I remember when it was marketed by some to be "A show for PoC", and then they had the weeb character who works for the big bad be a fat Asian whose face looks like WW2-era propaganda depictions of Japanese People. Lovely
the 'POC' crowd are extremely racist towards japanese people or asians in general. 90% of the time when somebody says "poc" they're just trying to say "black/brown people"
@@ripleyandweeds1288 , I prefer the term black, myself. Also, I noticed in the thumbnails for the pilot, the black one was skinny why they make her fat. Well the other white one looked even more like a male. Idk if it's a stereotype, or a trend on tumbrl or something, but there's like a trend of making alphabet females look masculine and black characters fat, e.g. #Zeefixesart by some on Tumbrl. No scratch that Steven from Steven Universe is fat and he's white. I guess they just like to do that to characters.
As an author myself this offends me on so many levels. The unjustified and undeserved push from mainstream and niche media. The pure hatred toward the same sectors that motivated many of us to create something beautiful. The absolute lack of creativity or talent displayed.

them being “asshole characters” has me assuming that the creator doesn’t even consider that. it’s the personality type that everyone else in this world is an asshole and that they’re the better person in their mind; and then we all have to witness that they are the biggest assholes in the room calling everyone else such.

I just love how it's only gotten attention after it had already bombed. Usually there's months of "Whoo hoo! Look at me I am the greatest show on Earth, and if you don't like my politics then you can always leave!" before they even start the show.
I didn't really care too much about the animation until more and more people have broke it down. But honestly my main problem is how dated the political references are, like this show has just been sitting on the backburner since 2015, with references to gamergate and the villain being a literal fusion of Trump and Pepe making OK signs. A Trump villain I can handle I don't like him but the fact that people still push the idea that Pepe is a hate symbol.
Gee, I wonder what are the author's political views. JK, it's very easy to guess the target audience of this "show". Christ, It's like they're not even trying and proud of it
now the question is... will the target audience ACTUALLY go and watch it? or (like usual) this dimwits will pretend that this isn't what they wanted and push the creator under the bus...like the leftos usually do
And you know what is the sad part of that? It means that the only way other animators or artist would have the same luck of having his series animated would be if they apeal to said target audience
Actually, TH-cam didn't exist in the early 2000s. Wasn't until 2005 it popped up. Before then, you just had to find websites that hosted animation. From what I've seen here, Foamy the Squirrel is better animated.
I saw two episodes of this show and man it’s was badly weird, if feel like a shitty anime parody from Newgrounds and it’s wasn’t that funny either. But Panty and Stockings is the show does anime parodies right. Also I getting My Life Me and The Nutsack Vives out of this show.
well Panty and stocking was produced in japan so It's an anime that can parody other anime well, this show was made by some Tumblr artist that hates anime
@@cutebunny2089 Thats true but Panty and Stocking was not one of them, it is a Gainax produced show that used that western PPG-esque cartoon style as parody. an anime parody can be done well under western production, just not by people who hate anime and are from Tumblr.
Not even in more experienced writers, just more creative people in general, the plot as described sounds like bad revenge fic. Every aspect of what's there could be funny and witty but instead they make it sound like things I wrote in elementary school when I wanted to sound "adult". And yeah, I'm just so sick of people still treating cartoons in the west like this stoner bait, edgy teen shoe string level budget when given what we know about art at this point in time, the west could do Violet Evergarden levels of quality in saturday morning cartoons, but the low effort is staggering, as long as you have connections, you'll do it. Pure nepotism. I'm sad that the adult themes in Western Cartoons is just "make fun of the dumb pervy East" when they are technically competing with Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Tatami Galaxy or Cowboy Bebop in terms of writing or just in terms of quality in movement with things such as Ping Pong the Animation.
This show is a level of tumbler fan fic you would scrape off your shoe...or more likely just throw your shoe away, rather than take the chance you might track that utter total turd sandwich level garbage into your house. Or even in a place you wouldn't want to burn down.
Yeah. Heck I would prefer anything made by animeme even better than this. I wanted the show to be good since I want to make my own adult magical girl novel but this assholes give the idea a bad name.
An animated show that appeals to the very small target audience. The planet is probably facing the next economic depression and studio is wasting resources on such a stupid concept made by a social justice dolt with no writing experience. Usually, when people are facing with economic crisis, the entertainment industry goes through a renaissance process. But unfortunately, that's not the case. I'm not mad about this show existing. I'm just disappointed that animation stdios are throwing money on bad ideas instead of good quality storytelling and animation.
"Usually, when people are facing with economic crisis, the entertainment industry goes through a renaissance process." There's always a Dark Age period before the Renaissance. We're in it right now.
@@MK_ULTRA420 I thought we were in a Dark Age period for the past decade when it comes to bad movies, comics and cartoons. This must be the Dark Period at its peak, then.
If anything, animation has been going through a renaissance Green Eggs and Ham (on Netflix) Amphibia Infinity Train Mao Mao Craig in the Creek The Cassagrandes TMNT 2012 Last Kids on Earth Big City Greens Kipo and the Age of the Wonderbeasts The Dragon Prince Big Hero Six the Series Tangled the Series Hilda Carmen Sandiego (on Netflix) Ninjago Glitch Techs Ducktales
It's rare to find a mature cartoon that's actually mature. Guess we'll have to keep searching... But y'know, there ARE some good mature parodies of maho shoujo, like Kill La Kill, Panty & Stocking, Bee and Puppycat...
I actually ran into a manga like this once - I don't remember the title, but the basic premise was similar. Basically, the usual magical-girl-empowering cute alien critter is looking for a champion, and it accidentally picks a foul-mouthed, chain-smoking delinquent girl. I didn't actually read much, but I flipped through it - and from that flip-through, I can still remember it having better humor and characters than THIS thing. (For one thing, the heroine actually IS heroic, even though she's been drastically miscast - the humor is that she defies expectations, not that she's a horrible person.)
@@hakumenx1 Ah, yes, that's the one, all right. Probably won't be turned into an anime anytime soon, but if it is, I'm guessing it'd probably be and do better than 'Friendship Squad'.
to go from an assistant to a series writer sounds so insane. To do it in less than a year is even crazier, I mean you gotta have some talent to move up so fast. Then again this is modern day western television talent is optional.
I agree with you when you said: "I don't really like mean-spirited humor." (7:18 min) Meanness spreads like a virus, i.e., "meanness begets meanness." So, we should endeavor to minimize being mean to others.
I’d rather people who make this stuff come and make their own stuff instead of taking someone else’s stuff and ruining it and claiming they made it better arrogantly when they reduced a character.
I didn’t notice that her guitar has an S shaped symbol on it until you told me because I usually only ever notice the laminated posters of the original Strawhat Pirates bounty posters.
The characters look like generic gay girl 6 and generic overweight black 2. If you told me either of their names i guarantee you I would instantly forget it.
This was a great analysis. Thanks for actually looking at the shows problems and not just saying it's "cringe." This is the best review I've seen of the show so far You've got my sub, and I'm interested in seeing anime vids from your perspective :)
yeah saw this along with the Wild Life show without any teaser the MGFS i thought it would be parody fun like kappa mikey or something but it wasn't good didn't interest me at all both shows are not that greatly animated but most of the time it's the story and characters that drive the show heck i even watched a few shows just for the atmosphere but these just didn't made the cut for me either. Anyone looking for a magical girl anime maybe watch Sailor Moon og or even the remake and if you want something more serious for halloween try Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
"These characters are assholes. You'll be happy to know that this one is a lesbian, and this one is taking birth control" Me: "Uh... why would i be happy about--" "So thank god they wont be reproducing" Me: //dies of laughter
I'd argue that they used a flash animation instruction book from the early 00's to make the cartoon. But that aside, I grew up on 80's/90's Anime, if you want "strong female lead" and LGBTQ tropes, put on Project A-ko!
You know, I kinda wanna see one of these 'creatives' be inspired by an anime like Berserk, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gundam, or even Bio-Booster Armor Guyver instead of Sailor Moon.
Ikr, having cartoon that really inspired by true anime fans is a good idea. I mean just imagine American take on gundam, being the world police and stop war by having war and realized that war bring nothing toward humanity, only destruction.
Magical Girl Friendship Squad may not be a animated version of Sailor Moon Crystal and the other Pretty Cure series but this is comedy animated series for adults that's why some people think this series is bad. There are some funny scenes in Magical Girl Friendship Squad episodes like: how Nut showing her history to Alex and Daisy by making them touch her ass even though they found it really disgusting😀😅😂🤣. In episode 2 Alex and Daisy are still not taking saving the world seriously but at least their transformation outfits are a lot better than their original from the first episode👍 In episode 3 is right about this title of Parents Crap because that's exactly what Daisy's parents really are as they don't want to accept Daisy for a 20 year old woman she is. Plus they up tight, ungreatful and old fashion of their religious belived. Well at least we got a chanced to get to know Corbin in this episode even though he's a mix comedy villian working for his boss, I wonder who Corbin's boss really is and is she the one from Nut's flash back from episode 1 who wanted to destroy the universe? In episode 4 Once again Daisy and Alex still haven't destroyed the monster from the beginning of this episode completely so it looks like they're chopping another body again. Also funny scene 😀😅😂of Corvin wearing Gym outfit while doing his exercise on his work desk and crying like a baby when those tiny mushroom alien stole his trophy😭💖🏆. And then at the end of the episode Nut is turning into a redecorator fixing Daisy and Alex's flat😀😅😂, like she's a goddess/ red panda what does she know about DIY. I'm not defending the series just saying that there's some comedy, action and silly thing happening for adult's show only which is exactly the point..
"Adult Cartoons" are ironically made for 10-14 year olds who think they're more mature for watching a show with swearing and violence. And usually "creators" go the shock route when they can't develop anything good. And as an adult, I still like shows aimed at kids more than shows supposedly for adults. Because the good ones have good characters and plot. Usually universal plots that were done in a lot of adult shows in the past. You can watch an episode of MLP and see something taken out of Star Trek or Maverick. Yet you watch these "adult" shows and it's just poop jokes and screaming for 13 minutes. Gee, I wonder why the "adult" show isn't as good as a show made for 6 year old kids...
Reasons family guy and american dad aren't as good anymore. Heck even Vivzie made something better with no backup other than her own fans. That's why many do fight for people to have degrees and even why in disney they won't accept an idea for a show unless said creator has at least experience in writing
People being put in positions that they're not qualified for, even though they're hundreds of more capable people? *_That's been the definition of "adult" behavior for quite some time_*
"Friendship magic squad Girl name is too long" I'd like to introduce you to a show I grew up in, which was shown on Jetix back in the 2000's. It's called *deep breath* Super Robot Monkey Team: Hyper Force Go! :)
Dannphan: TH-cam Wuality *Dragonball Deliverence has entered the chat.* *EDIT:* Seriously, even if you don’t like DragonBall look at this fan made animation.. It’s Studio-like.
The only thing I feel every anime con needs is a hygienic antechamber which each person is required to go through in order to access the main building. We tried asking nicely, but at some point you just have to accept that some people will never understand how soap works.
These hate fueled "creativity" is always directed towards inoffensive groups. Like gamers, anime fans, comicbook fans... They'd never have the balls to joke about actual bad people
This has given me a cheeky reference idea for my Sailor Moon VM fan-fic story, the main thing about the story is the Sailor Guardians find another Moon Princess, (who happens to be a vampire) that they have no memory of and she has no memories of her past (in fact she might die if she did), which leads to a big mystery as to why she had been hidden from them... Eventually, she and the Sailor Guardians discover the dark secret surrounding her... (Spoiler: the other Moon Princess had been tricked into doing something absolutely terrible which caused a lot of destruction) Yuzuki is obviously very upset about discovering the truth about herself but to her surprise, Sailor Moon & the others quickly forgive her, Yuzuki asks why did they forgive her and the Sailor Moon tells her that of-course she's forgives her so easily, she's their friend and teammate and the Sailor Guardians are the 'original magical friendship squad...'
Saw the first-ish season, saw it after Gary and his Demons who is actually is a solid cheap Syfy show, it was awful just awful. Serious a lizard space trump is the villain c'mon a little effort guys
honestly, if the whole premise was just "they got mistaken for warriors by a magic panda, because they were quoting john wick 2" i might actually be curious about it. everything else is nope.
It's interesting because episode 1 I noticed that scene where they are, painfully, just reusing the leg animation to do a pretty bad 'we r walkin!' effect. I am sure other shows use walk cycles (maybe not as obvious) but I think I noticed it more here because....nothing they were saying was really interesting. If I'm more interested in your legs than your words that's not a good sign.
I remember when it was marketed by some to be "A show for PoC", and then they had the weeb character who works for the big bad be a fat Asian whose face looks like WW2-era propaganda depictions of Japanese People.

I just love how it's only gotten attention after it had already bombed. Usually there's months of "Whoo hoo! Look at me I am the greatest show on Earth, and if you don't like my politics then you can always leave!" before they even start the show.
High Guardian Spice: nothing could be as woke as us or as full of cringe.
MGFS: hold our bongos and BC pills and watch this.
I thought that show was cancelled.

What even happened to HGS? I remember hearing things off-and-on and there was apparently a test screening, but haven't heard anything since.

I didn't really care too much about the animation until more and more people have broke it down. But honestly my main problem is how dated the political references are, like this show has just been sitting on the backburner since 2015, with references to gamergate and the villain being a literal fusion of Trump and Pepe making OK signs. A Trump villain I can handle I don't like him but the fact that people still push the idea that Pepe is a hate symbol.
The animation is nothing special..its just ok i guess
Gee, I wonder what are the author's political views.
JK, it's very easy to guess the target audience of this "show".
Christ, It's like they're not even trying and proud of it
now the question is... will the target audience ACTUALLY go and watch it? or (like usual) this dimwits will pretend that this isn't what they wanted and push the creator under the bus...like the leftos usually do
And you know what is the sad part of that? It means that the only way other animators or artist would have the same luck of having his series animated would be if they apeal to said target audience
@Mcheetah i wasnt bullied in school. Dont bunch me in with these sub humans
Nobody liked the show, so clearly this target audience does not even exist lol
What even is the target audience of the show? I'm pretty sure SJWs will easily just pass this over in favor of something else.
I love that you used old Grumps audio for your intro. That's hilarious!
That intro. 😆😆
Hold up! Are you suggesting that the detractors are suggesting they attempt to, "Make Anime Great Again?" 😏
Actually everyone else just pointed to magical girl shows and the variety in it.
Actually, TH-cam didn't exist in the early 2000s. Wasn't until 2005 it popped up.
Before then, you just had to find websites that hosted animation.
From what I've seen here, Foamy the Squirrel is better animated.
Early 2000s newsgrounds flash animation is better than this
Foamy is great
Foamy is still going strong on TH-cam, too.

I've been making sure to continue following his content. Not many creators from my high school days are making content like they did.
I saw two episodes of this show and man it’s was badly weird, if feel like a shitty anime parody from Newgrounds and it’s wasn’t that funny either. But Panty and Stockings is the show does anime parodies right. Also I getting My Life Me and The Nutsack Vives out of this show.
well Panty and stocking was produced in japan so It's an anime that can parody other anime well, this show was made by some Tumblr artist that hates anime
@@gibmeaway100 There are some Western cartoons that parody anime back in the 2000’s and early 2010’s.
Hey, Zone-Sama came from Newgrounds and his work is God-Tier.
He actually works for CN now.
@@cutebunny2089 You mean Kappa Mikey? That show was weeeeeird.
@@cutebunny2089 Thats true but Panty and Stocking was not one of them, it is a Gainax produced show that used that western PPG-esque cartoon style as parody.
an anime parody can be done well under western production, just not by people who hate anime and are from Tumblr.
Not even in more experienced writers, just more creative people in general, the plot as described sounds like bad revenge fic. Every aspect of what's there could be funny and witty but instead they make it sound like things I wrote in elementary school when I wanted to sound "adult".
And yeah, I'm just so sick of people still treating cartoons in the west like this stoner bait, edgy teen shoe string level budget when given what we know about art at this point in time, the west could do Violet Evergarden levels of quality in saturday morning cartoons, but the low effort is staggering, as long as you have connections, you'll do it. Pure nepotism.
I'm sad that the adult themes in Western Cartoons is just "make fun of the dumb pervy East" when they are technically competing with Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Tatami Galaxy or Cowboy Bebop in terms of writing or just in terms of quality in movement with things such as Ping Pong the Animation.
This show is a level of tumbler fan fic you would scrape off your shoe...or more likely just throw your shoe away, rather than take the chance you might track that utter total turd sandwich level garbage into your house. Or even in a place you wouldn't want to burn down.
Yeah. Heck I would prefer anything made by animeme even better than this. I wanted the show to be good since I want to make my own adult magical girl novel but this assholes give the idea a bad name.
"This is a show for PoC!"
Me a PoC: Thanks I hate it...
I saw the word "friendship" right next to the word "magic" and got anxious for a moment.
An animated show that appeals to the very small target audience. The planet is probably facing the next economic depression and studio is wasting resources on such a stupid concept made by a social justice dolt with no writing experience. Usually, when people are facing with economic crisis, the entertainment industry goes through a renaissance process. But unfortunately, that's not the case. I'm not mad about this show existing. I'm just disappointed that animation stdios are throwing money on bad ideas instead of good quality storytelling and animation.
"Usually, when people are facing with economic crisis, the entertainment industry goes through a renaissance process."
There's always a Dark Age period before the Renaissance. We're in it right now.
@@MK_ULTRA420 I thought we were in a Dark Age period for the past decade when it comes to bad movies, comics and cartoons. This must be the Dark Period at its peak, then.

It's rare to find a mature cartoon that's actually mature. Guess we'll have to keep searching...
But y'know, there ARE some good mature parodies of maho shoujo, like Kill La Kill, Panty & Stocking, Bee and Puppycat...
I actually ran into a manga like this once - I don't remember the title, but the basic premise was similar. Basically, the usual magical-girl-empowering cute alien critter is looking for a champion, and it accidentally picks a foul-mouthed, chain-smoking delinquent girl. I didn't actually read much, but I flipped through it - and from that flip-through, I can still remember it having better humor and characters than THIS thing. (For one thing, the heroine actually IS heroic, even though she's been drastically miscast - the humor is that she defies expectations, not that she's a horrible person.)
Its called Machimaho
@@hakumenx1 Ah, yes, that's the one, all right. Probably won't be turned into an anime anytime soon, but if it is, I'm guessing it'd probably be and do better than 'Friendship Squad'.

JLongbone's stream of the first episode provides far more entertainment and laughs than anything this "show" will ever bring us.
The definition of "tryhard." It screams "Oh, look at me being so edgy. Aren't I clever?"
to go from an assistant to a series writer sounds so insane. To do it in less than a year is even crazier, I mean you gotta have some talent to move up so fast. Then again this is modern day western television talent is optional.

I agree with you when you said: "I don't really like mean-spirited humor." (7:18 min) Meanness spreads like a virus, i.e., "meanness begets meanness." So, we should endeavor to minimize being mean to others.
I’d rather people who make this stuff come and make their own stuff instead of taking someone else’s stuff and ruining it and claiming they made it better arrogantly when they reduced a character.
Is that an S shaped headstock on a guitar? What the hell?
I didn’t notice that her guitar has an S shaped symbol on it until you told me because I usually only ever notice the laminated posters of the original Strawhat Pirates bounty posters.
The characters look like generic gay girl 6 and generic overweight black 2. If you told me either of their names i guarantee you I would instantly forget it.
In a better world, SyFy could've given money to Harry Partridge for more Starbarians instead of this.

This was a great analysis. Thanks for actually looking at the shows problems and not just saying it's "cringe." This is the best review I've seen of the show so far
You've got my sub, and I'm interested in seeing anime vids from your perspective :)
yeah saw this along with the Wild Life show without any teaser the MGFS i thought it would be parody fun like kappa mikey or something but it wasn't good didn't interest me at all both shows are not that greatly animated but most of the time it's the story and characters that drive the show heck i even watched a few shows just for the atmosphere but these just didn't made the cut for me either. Anyone looking for a magical girl anime maybe watch Sailor Moon
og or even the remake and if you want something more serious for halloween try Puella Magi Madoka Magica.
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume THIS is that vision of anime "prefected"
"These characters are assholes. You'll be happy to know that this one is a lesbian, and this one is taking birth control"
Me: "Uh... why would i be happy about--"
"So thank god they wont be reproducing"
Me: //dies of laughter
I'd argue that they used a flash animation instruction book from the early 00's to make the cartoon. But that aside, I grew up on 80's/90's Anime, if you want "strong female lead" and LGBTQ tropes, put on Project A-ko!
The animation made me step in a pool of gasoline and drop a lit match.
"Friendship Magic Squad Girl" is a cluster-fuck of a name that's only second to "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go".
Message to everyone, abandon western media or where ever the heck this mess comes from...read books or play board games instead.
Or, y'know, you could watch actual anime... Personally, I'm not a fan of board games but books are awesome.
books??? can be??? western media???

Hey! What are your thoughts on Lore Olympus on webtoons?
Dang it dannphan! You got me missing old school game grumps now! I miss those days...
You know, I kinda wanna see one of these 'creatives' be inspired by an anime like Berserk, Fullmetal Alchemist, Gundam, or even Bio-Booster Armor Guyver instead of Sailor Moon.
Ikr, having cartoon that really inspired by true anime fans is a good idea. I mean just imagine American take on gundam, being the world police and stop war by having war and realized that war bring nothing toward humanity, only destruction.
Castlevania is very Berserk Inspired. In fact, Warren Ellis said he was interested in Adapting Berserk.
The show feels like it came 10 years ago.
Magical Girl Friendship Squad may not be a animated version of Sailor Moon Crystal and the other Pretty Cure series but this is comedy animated series for adults that's why some people think this series is bad. There are some funny scenes in Magical Girl Friendship Squad episodes like:
how Nut showing her history to Alex and Daisy by making them touch her ass even though they found it really disgusting😀😅😂🤣.
In episode 2 Alex and Daisy are still not taking saving the world seriously but at least their transformation outfits are a lot better than their original from the first episode👍
In episode 3 is right about this title of Parents Crap because that's exactly what Daisy's parents really are as they don't want to accept Daisy for a 20 year old woman she is. Plus they up tight, ungreatful and old fashion of their religious belived. Well at least we got a chanced to get to know Corbin in this episode even though he's a mix comedy villian working for his boss, I wonder who Corbin's boss really is and is she the one from Nut's flash back from episode 1 who wanted to destroy the universe?
In episode 4 Once again Daisy and Alex still haven't destroyed the monster from the beginning of this episode completely so it looks like they're chopping another body again. Also funny scene 😀😅😂of Corvin wearing Gym outfit while doing his exercise on his work desk and crying like a baby when those tiny mushroom alien stole his trophy😭💖🏆. And then at the end of the episode Nut is turning into a redecorator fixing Daisy and Alex's flat😀😅😂, like she's a goddess/ red panda what does she know about DIY.
I'm not defending the series just saying that there's some comedy, action and silly thing happening for adult's show only which is exactly the point..
"Adult Cartoons" are ironically made for 10-14 year olds who think they're more mature for watching a show with swearing and violence. And usually "creators" go the shock route when they can't develop anything good. And as an adult, I still like shows aimed at kids more than shows supposedly for adults. Because the good ones have good characters and plot. Usually universal plots that were done in a lot of adult shows in the past. You can watch an episode of MLP and see something taken out of Star Trek or Maverick. Yet you watch these "adult" shows and it's just poop jokes and screaming for 13 minutes. Gee, I wonder why the "adult" show isn't as good as a show made for 6 year old kids...
Reasons family guy and american dad aren't as good anymore. Heck even Vivzie made something better with no backup other than her own fans. That's why many do fight for people to have degrees and even why in disney they won't accept an idea for a show unless said creator has at least experience in writing
People being put in positions that they're not qualified for, even though they're hundreds of more capable people?
*_That's been the definition of "adult" behavior for quite some time_*
Who needs writing experience? All that matters is the "correct narrative".
How a assistant gets her own mainline show.... *Coucgh couch* bed sucking *couch cough*
They should've named this show, Magical Social Justice Warriors
I agree with you entirely that they should named it Magical Social Justice Warriors.

The only thing I feel every anime con needs is a hygienic antechamber which each person is required to go through in order to access the main building. We tried asking nicely, but at some point you just have to accept that some people will never understand how soap works.

These hate fueled "creativity" is always directed towards inoffensive groups. Like gamers, anime fans, comicbook fans... They'd never have the balls to joke about actual bad people
This isn't even like... "normie" levels of boring adult animation shows (Family Guy, Rick and Morty, etc). This is just for the "feminist" crowd.
No....I’ve yet to see a feminist who found this show good. The show thinks it’s aiming for millennials but it’s actually aiming at no one.
@@mistresslum6682 doesn’t mean that actual feminists (of any class) like it, just that they’re the target demographic.
I'm so happy people still use Jongrump clips
Watching that... show was painful but I finally found this channel again. At least some good came from this.
then there is the third side: i dont know anime, i dont watch anime. its like burger king: i know it exists but i dont go there
This has given me a cheeky reference idea for my Sailor Moon VM fan-fic story, the main thing about the story is the Sailor Guardians find another Moon Princess, (who happens to be a vampire) that they have no memory of and she has no memories of her past (in fact she might die if she did), which leads to a big mystery as to why she had been hidden from them... Eventually, she and the Sailor Guardians discover the dark secret surrounding her... (Spoiler: the other Moon Princess had been tricked into doing something absolutely terrible which caused a lot of destruction) Yuzuki is obviously very upset about discovering the truth about herself but to her surprise, Sailor Moon & the others quickly forgive her, Yuzuki asks why did they forgive her and the Sailor Moon tells her that of-course she's forgives her so easily, she's their friend and teammate and the Sailor Guardians are the 'original magical friendship squad...'
As soon as you said one uses a bong and the other her birth control I instantly thought "so they made Panty & Stocking....but worse?"
Lol I had the exact same thought.
Saw the first-ish season, saw it after Gary and his Demons who is actually is a solid cheap Syfy show, it was awful just awful. Serious a lizard space trump is the villain c'mon a little effort guys
honestly, if the whole premise was just "they got mistaken for warriors by a magic panda, because they were quoting john wick 2" i might actually be curious about it. everything else is nope.
Gamer gate never ended for these people. They can’t accept defeat
It's interesting because episode 1 I noticed that scene where they are, painfully, just reusing the leg animation to do a pretty bad 'we r walkin!' effect. I am sure other shows use walk cycles (maybe not as obvious) but I think I noticed it more here because....nothing they were saying was really interesting. If I'm more interested in your legs than your words that's not a good sign.
"I know this may be a hot take, but all these things in the landfill are trash."
It's a shame too, I remember some friends in a discord server being excited for this to come out.
