I think Kado had an interesting concept for a more serious anime, although the ending was very forced.

It's well known that No Game No Life's light novel is lewder than the anime.

One reason for this might be that anime adaptations are often intended to air on the television (even if they sell a disc with less censored scenes).

But, it might have something to do with how it's adapted (remember that adaptations are truncated or sped up).

Light novels can be lewder than the anime adaptations of them.

If there is someone out there who enjoys watching that, then cool, hope they enjoy it, but then, watching something really serious is not my idea of entertainment.

There was a guy who pitched Legend of the Galactic Empires because it's supposed to be a more cerebral anime (no link to Netflix).

I watch like an episode and can't be bothered to watch another one.

There are people who seem to assume that people write light novels so that the light novels can become anime (which would be the main product), but it's actually the light novels which are the main product.

Something to note about transported to another world titles is that they are often better fleshed out (i.e. world building) in the light novels.

It's the light novels which are the main product, not the #anime adaptations. The adaptations might be sped up or truncated.

I remember that Netflix tried to do a more cerebral anime with Exception and barely anyone seems interested in it.

There are plenty of transported to another world type titles because clearly a lot of people enjoy watching such titles.

Some of these things are also akin to beating a horse. If someone doesn't like, say, the transported to another world genre, then it's pointless to watch such titles just to complain. They are not the target audience.

This is particularly the case when someone goes out of their way to watch a title which they know they wouldn't be interested in. While infantile language could be an indicator, another indicator could be a profile which looks themed to drum up provocation. #anime @anime

When is it or isn't appropriate to do a review? I'm inclined to think that if a title is relatively niche, or targeted at a particular niche, it can be easy for hate or disdain to be dressed up as a "review". #anime @anime

I wanted to flag this as a phenomena which happens as when someone behaves in that particular exaggerated fashion, it's important to process this phenomena accordingly.

I won't dwell on this too much though as honestly this kind of discourse gets boring quickly (and eats up too much time).

It is better to focus on combatting censorship or something.

It reminds me a bit of that commentator who used to talk about how having sex with 15 or 16 year olds was okay, then he stopped doing that and shortly afterwards, he became "anti-anime" for a bit to virtue signal.

When someone is behaving in such an exaggerated fashion, it could be methinks the lady protest too much.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_lady_doth_protest_too_much,_methinks Isn't it ironic when someone complains about an #anime character supposedly looking "young", then it turns out they engage in something similar or worse? There were even outright criminals.

There is a weird phenomena where someone condemns something because it looks "young", then it turns out that person has been doing something similar (there are even those who commit outright crimes).

It's kind of nuts that a thesaurus blocked VPNs. You should be able to read them with one.

When it comes to algorithms, there are bigger fish to fry, such as use in war, use in the criminal justice system, and so on. This is a distraction.
