What is it with this show, /a/? Is it worth a watch?

>pros
none
>cons
everything

>>160650392

Elaborate?

>>160650430
the characters are shit, the plot is shit, the message is basic shit you learn growing up in elementary school

>>160650307
Pros
>Interesting character designs
>Nice style
>Interesting premise

Cons
>Love triangle bullshit
>Masochism guy is pretty much pointless except to pander to fujos and spout exposition to
>premise is never utilized to fully explore things beyond "it's good to understand the feelings of others"
>despite making sense in the narrative, MC's overwhelmingly apathetic attitude doesn't make him an interesting or likable character
>audience is constantly told how much the cast sees the main girl as a friend, despite her being an indifferent bitch who never does anything worthy of them giving a shit about her
>audience is expected to give a shit about these two characters' romance

It's just bad all around. I'm sure the writer is a shit person, because that's the only way you'd be able to come up with something so terrible.
In that way, it's amazing.

Well shit. What are some other shows with these type of "tied-together" premises that are actually good?

>>160651536
Kokoro Connect was terrible as well.
I can't really remember any others.

>>160651536
Kokoro connect if you like Sawashiro? I can't really tell.

>>160651619

Well, by tied together I don't exactly mean this C-Consciousness stuff. I mean the type where a group of people are forced into an environment (although most of the time it's the sadistic psycho game cliché) where they have to cooperate and/or progress together. The type of stuff 999 / Zero Escape was about. I particularly enjoy it when they manage to get the character development and design on point, which is why I was looking forward to Kiznaiver. Still no names on your mind?

Best girl? It'd be easy to exploit her insecurities.

>>160650307
the premise is fucking stupid. don't let that bother you.
watch it.
but don't try to take it seriously, and you'll enjoy it. it's fun.
I belong to the minority that liked it. 8/10 for me

>>160650307
Watch it and form your own unbiased opinion.
For once in your shitty life decide by yourself.

>"huh? you're asking an anime-related board why an anime is controversial in order to get a better idea of what you're going to be watching? shame on you, weakling."

Pros: Sonozaki is fucking hot. also excellent visuals

Cons: It's a show that's pretending to be 2deep4u. some of the "deep" themes actually pretty retarded and make 0 sense if you think about it

also Tenga became a little bitch

>>160652788

I heard some of the themes it has are very, very basic and not really deep at all. Is the anime that shallow, in terms of depth?

>>160652841
It's shallow as a puddle.
The only reason to watch it is to grasp how bad it really is.

>>160652879

I guess I may try a chapter or two to see how it goes - that's a must - but if what I've read is true, I see myself dropping it.

Post that .webm

You know the one.

I only watched it because I'm a fan of Miwa Shirow's art. I regretted it. Big waste of time
