I don't get the appeal of Nisekoi. None of the girls are particularly good so what's the fuss? It's relatively fun but not enough to warrant the rabid fandom surrounding it.

i enjoy nisekoi mostly due to the comedy(hilarious fails and other ridiculous scenes) .. the girls are just a plus cause nobody is really unlikable out of them .. and the girls do make a move towards Raku sadly Raku is one of the great harem god of being dense

idk that's to me

Hence why I am asking about it. To get an opinion that isn't mine. I'll explicitly state that next time for your sake.

Texhnolyze says you're wrong.

Also, if you're talking about the movie, I think The Matrix is superior. I never liked the GitS movie too much myself and The Matrix was a lot more fun.

And...Blade Runner is cyberpunk yes? o_O

I like Nisekoi because I actually enjoy the girls and other characters, which is why I don't give a fuck about "development". That is the main criticism directed against it but its pretty unwarranted imo. This type of show ends when it ends so just enjoy the small stories that come out. As long as it continues to do its job of entertaining it doesn't need to rush to major plot advancement. We will only get that when the manga has stayed stale for an extended period of time. The only thing you can hope for is for the author to have enough breathing room so that he doesn't have to rush when doing his end game plot stuff.

Well I'm talking about in recent times(Even though 2005 isn't that recent ;(). Blade runner is cyperpunk but the movie is honestly not that great. Short story was pretty cool. SAC I think was better than the movie but the movie was pretty good itself. Matrix is more action orientated than GitS so I get it being more "fun".

Shadowrun is an interesting mix of cyperpunk and fantasy in a game setting. The FPS was a travesty but Shadowrun Returns is cool.

Well you are like the connoisseur of trashy romcom so what sets Nisekoi apart from the rest? What makes it have such fandom. That confuses me the most. It looks just like your average trashy fun harem romcom to me.

actually the facial expression too

at the start of nisekoi airing i didn't actually watch it immediately cause i thought i wouldn't enjoy it since i already caught up with the latest of the manga that time and i thought it would be redundant

then i tried to watch it was more fun than ever lol the facial expression of the animu was spectacular (gj shaft)

And I think The Matrix still says more than GitS too.

Texhnolyze is still the best anime cyberpunk sci-fi.

How does it say more? It's just Jesus saving the world. GitS:SAC has a lot of personal identity involved in it along with political issues throughout the show.

I'll ignore your claim to what i am. On topic.

It's probably the best out of all the "trashy" harem romcom. Well it's the best i've seen. Mostly the comedy and the cockblocking is what makes it different from the others. And the inevitable drama that happens isn't too annoying. Idk i can't tell but the show is really enjoyable. Other harems usually don't keep my interest long enough like i get unsatisfied cause nothing happens or i get bored eventually.

Slaughter comment kinda nailed it.

This cross ange episode: + Show Spoiler +
amplifying pain by 50 times or change it to pleasure >.> How are they even supposed to kill him if he somehow manages to shift (or regenerate or whatever the hell he does)? Also, looks like he kills himself in the next episode's preview? what? So bizarre lol. Hopefully we get some intense fights next episode though I'm not sure if Salia, Chris or Erza(sp?) will get redeemed at this point.

That's just oversimplifying the film, lol. I could say the same thing about GitS and say that it's about a counter-terrorist team saving Japan, but I don't because that's obviously just obfuscating the issue.

The Matrix might have been action packed bullet time fun, but that doesn't mean it's bereft of substance. Things don't have to be spelled out in the movie (well, some of them are) to have meaning, but The Matrix definitely has a lot of interesting things to say with the world that it creates, which I think is indicative of good cyberpunk.

The source was good at the start before going really down hill. I think the author just wasn't able to evolve the concept enough to keep it fresh. So yea I see Denpa as being a step down from the ones I listed, but it is one that I will definitely check out.

I don't think the Matrix is any less or any more complex than GitS. I think the major difference is the Matrix got too full of itself with philosophy in later movies that it shoved in your face. The Matrix after all borrows heavily from the first GitS movie and original manga.
