Latter part about pseudo intellectual nonsense. I haven't kept up in AGES with DC so whatever is going on is beyond me. A lot of cases DO operate on Fridge Logic like the Moonlight Sonata case and a few others like Villa Murder one as well and there are likely several more. Detective Conan is great as well, but yeah the instant you REALLY think hard about some things the immersion breaks and you notice the flaws.
the timeline is totally screwed I will grant you that. The only way the show makes any sense is if it takes place in a reverse hyperbolic time chamber that instead of turning 1 day into a year it turns 100 days into 1 when it comes to aging and progression of characters.
the series has been running for 23 years and officially I think 6 months have passed in the story :P
I also won't disagree that some of the episodic cases get a bit out there, even if they are in general based off actual cases that the creator researches and then redesigns for his manga. I've never claimed the series was perfect, but most of the major arcs that take place are some of the best writing in shounen. They are well planed out, well set up, involve great characters, and lots of intelligent well polished writing. The downside of which is they really don't start paying off until like 200 episodes into the anime lol.
but yeah, don't think I'm trying to say Conan is vastly superior to Fairy Tail. I'm just saying Fairy Tail isn't as good.
For comparison the ratings I gave the shows on MAL
Conan - 9/10
One piece - 10/10
FMA - 10/10
Fairy Tail - 8/10 (first series rating)
I gave the first series of naruto 7/10, though the only reason it is below fairy tail is because of the 80 episodes of filler to end the series.
bleach is a 6/10 (but the first 60 episodes or so are a 9/10)
I prefer My hero academia to both fairy tail and conan though :P
There's not a character in Naruto or Bleach I like more than the cast of Fairy Tail, personally.
I find Natsu to be equally as annoying as Naruto most of the time.
I like gray, but I got tried of his stripping gag the moment it started so most of the time I'm annoyed with him outside of the combat
Erza is fun, but she is constantly used as a vessel for fan service, and is typically done dirty. The universe constantly tells me she is way stronger than Natsu or Gray, but in almost any given arc it's Natsu who rises up instead of Erza.
I like Lucy as a character, but she is almost always poorly used in the arcs and often is just there having no business being with the rest of them.
Also bleach and naruto don't have Happy. which is a huge plus as far as the main cast goes for those shows because 99% of the time Happy is just annoying.
That being said, Overall I think the cast of fairy tail is indeed more interesting than Naruto or Bleach, just the arcs they are apart in aren't as interesting as the respective primes of those series to me.
Came across it in one of my colleges anime clubs :( dont dare say cowboy bebop is not good or praise Tokyo Ghoul.
you complain about the promised neverland adaption.
you should compare Tokyo Ghoul anime to the manga sometime #_#
