Shy 2nd Season Episode 10 Discussion

Bruh what do you think this is, the Dumb Age of 90s comicbooks?

No matter how long ago Naruto ended "talk no jutsu" will never stop.

@SHINOBI-03

You mean when creators actually had balls and weren't afraid of the Twitter mob?

I'm absolutely in love with Teru (I have her figurine) but I fully acknowledge this show isn't gonna stand the test of time and won't be talked about in the future despite being two cour

It's too safe

@EcchiGodMamster I mean Season 2 has been a big improvement from season 1 but do agree that even for me as a writer this shit is getting on my nerves. I respect backstory and building but some of this is just bullshit filler dialogue. It took way too long for Mai to fully turn babyface.

talk no jutsu... the most boring attack, i HATE when they say "i don't want to fight you".... just stfu and punch the bitch



i like nothing more than seeing girls kick eachothers asses, and just bad women in general, so if theyre gonna spend half the time talking im gonna get fucking annoyed

but yea, definitely better than s1 overall

@EcchiGodMamster This one of the few times of," Bro just fight already," makes a lot of sense. It's one thing to advance a story and develop the characters it's another repeating the same shit for the fifth time. I wish the dub was caught up as the cast for this is underrated. :(

@MasterHavik

when its girls vs girls or them fighting an evil women, im not tryna hear bullshit like "i don't fight women" or "i don't wanna fight you"

guh... i miss the ecchi battle days when creators didn't give a shit....


i don't watch dubs, but im sure some are good

@EcchiGodMamster Those shows were kind of not well animated and had a short shelf life. I respect what they're going for here but all of what we saw with Ai and Mai could have been three episodes tops. There is a way to do without overstaying its welcome. I like seeing ladies throwdown but the fight gotta have weight and meaning to it this one was fill with a little too much talking at times. Also, I'm convinced Shy and Chinese dude are gay and you can't tell me otherwise.

This dub is pretty good. I'm just mad that Pepska doesn't have a Russian accent but Stardust's accent is top tier.

@MasterHavik

several of those shows are STILL being milked to this day, some show up in collabs and occasionally get figurines to this day, as well as pachinko machines.... this show is only going to be remembered or shit... even known about by people like us

i still see ecchi battle anime gifs being posted wherever, especially twitter, even shows from 10-20+ years ago

those shows actually took risks and did things that were controversial, you know, things that help series get noticed... the most controversial thing this show does is show sexy shots of her ass

this series even being a new one isn't even being talked about NOW... its mostly gonna be forgotten by next year.. its TOO safe

@EcchiGodMamster I mean we gotta keep in mind this kind of a kid's show in tone and aim. It's very childlike with how characters act. There is a reason why we don't have a lot of adults. Also Shy isn't too safe...that's how Shy is as Shy wants to be another MHA and other battle shonen with the difference being their man character is a woman instead of man. I don't think people losing clothes would make it better but better pacing and better character writing would. It has some parts to it but is lacking something that makes it unique they want this to be a big hit with how they draw Shy and Pepska but Shy is lacking that punch to make it the next big thing. It will get a season 3 though.

What has really helped this show is how they have developed shy. I love how they have handled her this season.

i mean, you can say that, but anime THRIVES on controversy and you know its true... the vast majority of the most popular anime tend to do things that get the twitter types raging

this show doesn't really do anything outside her sexy outfit and some butt shots to make it memorable or get people talking... which theyre NOT

not to mention the quote on quote "woke" lines that are gonna turn many people off

MHA is way more adult than this show is, its not even close

@EcchiGodMamster I mean you don't need to cause drama to be popular. Look at Re:Zero for example. Another good example is To Your Eternity and Vinland Saga. You can just be a really good show without having to do what Goblin Slayer in its episode 1....just to lay an egg with season 2. Same goes for Shield Hero season 2....which thankfully kind of got saved by season 3 and 4. So it's cool in theory but being really good like a Tower of God, Solo Leveling, Viral Hit, and Oshi No Ko(Yes I know Oshi No Ko doesn't hold back with its social commentary and how it presents its characters but it's still a really good show on top of that.).

Let me ask this. Do you think an Arifuerta is only getting sequels because of the drama it caused by flat out disrespecting the source material?

Re:Zero originally got people with its extreme violence and extreme edginess which i saw a ton of people whining about

i don't know anything about To your Eternity or Vinland Saga

Shield Hero peaked at s1 and has been mid ever since... i think the majority of people can agree with that

as for the rest of the shows, yes, sure, but i was originally talking about anime with girls fighting in sexy outfits so i don't know how we got here

when I say controversy I'm talking about things portrayed in the show, but even then, Arifureta has alot of violence and sexy moments, plus stuff like the stake when the dragon girl was still a dragon


thinking a series like Shy is gonna be memorable without going a few steps further is nothing more than a cope, its NOT the type of anime most people are going to see the cover of and get interested in watching which other female fighting anime did

at least according to one youtuber who talks about what people in the west and japan are watching, i don't think its even popular in Japan

@EcchiGodMamster I mean it is in a crowded market so that isn't shocking. Also Re:Zero hook you with a very good story and actually did the timeloop storytelling correctly which isn't easy to pull off. To keep this about shy though....it doesn't need Shy getting naked as we have seen a cheap pop only lasts for so long and Shy doesn't need to go there it needs better character writing and pacing. Those are the flaws I'll just roll my eyes if Kufufu and Shy were naked. We have seen with a Kobayashi Maid Dragon you don't need to do that to keep someone's attention and characters like Lucoa dominate the rule 34 scene.

Shy's main audience is clearly kids due to its tone, setting and ages of characters.(Same goes for MHA too.).

this is a cope

no one is talking about this show and no one will be in the future, if it weren't for her sexy outfit it'd be even more forgettable to most people... i'm not gonna sugar coat the obvious truth lol

im trying to be realistic here, even if it had better this and that, the fact is most people aren't gonna watch it cause it won't even catch their attention and even if it did, they'd probably get bored after an episode or 3


and no, the majority of MHA watchers are not kids/teens, the majority are adults just like most anime, it just seems like its kids/teens because teens tend to gravitate only to shounen

@EcchiGodMamster Oh trust me similar to Spy x Family the fandom is made up of young kids. It looks like adults because me and you are legit in our 30s at this point. There is adult fans but shonen is always made for kids. The same goes for even some action cartoons back in the day. Also it isn't cope as I don't see Shy as some all time great series but I feel with better pacing and character writing you would have a lot more people interested as one of the flaws to the anime medium is dragging out plot points and arcs for profit instead of getting to the point. While I do agree it doesn't have anything memorable outside of Shy and maybe Peska. I think Shy has enough here to keep running for a good bit.

Teru getting on top of Mai like that lol

I got a little teary. It just seems nice to have someone care and love unconditionally even if you fuck up. That is something really rare these days it seems.

I like seeing Kafufu in low energy mode. I vibe with he better there


I saw a similar poll before the ones who watch the most time wise are in their 30s. I think manga readers may gravitate even older. What was this poll from?


Pretty sure a kids show wouldnt have a hardcore functional alcoholic like Pepesha lol

even in japan, they just recently did a poll... no... the majority of anime watchers are adults in their 20s and 30s.... no... its not mostly kids... lol

no... no they wouldn't... the show isn't even going to catch most peoples attention and they'll get bored a few episodes in even if they decide to try it out....

i wish i could agree as i have Teru's figurine, but i gotta be realistic here, NO ONE is talking about it and it will be forgotten

@EcchiGodMamster I mean being talk about is nice but even when you're bad but somehow derp your way to a season 2 it can happen. The amount of merch moving is going to be deciding factor because that is what they look at. Chained Soldier flopped like a fish in bluray sells but people bought the merch. We got a season 2 for a show I consider to be very average in its plot, animation, and execution.

@MasterHavik

are you really impying that Shy is anywhere near comparable to Slave?

Slave was being hyped up as "the next Highschool DxD"... its an EXTREMELY simp worthy series.... only suffering from the shitty adaptation of s1

the only people simping for Shy are people like me
