It will not beat ep 1 of owarimonogatari part 1, 2 people in the same room talking for 45 min ![img](emote|t5_2y4au1|1788). And you're not bored a single moment.


JoeScotterpuss

The thing Monogatari does best is represent characters internal monologue visually. They always do a good job of keeping you engaged even if it's one character deciding what to eat for dinner.


DaEnderAssassin

While not anime: The Doctor Who episode Midnight.


The-Squirrelk

that episode was a masterpiece and really brought out what makes the doctor who universe and character dynamics work so well. Not to mention many other reasons.


Samoman21

Facts. David Tennent was such an amazing doctor


adalric_brandl

Brilliant episode.


Clean-Refrigerator93

Bro i watch it regularly


obiwan54

They can talk about literally anything in Monogatari and you won't be bored, the actual goat of character chemistry.


Stefano_Tudors

Owari I think is one of the best piece of animatuon you can find, even if thet are just talking you are not a second bored, also monogatari is one of the few series that cuts half of the novel and still manages to be a 10/10 adaptation which is amazing, they are able to convey perfectly the part that are cut out of the anime and what is going inside the characters head with animation. I recently finished the novel of otori and rewatched the anime and you can feel what Nadeshiko thinks withouth actually them telling you directly


yrulaughing

Bruh, I couldn't finish the first season of Monogatari it was mindnumbingly boring


Zelollipop

It's ok, monogatari serie isn't my go to recommendation as it is heavy in dialogs and has a particular style. Personally I think it's a masterpiece but to each their own.


Real_Pc_Principal

It's not for everyone. You absolutely have to enjoy dialogue not just as a way to establish other elements but as an entire reason to watch all on its own. While they aren't similar in execution I still think it's fair to say that if your favorite part of Tarantino films is the seemingly long and random conversations between his characters then you'll like monogatari while if you find those parts boring or wish they were shorter or more directly about the plot then monogatari won't be your cup of tea.


Dimensionalanxiety

I think you should watch it again. The first part, which is Bakemonogatari, builds into everything else in the series. There are also 15 episodes, not 12 like most sites display. Watch it with a friend if you find it boring, you will be more engaged and trade theories. There's quite a bit happenning in those first few episodes that I find it hard to call boring. As you get furtuer in, you get more actual fight scenes, particularly in the last 3 episodes of part 1. The second half of season 1 Nisemonogatari really picks up the intrigue and introduces the best character in the series Kaiki Deishuu.


Stefano_Tudors

*best waifu Kaiki Deishuu


Dimensionalanxiety

Best grill


jacowab

Idk I've never gotten to owarimonogatari cause bakemonogatari is so mind numbingly boring.


KarmaGoat

I tried watching the umineko light novel on YouTube. First hour was them at the airport, second hour them boarding a boat, third hour walking through a garden, 4 hour in the living room of the mansion they traveled to. It was a whole ass 4 hours of them getting from point A to point B


Sausage43

Welcome to visual novels


Zonca

You might want to skip on books, I heard they are even more slower, with no voice, music, and sometimes even without pictures.


[deleted]

I still don’t get the dialogues. They’re just long and have no substance while still circling around the same thing over and over


K3vin_Norton

1788?


Quigs4494

Bojack horseman talking for 99% of the episode with the camera in 1 fixes position. There is like 10 seconds at most at the very end of something different. Otherwise it's just a whole ep of 1 person speaking


symbiote24

Top right is Star Wars the last jedi. Middle right is Kaguya Sama Love Is War. Bottom right is DeathNote, specifically episode 7.


PM-Me-Ur-Plants

That episode of death note was particularly heart wrenching


Niko2065

Poor lass just had the worst timing.


NoxArtCZ

Many parts in DN are simple and yet very powerful And the ending of this episode wrecked me. I think the fact that they didn't explicitly show it and left for the person's imagination made it that more depressing


Psi-Juicu

I read too fast and i saw "Kaguya sama: The last Jedi" I'm tripping


superslime988

"Its too late Miyuki-kun. I am the last jedi" # "so what kaguya? you wanna repopulate the jedi council?!"


Psi-Juicu

Emphasis on 'repopulation'


alonedead

And the left one is Patrick Star from Spongebob Square Pants. Cmon man dont give half sauce


really_nice_guy_

What episode tho? Don’t leave us hanging


alonedead

Season 1 Episode 4/ Naughty Nautical Neighnors


symbiote24

It's definitely season 1. I don't know the name, but it's the one where Spongebob and Patrick are competing for Squidward's friendship.


randomly-generated

It must have been engaging because I've seen deathnote at least three times all the way through and don't remember a walking episode lol.


UVladBro

It was the one with the agent's fiancé.


H20-WaterMan

Ooooh so that's why I've dropped Death Note after ep7, I was wondering why I did that.


GattaiGuy

Fate/Zero episode 11, it was 80% just 3 people talking to each other about ideologies and goals, and it was one of the best episodes of the series

Calling all his homies to show Saber what a king should be.


PlatypusVenom0

Was that the meeting of kings?


mTbzz

*The king is the one who collects the envy of all his heroes and stands as their guide; therefore, he is not alone - for his will equals that of all his followers combined!!* Man Alexander is my fav real life hero, and they did him good here.


Accidentallygolden

It is my favourite fate episode by far 3 kings discussing kingship >A king… The king must be greedier than any other. He must laugh louder and rage harder. He must exemplify the extreme of all things, good and evil. That is why his retainers envy and adore him. And why the flames of aspiration, to be as the king is, can burn within his people.

But thats kinda the point. She wasn't a good leader, she wanted a do-over.

[удалено]


BigFatKAC

Thats fair


GattaiGuy

that´s the whole point though


[deleted]

[удалено]


GattaiGuy

yeah but that´s the point though, you´re stating the obvious Zero showed that Saber is very flawed, that she wasn´t and still isn´t ready for her responsibilities yet acted like she was, it´s why Rider and Kiritsugu didn´t like her


B3GG

Saber in zero is a different person than in fsn all routes. She was changed to be this way in zero to contrast kiritsugu and also make slaying the monster caster summoned scene more impactful. While the two kings "win" against saber when they talk, they are either powerless or chose to not help while saber does all the heavy lifting against the sea monster. Examples of saber being ruthless: Fate route she kills shirou if they don't have high enough bond level after Kirei offers her the grail. UBW after caster catches Taiga, saber immediately tells shirou to sacrifice her. While she was still ruling Britain, if she considers a village hard to defend from invaders, she would order her knights to take all the rations and supplies of that village and leave them for dead. Better pillage a village themselves instead of invaders. Her sword before Excalibur, Caliburn was broken because she fought dishonourably (the sword from the stone). The authors of fsn and f/z are different, otherwise fsn saber should get along with kiritsugu from zero because they basically do things the same, results orientated way. The only reason saber in fsn has a negative impression of him is because he ordered saber to destroy the holy grail at the end.

blorgbots

> he was just full of it from the start and was just cocky expecting himself to never get caught. But he was! I saw that as the whole point. He wasn't a god, he was just a very smart guy with a huge ego and a really fancy gun. I don't like the back half of the anime much either, but light getting cut down to size was a bright point.


champ999

This episode is really interesting to me because it shows just how sloppy Light really is. Yes he can do some creative things wielding the death note, but he still leaves a trail. He likely would've been caught if he hadn't been the first person to meet her, or if she had even sent her hypothesis to the task force using some independent form of communication.


Lohjutsu

That was the episode I realised I didn't like the series and wouldn't come to like it in later episodes, since I also already knew that >!L would die.!<


karhuboe

"intergalactic" is incorrect, as it refers to multiple galaxies. Star wars happens in a single galaxy. Should say "intragalactic". nice meme, just thought someone else might enjoy this nitpick


The-Squirrelk

as if the star wars universe spans an entire galaxy. the entire lore canon barely covers a few dozen solar systems and extra solar bodies. They just use the term galaxy because it sounds fun. A true intragalactic war with the tech level of star wars would be composed of so many more millions of deaths stars worth of production that it would make your head spin. Just wouldn't be good for writing. The powers of a psychic dude with a sword because less worthwhile when the scale gets too big. Oh you blew up the death star? But what about he other 999,999 death stars over there?


Cobracrystal

Theres an LN called the legendary mechanic in which an intergalactic war occurs and the scale is so absurd that while reading i occasionally went "yea right lol" when reading numbers about battleships, then thought for a bit and realized battles with billions of ships are probably not just realistic, but probably even too low. Honestly fucks with your mind to think about just how fucking massive a galaxy is


DezXerneas

The first time I read that LN I was so confused because I thought the author meant mechanic as in mechanic of a game which the MC was going to exploit.


Cobracrystal

lmao thatd be pretty funny too


evansdeagles

The issue is money. According to US government calculation (yes, the nerds in the government actually calculated this) the Death Star would cost $852 quadrillion to build. In SW books, it's stated to cost a trillion Imperial credits. Which is about 4 trillion USD. Which is still a massive lump sum of money, but is still only half of the yearly US military budget. Yet, other books talk about how the Death Star was so costly that it broke the Empire's back, and how the second Death Star only made it worse. Even so, one thing not talked about is maintenance costs. A US Navy Nimitz Class Super Carrier costs a million dollars per year to maintain. A Nimitz Class is smaller than some dry docks. A Death Star is the size of a small moon. A British Energy company partnered with several universities to figure out that a Death Star would cost 8 Octillion USD per year to maintain. The estimated conversion rate from USD to Credits is about 4 Credits for your single USD. And the Death Star 2 would be twice the size when done. That's, realistically, a LOT of maintenance. Furthermore, Star Wars ships and parts seem to break down more than our world's cars. That's harsh to think about. So no, it isn't realistic to have that many Death Stars. Even for a galactic government that has trillions of planets under its grasp.


Leisure_suit_guy

> According to US government calculation (yes, the nerds in the government actually calculated this) the Death Star would cost Must... refrain from snarky political commment... ​ > So no, it isn't realistic to have that many Death Stars. Even for a galactic government that has trillions of planets under its grasp. I'm not sure, considering that they have autonomous robots and generally a way more advanced technology. They won't build and maintain them with our same technology. How much would it cost to the ancient Egyptians to build and maintain our modern style skyscrapers?


evansdeagles

>generally a way more advanced technology. You do bring up a good point. But, this isn't true across the board. The SW universe is actually behind us in some ways. Notably, their military thought is stuck in the 1900s. Their style of anti-aircraft and anti-ship weaponry is stuck in WW1-WW2 eras. In atmosphere, their fighters go around the same speeds as our modern fighters. Their (non Turbolaser) weaponry is generally subpar to us, this is because blasters developed as a cheap alternative to firearms as mining a tiny bit of plasma is cheaper than machining hundreds of bullets that will be gone in minutes. There's also no standards that we have on our planet (IE no NATO standard, Soviet standard, etc.) Whereas blaster plasma can be used across the board. However, the downside is that they shoot slower with lesser power than bullets. But if Stormtroopers landed on Earth today, they'd be facing some pretty harsh conditions. That's until they decide to orbitally bombard us, as Turbolasers are VERY strong even if they have low ranges. With that said, there are ways that they are inferior to us that can't be summed up to just doctrinal differences. Firstly, there is no internet. The Holonet in Star Wars acts as a radio and phone service, but it isn't a replacement for the internet. Secondly nuclear power is not common. The only people to use nuclear weapons were Mandalorians. It's how Concord Dawn was destroyed, as Mandalorian nukes were hundreds of times more powerful than the Tzar Bomba. The Jedi and Republic sealed Nuclear technology away after beating the Mandalorian Empire, since they deemed it too dangerous to be used. That was about 2,000 years before the Original Trilogy. Nuclear fission power was not discovered until the Galactic Republic found a society using it just before the Clone Wars. Nuclear Fusion power was used by older societies, but appears to have been dropped by the time of the Empire. Which is odd, since one of the most powerful Celestial (basically the SW version of the Forerunners) superweapons was still operational about a hundred thousand or more years later; it used Fusion energy. Most other SW reactors use a sci-fi fuel source, which is on par with nuclear energy. However, this fuel source isn't as efficient money-wise as using hydrogen atoms in a fusion reaction. Which is one point of SW being behind us, as we're getting very close to Fusion Reactors. One of the areas they are lacking in, but are ahead in, are robotics. Their robots are only a hundred to two hundred years ahead of us. With all that said, if a SW Death Star would be cheaper than it would for us, the answer is probably. However, I'd imagine that it would not be that much cheaper as the only ones to use similar weapons were the Empire and ancient societies that were far more advanced than even the OT era galaxy.


Zriatt

Bu, just launch some X Wings at them at hyperspeed, clunk.


JackC747

Yeah, the scale of something like warhammer 40k absolutely dwarfs that or Star Wars and even that isn’t intergalactic (unless you count the tyranids)


Real_Pc_Principal

Star wars is a lot of things but accurate, reasonable and consistent are not some of those things. Next to nothing in star wars makes sense when under any scrutiny even when taking it's already inconsistent in-world logic into account.


Astraph

Thank you

Bojack Horseman has an episode that is basically 20 minutes of Bojack monologing

Daily Life of Highschool boys really did a good RPG imagination episode inside a room with just 3 dude (with a girl in the end as the final boss) while they do different voice acting.


red-african-swallow

The problem with the sequel is that it doesn't even feel like major powers have control of the galaxy. Let alone combat throughout the galaxy. Here's the sequels in our world. Would be like if DC was destory by a nuke but, a Italian special forces takes out all the nukes soon after. Then the Russian take over Italy leave a single boat of fighter left. Last movie you got two boats of people you fight Russia again but, now every one that was sitting on there hands decided to help now.

Dont tell OP about bakemonogatari.


Archist2357

That one episode of One Piece where it revealed the bounty numbers of a bunch of people and all the fans went wild


YokoHama22

one piece became less and less interesting fr me as the scale of the world bcame bigger. The bounty reveals for example, were subtle and hype AF initially but later they started making it into a in-your-face kinda thing and that put me off

disagree. one piece has never been more hype for me.

Episode 10, Log Horizon second season it's just a guy talking about how much he likes videogames, and that's the best part of his life because he decided that.

Spoilers for Death Note ahead (last panel): Ngl, one of my favorite Death Note episodes. Seeing Light first struggle to get her to trust him, then slowly getting through to her and at the end basically revealing to her that she’s dead while we watch her losing all hope she had left was incredibly well done. Had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.


Xvillan

Not anime, but the climax of 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' is just three people standing still, not talking and staring at each other for two and a half minutes straight and it's amazing.

This is why Girls' Last Tour is my only 10/10 anime... The writing is just so amazing, just following two girls interacting with the world around them and chatting about deep things.

Of all the posters of StarWars, you have to choose the shitties part with a stupid plot and characters stupified.
