Wistoria's Wand and Sword
| Here's a bet. I have not even started the show, and from the trailer the animation looks great. BUT..... I'm going to make a prediction. I think this show will completely fall apart, exclusively because of the character designs. The character designs are too generic, and while that seems like a too big of a leap to think the show would fall apart because of.... I am fairly confident in that assessment. No great anime has ever had a cast this generic looking. So.... this thread is kind of just for the future. Right now the show has a score of 8+, if that massively drops by the time it ends, I want the "called it" brownie points. That is all. But to have this thread have some room for discussion too, let's make it a pole/debate. Are you on the "it will turn into crap" side like me, or do you think it will stick the landing? Pick wisely, cause one of these two sides is going to look real stupid in 2-3 months. |

What are we calling "falling apart"? I think it's already overrated.
And even if it "falls apart", how can one prove that it was because of the character design?

| @ktg I don't think it would be "because" of the character design, I just think a show with these character designs won't be good. The designs are a sign, not a cause. by "falling apart" here I just mean it won't be as good as it seems now, and it's reception will have a huge drop. Basically, if the rating of the show is way lower than 8.1 which it is now, I count that as a win. sub 7 would be a slam dunk, but sub 7.5 is still acceptable results for me to be cocky about it. |

Ok, now we got an astrologer in our forum discussion who will completely ignore the show (didn't even watched it yet 😂) and started yapping like a 10 years old.
Dude ur best course of action would be either to watch then comment or just be like others who just starts shouting about a show just because this show is getting a good rating other than ur "Favourite" shows.
| @Antisocial-Weeb What? Listen, I'm not saying the show is good or bad right now. there is a reason I called it "a shot in the dark". It's because it's a near baseless guess. Idk what here gave the impression that I'm "mad" this show is getting a good rating. Again, I haven't watched it, why the hell would I be mad? for all I know it could be amazing. This is just for a fun gambit, If I had started it, my "guess" wouldn't be as much of a "guess", so the "called it" brownie points wouldn't be as cool!!! but yeah, get off the internet man. Not everyone is trying to fight you. Antisocial-Weeb said: Atleast let us watch the complete anime bro It wouldn't be much of a "prediction" If I said it after the show was already over... that would just be an opinion... Also, for the love of Haruhi, use quotes, instead of leaving 3 separate replies. |

| I’ve yet to watch today’s episode but the world is interesting enough to make me think it’s going to be good for a majority of the season. To be fair you should’ve watched at least the first episode before making your proclamation. |
 |
| That wouldn't even be a question if it wa JC Staff animating this. |
 |
| It might flop towards the end like nanatsu no maken did, but it wont be a flop solely because of the character designs... The more likely scenario is that it will duck up the pacing like nanatsu no maken did |
 |
| If it turns to trash later on it's fully on the author's inability to write good stories, as it is the same person that made danmachi and that had only 1 good season before that series got bad imo. |
| It's Morbin' Time! |
| I'm with you, but more because of the writing than the character designs. MC is apparently an underdog but actually overpowered = red flag. |

@APolygons2 well you sure as hell SOUND mad when the second option is “iM oN tHe WroNg SiDe Of HiStOrY”
| @SenshadouOtaku I'm cocky about my guess being right, not mad. Thats not anger, that's me being an asshole about my prediction. |

| uh what? If you think the production will collapse, it probably wouldn't. I have no idea about the production conditions but I trust Tatsuya Yoshihara to deliver the absolute peak no matter the generic plot. |
Reply to FutoiOtaku
Try changing the 2nd option to something less provocative and offensive and maybe I’ll take this slightly more seriously. Your opinion on character design will never be absolute, I mean even vanilla hero Kirito has no defining features whatsoever yet the anime did great for reasons beyond my comprehension.
I see it finishing above 7.75 but not 8 based on 2 episodes worth of decent quality entertainment. But if you are wrong, will you come back with a ‘Sorry I’m an asshat’ thread or will you just keep quiet and hope we all forgot?

| @FutoiOtaku I kinda WANT you to not take me seriously, cause then If I'm right (or wrong) it makes it funnier. Of course I would want the thread to come back up even if I'm wrong. why do you think I made the options with so much "over confidence". Its because If I'm right, I get to be extremely cocky about. If I'm wrong it would be hilarious to make fun of me because of how cocky I was being! Also on the SAO note, I said "great anime" not "popular anime". SAO isn't exactly a crtically acclaimed title. |

for the love of god, if you wanna complain, complain after like 5 eps for the lore to get established. if you dont wanna wait go ahead and read the manga. besides calling an anime trash because of the character design is like saying tower of god is shitty because of its art style.
| @Sung_is_hot Again, I'm not complaining. Ok seriously why are you people like this? can you actually read what I have written! It's a prediction, not a complaint, why in the hell would I be "complaining" about a show I haven't seen. The only thing that I did call out in here is the character design, which is THE thing that you can judge without the show even starting. This is just a stupid post that will either age like milk, or ages wonderfully. It's a "shot in the dark" as I named it. |

It’s not about you complaining or whatever is happening this is a chat to discuss episode 2 and episode 2 alone the reason people are going after you about out post is because you are being rude and annoying and not understanding the point of this discussion chat.
I came to see what people thought of episode 2 especially what professor Edward, not what this bs is.

Yes you are correct I apologize this is indeed not the episode 2 discussion but you’re still rude and annoying so who cares. Thanks for the link. Bye now talk to you never again.
| @SaikouWolf What in the tom and jerry cheese did I say that was rude? if you mean this: It's clearly just a small tease, I certainly didn't mean it as genuine insult if that's not obvious. |

| @APolygons2 I get it. This can actually be fun at the end of the season or if it does fall off at some point. Will you do another thread at the end whether you’re right or wrong? Btw, the 2nd episode was excellent. Also I forgot to mention in my original post that I like character design. |

| It's going to drop because people will realize it's mediocre, aside from the animation. Personally, I don't see an issue with the character design. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |

| @CHT13 I was thinking of just adding an edit to this one, we'll see I guess. As far as character designs go.... I just think it's really lazy when the characters get a whole rainbow of hair colours to make them stand out. Not that I think that's always a sign of bad character design, but when that is pretty much the only defining feature, idk, again it just feels lazy. Like comparing it to some other shows this season that has super colourful hairs for the characters, Mayonaka Punch and Oshi no ko have way more memorable and well thought out character designs. But yeah I'm just rambling now. I'm definitely going to give it a shot, but I might wait a little to see if it gets a dub or not since it seems like a show that I would want to watch while paying attention to the visuals. It also has the composer of rezero and shadows house doing the music, so I am expecting the production to be pretty damn good. |

| I strongly suspect that you have already read the manga and seen how many negative responses it got and how people are dropping it, mainly due to the story. And you made the thread either just for fun and/or to earn that "called it" brownie points. I disagree, though, with the notion that the character designs being what you consider generic could bring down a series over time. The artist and the author are two different people. From what I've seen, many of the positive comments about the early episodes/chapters of the anime/manga mostly praise the remarkable arts and animation, which are thanks to the manga artist and the team working on the anime. However, if the series gradually receives negative responses and many drop it because of the story, then the blame lies solely with the author, who is the same author that wrote Danmachi, as he is the one who writes the story. |

| @Woodmann I have not read the manga, I didn't even watch the anime cause I wanted GENUINE called it brownie points. I'm gonna watch it, but I wanted to have made the thread before I did that. I am aware that character design and story are logically completely unrelated. I also know the show is extremely well animated from the trailer. It's just a gut feeling. And even though it's unrelated, I am biased in thinking a show with these character designs will also have poor writing. Does that make sense? absolutely not, do I believe it? yes I do!!!! |
