The great debate.
>>157166473
So do Nips only go for red hair as the staple lead girl in battle harems?
I've only fapped to Stella and not Julis. So I'll go rakudai kishi.
>>157166473
what are you talking about, /a/non?
the choice is pretty obvious
>>157166473
Is the one in the left Asterisk?
Outside of the generic genericness of these kind of things, in Rakudai we have a relationship where they end up fucking, with very little harem drama.
Rakudai has the better main heroine, while Asterisk has overall better girls
>>157167664
Fact: imouto was best girl.
No but seriously how do 2 LNs manage to both be about a generic male protagonist with a sword and hothead Tsundere partake in cyclical tournament arcs. This genre is practically begging to have some edgy "SUFFERING" like Re:Zero for isekai where since he's the MC he's being targeted 24/7 for trying to bang Tsundere or something to that effect.
>>157168089
Julis has a better personality than Stella. I think the main issue with her is that she's the main heroine and has to deal with that sad sack. She's actually a fairly agreeable character.
>>157166473
Left: 3/10.
Right: 2/10.
>>157168431
Fuck off
>>157168246
>head cannon
>>157166473
Stella >>> Pink Houki
Ikki >>> Ichika 2.0
Rakudai >>>> Asterisk
>>157166473
Literally why does Stella even exist? She has no role in the whole show. It should have been the MC and imouto as mains.
The romance with Stella was fucking terrible, and I find it hilarious how people always act like it's amazing just because it progressed the relationship at lightning speed.
The execution still sucked, they just had the opposite problem, put the characters in a relationship so fast that you didn't really believe the depth of their emotions.
>>157168914
>official canon
>>157168246
Ma nigga
>>157168948
She'd be 10x better if her chest was flat.
Left had better fights despite everything else
Anyone who legit thinks the borefest on the right was better is kidding themselves
Asterisk isn't good but Rakudai's 2% more originality doesn't help it either.
Both suck/Stella a cockslut
>>157166473
I prefer Asterisk. It was less boring.
>>157168978
Do you need 24 episode of misunderstandings to find any romance realistic?
>>157171454
Romance isn't realistic.
Both shit. I'm not sure why Rakudai gets so much praise for a terrible rushed "romance". It's just the opposite problem of typical harem LNs.
Stella is also badly written even by LN standards. Even Julis has a more believable personality and motivations.
Rakudai was cringey as fuck towards the end with the forced pity party. It made it hard to watch. At least Asterisk had Claudia.
>>157171593
>At least Asterisk had Claudia.
You say that as if it's a good thing.
>>157166473
There's no debate, really.
>>157171553
>LN standards.
haha
>>157166473
Asterisk had Saya and Kirin so it wins.
>>157171708
>tfw busou shoujo machiavellianism is the antimagic of this season
>>157171653
>>157171780
Best girl right here.
>>157171780
Saya looks very cute in that image.
Asterisk had Yukarin, so it wins by default.
stella > all else
>>157166639
Did they adapt the "red hair = feisty and headstrong" trope from the west?
>>157166473
They both had great fights, but while watching Rakudai, I was either pissed or bored and Gakusen has better girls and never pissed me off.
Rakudai 2/10
Gakusen 5/10
>>157166473
That season was fucking amazing. I tried watching rokudenashi but it just doesn't do it for me. Asterisk s3 when?
Stella
I watched Rakudai only because I enjoy masturbating to Stella
>>157173549
>best character was a side character
>>157166473
Left has disgusting cowtits but the right is DFC.
Obviously right is superior.
>>157177030
>right
>DFC
>>157177030
Julis is almost as big as Stella.
>>157166473
Asterisk has better characters, writing and animation so wins by default.
>>157166473
powers/fights were cooler in rakudai. Romance was better in rakudai. Stella>Julis. Ikki had a better backstory and personality than ayato. Just felt like rakudai had so much more to work with. Too bad it was so rushed
>>157166473
I have watched so many of these, I forget their names - it all just coalesces into one big blob of magical swords and powersuits.
Stella a best.
>>157180771
Stella a shit.
>>157181194
Fuck off Asterisktard
>>157168978
Let's just have the characters out around and beat around the bush up until the very end. Bonus points if we have a bunch of other girls we KNOW the main character doesn't like or won't get w8th him throw themselves at him.
These aren't that well written, but at the very least, one is willing to break the fucking mold. It's better to watch a relationship go through phases than more of the same We're Going Through the Phases shit.
>>157181694
(You) a shit.
>>157166473
Asterisk
>>157182528
But I'm not Pink Houki
>>157166473
Rakudai.
>>157166473
Asterisk has better OP, ED and OST than Rakudai.
Rakudai is 10% good than Asterisk story wise.
Ikki is miles better than Ayato.
Julis is better than Stella.
>>157185783
>Asterisk has better OP, ED and OST than Rakudai.
Aside from WAITING IN THE RAIN how can you be so fucking wrong?
>>157185980
Julius's VA was so much better than Stella's VA.
>>157185980
This.
God and to think I was hyped for Rasmus Faber on the OST.
Taimadou trashes them all.
>>157171708
BUT MAYBE WE'RE BOTH THE SAAAAME
No battle harems airing next season, right?
>>157166473
Asterisk had a good ED.
Rakudai had nothing.
>>157166473
You posted the same thing twice, what am I supposed to be debating here
>>157166473
Julis > Stella
Ikki >= Ayato
Shizuku > Saya
Asterisk setting > Rakudai setting
Rakudai fight > Asterisk fight

>dumping a shit in a ded thread
This is why nobody likes autistic Stellafag.
>>157166473
Enjoyed both with antimagic all the same. However the one that one me over was Asterisk, just because. And while I like many girls around the three series Sylvia is absolutely my best girl of all of them.
good shitposting.
Stella >>>> Pink houki
>>157166473
Rakudai. No contest.
>>157166473
Such forgettable character designs, I can already tell those shows must be shit.
