The Last Poster Wins! [v23]

I've only heard about it, but the things I've heard weren't too good. A friend of mine can't stand it at all. :P

The random censorship or the show itself?

Mainly the show as a whole. He didn't mention anything about the censorship.

I think this was before the censorship thing happened.

Ahh. I mean I guess to each their own. The show is somewhat long, though I think we are reaching the end of it after so long. It's been running since I was like... a sophomore in high school I think. I didn't actually pick it up until it was three seasons in and it's been a roller coaster ever since. The story is quite original in its concept, though there are a few other shows that are similar but not quite the same. The main thing that makes this show stand out from the others is that it is a kids show. For the most part it's very childish, with fluffy episodes all around as best shown with this recent release, where 3 out of the 5 episodes were totally just cute fun stuff. But on the flip side, if you're old enough to understand the nuances, the show actually tackles some pretty tough topics. The most obvious one being that the gems are all female which means the ones that are in a relationship together are lesbians, and it handles that quite well when the censorship isn't involved. But it also discusses things like abusive relationships, growing up, and other things that aren't G rated so I can't mention them here through the use of the concept of fusion. While the art style isn't the most consistent and it does have a fairly long run (with the first season some fifty episodes alone), it has its serious moments and a great plot. And while the major plot twist of the show was predicted by a majority of the community fairly early on, the creators did really well to throw us off the scent, thinking it couldn't be possible. Overall, while the first season is mostly filler until you get the last couple episodes, I think the show is worth watching. It's got a fairly lovable and unique cast with memorable side characters and a notable passage of time, something I feel a lot of children's shows tend to lack these days.

A lot of shows tend to miss out on all those these days yeah. it's rare and in few just like video games too. It's all about action or graphics, or who can make it the most brutal. While in fact it's not necessary to make something amazing and beautiful. Games like Undertale, Oneshot, and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon prove this otherwise. Very few TV series do this as well.

Yeah while Undertale doesn't take quite the same path as Steven U does just due to the nature of their story telling, PMD and Steven U are actually quite similar in their story telling methods. You start off with mostly cutsy filler with not too much seriousness going on but as you draw closer to the end more and more serious episodes start showing up.

Lisa >>>> Undertale

IMO.

[Noblejanobii]

Lisa? Never heard of it. What’s it about?

[Bulbasaur]

Lisa? Never heard of it. What’s it about?

It's an RPG like Undertale, but the humor is way better and darker.

[Noblejanobii]

Hm just a quick look reminds me of the binding of isaac.

[Bulbasaur]

Haven't played Binding of Isaac, so I would not know.
