What can be done about the mexican tl problem?

Why are Japanese anime MCs
>dense to an inhuman degree (both to their power and romance) or
>dickless (have zero interest for romance even though girls throw themselves to him)
>stupid (very few MC use traps, have detailed strategies, even when he knows his enemies are coming)
>mentally fragile (Get in the fucking robot, or locking himself in a room after killing someone/monster in self-defense)
>god forbids non-happy ending in harem (given the choice of picking one of many, why not both/all, or even just pick one)
A lot of animes are unwatchable because the author is so much of a cuck to project the MC to be a cuck as well. It's so frustrating to get in a good story and have the MC stops the show.

It's funny that you're trying to connect self insertion with mental states because thinking in third person is a proven trait of 3DPD women. You can see it in how much they care whether two imaginary characters hook up or not ("shipping"). It's their version of a waifu, it's their idealized relationship, but they're too stupid to conceptualize themselves receiving the love, so they have to project it onto another character, and then they send death threats and make angry video essays when their reality television for young men doesn't end with two dudes macking off.
So I find it ironic when you're using words like "fag" to describe the kind of guy who starts lifting because he wants to be like Goku from Dragon Ball.
>>903
tl;dr: you get away with more plot contrivances if your characters are stupid, because people hold smarter characters to higher standards.

>>904
This too. It's not exclusively a Japanese problem either. After the first few trend-setters and ground-breakers, most of the people playing in that field afterwards are no longer thinking in terms of how to make a good narrative or craft an interesting and compelling storyworld from the ground up but are instead thinking in terms of how to do the cool shit they've seen others do before them but "better." The resulting lack of attention to detail and lack of understanding of what it means to create quality content as opposed to imitate and expect quality to emerge as a result of following the formula is what leads it being a derivative, shallow work. They all feel creative doing it, but when you use the methods of others as a crutch then the result will be a crippled experience.

You don't have to try to be unique or differentiate to be creative. You just need to understand the mindset of creating the genre and story for the first time and you need to be able to approach your production that way. If you don't ask those questions ("what is this story about?" "what kind of spirit am I tapping into that should resonate with audiences?" "how do I make sure the audience experiences the impressions and themes I intend?"

It become an archive or the place for somehow people that want to talk about this season in 5 years for anime that aren't worth their own thread which is basically all of them except CITY and Panty&Stocking. Then again, I found the overall quality was pretty good but I haven't been making posts because I forgot to take enough screenshots in most of the shows which is a sign I was enjoying them too much to stop at every frames.

I don’t trust his translation at all. He clearly self taught himself Japanese, zero high education, and was struggling since 2013. This is the type of translator who makes up shit when they don’t understand a line or two. JAST hired him because he was dirt cheap.

Well I did it I read everything in Yukie route and after story and S after story. Kind of disappointed that  95% of after story content is sex. And I like those scenes with great sfx and voice acting but not 6 (2 in main game and 4 in S) in a row (~30 minutes each).
Can't say much about Yukie besides that she is a shy secretly horny girl that's a great fighter but it's a given in this VN. Oh yeah prime minister as a comic relief in this route can't forget about him. 
The horse is cute and you can have him as your cursor in S.
I'll go for comedy (?) male routes next.

This anime is finally over. Turn out the MC is the male equivalent of a lolibaba, a shota jiji? The plot was just an excuse for the MC to act retarded and fuck around. It was refreshing having a OP character that isn't an edgelord or a cuck, if I had to describe this anime badly I would say it's 'one punch man but as a retard in a support role'.

Take a special breed of autism to make a robot fall in love with you, but it also take a pure soul to reject all the slutty harlots and keep yourself loyal to the best girl. Might be the best MC of this season. I actually enjoyed this anime rather than simply tolerating it because I'm an autistic otaku that watch all the trash I can. Need more sci-fi anime even if it's isekai sci-fi, the dominance of the fantasy genre has gone on for far too long.

How did anons find this season?

I don't generally follow seasonal anime but I got invested in Mono and Koupen,  If you'll forgive my review.

Koupen was super. Super short, super cute and super healing, definitely worth keeping.
Mono From the Yuru Camp author and by a new studio, was very well animated but won't be for everyone. Early on the author was too in your face with Yuru camp references, and many people seem to have been mislead to expect a yuri photography anime which meant they felt justified in lambasting the series in every thread on 4/a/.
Worth a watch if you like laid back travel series and CGDCT, the series really picked up from a low point half way through when it found its footing again and the blatant yuru camp references dropped off a little, would probably watch an s2.

Anything you guys think was worth watching from this season?

Apart from Gundam, most of the anime I've watched were mostly just shitty wastes of time that were still comfy enough to eat or fall asleep watching them. Out of them, Ore wa Seikan was the most interesting and entertaining but I would still qualify it as a seasonal anime. Gundam was decent but could have way better. I also think me being a huge tomino and UC nerd is the reason I even found anything enjoyable about it. 
2/10 season, would watch again if I went back in time. Now onto the next seasonal thread once enough shit has aired.

It was indeed lulzy and the Gundam Good Ending we never knew we needed, but as is typical with Anno there is so much that makes no goddamn sense if you think about it for even a second:
>If the RX-78 was from the "other side" (the AU where Char dies) why did it turn into bootleg Ideon?
>When the fuck did we learn Challia was working for Artesia/Sayla the whole time?
>Where did Shuji originally come from? Where the fuck is he? If he's in the post-apocalyptic shithole that is late UC things are going to get interesting real fast if they do a sequel.
>What the fuck is up with the white Haro? It seems to know things and activated the psycommu in the GQuuuuuux by itself but that loose end was never followed up on.
>Who or what was talking to Shuji through the Red Gundam, if not Char or Lalah?
>Where the fuck did the original Lalah go? She says thank you and then vanishes into the Zeknova. Char is back to his disguised form afterward so did she intentionally zero-sum herself Elder Scrolls style so the GQuuuuuux universe could evolve without her influence?
>Who got cucked in the end with Shuji seemingly choosing Machu before vanishing?

Probably because Anno and the rest of the staff are huge Tominofags. It was the Gquux that turned into Ideon/Eva with its black hole bullshit and mouth opening. Ideon just screamed and yelled as he sliced planets without the need of a mouth, now that's pure power.
Shariah is just a newtype autist so basically a true Zeon Deikumfag but he know Char is a nice guy who would never betray anyone so Char is obviously not suited for a leadership position. Also Artesia make sense, she got Ramba Ral and maybe other loyalists. She's a fed veteran and a rare femoid in UC that isn't a sicko so there is a chance the fed glowniggers also supported her.
I think he's some fucker that got picked up in a previous universe. With a limitless of alt-universe, there might be one where the feds or zeon made some schizo cyber newtype that met Lalah.
It's Ide himself, the soul of the moonlight butterfly too, perhaps even the true mastermind behind the Zambot3 incident. Haro at this point is a being that transcend timeline, the fucker is also in other gundam universe.
Probably the Gundam itself, it seem the white gundam was possessed by Amuro's spirit or something. He got pulled in because he's the one that keep killing Char. I don't think it's Amuro himself but rather his feelings and m
