and he was quite put-out when i subsequently mentioned what a negative response i'd gotten when i expressed interest in watching it to some friends (ie here)
I tried to watch it a few years back, even after I told myself I still liked it. I don't anymore.
I don't even like Alan Moore's League, anymore, either.
And then in the thread, I predicted what he'd say.
And then Eliezer came in and got angry at me for pretending I knew him, or something.
He feels compelled toward violence almost every time I mention it with a profane word replacing the "sword" in the title.
but when i mentioned the tentacle rape thing to my brother he seemed genuinely confused as to what i was referencing
Not!Aleister Crowley, in his efforts to occultly destroy Christianity, switched bodies with his younger, gullible followers so he could live over a hundred years, and bring about the Beast of the Apocalypse, the Moonchild. He fucked a lot of people.
Eventually, Crowley started a magic school in England's magical realm, their dreamtime and threatened or used people to manipulate the Moonchild to think he was a special hero. When the Moonchild found out, he went on a rampage of sex and destruction and killed everyone in the dreamtime, cut off Crowley's head and locked himself somewhere to stew and stew somewhere, lamenting his lost childhood and slowly mutated into the Beast.
Eventually, the Beast was fought by the old and tired members of the League, Quartermain killed by the Beast's magic pee. The Beast was then killed by Mary Poppins as the female face of God, who then took Crowley's head to presumably punish for all eternity.
i was taken aback
Essentially, it's an average at best anime that doesn't do much to revolutionize or further its medium but is hailed by its fans as a tentpole of modern animation to the point of annoyance
(also, incest)
I've stated my reasons before, and my response here is akin to "lol, sorry he wants you to watch a genuinely badly written show." I have a friend who enjoys it, and to each their own I don't really fault them even if I disagree entirely with them. My initial comment could have been better, but Aliroz, there're differences between "lolyousuck" and "this is not a good show, here's why", and there's never a good reason to take offense to the latter.
Tach: honestly, i was really surprised by how . . . vehement everyone seemed, when this came up before? like you were all seriously concerned that i might watch this show, because that would be awful
i was taken aback
Was I seriously that "vehement"? Maybe it's because I criticize things, like, daily, but alongside the above a detailed reasoning of why I think it is simply not a good show/a show worth watching is not equivalent to vehemence to me. It's not like whenever someone mentions something I don't care for - Naruto for example - I go into a rage or nothing, let alone spend much of my time thinking about stuff I dislike.
