>worst asspull

Lolnope

Why the fuck japs still do this "power of friendship" shit? It's the main reason that so many people hate the whole battle shounen genre

>>151521943
They barely, if ever, do thepower of friendship thing anymore. Not even OPs post is a power of friendship thing

>>151519242
I remember it too well. After Kid and Black Stars epic combo attacks to give Maka time to save Soul i expected better. Then when i got into manga i realised that they skipped alot of good things like the Book of Eibon arc, and the battle of the moon. This anime could have been one of the best in its genre too. Well, I'll always remember Black Star

>>151522860
Literally every single fight in fairy tail is won through PoF

>>151522906
>i realised that they skipped alot of good things like the Book of Eibon arc
>good things
>the Book of Eibon arc

Also you can't skip things that hadn't happened back then. Now, cutting of the attack against Arachne's castle, that was a sad thing to do.

Saint Seiya Omega must be the worst case of Power of Friendship in history

>villain survives a athena exclamation, literally the most powerful technique that a saint can use
>the three gold saints are defeated
>later he kicks the ass of the bronze dudes but they don't die even though the villain just defeated 3 gold saints that are vastly more powerful
>the bronze dudes just unlock a power up through frienship and defeat the villain with no effort

Saint Seiya Omega was the reason that I was never hyped about Dragon Ball Super. Only Toei can do shit like this and get away with it.

>>151522906
Book of Eibon dragged on forever, the last arc was dull too.

>>151519242
The manga ending wasn't exactly great either. I don't know which one I like the least.

>Shocked that Gold Saints job
You clearly know nothing about Saint Seiya

>>151523429
One of these gold saints were Shiryu, one of the main guys in the original series, everyone was expecting him to wipe the floor with Hyperion's face for revenge because of the death of his old partner, and instead of giving some nice fanservice to the old fans Toei chose to give the most retarded and cliche solution that someone can think.

>>151523391
The manga's shitty ending retroactively made me like courage punch more.
They were both shitty asspulls and anticlimaxes, but at least one of them looked good

>>151519658
nah they were pretty much like that from the start so you expect that

>>151519242

It was topped before it even came out!
The "lol we in Germany now!" Ending is the 9th Symphony of anti climactic asspulls! What makes it worse is that faggots still defend it!

>almost 8 years later
>no anime has ever topped this animations
ftfy

>>151519658
Well, OP said anticlimatic, and with Erza you always expect some asspull so there's nothing climatic to it.

>>151530476
It's really sad when people try to defend the original anime ending only because FMAB's ending is too "happy" for them

>>151528518
Wasn't One Piece's only PoF asspull the fight against Rob Lucci?

I mean, sure One Piece is full of nakama shit and all, but that was the only fight that I remember where a legit asspull happened to garantee a win.

What is Jotaro vs DIO in Part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure?

>>151531750

FMAB was too shounen-y for a lot of people with over the top fights while FMA had a tad more drama, less tropes, more grounded, and felt more akin to a dark fantasy.

>>151527929
What happened?

>>151532514
>Less tropes, more grounded, and felt more akin to a dark fantasy.

Except non of that is actually true as it was tropey as fuck, not at all "Grounded" and was as far from "Dark Fantasy" as one can get, made even worse when they went to Germany out of nowhere.

Add it pointlessly edgy shit like Rose getting raped and Lust reciting Emo poems after killing a guy, it was a bad Fanfic in anime form

>>151533518
>Rose getting raped
damn, that's retarded
I think this might've discouraged me from ever watching it

>>151533518
>>151533623
Not just raped, fucking gangbanged so hard her mindbreak stuck like Casca's. Spat out a kid too.
Can't blame those soldiers too much though, she's pretty damn rapeable.

>>151522963
Is Fairy Tail all battle shounen genre?

>>151534055
IIRC it has basically all the same shit

"Same type of Stand" was a pretty bad asspull, but JoJo is anything but anticlimactic.

>>151534113
Are you illiterate?

>>151534243
Are you?

>>151533975
shit they pushed the edge too damn far on this one
I might still give it a try if I'm in the right mood, because I'm really curious to see how they wrote the story

>>151534360
>people hate battle shounen because power of friendship!
>battle shounen rarely does PoF anymore
>But Fairy Tail does PoF constantly!
I ask again, is every single battle shounen out there Fairy Tail?
Is Fairy Tail all battle shounen?
Is Fairy Tail the only battle shounen in existence?

I'll help you out a little.
Just because Fairy Tail does PoF does not mean every single other battle shounen does PoF.

>>151534490
I didn't say that I wasn't even the person you responded to. I just said fair tail did it

>>151534562
I didn't say you said anything but the fact that Fairy Tail does it.
Fairy Tail doing PoF is completely besides the point.
Hence, your illiteracy.

yeah, neither the anime or manga had great endings.
The manga had enough neat shit to keep me reading though.

>>151519658
I think fairy tail is the series that taught me to never have high expectations about something that can't meet up to them, I feel like trash when I remember that I read this piece of shit until the beginning of the edolas arc only because I believed that the series still had some potential to be something more than Frienship&Boobs:the manga.

That was anticlimactic on purpose though.
Besides, it's only 2 chapters long.

>>151519242
Fuck you I liked it

Everyone else spent all their energy on super fighting the bad guy, which played into his fear and paranoia, the twisted psychology that empowers him and, by the end, had become the force that gave him form. Maka hit him in that psychology with her "courage" speech, and managed to crack that mad ceritianty, which, as a being of madness, destroyed him.

>>151537942
You forgot about her being a weapon from nowhere

>>151526774
I didn't watch much of the anime, but Shaman King's got shitcanned before it ended (and then revived due to fan support), so I'm not surprised if the anime had a shit ending.

So you hardly watch anime then.

This is one of the best ways to spot a pleb. Ending was way better than brotherhood's, you're just a fag

>>151528518
I don't know, they talk about it a lot but it doesn't usually lead to any random power-ups.

I gotta ask, what was the manga ending and was it really that bad? I find it hard to believe anything could beat this steaming pile of shit.

>>151530476
>>151531750
The ending was great for being completely made up on the spot. It also made sense if you read the manga (up to that point in 2004).

I personally prefer it over FMAB's.

>>151533518
You should actually back up your claims.

Rose getting raped happened because of the army crushing the rebellion in her town, and she's a pretty young woman.
The whole show was about the evil and destruction in the world done so that a true philosophers stone could be made. Are you fucking retarded?

>le rape is edgy! i can't watch anything with rape!

Buddy, they don't even show it, and barely imply it. "FMA is edgy" is a meme, and a lazy one at that so Brotherhood fags don't have to come up with any real criticisms as to why they don't like the 2003 show.

>>151523354

Author had no real idea how to end things. I wanted more explanation as to how things worked, god/embodiment system, maka's mother being MIA, why her family line has that one spell, more madness expanded upon (it was a short lived power up, never resulted in lasting consequences), do something the the primary casts relationship etc.

And we get a seal the evil with another evil suicide ending.

>>151533218

Pretty much courage punch (none of the maka is a weapon stuff). Also tits.

Just didn't live up to any hype it built.

>>151530050
>tenjou tenje
any other manga did the "protagonist becomes the villain halfway trought" thing?

>>151543877
>"FMA is edgy" is a meme
meanwhile, "FMA is good" is a meme made by nostalgia fags who watched it when they were kids.

>>151535774
>>what is this fight
comedy gold

>>151538076

Not really.

Mother is a wielder, father is a weapon. Presumably being a weapon is genetic (we never actually find this sort of shit out), bones doing yet another anime original ending did their best to extrapolate from information already known. The bullshit is 'why didn't she get tested?', if they even can be. The possibility for that twist was always there.

>>151528859

Roller skates into full blown magic, huge summons and tech-magic that destroys the landscape.

What the flying fuck happened. Why start in 'our reality' and give characters some sort of shoe wands? Bonkers premise that just didn't work out in story or design. It always looked gorgeous though.

>>151531750

It was too happy.

Granted, the brothers are the only time we see more than one individual do their first human spell. But allowing Al to sacrifice himself for victory would be okay, or Ed.

You can view it as well written with all the exit options laid out, just not the ones you'd often take. Sacrificing magic use, being able to go through another door etc all things not explored in the series, but we know they are there. The main thing I hated was everyone getting their souls back, everyone should be fucking dead, they had like 30+ minutes of no soul (many do die, crashes etc).

Beating father was well planned and executed, but also came out as one of those 'win because ego of bad guy makes them not plan for everything'.

>>151519242
You clearly haven't watched the final episode of Chaika S2

>>151522963

Yeah but the soundtrack actually makes it feel less dumb for me. It just kinda pumps me up and for a second I believe the power of friendship could work.

Anyone else looking forward to Soul Eater Brotherhood?

>>151531784

Eh, OP has 'power scales'. Story tends to choose when or where people loose (or kizaru would pew pew lazor into everyone's head). Asspull/contrivance is everywhere if you view swordsmen as bullshit because they can cleave steel/stone at a distance, but can't cleave groups of people.

Many more combat examples as well, reading OP you just accept that the plot and current arc theme will take precedence over logical combat. Everyone is sequentially as powerful as they need to be.

This garbage says otherwise.
