So, Studio Ghibli is moving into CGI from their handrawn animations with their new film “Aya and the Witch”.

I’m now up to episode 150 of Fairy Tail.
I’ll be going up to 175, then I’ll take a small break to watch MHA season 2.

I have very mixed feelings about Shakugan no Shana season 3. On the one hand, there is practically no filler in the season. It is mostly just characters talking about strategies and fight scenes. On the other hand, I feel that is to the series’ detriment.
What made seasons 1 and 2 so good was its ability to alternate between character development and action scenes. When a fight scene wasn’t happening, the show was busy fleshing out the characters. With season 3, however, you don’t get that much.
Another thing that I feel seasons 1 and 2 of Shakugan no Shana did better than season 3 is that when a big, dramatic fight scene took place, they gave the audience a chance to breathe after it was over. That doesn’t happen in season 3. It’s like one long endless fight scene. There are a couple episodes that focus on something other than the fighting, like when Shana goes to New York, but episodes like that are few and far between.
I’m not trying to diminish the action in season 3. It’s pretty great. But it felt like they sacrificed character development for fight scenes. The only major development that happens is the relationship between Margery Daw and Satō, but even then I feel like they didn’t focus on it enough.
I know the biggest criticism people have with season 3 is that there’s no build up to the main character switching to the dark side. But at least that happened at the very beginning and can be excused with the passage of time. My biggest criticism is there’s not enough character progression. Instead of having 85% of season 3 be a fight showcase, they could’ve focused on the main character’s journey to becoming evil. Maybe they build up to it and he becomes evil by episode 12 or something like that. Then, you can do nothing but fighting.
Season 3 of Shakugan no Shana is in my opinion not as bad as people say it is. But it’s still in my opinion a missed opportunity. It really could’ve been better if there was more breather episodes that focused on what the characters were thinking. But instead, season 3 sacrifices character advancement for action scenes.

I’m going to say yes, it’s very unfair (I misunderstood the question). The average anime fan is more than capable of having healthy relationships with the opposite gender.
The really hardcore-est of hardcore fans (the type who spend $1000s on merch and seem to think their waifu is a real person that they intend to marry)…..maybe. They’ve idolized anime girls so much in their minds, that real women could never measure up. This creates disappointment, which can curdle and fester into true hatred.

Is it an unfair characteristic to say that a lot of anime fans are incels?

Well, incel is defined as wanting to be in a relationship but not being in one.

It’s wanting a relationship and being unable to acquire one.
What you described is called being single.

Those are still very broad definitions. Something actually incels themselves try to push. Sound like just typical case of being virgin
Anyway this is just nasty nerd stereotype
