one of my anime club's officers is obsessed with your lie in april. saw one episode and it was just flooded with insipid anime romcom stereotypes, and i just hated the crap out of it. and then when he kept talking about "all the feels" he had watching it (generally speaking, i immediately turn my brain off when someone says the phrase "feels"), i kinda immediately assumed it suffered from key syndrome where it just artificially produces tragedy for no reason and to no end but to make the viewer feel sad. i guess that wasn't too far off the mark.
that's one of the highest rated shows on MAL, which i guess doesn't surprise me too much.
EDIT: oh, didn't notice you never finished terror in resonance. don't even bother, it just turns into a shittier version of death note once five comes in lol
Yeah, that sounds about right. You see the tragedy coming a mile away, because the show doesn't try to hide it, but they didn't really do anything interesting with it at all. I mean I understand if you like it at age 15 or something. It is a shonen. But it has no reason to be that high up there on MAL. Then again, Erased is also up there so I guess it's to be expected. I don't know, maybe I'm just being pretentious, but these shows have no substance. They play it very safely and go exactly by the book.
I probably will finish Terror in Resonance at some point just for the sake of completion. But that's probably futile because I will never complete everything.
