>not very funny >writing is poor >no real plot >melodrama out the ass for no real reason
Sure the series has nice visuals (and even then, only half of the episodes are good looking, a good amount of scenes take place in boring dark places where the MCs are trapped), but is that really enough?
Lucas Howard
the shipping you insufferable fucktard
James Gomez
Why would you care about any of these dull unlikable characters getting into relationships with each other?
Jace Anderson
Okada was a mistake.
Jacob White
The lesbian and the fat guy are pretty good.
Carson Perez
To self insert as the edgy unfeeling mc of course
Daniel Hernandez
To wait for the day MC and Chidori FINALLY get together
Gabriel Wood
no appeal which is why the show BD is selling like shit.
Okada is a hack and probably a slut, seeing how only male producers keep taking her in as the scriptwriter.
Thanks to them not able to keep it in their pants, we get shitty animes that could have been a lot better.
Jaxon Taylor
>No real plot
What essential element for you to consider something a "real plot" is Kiznaiver missing?
Its fine if you don't like it, but it seems odd to deny it has a story at all as a criticism when it clearly does.
Julian Gomez
I honestly just watch it for emotionless MC.
Jordan Russell
Best girls of the show.
Andrew Morgan
I only watch because Chidori makes me diamonds.
Jaxon Taylor
It's the show for all the anime hippsters so they can say >ugh Re:Zero is a shit show the real good show of this season is Kiznaiver >look at me and my superior taste
Luis Ward
I knew this show was going to be shit as soon as I learned that Mari Okada was writing it.
Matthew Morgan
The characters are garbage and the pairings are shit
Carson Lopez
Said literally no one.
Luke Myers
Yeah the show is pretty fucking boring, what's the whole purpose of the show other than "world peace through feeling others pain" if that's it, well might as well just drop it now as it doesn't seem to be going anywhere.
Matthew Torres
>What is the appeal of this series? The Trigger aesthetic.
No, seriously. That's it. Trigger tried so hard to make this work, but the writing is clearly too awful to be saved.
Anthony Roberts
This show is shaping up to be more unintentionally hilarious than Anohana. I wanna see what melodramatic bullshit they have cooked up for the final stretch
Liam Ramirez

Mason Butler
I'm glad we are on the same page.
Kevin Ortiz
>What is the appeal of this series? Okada's stupid drama? Some like it from what I heard.
Hudson White
but where's the actions
where are the FITES?
Michael Rodriguez
I really like the OP.
I thought I would hate the MC but he's not really that bad. I actually don't like the melodrama but I keep coming back in the hopes that something crazy happens.
William Morales
There's a Tenga ass-bop in episode 1. Uhh... yeah, that's about it.
>I keep coming back in the hopes that something crazy happens. You're doing it wrong, user. I just dropped it, and I'll only pick it back up if everyone loses their shit over the ending.
Anthony Butler
>he doesn't know what's coming
James Watson
This anime is painful to sit through every week. If that's what Okada was going for she's a genius.
Nathaniel Allen
This pain, is ours.
David Edwards
If you don't like it maybe you should spend your time watching and discussing anime you like, instead? You'll just make yourself angry and miserable by focusing on people liking things you dislike.
Jacob Cruz
But Sup Forums always shits on my favorite anime. In order for anyone to talk about an anime on Sup Forums you have to meme and bait people to get discussion going.
Carter Perry
I liked Anohana though.
At least it wasn't as aimless as Kiznaiver
Joseph Allen
Shipping is a seasonal pissing contest about the most insipid and pointless shit.
Carter Brown
This is such a reddit opinion.
Wyatt Brooks
Looks like we triggered the triggerfag
Juan Price
>hey anons I just watched this anime here are some points for discussion >nothing >hey Sup Forums this anime is shit >shitposting for 100 or so replies then discussion starts Everytime.
Owen Cook
Whats the dislike for this show boil down to? It doesn't seem any better or worse than most of the stuff that passes as an 'okay' anime these days.
Kevin Russell
It's mostly down to Mari Okada autists that shitpost every series she's involved with.
Liam Fisher
Literally watch the latest episode edgelord.
Caleb Cox
>Re:Zero >good
Nathaniel Morales
They're both garbage.
Jacob Lewis
You and me both, brother.
David King
Come for the OP. Cum_ for Chidori.
Jack Collins
For me it's the fact that whenever I open a Kiznaiver thread I see people endlessly praising it and circlejerking over how great the characters are. And if I post an opinion that is contrary to what they believe I get accused of being a troll.
So I'm asking what the appeal is. Why does anyone like this show?
The writing is just plain stupid at times. None of the actions these characters do make any sense. Is it so hard for Kacchon to not be an autist around Chidori? Why does Nico have feelings for Tenga despite this never being mentioned or even hinted at by anyone or anything before? Why does the "humor" feel like the same old stupid Gainax/Trigger garbage that we've all seen before? The characters are walking cliches. inb4 BUT DAS DA POINT. they're acknowledged by the story as cliches yet there's no evidence that these cliches are being subverted, it's just served to say "hey look we are aware we're using cliched characters" There's no real plot. The only semblance of an actual plot is straight out of the Pain arc from Naruto, which honestly did it way better than this show did. What we have is an aimless series that is hopefully only going to go for 12 episodes because if I have to sit through 2 cours of this piece of crap I'm going to be pissed.
Aiden Baker
Visuals and music
Carson Sanders
What's the "Trigger aesthetic"? Kiznaiver looks nothing like Kill la Kill or Little Witch Academia.
Connor Clark
>hopefully only going to go for 12 episodes because if I have to sit through 2 cours of this piece of crap I'm going to be pissed.
Why don't you just stop watching it then? Maybe that's why you're being accused if being a troll.
Jonathan Robinson
I second this.
Alexander Sullivan
To have a well-informed opinion on it.
Carter Campbell
Why watch Kizzzzzz when you can just watch Ijime Connect again?
Ian Johnson
I don't even know. I normally fucking hate shows like this but something about this one has me hooked.
Anthony Russell
Why's it worth the suffering just to have a negative opinion? If that's all you want then say you dropped the show because its shit.
Lincoln Parker
20 minutes out of my week isn't really suffering.
Plus there ARE things I do like about it but I'm not sure I could say I actually like the show. It's pretty enough to keep me watching. That's basically it.
Aiden Harris
>why not watch something you like and have a good time with discussion instead? >MUH REDDIT TRIGGERS Oh Sup Forums.
Kevin Wood
But I am watching stuff I like in addition to watching something I don't like.
Evan Price
>he thinks white and red will end together look at him and laugh
Parker Butler
Pretty much this. At least that show just went ahead and didn't try to disguise its supernatural melodrama-inducing plot device as something more. Then again, if you're watching Kiznaiver because of the pretty visuals then eh. It can't be helped.
Levi Perez
I like it stylisticalist speaking. Plot and characters are pretty garbage though. Best OP of the season.
Nicholas Barnes
>20 minutes out of my week isn't really suffering. >hopefully only going to go for 12 episodes because if I have to sit through 2 cours of this piece of crap I'm going to be pissed
??? I guess I understand the point you're trying to make.
What I wanna figure out is why this show seems to be getting a substantial amount of hate compared to shows similar or worse than it?
Jaxon Torres
That's fine then. But maybe if you had an extra 20 minutes you could try a different series, or catch up on something old you've been meaning to watch. Hate-watching a series when there are so many others to watch just seems like a recipe for stressing yourself out.
Dominic Foster
>Is it so hard for Kacchon to not be an autist around Chidori? Yes, because he is an incomplete human being.
>Why does Nico have feelings for Tenga despite this never being mentioned or even hinted at by anyone or anything before? Nico has had feeling for Tenga since episode 2. He's the only character that manages to break her facade and make her self-conscious, something that Maki can't do by being a complete dick to her.
>Why does the "humor" feel like the same old stupid Gainax/Trigger garbage that we've all seen before? I've been laughing along with every episode. Different strokes for different folks.
>they're acknowledged by the story as cliches yet there's no evidence that these cliches are being subverted
Cliches don't need to be subverted, and a lot of the time when it's done straight up it has even less value than a cliche played straight. When's the last time you saw a character who subverts a cliche and thought it was actually clever and interesting, not just a gimmick or something that looks cool for a second before you forget it forever.
The point of Kiznaivers is putting a group of cliched characters together and watching as "real life" doesn't fit with their cliches. Chidori expects Kacchon to like her because they're childhood friends. Noriko can't understand Kacchon resenting her because she acts like a perfect Rei clone. Even Yuta expects Maki to completely open up to him because he's a "nice guy" and acts like an anime protagonist should for the girl he loves.
It's about real communication, not the facade of communication you get in anime. If the characters don't realise this, they're going to suffer like Chidori and Noriko are.
Xavier Martin
The over the top movements, reactions and overall stuff happeing. This is basically a SoL anime masked as something more deep.
And I have to say that if I have to watch SoL I prefer somthing stupid and over the top than 4 girls eating cake while pretending to be musicians.

Xavier Scott
>why this show seems to be getting a substantial amount of hate compared to shows similar or worse than it? Because triggerfags are praising it as the second coming
Elijah Sullivan
Out of all the Kiznaiver threads I've seen the hate vastly outweighs the little praise it gets. Even then the praise isn't hyperbolic, just shit like "I like the characters" or "I like the style and music".
Are people praising it as the second coming on other sites?
Logan Flores
More like uneducated. I made up a word and hoped it was right.
Alexander Watson
>melodrama out the ass for no real reason This. Some people love it for whatever reason. Thankfully I realized where that show was going and dropped it early enough.
Angel Russell
>mfw watching the first episode
Elijah Wilson
This^
So far I've not seen one thread with more praise than criticism. And even the ones that like it usually admit it's not good, but it just does some things right, be the style, be the music, be the gainax humor.
I'm more interested in how can anyone like any of the character.
Also, is white a double kiznaiver? Did Trigger seriously expect the reveal of Nori being a kizna to be a surprise?
Carter Rodriguez
I thought everyone was diamonds for Noriko tho.
Christian Collins
>Did Trigger seriously expect the reveal of Nori being a kizna to be a surprise?
Dramatic irony. Sasuga Okada.
Joshua Cook
stylistically speaking*
Nathaniel Diaz
People who like Kiznaiver like Noriko for her depth, sex appeal and cute voice.
People who hate Kiznaiver do it because they're upset their waifu hasn't got her red pubes wrapped around Kacchon's dick.
Angel Sanders
thanks
Benjamin Cox
>Kiznaiver characters >depth
Carter Cook
Fuck off you hipsters. The only reason people like Kiznaiver is because either it's by Trigger or because it's the "underdog" anime original show of the season that everybody else is shitting on.
Where the fuck were you fags when motherfucking M3 aired? Exactly motherfuckers. Okada's hack writing there was far superior to the garbage right now. Literally the only thing salvaging this shitfest is the competent director handling it.
Jackson Cruz

Wyatt Brown
>Did Trigger seriously expect the reveal of Nori being a kizna to be a surprise? Considering they'd already shown that she was in the very first scene of the entire series, I'm going to say "no".
Joshua Williams
>It's about real communication Except the communication in Kiznaiver is as unrealistic as they come. It's no different from any other anime, that just makes it pretentious.
I don't get this anti-anime bullshit where people get mad it isn't realistic enough for them. Probably the same people who think Eva is a fuck you to anime and otaku because it has messed up characters. Everyone knows this shit generally isn't realistic, and only a dipshit goes looking for something where it's normally not expected to be. Want a show about 'real communication'? Make a show with realistic characters, not a preachfest with duller characters than the things they're caricaturing.
Carter Wilson
it's so painful to watch this garbage we share our pain with all the other people watching it mari okada is a genius
Andrew Clark

Grayson Thompson

Pffffft.
Joshua Murphy
This is a thing.
Mason Torres
i want to cum on her glasses
Brody Lee
It's nice of you to wait until everyone is done discussing the episode to make your shitposting general.
Jack Martin
Have you ever considered that this show isn't going for one of your epic twists?
Aiden Gonzalez
Not the actual thing but the bulletin.
Levi Jenkins
>not very funny There are some funny moments but I'm glad it's not a jap-comedy shitfest like many other series
>writing is poor debatable, and subjective.
>no real plot meaningless criticism, there is a plot, you just don't like it or are too stupid to notice it
>melodrama out the ass for no real reason what? there are plenty of reasons, once again you just don't like it.
On top of it, it's got great character design, good animation, an amazing direction, wonderful visuals and the best OP and ED of the season.
What's not to like?
Evan Carter
Threads on airing day and the day after are always overwhelmingly positive.
Threads mid-week are mostly shitposting about okada and trigger, so yeah.
Jaxon Cooper
Is it bettee than Nagi no Asukara? Thats all I need to know.
Dylan Lewis
>bettee than Nagi no Asukara? Fuck no
Wyatt Carter
What is the appeal of this user?
>not very funny >social skills are poor >no real personality >shits out his ass for no real reason
Cooper Roberts
definitely
Christopher Hernandez
Nah. The threads once the episode comes out are relatively positive. But let's be honest here, it's all just a minority of people circlejerking at this point in the season.
Liam Wood
>circlejerking is this what you call enjoying a show together? you won't find many people who hate fishing at a fishing competition.
Justin Perry
Well look on the bright side, at least you small lot will never be as worse as the memeyoiga fags.
