LOL Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei sucks.
nah, it's not perfect but with the recent episode it keeps getting better.
Wait till next season, we are gonna have 2 GARY STUS HAPPENING AT THE SAME TIME can't wait for the bitchfest to start on /a/
WTF is Gary Stu?
>> Mary Sues are absolutely "perfect"
>> and invincible character.
Dunno about you, but I like those type of characters. A lot. I absolutely hate it when the protagonists are equally matched with the antagonists. That's boring. Seen it a million times.
Now having someone kicking everyone's asses, THAT I call good entertainment.
Like:
Onizuka (GTO)
Yagami Light (Death Note, first Arc anyway)
Kirito (SAO)
Lelouch (Code Geass)
Conan Edogawa (Meitantei Conan)
Alucard (Hellsing)
Kirika (Noir)
Rushuna (Grenadier)
Midou Ban (GetBackers)
Hei (Darker Than Black)
Yagami Kazuma (Kaze no Stigma)
Kenshi (Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari)
Sakamaki Izayoi (Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?)
.
.
.
Mary Sues are absolutely "perfect" and invincible character.
It's a classic rookie mistake to make when you're not all that experienced at creating a story (ie. a book, fanfic, comic, role-playing session, movie, etc).
You make the hero be perfect in every single way imaginable, with no faults or weaknesses whatsoever.
He's the Man everyone loves, the men respect him and the ladies just want to line up outside his bedroom door. He beats all his enemies with the flick of his wrist, and he's also a genius so smart he won a Nobel Prize when he was 15.
He's the Superman with no kryptonite. He's the powertrip daydream of a 14 year old... and he's utterly, UTTERLY boring as a story.
...
and that's kinda where Mahouka is atm.
This just raises the question wtf a Mary Sue is.
Some people use that as a term for a male Mary Sue.
GARY STU >>>>>>> Useless MC
All hail Lelouch,
All hail Britannia.
ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!
ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!
ALL HAIL BRITANNIA!
How the F did nisekoi faggot raku get on that list hes stupid as shit when it comes to love. God japans taste is so goddam awful. Are these regular watchers or those otakus?
I think his is a Gary Stu top rank.
Also wtf no Kurumi Tokisaki?!!!
Bullshit!
She has by far more personality than the other characters from the chart and her voice actress is sex to the human ears.
Well, I don't find her sexy when she's singing heavy metal (Death Devil), but still like her a lot.
Newtype's lists are always biased because of the demographics of their core readers.
This is why I stopped buying Newtype magazines.
Hooray for Chaika the Coffin Princess!!
Give it more coffin power for this season!
Chaika?
Hm Yes, Chaika
This list is fail because it doesn't have Mechazawa
cromartie? Fuck ya!
This season i cant find a series to love.....hate Mahouka.
Watching Mushishi, Akuma no Riddle and Sidonia but not loving any of them.
Could say Mushishi wins but sinse its no near the quality of the first season its not a win.
i find this new mushishi to be even better than the first season, i'm totally enjoying it
Of you can't like these anime why the hell did you watched it in the first place
I find No Game, No Life pretty hilarious, mostly because it just takes the piss out of so much of today's modern, fanservice ridden anime.
Black Bullet?
Your mom?
bokura?
Chitoge in 10th, Kosaki in 6th... wtf?
The heroines that the author introduces second are almost always better than the first. Leading to our dilemma where one day we get to see their hearts broken.
I'd have to agree, wtf? Who do they find to fill out these polls?
I don't know a single person who would rate Kosaki over Chitoge...
Chitoge never was the most popular even in the manga polls. Onodera is usually near top while Marika varies along there too.
That's because Onodera's a team of three I guess.
onodera --- bitch
BS as usual...
Chaika good! Chaika fun to watch!
Disappointed that WIXOSS didn't make any list.
They seriously picked the gary stu and followed it up with another gary stu? what the fuck is wrong with japan's taste?
Burn this list with fire
the problem is that most anime is basically twilight level of wish fulfillment. you might find a couple titles that actually have some sense of artistic integrity, but most of it is to give the viewer a power trip and escape from their sad lives.
Since anime is made for teenagers and looney otakus, it's hardly very surprising. The market for powertrip Gary Sue daydreams is pretty huge in both of those two groups...
Sounds more like you need to get some taste.
I find the lack of Ping Pong disturbing...
Ping Pong is for gay shit
true, ping pong is getting to a masterpiece level in the last episode.
to be fair it started quite slow though and majority of people doesn't watch it any further if the first episode doesn't interest them too, so...
as much as the anime and its adaption is interesting dont think it is worth that much, though it is still way better of six of the anime on the list.
rofl nico nico nii~~
fuck off love live is always the top one no matter what season it is.
For once, I wish there was a most popular poll that didn't allow entries for any anime released in the past 2 years. I'm sick of the fickleness of the "new" entries that we all know are going to be gone in a year. Mikasa Ackerman excluded.
lol, how can they mention lelouch on this terrible list? if the guy from mahouka (cliche crap anime) is first, lelouch should be number 0.
I generally think that people who hate on Mary-Sue's and/or Marty-Stu's/Gary-Stu's are just jealous. ┐(￣_￣)┌ I never saw anything wrong with "perfect" (no such thing actually exists, obviously) characters. I don't know what's so bad about Kirito, I find him to be a likeable character. ┐(￣_￣)┌
If none of you like this why is every one commenting on it, it's not like we are forcing our opinion on you guys, and this list does not affect anyone of you in any ways.
Why everybody hates WIXOSS ????
