>Comedy show >suddenly serious melodramatic subplot

I thought /a/ loved silly things turned into melodrama.
Like Madoka and Heclk.

>>138437329
Madoka was never a comedy and warned us beforehand that it was going to get dark

like it opened up with apocalyptic Japan and a character death by the 3rd episode

>>138437239
the melodrama starts with karma

>>138437239

>serious

barely. the media at hand still takes every opportunity to make fun of itself.

Good thread

>>138437239
>watching Assclass for any other reason besides the trap

>Madoka
>Silly

It set the tone right off the bat. You're confusing character design with tone.

>>138437239
It's always had a serious undertone to it. Part of the comedy of the show is being whimsical 90% of the time and then throwing the characters into some pretty dramatic situations.

You know, kind of how the first fucking season ended. Or how the first season's antagonist got introduced. Etc, etc, etc.

I really, really like this thread. Glad to know your opinion OP, keep up the good posting!

Spoilers when

>>138437572
It's not even that. The concept of a super octopus threatening to destroy the Earth and the fact that the government enlisted a bunch of high school students to kill him was amusing, but then they threw in some sappy story about how those kids are the lowest ranking students and it sucks to be in that class because everyone looks down on them.

>>138437857
How else are the shitty kids who read the manna going to self insert?

>>138437849
Tomorrow
But for every second this thread exists we wait LONGER

>>138437857
The government didn't choose the kids.

He just said "Wanna know what? I'll give these little assholes a year to do it before I destroy the Earth. You can teach them whatever you want, but it's gotta be these guys, not anyone else."

Lewd as fuck

Highschool setting...
Never picked up

>>138438150
>they're not high school students

I read this and I watched the anime and I always assumed they were high school students.

>>138438256
Gurren lagann
Flcl
Steins gate
Cowboy bebop
Here are 4

Now the question is name a good anime that takes place in highschool

>>138438256
Plenty of shows set in middle school.

>>138438395
>Classroom in the title
>the series actually has a school setting
What kind of bullshit is this?

>>138438506
The bullshit thats oversaturated in most anime today

>>138438244
SnO had the whole humanity killed at the end of the first chapter because of a line taken seriously. It always had a grimdark subplot.

>>138438552
Multiple titles from this season alone don't have a school setting
You're just a lazy ass who's here to complain

>>138437239
It's still shounen, retard. Not strictly comedy.

>>138438449
not that guy but
>kids

You could've at least said pokemon or digimon

>>138438784
How do I really know if this is for another anime?

This is the main reason why it's so popular with nip kids. It's their version of wish fulfillment that reincarnation/mmorpg stories do for older otaku. In Japan, which school you go to and your grades will decide where you go for college, which decides your chances of success in your future desired career. It's a lot less lax than it is in the west.

Imagine some kid being grinded through this system discovering AssClass. The octopus teacher goes out of his way to help you reach your fullest academic potential by going out of his way for you and giving you effective individualized tutoring. To the point where the beaten down underdog class can academically compete with the best.
