    A good story is satisfying to read because of the plethora of interesting and well written characters.
    Saying that only one character or a specific team of characters carry the show is a little bit of an exaggeration ..
    While the truth is every character has an important role in a story. Even characters that were present for 10 chapters or so but their small time spend with the protagonist
    Helped to further develop the protagonist as a character meaning that their presence were important..
    To sum it up i just wanna say that removing a single character or arc from a story will definitely make the story completely different and it will most likely lose its balance

      yeah but it's annoying to see people say Askeladd carried the Vinland Saga anime, like what they don't get that he is the main character of just that season, of the prologue arc, Thorfinn isn't, but there are other well written characters in it, e.g. Canute, Thorkell, Thors, that drunk priest, Thorfinn etc. Sure Askeladd was the best character by far and he stood out more but what I mean is if you take out Askeladd from the story, it doesn't make the story completely different, it makes it become non existent. You cannot remove Askeladd from the story since he is an integral character. So many dumb people out there. Moreover, many people shit on Thorfinn in this arc and find him unbearably annoying, heavily unlikeable, and I'm like that's the point, he's not meant to be likeable but that doesn't make him badly written at all.

I used to watch it constantly on VHS as a kid. But I also feel nostalgic for the original 101 dalmatians and it's live action counterpart for the exact same reason. It's just a matter of opinion and theres no need to get riled up about it.

    I am a MASSIVE FMA fan, I first watched FMAB when I was 12/13 years old, and it was honestly the first anime that really had an emotional impact on me and stuck with me till this day, part of the reason I think it had such a big impact on me is because during this weird and transitional period of my life, it was one of the very few pieces of media that treated me like an adult. It is easily my favourite anime of all time, and it disappoints me to no end to see people who seemingly love this show as much as I do, and are as passionate about it as I am, act so childishly towards others who don’t share the same opinion about it. It almost makes me ashamed to be a fan of the series when I see how these “real fans” treat other anime’s and their communities.

    Im a die hard one piece fan, and I'm fine with people saying it's boring. The same thing with any anime I like, AoT, FMAB, etc. I don't enjoy AoT anymore, BUT i can admit it was well written for 90% of it. I liked the ending, but I didn't really enjoy the anime past season 3. Im good with that, most people should be, the issue is when people consider something bad for superficial reasons and think they're objective. You can be bored by Code Geass, One Piece, Fmab, AoT, MHA, idc; but as soon as you start hating on the writing without any genuine reasoning then you should keep your mouth shut. If you can create genuine criticisms, though, for example: One Piece's lack of death, I'm happy to accept that. I can admit every story has it's flaws, and I think that's a good thing to point out, but that doesn't mean that One Piece is "mid." writing wise, one piece is nearly perfect, in my opinion, but if people can point out flaws I am one hundred percent down to accept that. Just stop acting like how much you enjoy an anime means that its bad or good. You need substance

    A small part of MAL community is just like that. I know you said you knew that "every fandom does that", but I am still going to talk about this point. The fandom is pretty inactive since well it aired 12 years ago and hasn't had anything new (probably won't). It's true that many anime get review bombed when they get into the top, we have seen this recently. Yet everyone blames only and mainly FMAB fandom, they mostly don't even mention other anime fandom (maybe AoT but that's it). I have seen how toxic the other fandom are maybe even more than FMAB fandom itself, many insults to FMA and people saying overrated (we can see many examples in this comments section), memes and useless posts raging, encouraging others to review bomb FMAB as payback. Last time I checked the stats of FMAB (about july) it had 19k 1s, and now it has 22k. That's a 3k growth in a few months of a somewhat old anime. Yeah, when checking the stats of other anime we have seen FMAB fans and other anime fans. But we cannot really blame the fandom, it's really vague, one could be using bots, and people would think that it's the whole fandom doing this. I would even say FMAB is mostly a chill fandom, they receive criticism well, they know that people can like other things more. Why do I say this? Well, I've checked forums in MAL, the subreddit r/fullmetalalchemist (the latter is really great). I don't like to compare it with other anime, but I've seen other fandoms many times more obsessed with scores and they collectively trash on other anime and its fandom.
    My advice would be just to not care too much about stats, ignore the fandom when watching something.

  • @thelightningking8772

    This video definitely hit the nail on the head in regards to the current discourse in the anime/manga community. Most conclusions I see now about an anime or manga are either “this series is trash” (or “this series is mid” to get the same sentiments across while sounding less aggressive) or “this series is the GOAT” and they almost seem reactionary towards each other. It’s honestly gotten annoying and I think it’s a product of the hype culture that we’ve built up over the years. But like, I just want to read my fourth wall breaking comedy manga about a guy in happy relationship with 100 girlfriends who are all cool with the harem in peace. I don’t need someone coming in and telling me why Attack on Titan is a far superior manga because of how it has deeper themes, or that Fate is a better series because it has individual variations for all the girls from 18 new universes added in the exclusive Samsung smart fridge gacha game which is now canon. I don’t care.

I wouldn't call it overrated as I feel like that's such a hollow statement, but the fandom's undying adoration for it does get under my skin. It's treated like it's the word of god for anime

    I definitely agree with your points here Masked. Any series is gonna have issues that people may or may not like. The problem especially since 2012 I've noticed is people generalizing when others say they don't like something. Like seriously just like whatever you want who cares whether or not someone else likes or dislikes what you do.
    With you reading certain American comics Masked such as Spawn have you considered checking out any Star Wars Dark Horse comics. I think you'd enjoy Crimson Empire or Purge considering your taste.

    I take the stuff I like way to personally. So when people say they don't like "said thing" I feel like shit. So videos like this are a good example of how you shouldn't invest so much of your self into the art you enjoy. Just wish I was better at catching myself and doing something more "productive."

    This is so true. For One Piece they tend to put certain series against each other on a scale, let’s say, instead of on the steps of a staircase. The staircase can go on forever, having many steps going both up and down. You can have one show be your absolute favorite but there could always be room for another series on the step above it. What tends to happen with talks about One Piece is whenever an individual has a series as their top they always bring up One Piece with it, saying stuff like “Mid Piece” or whatever. Like why? This happens all the time on TikTok but I have I feeling it’s not the only place this sort of thing happens. You have no reason putting two series on a scale and while praising one of them, you downplay the other show on the scale. Just put them on a step and LET IT GO.
