/sees a new amalee cover with Natewantstobattle!

oh it's for the rising of the shield hero op

sad

same reaction i had tbh

the song is fine but... tainted

Mob Psycho 100 Opening 2 - 99.9 【English Dub Cover S...

they did do this one for mob psy though on nate's channel too

yeah the mob psycho 100 song is great

what's with shield hero?

It’s another isekai with too much rape and slavery fetish basically

There’s a villain who gets sold off to get married to a rapist and renamed “bitch” as “punishment” even as she begs for mercy

It’s like someone looked at goblin slayer last season and just went “hold my beer”

shield hero is so bad and it blows my fucking mind people will unironically defend it

i saw that already they are getting figures at wonfes winter 2019 and i just sighed deeply

just... keep making merch of this shitty isekai instead of anything good i guess

it has two fucking cours too because of course it does, so we gotta be plagued by shield hero for a whole six months

could they have adapted ANY other light novel
yes
but they chose incel mcslavewaifu

And of course it’s also the one crunchyroll themselves decided to help fund/produce so uh

I know some folks who have cancelled their cr subscriptions over this show specifically and I do not blame them, if I had my own subscription rn I probably would too

i have cr... but i'm watching mob psy and several other stuff that is definitely not that

Yeah, CR deciding to produce this show specifically is a little... I'm not sure what they were thinking. Especially since they announced it at the same panel that they announced High Guardian Spyce, the show that this show's target audience attacked them over for months. Trying to please everyone, maybe?

maybe but goblin slayer is also on cr too so idk

yeah, they have both the progressive shows and the opposite of that on the regular

see: the season they were all over yuri on ice when it went from "it's just another baity sports anime, but we can dream..." to "it's CANON!?" yet they also aired the strike witches spinoff

unfortunately, shit with cute waifus and overpowered asshole mc's sells

also the thing with the villain getting renamed bitch is even worse when you remember 'bitch' is slang for 'slut' in japanese

it was why I side eyed assassination classroom bc they had the 'honeypot' spy who is very pretty (but also kind of rude) and her name kind of sounds like 'bitch' in a japanese accent

so they called her 'bitch-sensei'

me, side-eyeing: wow, that's really not cool

wow.

(also the shit with nagisa's mom getting neatly swept under the rug. stop doing this shit with familial abuse, japan.)

I mean having the show for streaming is one thing, choosing to produce it and put money into it is... a whole other

Also jesus

Glad I never got into assclass
