This "Anime" Ruined Everything In One Episode

- Twitter: twitter.com/BrandonRTalks Btw guys I know this isn't an anime lol. Hence the quotes around "anime". I'm making fun of Crunchyroll for advertising it as an anime when it isn't one. And I ain't changing it because people keep clicking on it lol - Join Our Discord Server!: discord.gg/brandonrtalks - Patreon: www.patreon.com/brandonrtalks

"it's not that bad" < proceeds to shit on it relentlessly, lol

“A boring story will always be worse than a bad story” - some smart person that validates my opinions

They could've made the blue haired girl personality be patient, intelligent and carefree, with a mindset of "Everything will work out in the end", which would rear its ugly head when she and Rose would miss the train because SOMEBODY didn't eat fast enough. Rose could've been (and probably is) the hothead, impatient and energetic, maybe even selfish. Polar opposite to her blue haired friend(?). Her selfish trait was revealed when she wanted to cut the line when the orc guy broke the bridge accidently. Blue haired girl would then subtly guilt-trip Rose into helping the dude out, because, y'know, she isn't self-centered. I though up more ways that their character could be expanded, but I'm too lazy to write it down.

Cheesecake thing was an easy fix imo. All they had to say was Rosemary felt bad making her mom the shown part in the locket despite her being missing because her dad and brother are just as important to her, so she chose the cheesecake which is something they all made together.

I hate how the creators didn't even try to make good characters.

You forgot to mention that the biggest controversy about this show was that they used the money that was supposed to go to Japanese anime creators. This was when I gave up on crunchyroll and not even hiring a vtuber could change that for me.

I think the thing that offends me most especially as a culinary student is the names. The show is called High Guardian Spice. They are all named after herbs

"There was nothing in this show that enraged me." Literally five minutes later: "WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE WRITING IN THIS SHOW!?!?"

just realized this was ONLY episode 1, literally thought this was a criticism of the overall series lol

100% agree about the representation point, the fact this is made by LGBT+ members and allies but still falls into the heartless corporation trope of "queer characterless" where their only defining trait is their sexuality/gender identity. Just look at caraway and several of their moments: - Was lavender's childhood friend> derails conversation to explain transgender identities because old photos. - knows alot about new magic > because they used it to transition. - comforts a distressed child > pushes "transition magic" on said distressed child - has personal relationships outside of being a headmaster > interations don't extend beyond implied poly relationship and sexuality.

Imagine if LWA's first episode was Akko taking the bus to the airport and then taking a plane to England and then a train to Canterbury and then she gets a broom ride to school and that's the end of the first episode.

Rose being selfish could've been fine if it was self aware. Maybe she's inconsiderate, and cares about other people but often doesn't think about how her actions affect them because she's self-centered. That could be challenged when those she cares about are in harms way, forcing her to put others before herself. That could've been character growth and maturity. But lets be honest, the writers dont realize she's selfish because they're writing themselves, and dont realize how flawed they are.

"Conflict is necessary" Sweats in Slice of Life writer who loves conflictless storylines that are one-shots

To be fair, they are going to a school not to learn magic but to become Guardians What are the Guardians you ask? That's classified information, apparently

Gotta love the generic, bland, and uninspired art style used by literally every one of these shows created by these types of people.

As a writer, I am actually impressed with how little personality the main characters have. When writing a story, the personalities form themselves. You still have to do work to develop those personalities but they are still there. Even if I did everything in my power to write a recurring character with almost no personality, I couldn't, let alone a main character.

The trixie that steals Rosemary's locket is the only character that has a story. It needs a shiny thing. The shiny thing will allow it to woo a mate. Rosemary trying to get her locket back is what is stopping it from doing its mating dance. If it does not do the dance, it does not get a mate. All four questions are answered, but it is for a minor character that is never seen again and has no further influence on the story. It is a tragic situation that the writer tasked for this subplot did not wonder why her little gem had to be hidden in a turd. Imagine what would have happened if she was given the entire episode to write.

Actually the part that infuriated people the most was that HGS was funded using donations and subscriptions from viewers who wanted to support anime like My Hero Academia, One Punch Man, Goblin Slayer, Fate/Stay Night UBW & it was redirected into something that wasn't even an anime in the loosest terms

Im a writer. The moment you said that the plot would be better is if “Rosemary wants to be a guardian because she wants to find her mom who was captured”, already new ideas came in mind: the flashback scene but with more tension and angst, a corruption form through a nightmare but slightly exaggerated. Rosemary, awake in the middle of the night and goes to secret training. Heads to an area, tree bark with sword slashes. Rosemary using her mother’s sword, routinely touching over the blade – the closest connection in holding her mother’s hand. Then recalling her mother’s passed position as a Guardian, and believes to feel that, too. Begins to train in use of the sword, but halfway through her frustration and pain comes out, making her out of control until — stopping herself in time before she could slice her father, again. He tells her about the many nights she has been outside and is concerned about her. Rosemary – not a cheerful, “relatable” person, to the public, but actually a depressed girl in opposite to her hair color’s meaning — claims on wanting to be stronger, faster, determined in finding her mom (without saying the obvious; he and the audience knows). He then urges her to come back inside, which she does, as she was drained out on both training and her emotions’ outbreak. Before joining him, she looked at the sword once more before putting it back in the scabbard she left on a tree. Placing it on her back, the weight resting further at her skin as the guilt within, she follows side by side… Then, the opening comes on! Would have watched it if it started out something like this. Cant say it can’t be intense on emotions when the show gives a warning on possible swearing. And this is just, what I could call, the prologue scene 😁👍🏾
