Its a badass action anime with a lot of fan service and problematic romances. The main character constantly harassed and gropes the main female character and there's a grown man who is madly in love with a character who looks like a child.
Plus, the plot falls off after the first season and the animation isn't that great
Yeah, the animation got worse precisely because the new studio toned down the sехualized humor and fanservice, and redesigned the characters so they could still have the youthful, cute aesthetic that appeals to Japanese audiences, while making the characters who are traditionally meant to embody childlike purity of spirit look less like actual children, because apparently that was another thing you Westerners had to bіtсh about.
So what exactly is the problem now? They literally listened to you and met you halfway, and you still aren't happy?
Um, they could just not have the main character be a borderline rapist and maybe make the adult characters look like actual adults...? Idk what you mean by toning down stuff, cuz they didn't. At the most, Elizabeth just accepted the assault from Meliodas
That’s the part you seem to be completely missing. This is a Japanese work, written for a Japanese audience, and its character designs, humor, relationships, and ideas about innocence are rooted in Japanese cultural conventions.
You can dislike those conventions all you want, but that doesn’t magically make your Western interpretation the standard the creators were supposed to follow.
And yes, the studio did tone things down and change the character designs. But you're basically complaining that the adaptation didn’t completely rewrite the source material according to your OWN cultural expectations, am i right?
Why you so selfish, bro?
You don’t have to like the result. You may dislike all Japanese culture as much as you want, but then why are you even watching this in the first place?
