bittersweet.
I don't know. I always feel like the sweet moments are there to make the suffering greater. The way they talk about desires and they're descending what is basically Hell, I feel like it's setting up for a very unhappy end.
Conversely the whole message of season 2 was "finding light in the darkness". How the abyss can turn "even junk into gold". Its got a very hopeful optimistic ending about moving on and finding your own meaning for life.
The optimism in the face of horror is definitely a main theme of the show and not just dressing to make the horror stand out more in my opinion.
I think the one who commented it is a manga reader (they used the word chapters) and yes the manga has some questionable stuff. The anime takes off some of them. Mia anime fans are quite happy with them censoring things.
People love it, but it can be very difficult to recommend. So fans don’t shove it in other people’s faces nearly as much as other well loved series. I personally enjoy the series quite a bit, but there are still questionable elements and there is also all of the horrors.
MT is a good story, lore and plot plagued by unnecessary pedo vibes and horny angles. Like why? Why does this dude need to be andult in another world. Why cant he just be a random kid born in that world, with no outer soul or whatever.
A scene between 2 14 yo fucking where one is actually 40? Weird and gross. A scene between 2 14 year olds fucking and thats it? Still weird that it gets shown and not just only implied but at least no pedo vibes.
That anime is just so hard to watch for me. Its like the author knew he had a good plot and interesting world and story and decided to fuck with us by adding incredibly horny shit for no good reason.
Now, I understand the show is not for everyone, and if you didn't like it, that's perfectly valid
What you seem to miss is that the author didn't want to simply write a fantasy story, but rather a story in which a man that failed in life gets a second shot at it
And to get that second shot he needs to be reborn as handsome(by Rudeus own admission), overpowered, with an advantage of an adult thinking brain at low age to make the world give him what he wants. Oh and let's not forget a well connected family.
The "win" he gets in the end(different from redemption) ofc can't just be one partner. Nah it has to be three waifus. Cause otherwise it's not win enough. I get polyamory is a thing. But in this case it just reeks of wish fulfillment for me. And basically sends the message that you need all those perks to be successful. And once you succeed, you get all the wives. Because the author prolly couldn't pick who he thought more fitting and he didn't wanna upset fans so ofc all three.
The story would've been more interesting if he, despite being dealt a bad hand in the new life, would've risen above it as a better person. Instead he's prolly dealt the best hand possible and we're supposed to be amazed that this person became "better" than his old self.
Anytime you show any type of enjoyment from the show or hint some form of appraisal you get called a nonce sympathiser. I’ll rather just stay quiet or go to spaces where they watched/read the show.
Is there a mistake with the chart? How did Made in Abyss get more points overall when HxH had a lot more first and second picks than Made in Abyss? Or am I misunderstanding how the point system works?
Edit: Nvm I see how it works now. The votes for 4th to 10th place gave Made in Abyss the boost to number one. Personally, I find the point system to be a bit weird but whatever.
Also, and more importantly, because it took like 5 years between seasons so the hype was pent up 😂 we won’t be seeing the next season until at least like 2028 it feels like
The fantasy aspects of Made in abyss are excellent. The other parts (music aside) might not be everybody's cup of tea but the world building is so interesting.
It is a world you want to dive in (horrific stuff aside).
I've seen like 1/3 of the shows there but I feel it's just right at #1. Minus the weirdness and too much suffering, I thought it fits the adventure genre very nicely.
One piece could have been a perfect adventure for me, but it's way too stretched out.
I am quite surprised because for a time, no one seemed to know much about it since it was stuck in Amazon Prime Video hell. So many other amazing ones under the same fate like Re:Creators. They did that one dirty. It was basically Reverse Isekai meets Fate: Unlimited Budget.
Not saying it isn’t good or popular here but I think it strongly benefited from being a clear cut adventure show. I would argue there are some shows ranked beneath it here that would or could leap over it if we were ranking them on overall quality.
Golden Kamuy is one of the greatest manga/anime of all time. Apparently the large cooking aspects of the show were partially influenced by the authors love of the Dungeon Meshi manga which has been around for about the same amount of time.
It really is top class. There's a reason people frequently binge the manga in a matter of days and act like they're consumed by a mind parasite on the other end. I've seen at least two people go and read the manga out of curiosity after watching the anime episodes and come out the other end a changed person. Not to hype it up or anything but this might be the tightest and best written fantasy story in the last decade both thematically and just in pure enjoyment. Not just best fantasy manga, best fantasy story full stop.
Why yes I have been affected by the mind parasite why do you ask?
Damn, Inuyasha didn't even break Top 50? I suppose it's considered "older" nowadays so a lot of newer anime watchers might not have seen it but I really thought it'd be higher.
The rules for the poll is at the top of the image. Basically, users give a top ten ranking. 1st place receives 3 points, 2nd and 3rd place recieves 2 points, and any other place recieves 1 point. Therefore, Made in Abyss made enough people's top 10 such that it had more points despite having less 1st and 2nd places compared to HxH.
I knew it was never going to win since most people on this subreddit don't watch it, but seeing One Piece get 5th place still puts a smile on my face. 41.5% of all votes cast for it were 1st place votes which is easily the highest percentage out of the top 100.
I'd say 4 out of the top 5 (Mushoku Tensei being the outlier) have a pretty pure adventuring premise, and Mushoku Tensei has enough adventuring in it for it to be a worthy pick as well.
most people dont watch it? i mean sure it aint that talked about here but i kinda doubt that most people here dont watch it or at least watched it a bit.
Most people who are involved enough in r/anime to vote in these polls don't watch it. Given that there are almost 1100 episodes out, someone who watches it would have to give up watching around 90 cours worth of other anime to catch up which most people wouldn't do.
Also, the average One Piece anime episode only gets around 200 Karma on this subreddit so there's that as well.
With the amount of rage, finger pointing, and name calling this sub gets to when it's mentioned, I'm very surprised Mushoku Tensei is actually on the list and as high as it was. Happy nonetheless, it's an incredible journey and very unique in its storytelling.
Ok, so a ton of folks must have ranked MiA between 4th and 10th. Because it looks like Hunter x Hunter scored way higher than it when just looking at the top three ranks.
Would be interesting to see how the rankings compared if #1 received 10 pts and it scaled linearly down to #10 receiving 1 pt.
(Disclaimer: Not trying to prop up HxH, it’s just the first discrepancy I noticed.)
I think A Place Further Than The Universe should be higher, but top 7 isn't bad at all considering it isn't that popular. Also, I'm glad to see Girls' Last Tour getting some recognition, it is too damn good.
Tbh Vinland doesn’t really feel like an adventure unless your idea of adventure is [anime] being forced to fight in Viking wars til you get your revenge then be forced into slavery
I don't care what anyone says , made in abyss is a masterpiece and my favourite anime of all times .
Its have my favourite world building , ost , animation , scenearies writing all phenomenal
Its also have my favourite MC ( riko ) favourite antagonist ( bondrewd ) and favourite side character ( faputa ) in all of anime
