Yakitate was infinitely better than Shokugeki.

Am i the only one who didn't care about all the naked men and women in shokugeki and was actually interested more in how they used all the ingredients and the visuals of the food.

Can't really say I'm a fan of the cooking itself. 90% of it is just the mangaka pulling shit out of his ass, so it's not particularly interesting. Compare to stuff like Nobunaga no Chef, where there's an actual purpose to what they make. In Shokugeki, the art is the main draw for me. | ||

Well, whatever at that, just a bit of waste of time that didn't look like it was gonna pan out. So next we use Jaegars and put it with a mix of evil, crazy people and people with common sense. To at least make the enemy side comparable to protagonists and pave road to people switching sides as necessary. That's mostly a thing as long as Tatsumiclone and Kurome are alive, too bad it didn't actually go anywhere either because I guess someone is trying too hard to avoid cliche situations. Now oops, everything is just people with a greater purpose beating down on bads. The idea to make gray zones is there, the execution just never panned out because...idk. Easier to introduce new baddies and kill them I suppose. That leaves us with the current dismal state of the manga. But hey, at least at this point in time they kinda tried to avoid it from being like that. Kinda. Honestly I think Akame was never trying to be gray from what I've seen of the anime and the small parts I've read in the manga. It starts you off with a very clear picture of "these people are evil". You get some rich young family poisoning people with deadly diseases and torture for no other reason than they can. It may have been different if say one of the families children had a deadly disease and they were doing medical on these people with no attachments to the world to try save them. That's something that is both "bad" but at the same time something that as a writer you can make the audience feel for the "bad" person. Then we get introduced to Night Raid who convince Tatsumi to help kill this family. Night Raids introduction basically has nothing painting them as bad aside from people saying they bad and them killing people. All the people they kill are people that their "badness" is shoved down your face. It's pretty hard to see them as anything but good guys doing good things. They even part of a resistance movement so it's not like they just doing it for themselves. A more neutral group in another shounen would be the Zoldyck family where they do it indiscriminately for money but take no pleasure in the action. I guess comparing HxH to Akame is rather unfavorable to Akame lol. Akame ga Kill is just a typical shounen story where it's slightly more violent and set in a "darker" world. It was never a story trying to be gray. I think people just really wanted it to be that so they convinced themselves it was trying to be that. Even when it introduces more likable antagonists that seems more as a way to get you to care than trying to show two perspectives. Trinity Seven ep 4 - Feels a bit boring honestly. Sure boobs and half naked girls are fun but if the story around them is shit then it just feels shit. Hopefully they pick it up soon. | ||
