Even the anime general has a note in the OP that the Sun & Moon anime isn't all that good.

Hey anon, how about instead of being a mindless moron who can't think for themselves, maybe you watch it and form your OWN opinions instead of reaching out to this cancerous hivemind for an opinion?

lillie is shy, she's scared of pokemon and she's fighting her trauma prom past

I personally want more satoshi and kukui relations

>>32932882

she's just normal girl, she's not obsessed with satoshi's dick, she have no real goal at this moment, she possibly will become pokemon trainer because she had to take care for pikachu and she learned how to battle and she won [unfortunately not against real danger]

I'd say give it a shot.

The art style is charming, fun, and cute. Unlike previous seasons, the comedy is actually worth a chuckle sometimes. There's much less focus on adventure and intense, budget-y battle sequences but you'll get a decent scuffle every now and then. It's more reminiscent of a slice of life, but with Pokemon. Satoshi/Ash loses his Gary-Stu cardboard (lack of) personality from the X/Y series and is now written well enough that you would actually believe that these are the traits belonging to a 10 year old child. Character interactions are much more organic this time around.

Lillie is not so much like the past female traveling companions. So far she blends in with the rest of the Satoshi/Ash's group of friends, but I can see her becoming more prominent as the series goes on. She's a passable character and I enjoy her presence here much more than how bothersome she was in-game.

It's a chill watch, and good to wind down with.

Not really. I actually rank it as the second worst series so far (it is only slightly better than the original series).

Too much slice of life stuff. There are some character development episodes, but not too many considering there are six major protagonists. Gladion just barely showed up for one episode. Team Skull barely has a role in a few episodes.

Ash and co. only just barely arrived to Akala after 30 episodes in.

You're honestly not missing much. It's your average anime season about how Ash and Pikachu traverses through a whole new region and meets X girl and Y number of characters that were important to the games themselves. It's the same shit every year, don't act like it's going to be any different. The characters are okay, but the show itself progresses so slowly, you'll probably be bored of it halfway through. You'll get impressed over the animation in the first episodes, but then you'll realize it suffers the same thing all the other seasons had which is; stock animations. There'll be some days when animation will be consistent, other days, it won't.

If you like slice of life, have a go at it. If you dislike mundane things getting in the way of possible plot progress, this might not be for you. If you are already tired of Ash and Pikachu shenanigans, you might already be done with the series overall. There's some focus on the other characters, but then you'll always wonder that could have all gone towards making Ash a more tolerable character. In this series, he acts more like a kid, but a dumb one. If you're watching this for the Pokemon battles, don't even bother. If you're watching this more for the pokemon themselves, maybe it might be worth a watch since they do have each their own quirky personality, even if it doesn't differ much from the usual pokemon stereotypes every season bloody uses.

its ok, I watch it for Team Rocket, as always.

>>32934847
The "slice of life" meme is ridiculous. Literally the only thing that supposedly makes this show "slice of life", "comfy", "relaxed" and whatever other buzzwords faggots like tossing around is that the narrator no longer says "As Ash and his friends continue their journey towards x, they decide to take a break" at the start of each episode. That's it, that's all it apparently takes to change the entire genre for them.

>>32934929
Yeah, I have no idea where that came from. SM is not a slice of life show in the slightest.

>>32932385
>I liked lillie in the game
How do you wake up everyday and cope with having such bland taste? Do you even dress yourself up alone?

>>32932385
I'd say no.

The animation has improved, but it's different than past seasons and may not be entirely enjoyable.

There are humorous moments sure, but it's nothing to write home about.

Pokemon battles are few and far between, the plot and pacing are as slow as the Alolan Pokedex, and character development comes in bursts for characters since there are so many "main characters".

Lillie has autism, is scared of touching Pokemon, and is otherwise a non-factor.

Ash's team sucks, he does no training, and he is portrayed as a more goofy retard than any competent Ash in the past. He's not BW tier dopey, but he's definitely a dipshit. The trials are a joke and he isn't even doing all of them, there's little actual development of his team despite them all having personalities (which is par for when they're all in first stages), and I would hardly even call his team competent at this stage outside of Pikachu.

I'm not sure what SoL is supposed to entail, but this sure as hell doesn't feel like past seasons of Pokemon by a long shot.

>projecting this hard

If you expect it to be like the previous anime where it's the ongoing adventures of Ash and friends as they go on a journey, prepare to be disappointed.

It's definitely aimed at a slightly younger demographic than previous series, or at least one more diverse than just young boys.

You know how there were always episodes just about the Pokémon of the week that had nothing to do with progressing the overall narrative, that fans called "filler"? The whole series is basically that now.

If you're just looking to see the Pokémon from the game animated, it's plenty serviceable, but if you're looking for something like the previous series where you can get invested in the admittedly simplistic characters, you're better off watching XY.

I will say that people I know who've been out of the series for awhile and only got back into it with XY or SM have enjoyed it so far because they found the character stuff and the I WANNA BE THE BERRY VEST plot from previous series really cringey and feel if they're gonna watch a dumb cartoon for kids they'd prefer if it were these simpler self-contained episodes.

>>32935981
The show has always had these simpler self-contained episodes. Johto was FULL of them, and people are constantly shitting on Johto for being the series where nothing ever happened.

>>32935981

>>32935981
>It's definitely aimed at a slightly younger demographic than previous series, or at least one more diverse than just young boys.
I find this series more cheeki than the last ones though, heck i even think that an adult will enjoy more SM than Dp or Xy.
If you think that more battles = more mature, neck yourself.

>>32936042
Yeah, real mature Pokemon fans like you and me hate battling. Gamefreak needs to cut that shit soon, only kids care about it.

SM is hit-and-miss. The comedy was good, but they've run so many jokes into the ground, and they have an over-reliance on funny reaction faces. Plus there's a ton of filler, and the few battles we've gotten suck. Mix it all together and you have a saga that's gotten stale a little faster than usual.

But there are a lot of good points. There are some good Pokemon on the cast, Ash's friends as a whole aren't bad, the series feels fresh in terms of atmosphere, and Team Rocket feels more credible as threats.

-4/10 when compared to other anime, 6/10 by Pokemon anime standards. But it could easily improve as we go along.

>>32936000
Johto isn't hated for being heavy on filler, it's because Johto (and Hoenn) were heavy on BAD filler. I don't mean "I don't like SM, so its fillers are bad" level bad. I mean "nearly every episode has the same plot, but with a different Pokemon causing the day's problem" bad.

>>32936126
The Dugtrio episode from SM was literally the same type of standard filler plot we got in Johto.

>>32936141
The context is important. Using that plot once is different than using it for six episodes in a row.

You know, japan, the main target of the anime, like the series. And, no, i'm not talking about ratings here, i'm talking about even other anime staff members who praise things like the animation.
And not only professionals, the fanarts for example arrive faster than before because the japanese artists seems more interested in the anime.

>>32936336
Japan doesn't like SM very much. The discussion of it has been severely reduced on both dedicated forums, 2ch and social media.
>And not only professionals, the fanarts for example arrive faster than before because the japanese artists seems more interested in the anime.
And this is just a blatant lie.

What are you even trying to do? Are you this desperate about trying to convince random faggots on /vp/ SM is super popular? Why? You're allowed to like things that aren't popular.

>>32932385
if you can make peace with the fact that youre watching a childrens cartoon its pretty fun. Its cute, its light, its often funny and its amusing! its not that serious, and that drives /vp/ crazy.

>>32932412
better shit is still shit

>>32936042
That's exactly what I'm saying though. It's easier for adults to enjoy because it takes itself a lot less seriously.

>>32936000
I said that, but Johto still had an overall drive towards a particular goal. That's why those episodes are considered filler but in SM that's the whole show.

I'm not saying SM is bad, it's just a different direction. As an example Pokémon is usually like the early seasons of Smallville where there's an underlying development that is carried out veeeeeeeeeeery slowly as a subplot to all the monster of the week stories, SM is like Phineas & Ferb where there's a central conceit but the characters aren't going anywhere. The episodes aren't filler because there's nothing to fill, monster of the week IS the show.

>>32939674
Of course not. AG and DP are better anime than both XY and SM and knows how to balance comedy, drama, and character development. Sure the budget is low when it comes to battles, but it strategy-wise, it's pretty good, especially with Paul in DP, A rival the likes of Alain and Gladion will never surpass even if Alain won the Kalos league. Ash was at his peak in those two generations, not exactly a shonen self-insert Gary Stu, but also not a retarded child who only helps people for ice cream.
