Please just respond to my thread already, /a/.

The intro was really nice and the animation too, but holy hell the plot was garbage.

The girls were cute, the plot was pretentious and airheaded.

That masterpiece was too dumb for /a/ to appreciate it.

I can't believe how shitty of a person Tenga truly was.

Good art and animation.

Too many characters, it was too rushed and nothing really mattered. Would've been better as 24 eps.

Just; too many character. Fuckin purple guy had no reason to be there and his backstory was NEVER explained. There wasn't enough backstory to Chidori and Kacchon's friendship to make their "breaking up" have any weight.

Would've been better with axing at least 2 characters.

>>147020418
This. the amount of characters would have been better suited to a 24 episode series, or they should have condensed the cast a bit.

But you know the Japanese and their Rule of Seven.

Honestly, though, I hear a lot of people saying glasses bitch's story should have been shortened or cut, but I disagree. Her story for me was what should have been the standard for all the other "secondary" members of the main cast.

I'm still annoyed that the punk guy never got more development than "I like the MC's doomed childhood friend!" I kind of wanted to see what sort of life event got him that scar on his hairline (perhaps coinciding with why he's afraid of dogs)

Her subplot was tangibly the only part of the story that Okada actually felt like writing. It was basically something lifted out of an unrelated, better, hypothetical show in her imagination, and crammed awkwardly into this to fill the void.

Despite the incessant shitposting, I actually really, really enjoyed Kiznaiver. Something about it really just pushed all my buttons, but I can't really explain why I liked it so much. But regardless, I enjoyed it immensely.

Also, I was an enormous Nori-chanfag so their relationship was very satisfying for me.

I thought it was really good. Mostly for the art style and characters though. The story was a bit rushed.

>>147021675
That's pretty much exactly how it feels. If there had been an entire 12 episode show about some straight man MC meeting and coming to understand this character and the reasons for her attitude, it might have been better than what we got.


Also, was anyone else kind of disappointed that the series kind of threw the premise of mental/physical link-up out because "friendship is stronger, yo."

I was honestly hoping for all the characters to become so mentally in sync that they became some kind of transcendent super-posse. I guess I was hoping for too much, but Trigger is supposed to be all about escalation of concept, so I don't think I was wrong to walk in with high hopes.

Dropped after 1 episode. High school trash for children. If you're over the age of 20 and unironically enjoyed this show, reconsider your life.

The story was very strong in the key points, but that just makes to points that were kind of left by the wayside more glaring.

The revelation of what happened to all the other phase 1 kiznaivers was particularly potent to me. It was a moment that had me looking at the teacher/nurse duo and genuinely think "How fucking dare you do this to someone again?" The fact that Sonozaki was fanatically on board for the project, despite being one of its greatest victims, made that all the more potent. Kiznaiver did some things so right, it make the parts that went kind of wrong seem all the worse.

Feel sorry for Trigger. Everything that went wrong with Kiznaiver has to do with decisions Aniplex and Mari Okada made. Trigger did a pretty good job with animation, direction and sound.

I don't think I was ever more happy to see a show completely fail than this. And it wasn't because I hate Trigger or something as I love Luluco. But holy shit the promotion for this was completely obnoxious and made it look like it was going to be the biggest thing ever when it was just terrible

I liked the two bullies more.

It just felt like a waste of an interesting concept. They could have focused on the world building of a future society where no one understands sympathy/empathy, to the point that scientists have to inject kids with it in a literal sense.
It didn't have to be super serious like Psycho Pass, it could have been Trigger's brand of wacky. But no, instead we have to concern ourselves with walking talking anime tropes and love triangles.
The only interesting character was the purple haired dude who was horrifically underdeveloped.
I mean, I can understand liking this show if you actually liked the characters and the melodrama, but what else is there besides the colorful animation?

That was the best part, anon. After going hard on an autist for not properly responding to the feelings of the girl he likes, he completely blew off the feelings of the girl who did like him. He just doesn't care and she still wants him.

>>147024678
I'm still so surprised this actually went somewhere. Not because I don't think it should have, god no.

But because this sort of "Assertive female making quasi-sexual advances on retard MC before slapping him down" dynamic rarely ends up being anything than slapstick comedy.

Kiznaiver had a lot of pacing issues and probably should have been more focused with the time it had. Ending could have been a lot better as well.

That being said, the Maki episodes were legitimately well done with a lot of good characterization and touching moments. They were the episodes that really made me love all seven of those doofuses.

>>147025780
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Kiznaiver is pretty much the definitive series that feels like it should have been 2-cour, but was forced to go 1-cour at the last minute.

Why is Okada a writer..

Probably. It was pretty entertaining to watch a show about two autists struggling to grasp the concept of empathy, and then visit the threads to see the exact same scenario play out.
