I really hope there will be. I know that Kim watched it, but they're gone now unfortunately. Edit: Should've refreshed before posting lol. |

Very funny that even when the reviewer throws in a line like "I'm no fan of child pornography, but at least it's uncensored." as a sort of "please just leave me alone" olive branch to the most unsavory people in this community, that it doesn't work AT ALL.
You did not treat the anime equivalent of My Sister Got Stuck in the Dryer. with the respect it deserves so now they're going to poison this thread for the next two weeks. |

Regarding the magical girl show...lets be real, obviously, the girls being underaged is gonna be a turn off for most people. Fans don't wanna listen, but the people who would like that kind of show will always be in the minority (and rightfully so...)
I have no love for Solo Leveling, but IMO, it isn't a bad thing to spend so much time going over the mechanics, even if it might feel overly familiar to critics; since this is being thrust upon us as the big anime this season, it's safe to assume that viewers who don't watch a lot of anime may watch it. That said, I feel bad for anyone going in expecting some revolutionary new show; Solo Leveling isn't anything special compared to most power fantasy/light novel type shows, it's just more blatant about it. |

Well, Fluffy Paradise was so far what I was expecting, which is good
 I was planning to keep it as a night cap show if I enjoyed it, but if there's some serious plot I might have to change that...
Did I misinterpret this scene or were the subtitles maybe off? I thought they were summoning something for her sister to fight, but then out came a dragon by mistake |

Exactly. Reviewers are supposed to share their personal reactions, their personal opinions, and their personal experience. If other people enjoyed a show that the reviewer disliked (or hated a show that the reviewer loved), I guess that means the reviewer isn't speaking for everyone... which is obvious, because that was never the goal. While I can understand having strong feelings about a show you enjoy, I can't relate to those who feel attacked and go on the offensive when they disagree with someone's review.

Hasn't seemed like a ton of poison so far, mostly comments equivalent to "why are we having vegans review the new local steak house?" What I took from their reviews in aggregate is that Gushing is the sort of series none of them enjoy, so they're predisposed against it out of the gate, and it isn't so lavishly produced that it can overcome said handicap. The comments meanwhile seem to be wishing for someone who is into/looking for an edgy/trashy ecchi comedy to weigh in on if the show is worth the time it takes to watch for folks interested in the genre. Of course, I'm troll enough that I will absolutely be voting for Gushing to get weekly reviews when the seasonal poll comes out, I'd expect the resulting columns to be glorious dark comedy. |

No, it's not. None of the reviews are anti-ecchi. They do not like ecchi built around 13 year old girls. The fact that you can't make that distinction is extremely revealing. [EDIT: Again, removed direct insult to another poster. DON'T DO THIS! - Key] |

I disagree on this point. Yes, BDSM as practiced in real life requires consent by all parties, but there's also a fantasy element in play where the participants pretend otherwise. People who read or watch BDSM stories want to tap into that fantasy layer without it being intermediated by real world concerns. Now everything else about the show sounds like a dumpster fire, but I don't think the approach to BDSM is inherently illegitimate. |

This is actually an interesting question. Because, yes, in reality the submissive has full control over what happens in the bedroom, though the fantasy is that they don't. And fiction that depicts that can help tap into that feeling. But on the other hand, shouldn't it also be pointed out by someone (not necessarily in the work itself) that this isn't how BDSM works in reality, so that the audience doesn't go home thinking they can just Christian Gray their girlfriend into signing away their sex rights? |

Revealing of what? That I can separate fiction and reality? 100gfs was teenagers, which is still underage. And the final gf of the season was an adult woman, so it's not like it's a safe show in that regard. Again, I haven't seen any of the positive ecchi reviews that you mention unless the show is light on the ecchi elements. Heavy ecchi focus shows do poorly. The only exception I remember is Monster Musume, which was like 9 years ago. I'd like to have more than a single example of a heavy ecchi show doing well. Sure they can dislike the content, but it's just always the same "this is the worst ever, here's a joke rating. The cops are after me now/I'm on a list (a list for what? Content that Sentai licensed following legal processes? HiDive isn't the deep web. If it's there, it's fully legal)" stuff for every single show like this. |

I always wonder why a certain topic relating to underage girls always get passionatly defended by some users in regards to anime when it gets criticised...

Because it's allowed to exist. Because we don't like being insulted or called pedos or whatever for enjoying fiction that doesn't involve any real children. HiDive or AT-X or the people selling the disc releases aren't the deep web. If it's there, it's legal. People are only defensive because the criticism is too strong and goes too far. I also condemn CSEM and pedos very strongly. It's why I refuse to watch or read Kenshin, and why I'm so dissapointed in Oda for his lack of negative reaction when Watsuki was found, instead just defending the creep |

Mostly agreed, the age is clearly there just because it's default mahou shoujo setting, though frankly I'd like if they were aged up few years, since it wouldn't even change anything with the plot while making it feel a bit less creepy. I also agree about fantasy BSDM being allowed to not always be about consent, and besides spoiler[one girl gets into kinkiness quickly, while other doesn't actually care much about because she's actually shonen-style battle junkie who just wants to non-sexually beat Utena into pulp, ignoring the pervy stuff.] And yes, as manga reader I'd agree the beginning is somewhat boring and relies mostly on one horny joke/parody, but it does gets more interesting later, since MC is someone who feels very strongly about magical girls, still being their die-hard fan despite her corruption, which makes story go in some interesting places later. Obviously it's not for everyone, and it's not like reviewers didn't write about issues with plot and characters as well, so it's fine. Frankly it's the kind of series that you should watch for yourself to judge, unless reviewers' issues are deal-breaker for you anyway, in which case just skip it. . So far the season doesn't look to good, especially after great one in fall, but then again it was to be expected. |
