The Asterisk Whore

What's Sup Forums opinion?

This show was so fucking inferior compared to Rakudai Kishi. It was worse in basically every way.

Better than Rakudai. Especially in the main girl department.

Claudia a best. A BEST.

Julis a shit. A SHIT.

This.

it's a tropey and predictable battle harem

it's more visually unique than most though

your mileage will vary entirely on whether or not you can find a waifu in the main cast or not

The wrong anime got the second season.

Julis a best*
Claudia a shit*

This. It's really crazy how much better Rakudai is despite having almost the exact same premise. Ikki is just miles, MILES better than Ayato. I like watching shitty battle harems like Bahamut and Infinite Stratos, so I wasn't going to be very critical about either show when they were airing, and I did enjoy Asterisk for what it was worth, but Rakudai was just flat out good.

forgot to mention;
that being said, i still enjoyed it. it was mindless entertainment, and that's the most a show like asterisk can ask to be

it had more side characters and focused on those characters more than the majority of battle harems though, which was a nice surprise. they were also the drivers of a lot of the political subplot the series had, which i also enjoyed because it was less mindless than the rest of the harem antics

rakudai is better.

>people will never talk about either asterisk or rakudai without bitching about the other one
you all suck.

Tell me reasons why Rakudai was better series, Rakudai was a Bullcrap I Hate ikki and slutella including that shitmouto

Rakudai has a better MC and a uniquely superb story arc with Ayase

Asterisk has existent and consistent characterization and better animation

take your pick, they're exactly the same show but with different names and skins and they will fill the exact same niche for the viewer who seeks them out. i watched both and i liked both and ranking one above the other is 99% of the time related to which series your personal taste decided had the better girl

"Pink Houki"
Whore Slut
Rakufaggots

not enough claudia

7/10 overall. Not great or shit.

MC was in average and in the middle ground. Main heroine is exceptionally quite good character and deserves to be in a better series. The harem in general ranges from meh to cool, with cool mostly coming from side heroines. Battles are a miss and hit, with more of the former, but a few of the latter were pretty great with spent budget. Production value is above average and the music as well. The OPs&EDs were really good though.

Diseagree with animation, I thought it was better on Rakudai also all the CGI on Asterisk was messy.

The only thing Rakudai did better is the MC. Everything else, Asterisk did better.

You forgot Stellafag for the second one there.

Strawpoll
Asterisk vs rekudai

I don't even know why Bamco made a game out of this.

>Afterisk War novels sold at my local library
>Not one volume of Rakudai
Oh I hate this.

There's a fat nerd on youtube who has half-a-day worth of videos whining about how shit this series is, basically sums up my feelings.

Literally Digibro the post.

Dont bother, if someone else doesnt bot it, I will

to each their own

i felt the cgi that was used, the robot fighters in particular, worked in the same way that the cgi in yuyuyu did to deepen the separation between the cgi characters and the 2d ones. you don't need to know anything about their characterization or disposition to make them noticeable or unsettle you, because the cgi becomes part of their character

not entirely necessary considering ar-d was just a miniature gundam and not an eldritch killing machine the size of a skyscraper but hey

It's superior and more popular than Rakudai.

Trying too hard to advertize your channel, bro.

this tells me absolutely nothing about the series other than that i need to watch a different series first to get a handle on the quality

great job

Who the fuck is Digibro?

You always repost this and always you are wrong. Julis is objectively best.

Why does Digibro's videos have 250k views? Who watches this shit? He only has 40k subscribers.

>Being THIS new

low quality youtuber with a sleazy voice, sleazier opinions, and the absolute sleaziest facial hair. he's also a brony, so take that how you will.

Because retarded Rakudaifags shills his vids even though he's a fucking professional troll spergster.

bruh the point flew so far over your head that i don't think it'll ever come back

Because he made hours upon hours worth of videos complaining about some random shit anime. Pure unrefined autism, reminds me of loliconfan because he got banned from myanimelist.

*before he got banned from mal.

Nah, you're new. There's no way you wouldn't know about the "that" and less wouldn't have already watched them had you been here for Fall 2015.
