I wasn't talking about quantity. In fact, I was talking about how it was used. It only felt "shock value" in, like, one scene and didn't feel it detracted from the scene. For the most part, it actively avoided showing much gore at all. Even episode 7(?)'s opening death sequence wasn't all that graphic, despite being pretty brutal. But we weren't talking about people who understood the show. If you have to preface a video essay with something like "I didn't understand the point, there probably is none" [as Gigguk did in one of his Re:Zero videos] you probably shouldn't be giving breakdowns of it. And someone not understanding the point of a show that has an entire episode dedicated to two characters discussing the point of the show does boggle my mind, rightfully so. I'd disagree about it not delivering considering it was definitely my favorite of 2016. I really don't care how focused a show is if the material contributes to the story and none of the many detours were arbitrary or meaningless.

Maybe? A lot of manga authors put stuff about rejected works in their "About the author" pages, though, especially for long-running series. It's far from the first I've seen.

He didn't really rant, nor say they laughed at him. Like, the only thing said was the concept and it was rejected.

I didn't find it especially gratuitous with gore, save episode 15 which was a very strong episode in its own right. With that exception and some brief moments here and there [mostly Beteguese] the violence was fairly tame. We're not talking Elfen Lied or Future Diary where there's no rhyme or reason to how pointlessly excessive the gore gets and there's far more character depth to it than either the aforementioned, even if Subaru becomes hard to "like" at some points - but Subaru's shiity behavior is directly tied to the point of the show. The only way I can see people missing the point is by not paying attention, really. They make it very clear that Subaru's growth is a criticism of contemporary reward-based heroism and very little was particularly confusing from a plot or character standpoint. It's not perfect in either respect and there are confusing moments from time to time, but the most significant parts were far from difficult to grasp. Like "the point" was made so clear that after a certain point I'm more willing to fault the viewer for not viewing it critically enough moreso than the show for not coddling.

Gigguk doesn't do a very good job at this, imo. I think it may be a different video, but he's made explicitly clear he didn't think there was a "point" to the show despite the point being pretty clear. That and not understanding character motivations that were fairly self-evident.

A dozen ramen noodles. That's right, a lifetime's supply. Free!* *bang mochi now to claim your reward

Forced KFC felattio is right up Zeni's alley even before merging with other naraku.

No.

wut did i do this time

Yeah, I mean that's certainly what you tell yourself.

I gotta learn from the master somehow.

Don't bother me right now, I'm busy asking someone on okc what cheese she puts in her cheese drawer and it's really important. It better not be bleu or feta unless her "drawer" is actually a garbage can.

Beggars can't be choosers, just bang mochi and get it over with.

3 ramen noodles. That's right, an entire year's supply.

Did you at least consummate the marriage?

Physically impossible.

Don't worry, bae. I'll bribe him with 2 whole ramen noodles.

Time for the inevitable @Naraku4656/@mochi hookup.

No, he could.

Nothing in One Piece gets "less horrible".

Zenigundam pickup lines:

If you have to preface your statement with"not to sound creepy" it probably means you sound creepy.

Eating poop.

Lol that's why people make fun of Toonami fans.
