been having an ongoing debate about shinsekai yori and i'm wondering what the general opinion on it around here is.
personally, i think the show is a 6 or 7/10 at best. the story is above average but the characters and the way they are written ruin it for me. there is no character development, which in and of itself is not the end of the world (see indiana jones), but combine that with unlikable and wooden archtypes and it just ruins any sense of drama or stakes to what is happening. its like watching the matrix sequels. the action scenes are cool, but the rest of it is a muddled mess. you have no soul. and taste.

I like all the girls really outside of Marika sometimes (doomed to be the comically trying to hard girl). I just like to give props to the underdogs that aren't as popular and have 0 chance (Tsugumi). Yes it is likely that Chitoge will win since she is the only one who is actually getting development while everyone else (besides that bit with Haru I guess) pretty much are exactly the same since their appearance.

Don't worry in my books. You are better than almost half of the female girl character that i know for actually confessing and doing shit though.
How did i not watch this. This is the type of shows i watch.
Yea too bad she gets punished for such outrageous behavior! We can't be having people who actually do things now can we?

Of course i like all the girls too (actually even Marika though she gets annoying sometimes) however if i go no pussy mode and pick a favorite then it's definitely Kosaki(should be Haru but she is doomed to be the side character so i'm going for the one who has a "chance" to win).

welp we can't have everything
on another note lol MC-kun reasoning about the misunderstanding is about unity and friendship (just admit that you wanted your harem to grow and prosper MC-kun)

Inou battle
First: goody....i just can't follow your tastes. You say you don't like magic/supernatural elements in stories, but then you say you like a show that has it's first basis in magic/supernatural elements.
Come to think about it...don't you freaking love Haruhi? That's supernatural as well. I just don't get you. 
As to the actual show, man it was pretty good. It had potential to be really awesome, but i think some of the story structuring hurts it. If they had another cour (at least) already in the books then all of that would have been better, and i think the overall show/story would have been amazing. Sadly i'm finding that tends to be the case ( where shows just dont have enough time or money to properly create something amazing).
Hatoko is awesome but i think I like Tomoyo better. Still Student Pres. is besto girl easily. Sadly she's barely in the show. (which is another point towards, if it was longer she would have more scenes ! >.< )
One thing that i liked about MC was his overall design/development. His chuuni-complex is really well done. some of the best scenes are where it seems like he's about to break character or at least thinking of it, and his chuuni just overwhelms and takes over. Also, it's really interesting to see how he deals with average every day problems (like he's trying to be a normal person for that moment when he has to, but he absolutely can't).
+ Show Spoiler [finale] + I'm pissed that they didn't go into the war more. This is specifically where they needed more eps. They could have turned this into something really cool with MC's harem kicking everybody's ass in the fairy war.
i've also picked up Akatsuki no Yona and caught up. Man this is so up and down with me. One episode im like, this is real good and im desperate for more...then the next im like super bored and can hardly keep watching. I'm so unsure about this one. Still, i was at like episode 11 and i was thinking "this is only 1 cour? how the hell are they supposed to end this in 1 episode" until i checked and realized there's a lot more coming. And to be honest, i was really glad that there's a lot more. I'm definitely interested.

Personally, I think it has better pacing.
I originally tried watching the tv series, but switched to the movies after ep 10 or so.

I'm actually ok with fantasy if i am watching the show for the fantasy part alone. I prefer that the show i watch doesn't have an added "fantasy" or "scifi" twist if i watched the show for romance/SoL aspect of it. Although there are some exceptions most of them are usually just some kind of pretext for the romance/SoL parts to happen(in some cases i'm ok with it).
I learned that i would never enjoy anything i watch in anime or any entertainment medium in general. If i gave thought at every aspect of the show I would never enjoy them since all i would do is complain and very few shows would be watchable for me. Instead i focus on the parts that i liked for the show. Of course there are other exception which i enjoyed all the aspects of the show but those are the good ones.
To give you an example i don't care about Inou Battle's part of them having powers(supernatural parts). I'm just watching that show for the SoL/Harem/romance part of it.
Well about haruhi . It's probably an exception since i love haruhi dude. It's probably because Haruhi is a textbook "Manic Pixie Dream Girl" if i really think about it.
@bolded part: It's ok i like a lot of random shit and my taste heavily depends on my mood at the moment. There are times i love watching harem/ecchi shows then the next day i absolutely loathe watching them. (I don't understand myself too !)

Asking for something like that an addressing the mangaka as "author-kun" wont get you very far..

why do people even bother following goody's logic.

Onodera the Greater out did her while knowing Raku only a fraction of the time. Kosaki has had years to get her shit together so she loses massive points for dragging her feet. Yui makes her look even worse in that respect, but then again Yui is the true #1 destined to not win. do you know what rabbits also do? At least in german there's the term to "fuck like rabbits"
