The Winter 2021 Preview Guide

I'd rather marathon a GoHands anime than sit through this again.

i have two issues with the rape of the rape hero reviews. one is that they mention consensual sex ,iirc its not consensual if one person is using brainwashing, or maybe they changed that bit in the anime? also, how can a show be divisive if nobody likes it? this is not goblin slayer or shield hero, i have yet to stumble upon a person who likes and/or defends this show.

If I'm understanding correctly, I think you haven't watched the episode. There's no brainwashing in the one sex scene in the first episode. Just an enthusiastic maid and the protagonist.

or you're a weirdo who wants to see other people get upset watching this show

Watched the "uncensored version" of redo of a healer and have to say it was pretty darn boring as a first episode. :/

Expected more from it, let's how the second episode fares if it stays this tame then the anime is just a waste of time.

While I'm sure there will be all kinds of controversy around Redo in the days ahead, the most interesting aspect about the first episode was seeing James's review and him talking about characters being off-model.

For whatever reason, I missed the memo on what it means for something to be off-model until now. It's a common enough criticism to find, but it's the kind of criticism I would gloss over as it is outside my area of expertise.

So it was a little amusing to look it up and be bombarded with art lessons.

I searched this entire thread for a Pui Pui Molcar reference and didn't find a single one! Y'all are missing out. Guinea pigs that are also cars! Just give it Show of the Year now and save the next 11.5 months the trouble.

while the visual style heavily resembles Yamada's, including the cute girls with an emphasis on character acting and dramatic lighting, and both creators' fondness for queer themes.

He then proceed to spend as much time as possible in the next few days with said boy and eventually show him his butt. He then take him away to his house where other little boy lives.... I'm calling the cop. RIGHT?! Don’t get me wrong; I mostly? liked the episode, but those scenarios were *creepy* and I was surprised that none of the reviewers brought up just how creepy it was (or would have been, without the supernatural explanation). I want to yell at the mom not to send little boys to wait on stranger adult men in private, *in the bath*.

As I understand, sending son to serve customer in the bath is hardly weird given that Japan was pretty used to bath nudity and this is countryside, so probably still more old-timey , so people - pretty reasonably - just don't make big deal of bath nudity, and customer are supposed to be taken care of. He doesn't ask for "specific little boy", just for the other one then the one currently helping him. Making the showing of tail into something sexual is weird too. I suspect the original comment was more of a joke, and not sure how much this one is, but it's all pretty normal once you remove certain cultural preconception about bath time=sexual.

After remembering how things went with Cross Ange, Redo of Healer's reviews went as I expected. Everyone ranks into the dirt, except Theron who has a more chill middling take.
