seconds:
the author 100% wanted to make a slice of life but they were too afraid since the SoL genre doesn't really exist outside anime
the comic is just a 1 volume long story of a girl opening a restaurant and discovering a spirit on it, thing is, the actual story is kinda weird. The story is VERY low stakes overall, in fact, it's only 1 volume, but half of the volume are bonus stories which kinda fuck over the pacing of the main story, which again, half of it is basically a slice of life. I just would have liked if they just embraced the slice of life elements and focused all their efforts into that instead of trying to justify a story that short and undevelopped
the art is good considering the industry, it has a good use of color, the paneling isn't really complex or anything, but it does it job fine.
But yeah, this is just a slice of life who is too afraid of being a slice of life

Edward scissorhands:
it's alright
there isn't actually much to actually rip apart from here, it's fairly standard in all front, the story is about this guy who has scissors for hands who gets incorporated into a normal family. They also have mental problems and doesn't understand what the fuck is going on around them
the first hour of this movie is just an slice of life of the guy walking around trying to do things. After there is a twist but it isn't the most impactful thing in the world
it's a nice watch but there isn't anything particullary interesting about the movie
placed in c tier

Metal Gear Solid 1:
I know the one which was requested was 2 but since I have to play this one anyways it doesn't hurt to also write about it
First of all, the PC port for this game fucking sucks ass, the app barely runs, and don't you dare click outside the windows because the game will shit itself and either crash or do whatever.
There were moments on the game where i'm just grinding a boss and whatever, giving it multiple tries to understand how it works and shit and since I have two monitors I put just a youtube video or whatever on it, there isn't much going on in the mgs screen other than me learning timings and shit so no harm done, thing is, whenever I beat the boss and a cutscene starts playing, I went to pause the youtube video since I wanted to hear the cutscene, thing is, clicking back into the windows always will skip the cutscene, making me have to go back out of the game and actually google the cutscene to be able to watch it
not only that, but the control scheme for this game isn't the best given that this game was released in the 90's and making games that control good wasn't something they had figured out yet, and the psycho mantis boss fight doesn't hit as hard in pc. Game had a bunch of backtracking which isn't the most fun and honestly it drops the stealth element alltogether in the last quarter of the game. + I'm playing a digital version, I don't have a box of the game.
Asides from the technical problems or gameplay problems, the story is actually really fucking good, the actual concept of the story is pretty simple, you have to get in a secret base and stop something known as metal gear (not solid) from launching. You have a comunication device that you can use to talk to people on the outside, this works well both in gameplay as for the purpouses of the story and the actual developement process of the game
The codec (name of the device) can be used ingame to actually recieve hints and orientation in case you ever get stuck. In terms of story, as I said, it allows snake to actually talk to people and move the story forward, but most importantly, due to it being a radio device you can only hear what they see, not actually see the situation they're in. Most times you talk to someone in a videogame you are actively seeing them, even if they're not with the protagonist, they switch perspectives to show you, but here, the fact that it hides it enhaces the story since it allows for all the betrayals and intense situations to be a surprise to the player
This also helps with the games budget, since kojima now doesn't have to actually make all of those scenes, they can just tell you what is happening, which is a lot simpler than actually coding it and showing it in the game.
The actual story uses the entire metal gear situation to explore the human nature, it's a tense situation where everyone is lying and have ulterior motives (except otacon you're the best), and the bonds of friendship, love and family are put to the test, and I think how the characters develop, and what snake ends up thinking about each one of them is WAY more interesting than the "actual plot"
this game would be an easy A tier but since the gameplay fucking sucks i'm lowering it to B

Rokujou Hitoma no Majo Life
SoL about witches with very little money and the need to actually get more money
this manga doesn't have much depth but it is cute so like that's everything that it really needs to do, + the food looks delicious so that's a bonus.
Like really, slice of life comedy is all about transmitting a certain energy to you, as some people who really like lain would like to say on the internet, it's all about the vibes and the aesthetics, and when something like lain does lean into that it's praised but with slice of life "nothing happens lmao", an I have to say, this is SoL racism and I wont stand for it
But yeah, slice of lifes on the internet are really misrepresented, and that is because the concept of a plot is very distorted. I'm actively reading through jojos (so far it's not something i'm really liking that much but it's popular here and I want to be able to hold a conversation about jojos with someone), just finished reading part 4, and I have to say, there is NOTHING that happens in part 4, they just punch each other for like the entire manga with no real point, however, a fight is considered to be an event. Shounens are all about giving adrenaline to the watcher and also forming a community surrounding it, and this is perceived completely fine, more often than not, the plot is just a way to get this to happen. SoL are just the same but replace combat with cuteness.
also, I know that i'm just supposed to turn my brain off and just be happy while reading this type of thing, however while reading I started really thinking about it for some reason, about the unemployment rates between witches and the reasons why they were starved of money, trying to make money only based on their magical abilities and seemingly having no type of studies or anything that would allow them to get a regular human job
TO finish this off, I noticed a really weird trend, and that is that every manga/anime about witches i've seen it's actually really good. This one, little witch academia, witch hat atelier, flying witch, all of them are pretty good so that's cool
anyways, placed in b tier

I watched the first 2 seasons of kaguya-sama when it was airing and then read the rest of the manga, and honestly, i'm conflicted about it (I watched this so long ago so my descriptions may not be the most accurate)Jangsoodlor wrote:

just kidding pls review kaguya sama, either the manga the anime is fine.
The premise of the anime is that there are these two smart students that love each other but don't want to confess, and they try to get the other person to confess. Most scenes are divided into hyper psychological battles that parodies other animes like death note were the protagonist just has an internal monologue that lasts the entire chapter
and well, the first 2 seasons are fine, they're funny at times even if they don't have that much depth (with the exception of ishigami which they do dirty later on the anime) but it doesn't need to have depth, since it's just a dumb funny comedy
what happens after is what really annoys me about the anime
so, there is a confession, and you thought the anime would end up there, since that was the entire point of the anime, however it continues for an entire school year. The entire psychological battle thing is dropped, and the comedy relies on the secondary characters like chika, which i'm sorry but were not as fun as the actual battles.
They also try to push the anime into a more romance/drama style and in my personal opinion, it just fails, all of the plots aren't really that interesting and it just feels worse than everything that came before it
however, I remember that in season 2, there was actually a really good plot surrounding ishigami, in the middle of this comedy anime, we see the entire backstory and character development of this random side character, and well, it's funny because it's unexpected, this is not how this genre of anime works, and it's so surprising it catches your attention, the story is also short, and when it ends, chika brushes it off and we continue with the anime, this was a good little arc, and again, the drama segment works because it's in the context of a comedy anime
so whenever you try to do that same arc, but longer, while also dropping the comedy. I'm sorry but the kaguya family drama didn't hit nearly as hard as the ishigami backstory
This anime feels like it also uses hype as a weapon, (this is the same mangaka as oshi no ko), it's set in the modern era, like, literally the same year as it was being released. It takes advantage of a lot of current events and trends, there are vtubers and youtube in this anime, I think this has to be one of the first anime to even reference vtubers, not only that, but this anime is available everywhere in every single language. This anime was meant to be seen as it was being released and just be part of that cultural phenomenon.
Let's not forget about chika dance, a special ending that seems to basically be created to be a fun cutesy dance that would spread over the entire internet, and I have to say, it worked
as I said, the mangaka later made oshi no ko which was just this turned up to 11, the entire story is about a popular topic (vtubers) but it also has reincarnation, a catchy opening and the first episode is twice as long, also it's from this popular mangaka so be sure to watch it!!!, and well, it worked for chapter 1 and then just fell off lmao since there really wasn't any meat to it
I really don't know, placed in b tier since I liked it at the beginning but with the passage of time and the next parts being released it just fell off

I've heard a lot about junji ito, however, I had always brushed it off because it was not my genre, it's in fact my brother's favourite author so I kinda picked this up with curiosity, it gave me a good excuse to actually get out of my comfort zone and read it (which is the entire point of this thread btw!)
... I expected it to be different?
The entire manga is focused on showing you all of this horrors beyond human comprehension and cool art, and while I agree that in paper they're scary and the art is really good, I feel the manga really moves too fast to actually feel fear, I don't care about a character dying in a very awful way if I don't have an emotional connection to the characters
Not only that, but some parts are just accidently funny??????, like when the hair starts forming spiral and then she finds the other girl who also has spirals in her hair and then just start fighting with their hairs like it's a shounen
The art is really good tho, and junji ito recognises this and just leans HARD into it. The entire plot of the manga is the spiral, the shape. And well, the art is completely fulled of spirals and this has consequences on the story, the art is also made to be more realistic, kinda reminds me to how someone like naoki would draw characters (which after finishing the manga I noticed that it was published in the same magazine as naoki), it's more cinematic so it's closer to how an horror movie or whatever would actually be.
Junji ito understands that if you're taking half of the runtime of your manga to include horrors beyond your comprehension, those horrors must directly advance the story. Everything is plot relevant and in really cryptic ways too. There is this ambiguity and mystery on the story because it's both scarier to not know what is going on exactly and because the horrors beyond human comprehension are cryptic by themselves, if you're trying to convey a story without using words in certain segments, that story can't be extremely specific or it will be really hard to actually understand.
but yeah, I just couldn't get into it lmao

As a guy who has read like 90% of Junji ito's manga'sPatatitta wrote:
-------------------------------
Uzumaki
Yeah all are not that heavy into the story, most of the short stories are just concepts and like "what if" scenario's of spooky stuff happening and while terrifying and cool by concept and has fantastic art, the characters and sorta of plot is meh
And while Uzumaki is more into the plot and is one of the longer ones, the story isnt that great and kinda gets not that interesting for the guys there, but more curious on how the heck the village will all roll up in the end.
Really kinda knew this was not your thing and unfortunately, this is considered as one the best or better Junji ito mangas
Though some of the other story are still worth a try due to the cool concept and art.
so yea
also will still watch the anime of it once it comes out

hyouka:
slice of life/mistery anime which is pretty good if I said so myself
the plot is that there is this high school student who is very lazy but he's pretty good at solving misteries so his classmates from the club kinda ask him to solve shit
first of all, due to this being a regular slice of life on a regular school, all of the mistery are overall simpler things, stuff like "hey I saw this weird thing at school, can you try to find out what it is?", the actual pull of the mistery is trying to solve it, not so much the history implications or the drama surrounding it, which often happens in anime misteries (i'm not saying this as something negative, this is one of my fav genres lol)
the actual misteries are pretty convoluted and pretty hard to figure out unless you're paying REALLY close attention to everything, which to be fair, I didn't, I kinda just chilled with it and went like "woah" when the solution was revealed
this led to an amazing subversion of the genre in what I think is by far the best arc on the anime, the movie mistery. The plot is that the film club was making a movie but the writer got sick and they need someone to try to solve the mistery so that they can finish recording the film, they do all the typical stuff and get to the conclusion, you heard the explanation and go like "oh yeah that makes total sense", every character accepts it, they go "oh wow you're very smart" and then just move on
and then it's revealed that they were actually just wrong, but due to the actual reputation of the main character and how convoluted and out there the explanation was, everyone just trusted him, and now the characters must face the consequences of being wrong. I think that was fucking amazing since it's not something that really happens in this genre
That is another thing I really enjoyed about this anime and that is, all of the social interaction between the characters. There is a big focus on the psichology of the characters, the pressure that it's put on the main character, the reputation, the fame of the club, etc. And again, for a genre that mainly focuses on all of the clever logic and more mental side of things, also having a good ammount of social stuff is great
animation is excelent too didn't mention it

Tasogareboshi no Sui to Neri:
Slice of life manga about a girl and a weird outwordly creature just chilling and being cute, my favourite genre
I don't really have much to say about this manga, it doesn't really to do anything too ambitious, all of what this manga tries has alread been done by mangas such as girls last tour, shuumatsu touring or rojica to rakkasei, still, it is pretty cute and enjoyable to read
