| So I am wondering is this the most Generic show this fall because a lot of damn people are saying it is. |
| Trinity Seven is the most generic this season. |
| No, it's UBW and Rin it's more generic tsundere this season |

| Out of all the anime I'm watching, this is most definitely the most generic. |
| Nah, not the most. |

| Define generic. |
 |
| No. Trinity Seven is the most generic anime of the season, i`m watching it because the MC is hilarious. As for Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Naka de, this is solid series and not great though. |

| Trinity Seven >> Inou-Battle, IMHO. I get somewhat bored when watching Inou-Battle, it's just not very exciting, unlike Trinity where there is mystery, magic is used in a badass way, and also ecchi (which is a plus for me). Why am I watching Inou-Battle then? Simple, few shows on Monday + I'm really hoping the plot will become exciting further down the road. |

| Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the question? . |
 |
| Nope. Among the block of shows that I've been watching (or trying to watch) so far this season, the genericness rankings are: 1. Daitoshokan (generic, by-the-numbers harem VN adaptation) 2. Sora no Method (generic, by-the-numbers moe SoL drama) 3. Everything else It looks like the original poster hasn't been watching either of those two shows...if he had, he probably wouldn't even be asking this question. InouBattle might be descended from the legacy of Haruhi, Kokoro Connect, and Chuunibyou, but it's still telling its own story in its own way and has managed to throw in a few surprises. OTOH, if you're a veteran of Daitoshokan and Sora no Method's respective genres, you've gotten nothing so far that you haven't seen done before and (probably) done better on a dozen other shows. |
 |
| Amagi kind of takes the cake. This one comes close but at least it knows it's generic and sticking to the basics. |
| Nope. |

| Can you repeat the question? Wait... natsucule said: Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the question? . Fuck. Can't believe someone actually beat me to the punch. Gotta give credit where it's due. |

mayukachan said: Amagi kind of takes the cake. This one comes close but at least it knows it's generic and sticking to the basics. Sadly, I completely disagree with you on that. There has been nothing like Amagi so far so it's far from generic. Trinity Seven and Daitoshokan are what I would rank on no. 1, these two can share the spot. |
 |
| Wut? This is generic? Ahhh, so many generic/cliche shows are labeled as original masterpieces, but when a show slightly deviates from the norm it becomes generic? IMO as of episode 4 it looks to be a pretty damn original blend of 'generic' elements. I haven't watched a single show like this. Combining generic elements in a special way makes it unique. It has elements of generic harem, chuunibyou, SoL, supernatural, comedy, Those things separately create an average generic show adhering to the masses, but I've never seen a Supernatural slice of life with chuunibyou elements and a harem to boot. People really should stop labeling everything 'generic'.... Let's be honest, if you look hard enough. Every show is generic. I'd even say that this is one of the more original shows this season, UBW as someone above said has a lot more generic and unoriginal concepts (of course generic =/= bad) Or Parasyte (basically last season's tokyo ghoul clone) Or Sword Art Online II (Generic action fantasy/supernatural harem) And of course there is Trinity Seven, I feel like I've been watching Trinity Seven every season for the past two years.... |

| I am a human. |
| it looks like it would be generic but i find the execution itself to be pretty great actually, which i can't say the same for many/similar generic titles. |
Doominator10 said: I don't think this is that generic. I think Trinity Seven is much more generic than inou battle, (even though I still love Trinity Seven.) For me it doesn't matter as much how generic a show is, so long as it's execution is good. Truth |
| nobody on this website even knows what generic means anymore |
| There are so many generic VN/LN adaption this season that follows the exact same stereotypes & stories from any other generic VN/LN adaptions and you pick this one as the most generic? Like seriously, when was the last time you saw a group of teenagers getting superpowers and not using it to battle the demon king or an evil witch and save the world? If anything this show offers insight as to what would happen when ordinary people (not some chosen one mind you *cough*Trinity Seven*cough*) get superpower and how it affects their daily life. That is if you even have the mental acumen to start thinking about the deeper meaning before screaming "boooring" because the lack of Kamehameha after 2 minutes of each episode. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I dunno, but I would say I don't view generic as inherently bad. It's certainly more enjoyable than a couple other series I'm watching this season at least. |

Name one single show that is even somewhat similar to amagi. Haruhi series strikes me for the same mood/atmosphere and most high school comedies with the "oh we must reach this goal" The characters are reminiscent of other tropes too like the MC and two main females. |
| This can't be the most generic show so long as Trinity-7's present. |

| It's pretty generic, it could have been better if they decided to actually use their powers to make interesting things happen instead of just introducing them and then throwing them to the side for the sake of this being another school romcom where nothing happens and it'll end just the way it started. Episode 4 was pretty good though. But yeah, characters are your typical romcom cast, school setting, powers and evil guy are just side-plots, there's really nothing to look forward to, it just feels lacking and really average. |
 |
| No way. If I had to choose, it'd be either Daitoshokan or Trinity Seven. I would add Ushinawareta Mirai to that list but I put it on-hold at like episode 2 so I don't know if anything changed. Daitoshokan's story does have a unique-twist to it with the shepherd and all, though. I'd say this show isn't generic because, well, the main character Andou is a big part of it. While he is sort of the typical chuuni at times, he's a smart kid, and he'll explain his feelings straight out to people when needed. He says and does the right things, most of the time. |

| I don't get how people are using the term generic, at this point they are applying broad strokes while skipping the details, I mean people putting labels on things, we have shows like Rokujouma where it is a harem, sudden appearance, supernatural fest, but in the end it managed to be entertaining since it drew multiple elements despite most of them being generic. Generic is the plot not even trying,hero is average till girl shows up, villain shows up, hero loses to villain, then ecchi or love points up between hero and girl to beat villain, or hero puts up a preachy speech to save girl and she falls for him while hero remains oblivious. Here in inou battle, it is the story of how people would cope with gaining supernatural powers if they suddenly showed up and honestly the characters while cookie cutter, (tsundere closet-chuunibyou, cool beauty with princess fantasy, clueless high class lady, and small adorable loli) rather than the episodes solving all their personal problems like half the generic plots out there they only solve some of them for the characters, which leaves room for development and plotlines rather than forcing it with a sudden new backstory addition or just mass producing the harem. Still, on the generic scale I give this a 4/10 for standardized harem characters, but with better plot development then regular shonen stuff (still falls short of true serious slice of life, but it is more a comedy or light hearted level so it passes) It doesn't even remotely breach a combat type thing despite the set-up screaming we need a massive superpowered fight. A truly generic anime would be Trinity Seven with score of 9/10 on the generic scale, harem assembled, perverted protagonist (he's not dense so it knocked off a point from the generic scale but he just won't take advantage of the situation), Magical school, Combat with single arcs that lead to affection with the heroine/s. Cookie cutter characters, that later get extra backstory added on with zero foreshadowing ( I do believe that is important to set-up otherwise the author is just making it up as he goes and has no plan for the future which leads to terrible wrap-ups). End Rant (though it didn't start as one) |
| The writers are doing something subtle but very clever here. The teens using their powers "to make interesting things happen" (as Paulo27 put it) or to solve their conflict of the week actually WOULD be the "generic" thing to do - that's what every other superpower show does. The unique twist in InouBattle is that, while it lets the kids play around with their powers enough to remind us that they still have them, the heart of the conflicts in each episode are situations where their superpowers CAN'T fix anything. We all like to pretend it would make life so much easier for us if we could be Superman or Wonder Woman or Goku or Nanoha - we just unleash our awesome powers to beat the bad guy, fix our problems, and make the world a better place. In this show it doesn't work that way. * Chifuyu can create cosplay outfits out of thin air, but she can't create anything to alleviate Kuki's anger at her for keeping secrets. * Tomoyo can stop time, but she can't stop the insecurity and anxiety she feels about enjoying something as "uncool" as writing stories. * Mirei can take anyone's powers, but she can't take Andou's affection if he doesn't want to give it to her. It's a smart bit of writing that sets up meaningful conflicts where the characters can't just whip out their abilities and overpower their opponent or spam/cheese/shortcut their way to a solution; they have to think and communicate with each other and make a real effort at it in order to get through these issues. Frankly, the most useful superpower any of them have shown so far is Andou's "Outstanding People Skills" - and I really have to give this show credit for him, because he's a wonderful breath of fresh air. This kid is super-observant, he listens to the girls and respects their feelings, and he's a great communicator. For the male lead in a harem comedy (or in this case, a show setting up like one) to have even one of those three traits is rare - for him to have all three might be unprecedented. |

I agree, it's a subtlety that probably won't pay off much till the end of the show (if at all.) It might just blow over most people's heads. Still, it's an interesting idea and a good excuse for Trigger to say "hey, we can go outside our comfort zone and do pretty well." |

I agree completely! It's a new take on a familiar idea and in classic Trigger style! I think the people jumping to label the show as "generic" either haven't watched it or weren't paying much attention. |

SolvitePriest said: After Triggers previous works, I could understand someone being skeptical of them making a show such as this one. I'd have to agree with that; most studios stick to a single niche and work with that in the hopes of progressing within the genre and garnering a fanbase within that genre. So, it's no surprise that someone would be wary of a show that seems to be coming straight out of left field. With Trigger being both small and new, it may seem odd that they would be spit balling genres so early. It does, however, make sense to explore and expand one's options when the company is new to the game (albeit with many veterans on the team.) Being in a small studio that has yet to garner a definitive identity also gives them more independence- why not work with that independence while they can? At least, that is my understanding of the matter. |
