I mean, Shadow Dino's saying that silent protagonists are bad, and so am I. I'm not even sure what you're arguing here, since you seem to agree that silent protagonists are weaker than protagonists with dialogue?

Compared with a protagonist like Shepard she falls far short... Or even compared to previous Fire Emblem protagonists.

It's weird to see them treating that like some kinda feat, considering that even Yui managed to pass. Would've been pretty pathetic if she failed.

The action in Franxx is leagues beyond BNA's.
---

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Anyway, BNA finished. I did not like the last three episodes at all. I thought they were very bad in almost every way. I enjoyed most of the series - it was good when it was more episodic and everyone was just having fun (with some dark and serious parts). The plot they brought in later on was just bad. I didn't like anything that happened with Alan. The beastmen in general seemed a lot dumber than they should've. All the stuff with that syndrome later on was silly and the show would've been better off without it. Personally, this is by far the worst Trigger show, and the only one I'd say I dislike.

Very cool list! I feel like you try a bit too hard to be objective in some of these, but that makes for more interesting writeups, so it's all good.

Have you watched the other Attack on Titan OPs? I think they're all pretty special, with S3's (Red Swan) as my personal favorite.

Sad I missed nominations for this one. Probably would've gone with something like:

Nazuna's even dumber than Michiru

I wonder if the series writer is some sort of mysogynist?

is michiru the dumbest protagonist of any trigger series

10 episodes in and she still has great lines like "Anyone who fights the cops is a terrorist."

From wikipedia:

Itoi described Giygas as something that people cannot make sense of, but also as a living being who deserves love.

I don't think Ridley would be described as deserving love.

Why not?

Gleipnir beated. This started out real good, but had a few missteps later on. Clair was generally the highlight of the show at all times. Basically whenever she was around doing stuff it was great, and when she wasn't onscreen it wasn't as good (there were a few good parts without her, but generally speaking). The middle arc of the show felt like a mistake in some ways. I did like the beginning, with all the confrontations, and the ending with the flowers was great too, but the middle parts where they were trying to work as a team were really slow and boring. It felt like they were stretching a small of manga content really thin. There were a bunch of scenes where fighters just watched other people get attacked and stood there for no reason, which always feels like shitty direction in anime. I was glad they at least managed to conclude the arc in a fun way, and then ep 11 was back to being good again.

But ep 12 was awful. Flashbacks to explain what happened in the past can be really good storytelling devices, but this one sucked, mainly because of Kaito. None of his actions here made any sense, and using this to develop him as the villain was just lame. 13 had some more interesting stuff happen, and then it ended inconclusively. I feel like ending with ep 11 would've been much stronger - rather than introducing a bunch of new characters that mean nothing to the viewer, we would've ended with the main characters developing in interesting ways. Blah.

Watched The Night Is Short, Walk On Girl. Bad movie. I liked the girl's parts for the most part, but the guy was awful. I guess the overall theme of the show is "the best way to get a girl to like you is to stalk her." ugh

For some reason, the consensus opinion about the Haruhi anime among newer fans seems to be Disappearance > Endless Eight >>>>> Worthless filler garbage that only exists to set up those two arcs. I don't think I'll ever get how an awful adaptation of a average-ish story is now considered one of the high points of the series.

I don't think that's true.
