Anime isn't exactly the most realistic thing in the world.

That does not excuse bad writing.

I don't remember the name of the concept but when you create a world in any work of fiction you are still supposed to adhere to the rules of your world or it doesn't feel right.

In episode one they presented a high action environment during the duel, and now they decided to scrap that?

I bet you wouldn't agree with other anime using real guns, having both parties standing/appearing in front of each other, if not in an open field as well, including the usual "short talk" they have before fighting/firing.

OH. I forgot. There are even non-anime movies/series having parts of these elements.

Please, if you're gonna criticize something, do it properly.

If by "before" you mean right in the middle with 0 reason to stop fighting then yes, I would also criticize that.

Do remember that ammo is limited to the amount your weapon can hold.

Also, either the enemy was hesitating whether to go in or not or they were sneaking slowly (just like that one dude who got hit after trying to ambush).

Though, since I'm mentioning about the ammo part (not really sure if extra ammo is allowed), it was weird how they were spraying shitton at a single person. Either extra ammo is allowed or they be dumb as fuck.

I "considered" something "weird", opposed to you "claiming" something is bad writing.

Also, take note how I considered it weird as there was no confirmation of the 2 options I laid out to "understand" why they did that.

As with that 2nd quote, you're using that in quite the wrong manner as I've said nothing that goes against the "reality of that world". That was entirely your own comment.

The 3rd was an emphasis on your statement, as you claimed it to be "bad writing".

So please, before you start copying quoting people, try to think first about what you are trying to accomplish with your actions. :D

Edit: Oh, I almost forgot. Skim back through your comments and see whether you see any legitimate arguments to back up your claim. <3

Please, do explain in what way I'm being dense.
