| What's with the disdain towards short segments? For me, the show's appeal lies in the format it takes. And what's with the fan service complaints? Since when did y'all become such prudes? |
 |
| Personally I don't mind 1 - 2 minute short stories if they're entertaining! Which this show does well! Unsure if its going to stay short-centric though. |
 |
| Best isekai this season, very refreshing format, the lack of an overarching narrative (at least for now?) is trivial to my enjoyment. Enjoyable and funny short segments. |
| I can see that you're new here, MAL has always been divisive regarding fanservice, probably a lot of insecure teens. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
| I like those characters and their interactions. |
 |
| For me personally, it's not that the short segments format is bad, in fact is neat and works fine for introducing characters and wordbuilding; it's more that it looks like it's preparation for a more big plot and a more linear event where all this short segment served as the basis. So it makes me wonder if they're gonna keep with that format or there would be a change later. I don't really see many people like, bashing the serie because of the format, and instead people having the same questions -gonna be one big plot latter or just these short stories?- |
| short stories and the episodic nature of the show is enjoyable. I surely don't want a generic seasonal Isekai. This is far more fun to watch this way. |

I used to when I was a little younger, till I realized all the fan service all over tv is the reason I grew up with such lustful issues and porn addiction😂 Now that I'm out of that, it feels so much better and I feel so much more clear-headed, controlled and at peace when all that isn't thrown into my face, so I feel like I actually have a really good reason why I don't want a bunch of fan service lol, but anime itself is still really good. Burning with lust isn't fun once you've gotten a taste of freedom lol |

TheOmniPantheon said: The people who want a proper arc of this series take this show too seriously. What they should do is get into this Anime thinking of it as a comedy rather than a serious story. KonoSuba is a comedy yet it has proper arcs. Being a comedy has nothing to do. Nobody is asking for seriousness |
| I dropped it early cause I saw the source was 4-koma (usually no real plot) - and I have a lot of other hobbies + also other animes to watch. So I generally don't watch to waste time but I watch to enjoy myself and I need/want a reason to watch stuff. Since it isn't really funny (and jokes already got boring in episode 1) I wondered if this could at least offer some plot or interesting characters but I feared that with the 4-koma this would hardly be possible. On the other hand Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hourou Meshi: While it does not have a deep plot (so far) ... you easily notice that the source must have a different setup (not 4-koma since it is a light noval afaik). Feels much smother and they really can show good interactions between the chars. Not just creating short moments to force one joke after another into it. Oddly those shows then usually also are (because of that) funnier ... cause of the situational comedy and the slow build up towards it ... that feels more natural. For 4-koma I don't see the point in making full length episodes ... maybe 5-6 minutes would work and then limiting it ti like 1-2 cour and then another show ... not letting stuff run endlessly. |

It’s refreshing to be able to watch a fantasy anime without worrying about all the forced dark storylines I’ve been seeing for the past few years.

Personally, what I like about tiny-shorts inside of 20 minute anime shows is how fulfilling they might be. If I don't get to finish shows with a big narrative, it sometimes feels like a waste having watched so much build up towards an ending without being able to see one. While, in shows like this one, I feel like some of the scenes are stories unto themselves. Basically, like short comic strips. They might all reach an ending, and I might not see that ending, but at least I personally feel satisfied having seen 'small endings' of short scenes. |

| Source work is the yonkoma manga, means episodic stories. It isn't a whole story from the VERY BEGINNING. Even Saitos's story, how he was transported to another world, was told fragmentarily. So I don't understand complaints here. |

If anything, insecure teens are the ones who want fan service since they can't get a real woman💀 Jya_Asiaboo_sama said: I'm mainly talking about being able to process sex/sexuality (and porn by extension) in a non-shameful way, which can be difficult in a world with many puritanical beliefs regarding the subject. The issues that compound into porn obsession/addiction are almost always related to sexual shame in some form or another. Of course, it also depends on how receptive you are to the "darker" side of porn, some people are content just watching attractive people have sex, and others are drawn further into an endless world of fetishism. There's no simple solution to "handle" said desires, but it all starts with a more, open, educated outlook on the subject of human sexuality. However, it's not about completely accepting lust/porn, and indulging to your hearts content, it's about fostering the belief that these things aren't special or important, and evolving beyond any influence it has over you. To be clear, I'm not talking about avoidance, I'm talking about being able to stare it directly in the face, and to be unshaken by it.

And what does it look like to handle those desires in your opinion? |

Yeah, I liked this short episodes/strips format too. Lots of comedy and being short strips it makes you interested, since there is constantly something new and shows different characters, so you're glued to screen in order not to miss anything. But then it went with arcs and it was for me like: Thankfully it returned to short strips in the end again, but since it was end - amount of them was small. I wish whole show was made of short comedy strips. As for fanservice complaints - "to each his/her own". So some people will love it, some will complain. There is no satisfying everyone, so it's nothing new. Just let complainers cry, it's not like they can change anything anyway. |

| Is this thread made before the entire series aired? There were 2 proper arcs across the whole series, just because its cleverly interwoven with short arcs doesn't mean it doesn't have the shadow of a larger arc and they left enough sprinkles of information for an even grander arcs than the two we got, which is just really good world building. Very fresh show, absolutely excellent! |
