    Apologies if this sounds dumb I’m not an anime expert. I saw this post and checked out Ragna crimson.

    Now I overall like it(after 2 episodes) but there a couple things that left me a bit confused.

    1 - what’s up with the head patting in the first episode and generally this kind of hyper infantilized Leo? I’ve never met a 12yo that acts like that, I understand this is fiction but what is the point exactly? Should I feel endeared? Because it did the opposite, creeped me the fuck out. Is there a name for this? (so maybe I can avoid it in the future)

    2 - the whole discussion about getting more power, I feel it’s a recurrent theme in the few anime I watched and I already thought it was cringe when goku was doing it in Dbz… I would have expected this to be gone after more than 20 years… Do Japanese people feel… Powerless? Like it’s that a thing?

    Thank you

    Honestly surprised to see Dark Gathering make it up here. I’ve been enjoying it a lot in spite of the MC, past several episodes went to some dark places and I was all about it.

        It’s damn funny and self aware

        That’s almost all isekai today, though. Even the most hackneyed isekai authors are starting to realize the genre has been beaten to death so thoroughly that they must throws some new spin on their trite and the standard these days is “isekai but it’s self-aware!” Even that has been done countless times already.
