| -1 My Bride is a Mermaid I thoroughly enjoyed the show, especially the scenes with the dads. I was rolling with pure laughter during the episode where they dressed like schoolgirls. I think the show is genuinely hilarious. HOWEVER, I do not see how it is at all enlightening. |
| Hi Kitkat, welcome to the club ^_^ If you take a look at the first post in this thread, you can see the anime we're currently considering for "enlightenment" (I.e. Anime that receives the Uber Elitist seal of approval) underneath the 'Purgatory' and 'New Mentions' headings. If there's anything you've seen on either of those lists you can join in the discussion by giving that title either a +1 (if you think it's really really really good, something that's among the best of the best of anime or a -1 if you dislike it or think its good, but not THAT good. |
| +1 Beast Player Erin |
| +1 Kemono no Souja Erin |
| Yay, one more vote to go for Kemono no Souja Erin. :3 |
 |
| Maybe I'll try to plow through it next week. Got stuff to do in the meantime. |
| List update: |

| Wasn't GTO added to enlightenment as well? Oh, and I'll try to watch Sky crawlers soon. |
| GTO was a repoll. |

| Dem +1s for Lupin III. Keep 'em coming. Muahaha. :P |
 |
| List update: |
| Looks like you messed up the link for LotGH while adding Kyousou Giga, Aizo :) |
|
| +Lupin III, rewatching this will be nostalgic. +Space Dandy, because I want to use this image lel... https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/IOm03f0RTP1so7xMM9Fi5yhI37TmFo4YHARmKJ21hdcPUB-FKXeE4Fa0UnSFFK7uIe35i-URFaHHkkUymlDFmoYdzB16eKCWiH0BEyIQMUWws6mv_8VLYhsO |
"Deep." |
| Probably because Space Dandy isn't Enlightening. If you wish to do an actual nomination feel free, but it's a -1 from me. (technically I have a couple episodes left to finish it, but I doubt it'll change drastically) |

One is actually my fault; I need to edit the Enlightenment Camp rules to include the rule about waiting one season after a series airs before it is eligible. Even if that was not the case, your nomination is kinda ambiguous, and looks like a regular +1 vote, so please state a couple reasons why you are nominating something in the future (please read the rules). I really don't think anyone else will vote positively for this series, anyway. |

| Space Dandy was my favourite of the winter season (yes, I know that's not saying much considering the quality of the season), but even I would never give it a +1, So I think Aizo is right that this anime really doesn't stand a chance. |
 |
| It has my -1 as well. |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| Space Dandy is ineligible; no need to vote against it. |
| I realllly like Space Dandy and honestly I would +1 it only because I encourage people to watch it. However I seriously do not care whether it is on the Enlightenment list or not. |
| Oh, I'm glad I'm not the only one here who actually genuinely liked LOVED Space Dandy. |
|
| I loved it as well, I just don't think comedies should be Enlightenment worthy. I love that something like it came out now, so nice to see that Japan remembers that its Western audience exists. |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| Oh, I loved Space Dandy myself and I'm looking forward to the second cour. Perhaps I just grew tired of all the tropes in anime (good or bad, doesn't matter, it's a case of oversaturation), so I enjoyed Space Dandy's creativity and art. I'd still give it a -1, but I'd very much recommend it to anyone looking for something a bit...un-anime like. |
|
| No I get that you guys don't think it's Enlightenment worthy, I guess I just don't really know or care what is 'Enlightening' anymore, so I'm of the mind of "If you think others should watch it then it's Enlightening". Just my own personal opinion, not something I'm passionate about though. |
| Is Cypher being on the list a joke? |
 |
Red_Keys said: Is Cypher being on the list a joke? Cipher is the way of life. Cipher is above the list. Cipher is uber-enlightening. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| +1 for Hyouka |
| I nominate Mobile Suit Gundam: War in the Pocket, as a perfect example of a great war drama with human characters as well as telling a simple yet moving coming of age story. |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| I +1 War in the Pocket, great series that works quite well as a standalone and holds up event oday - especially the animation. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| +1 for War in the Pocket |
|
| + 1 War in the Pocket |
| +1 for War in the Pocket because even though it's a great Gundam entry, it stands out well on its own too. Change all Gundam names and it's still as good. To the e-list with it! |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| +1 War in the Pocket |
 |
| -1 for Space Dandy right now (good, but not outstanding like that) as well as -1 to Hyouka (snorefest that is just generic KyoAni). |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| You already voted for Hyouka, Nid Speaking of which, 2 more votes til War in the Pocket gets polled and one more til Hyouka gets polled. |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| -1 for Hyouka, it's decent but far from enlightening. -1 for Space Dandy, same as above. |

If a mayority agrees it is option 2 I see no point to vote for it. generally speaking, i mean. it's just obvious that the option 2 voters will vote in the official poll as well then. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| I better get back to Hyouka soon lol. |
| My belated apologies sir Aizo, I'll be sure to make a proper statement and nominate before I cast a vote next time. Also -1 for Hyouka, because of passivity, cognitive curiosity & prosocial behavior, the characters are to quirky that the concept it tries to portrayed looked pretentious. |
"Deep." |

I just want to give the show its fair chance, as there is nothing like it among slice of life series. If it loses in a poll then fine, I'll concede defeat. And I personally think that a debate about the show would be pretty interesting, even if the outcome is obvious. Just saying. |
| "The more inexperienced you are, the more you want to show off." - Oreki, Hyouka |
| mm... I can guess where that discussion would go. It's probably too mundane and boring to get enlightenment status. Although, I only found the first episode boring. |
| I've tried watching Hyouka, but I could only see... umm, hear nice music. Maybe I'm missing something, but if there is a reason to nominate it, then it should be very easy to name its enlightening attributes. I don't give a shit about its quality, but I do care if it has a purpose or not. |
| A great character driven show which uses its themes and mysteries to give the characters' personalities extra layers and more human, amazing animation quality that actually adds something to the show (it makes even the most mundane objects seem alive and becomes more lively as the show progresses, which fits Oreki's character development throughout the show) and drama that doesn't feel forced or stupid and instead feels natural and consistent. I have many more reasons to nominate it, but this is why in a nutshell. I'll say more if it gets polled. |
